High quality improvements like this could make it back to Milviz/Blackbird and go into the official version, you never know.
This is amazing! I was disappointed that there were no bush tires included.
The ability to hide the tablet and the other additions are awesome too. Canāt wait for this download to become available!
Download is available now!
Its great to have this mod @DigitalJonx , any chance of a non tinted windscreen option? Typical overcast weather in the UK looks pretty dark through that tinted glass.
First thing i noticed with this mod is the pitch response. Smooth as butter now, almost like a FBW system. Thank you.
I still get bugged by the default camera view angling down. No idea what Mr Milviz was thinking Their PC-6 has some of the best views in the biz.
I havent tried this mod yet but I have a question:
Have you fixed / Will you fix / can you even fix the bug wherein all fuel related keybindings do not work in the Beaver ?
Thanks you !
Hey everyone! Iām glad everyone is enjoying it so far! Although I may not respond to every request personally, I do read them. Hopefully, soon, Iāll post a roadmap of some of your requests.
As I dont OWN the source 3D Files, 3D Model merging whilst retaining animations is very difficult. However, as you can tell with the Bush Wheels, it is possible. That being said, I may not be able to fix EVERY addition you want to add to the 3D Models, but Iāll try.
Thanks for the support, guys. I truly appreciate it and hope that you will all support our upcoming Got Friends products like the Wilga or RM-500 Helo in the future.
I was a little apprehensive releasing a Bush Mod for the Beaver, especially so soon to Wilga release. However, I donāt consider them oppositesā¦ more like Brothers. I knew the community would appreciate this improvement mod and still find hype for the Wilga in the future. At the end of the day, it was my decision to share this with the community so close to our release.
Seriously, thank you for your support. More to come from Jonx Simulations and Got Friends in the future. Your support means the world to me! Please consider checking out our upcoming Wilga if Bush flying interests you. Cheers!
Donāt worry, the Wilga is still very much a day one purchase!
Not sure about the RM-500 yet, since I would very much prefer a big boy MD-500, but I will keep an eye on it.
Iām just wondering, is it possible to just add switch state saving via mod to a plane like the Beaver in MSFS?
I was surprised when I saw this in x-plane. The payware DC-3 there had no state saving, so someone just made a small fan mod that has added it. I wonder if this is something that would be even possible in the current state of MSFS and for an improvement mod like this.
That may be a little more difficult to do than the rest of the requestsā¦ Iāll definitely dig more into the code and see whatās possible. Cheers!
Can the amount of waterspray be adjusted for individual speeds? It seems a bit much at low speeds.
I spawned on the paved runway at PAKT with big tires version. About 150 feet of the runway under the plane turned to grass. The paved runway was visible behind and in the distance ahead. When I reloaded the flight with the normal tire version this disruption did not occur. I tried several other runways - paved, grass, gravel - and did not see any disruption.
Also after the first fly button, the big tires mod sometimes spawns with view outside upside down when showing the second fly button. Hitting fly again corrects the orientation.
IMPROVEMENT MODIFICATIONS (Version 1.0.1.):
- Added 35" Bush Wheel Bone Animation Compatibility with Original Gear
- Now your tires and gear will react appropriately to Weight and Compression when landing.
Sorry for the Quick Update! Was my Only Focus this Morning!
Everything works perfectly, except I donāt have the Amphibious Water Spray
keep āem coming, the potential for this aircraft is limitless, thanks again!
Jonx, what do you think should be done with the Line.1 through Line.12 that appear in flight_model.cfg? Listing these may be vital to the fuel model but having 10 non-tanks show up in WEIGHT AND BALANCE page seems unpolished to me. Any way to hide from the dropdown? Asobo bug?
Many thanks for this! Really appreciate the Beaver getting some love. And donāt worry about the Wilga, itās a day one purchase for me too.
I would love to see this include a prop mod for a more realistic look when the prop is spinning. In real life it would be almost invisible. It also helps with VR when using motion reprojection. Like the ones here: VR Friendly Prop Mod MULTI PASS! Ā» Microsoft Flight Simulator
Great mod. One of my few gripes was that the pitch was certainly too sensitive (have a few hours on one IRL).
Great to be able to hide the tablet. But how do you get it to reappear?
