Super VC10 Update

[MALTBY D]

you should have left it as it was, as the Alt hold on the ap is sloppy for real

Bugger.
I seem to remember we've been here before. I wonder if I'd left it as it was on purpose?

Oh well, it's only a romantic view of the real thing.
Like you said elsewhere, most of it shouldn't really work.

BTW If anyone finds anything to query about the updated model/panel, please let me know here.

A small bug:

The radio panel....

In the Windows01 section you refer to the DM_1_11.cab file which isn't present in the VC10 Panel folder.....so either you should deploy the DM_1_11.cab file along with the VC10 panel or you should refer to the VC10.cab file instead....

Now all you get is a black window....

I have quick-fixed it by copying the 'DM_1-11.cab' file into the 'Vickers VC10 Panel' folder (under the 'DMFS Shared Files' folder) and all is bliss.

A very minor minor small bug, is that you have two 9's in the Autopilot part of your manual. The first one should be a 7 instead....

Thanks very much Dan.
I'd never have spotted that 1-11 reference.
Whenever I'm editing panels I have to copy the cab into the main /gauges folder as well. The panel making program can't see cab files in their own folder.

The Panel download has now been fixed & the panel.cfg only refers to DM_VC10.cab
And the first no 9 is now a no 7.
Reading documentation? Ridiculous.

Looks a treat David

Difficult to believe the original package got that award back in 2003. Where did all those years go :roll: :think:

I had the same problem but thanks to Dan's post I got past that very quickly, other than that it looks great to me, thanks Dave.

Just taken it for a spin from JFK to Freeport, unfortunately RL intervened before I could finish the flight, but I'm very impressed by what Isaw Just got to get myself type rated on it now! :dance:

OK some findings....

The altimeter starts off at 10000 instead of 00000, and is only able to change after engine start and a small tab on the AP-ALT button...

Finally got the ability to use nose wheel steering without unabling autorudder, by assigning rudder yaw to a couple of not-default keys. (SHIFT-NUM-0 and NUM-ENTER, Num locks on)

The nosewheel doesn't seem to lock at approx 60 knots? But that is work by design maybe?

Hi Dan,

I'd noticed the default 10000ft but the penny hadn't dropped as I don't use that particular function :roll:

Re the nosewheel lock..
I'm generally concentrating on keeping her down the centreline mate so not looked outside to check. I'd guess that DM has nosewheel steering linked to the rudder key anyway so this will probably continue to turn with rudder movement . I rarely use the rudder on jets.. unless I have the wx on

Hi Dan

My Altimeter shows airfield elevation 347 feet when parked

Did you mean 1,000?

But no matter as it is OK here :think:

[DanKH]

I mean the altimeter set display or the wished-for altimeter or whatshamacallit?

(edit: the "altimeter hold selector")

You DO have DM's updates installed right? including the ones that uses the correct CAB-file?
