Milviz Stuka - FREE

[DaveB]

I sympathise with your plight Dave. The last thing a man of your obvious standing needs is to HAVE to go to the pub to get internet access You'll have to let us know exactly where you're staying so that us blokes can holiday up there and use the same excuse

Well, at this precise moment I'm in the Moorcock Inn but we're staying about half a mile away.

[DaveB]

It looks like a great place for a signal. Good choice mate

Just had a thought (not in pub!) Those not getting the gauge to work, you have added the relevant info in the panel.cfg, and not just dropped the gauge into the folder?

[Paul K]

I don't suppose the landlord of The Moorcock was named Michael, was he ? One for us senior types there.

Yes, I just dropped the xml file straight into the Ju-87D panel folder - nothing more. A big boy told me to do it.

[DaveB]

It's true.. I told him

On a slightly serious note.. I looked in my panel.cfg and couldn't see an entry for it. Now.. whether the Stuka I have installed is the same as the one I had installed when I got my sticky hands on the gauge is a different matter If I have time to flash the old rig up before I go to work tomorrow.. I'll take a look. In fact.. I'll do it now before I go to bed

EDIT: Sri fellas.. I found it on a previous install marked Flight Simulator XBC (the BC denotes Before Crash)

Here's what ya need to get auto crew:

Cheers, Dave B - I'll have a look at that tomorrow, when I have a day off. I'll also have another search for that 'fuel relay on right hand bulkhead' of which you speak. While I can get the Stuka up to take-off speed, the engine seems to be cutting in and out, going by the sound effects. Haven't found the relay yet, but at least it's making me look round the cockpit and discover where everything is, which is something I do about as often as I read the manual.

[Paul K]

All fixed and working now, ta very much, Messrs. G and B. The Stuka's a nice model, and is pretty undemanding to fly, so I'll practice circuits at Duxford in it - the latest warbird addition there

[DaveB]

Glad it's sorted.

Most awkward thing about the Stuka is the vis out I think. There's a hell of a lot of glass there but you don't see a great deal through it Did you get the swastika versions in the freebie or the politically correct ones (or both)? Someone has mentioned that not all the paints from the release version come with the freebie but I couldn't confirm that one way or the other

In the freebie you get 5 D paints and 3 G paints. They are all 'historically' correct rather than 'politically' correct.
