John,

I must echo Martin's words appreciating your huge contribution to our hobby. Quite apart from the vast body of work you produced to an ever higher standard, your readiness to share the knowledge gained has been invaluable.

You have always responded kindly, helpfully and patiently to my ...

Excellent work, you're filling some major gaps.

It turned out to be a simply resolved known issue, although the root cause remains elusive. Some think it's sometimes related to Windows updates, but whatever the reason, a reboot is needed. The key point, apparently uniquely in the case of Windows 10, is that this has to be done as a restart, not ...

I think I had a similar issue a couple of years ago and it disappeared on its own..

..when I try to change the view in any of the four display quadrants, nothing happens when I right click the mouse. However, I can still change the views such as left, right, top, bottom by using hot keys.

So far ...

Thanks John,

I admit I was unsure if I'd sufficiently defined the gear positions, so I followed your convention and set the ground contact position at KF130. I'll also admit that one more check showed that I'd made an error with part naming. In short, the wheels are correctly aligned now.

Test ...

I've been working slowly on a new project for a while now, a KAI T-50. By my modest FS9 standards, most things are going well, but I have one persistent problem for which I have run out of ideas.

The gear animation mostly works, with the exception of the main gear wheels. Although they behave ...

A couple of thoughts, and apologies if they make no sense due to my lack of understanding of the issues, but:

1. Is there anyone else of this forum who uses Gmax with Windows 11? Maybe they don't upload, but is there nevertheless experience that can be shared?

2. What about those clever people ...

It's back now in the UK.

I get the same..

Initially FS9, I'm afraid, to match my (lack of) skill level..

And I have a KAI T-50 underway, but it won't be quick..

Seems we need more modellers..

Just asking because I never did work out how to make the special afcads needed to make some of the SBAI models land properly, or is that no longer an issue?

Jon

Assuming the Mi8/Mi17 to be the SBAI model, which afcads/ADE do you use with it?

Jon

Thankyou, John, for yet another great package. There's a lot of appreciation out there, not always expressed, for everything that you create for us. I hope you've got a few more in you yet!

Jon

Sympathies, John. We lost our border collie quite a long time ago, but I remember all too well how hard it was.

I'll second Jim's shout, as I was in Fulda for a while in the 80's. It was nothing to do with the Hueys, I should add, but I certainly remember seeing them often.

Jon

Looking good, John. This is going to be a widely used one, with Hungary and Czechia also having ordered it and others sure to follow.

Jon

That's good to know, as I was assuming I'd done something wrong. I swapped in the original FS9 Pa23 Apache and it flew fine. When I compared the FDE's between the Apache and the Aztec, the latter had a radically different CG figure. So, I might try to tweak as and when.

Meanwhile, I tried a ...

Okay, I can report progress, but not yet success.

Switching the air file did indeed prevent CTD, and the plane displays in the sim. It starts and taxies fine, although the props stop when the engine is idling.

Take off is also okay, and the undercarriage retracts, but when the plane starts a right ...

Thanks Greg, I'll try that when I next get time and report back. Out of curiosity, why did you mention that CTD was especially likely with Todd's? If we can make this work, he has warbirds (Avenger, B-26) that would also be targets.

Jon
