LOVE THIS PAINT!!! And the plane too. ![]()
On another note: Has anyone noticed the really bad offset of the cockpit view in VR? Any chance that can be fixed for the next update?

Heheh, I guess your alternator isnât workingâŚ. At least thats would happen IRL. ![]()
Too close of front panel? Yes. I use custom view (saved positions) mostly in my addons and VR.
UPDATE IS OUT ![]()
CHIPMUNK UPGRADE
An upgrade for the new DH Canada Chipmunk is now available. Hereâs the changelog:
Version 1.4.0
Fuel now correctly feeds from both despite the previous loaded flight or any other modifications by end user.
Left fuel gauge now reading correctly.
Compass bezels now correctly can be moved in an anticlockwise or clockwise direction.
Rear compass lock is now independent to the front cockpit.
Radios can be turned off ( NAV power is dependent on COM power )
Carb heat mouse issue resolved.
Ground/flight switch works closer to the real thing. This is important the battery is OFF when the switch is in the ground position. Power is provided by the external power source. Once in the air you cannot select ground power.
Number 18 on the manual is in the correct place (for the Birdcage model).
Copilot missing issue fixed.
Minor modeling and texture issues corrected.
AUW adjusted to 2100lbs.
RPM performance curve adjusted. ( Low RPM mag test now results in 75 rpm drop and overal efficiency lower at lower RPM)
Plain paint texture folder supplied for repainters.
Just re-download from your vendor. The Version number is 1.4.0
Canât seem to find the paint kit in ver 1.4, web page mentions paint kit in downloads but no link, only link is to download manual.
Yes, just the lower wing markings left to finish up, but Iâm going to wait for the paint kit to be released first so I can fine tune my work. This was just a quick and dirty RCAF livery using the existing textures as a starting point.
Right, not PK yet Aeroplane Heaven - You're virtually there.⢠deHavilland DHC-1 Chipmunk for MSFS.
Nope, when I spawn in I am literally sitting halfway out on the port wingâŚ
Thatâs weirdâŚI found the default VR position to be almost perfect. Iâm using a Reverb G2. This is with the standard RAF version.
you might need to delete and reinstall the aircraft
Thereâs an update, so I will do that later this evening. I installed through Orbyx, so should not be an issue. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the heads-up.
If only we get such a speedy update also for one vintage BoeingâŚ
Pilot body on custom view wasnt fixed in this patch
I hope it willl be in the next update.
If you want, write to AH support help@aeroplaneheaven.com. More votes = they will fix it soon.
Some issues concerned by my mod were fixed with v.1.4.0, others were not.
Fixed:
Tanks are now set on both (even if in .flt they still on âLeftâ).
Flaps lever movement and Up/Down indications are now as they should be.
Not fixed:
As said above by rafikst, âghostâ pilot.
Tailwheel still buried in ground.
Flaps degrees display in HUD still incomplete.
I made a new mod for v.1.4.0 taking these changes in account.
All details are in install.txt and the pdf.
And as before youâll also find an A/P and the bonus function.
Discover it by trying the mod
Blue skies
the flaps handle and placard have been corrected
I installed the new version and I must have messed something up on my test flight because I ran out of electrical power after about 5 minutes of flight.
I had same issue with the birdcage version of the Chipmunk. After 5 minutes the battery is empty if it is not connected to the running engine (point 8 in the manual (see screenshot). You do that via keybind Left ALT+B.
Ok I thought that might have been the case, but I didnât bother to connect the battery since the radios were now getting power below 1000rpm. I did try using that keybind to connect the battery after I lost power but no change, I wouldâve expected the generator to be able to still power everything despite the battery being flat. I honestly donât see this as an improvement.
Itâs been that way since launch. Hopefully theyâll get it in the second patch, if there is one.
