Thank you and @VanDisaster

I uninstalled and reinstalled both planes and the clipboard works fine now. Odd but at least it works…

Hi

So not sure why, but i have had two CTDs so far with the plane.
Deleted old version installed new version and had two CTDs.

Not had ctds in a long time…anyone else see anything - other wise i will report it to BB.
In the current Beta SU10

Update tried two more flights in the Black Square Caravan and had no issues

ta

By the way - when the plane was flying - it was brilliant…i like all the new versions and liveries.
Does anyone have an opinion on the sound - its not as good as i remember it…or is it just my old ears?

There are widespread CTD issues ongoing this weekend, it is not this aircraft. See the forum thread on CTDs.

And there is an ever lengthening thread on the dreaded memory/application error on the bugs/ctd subsection for your bedtime reading. Welcome to my World and oddly, I have just completed a flight with V2 and no issues whatsoever. Hope for something in SU10 as people seem to have covered everything else!

If just downloaded the Islander, looks great but also had two CTD’s after about 10 minutes.
Tried the Hunter and it was the same.
As its a new PC tried downloading some of my usual manual cache areas and guess what… CTD after 10 minutes or so.
So it definitely seems as though its related to the scenery data feed and not the aircraft.

The new engines sound great, the props are just missing some body, I think - open the window, the sound is there, just doesn’t attack you.

Haven’t had a CTD in months.

Skybus flight with GTN650 mod.

Does the BN-2 v2 simulate engine failures?

I lost power to the port engine in the BN-2 Maritime Defender after flying through smoke coming out of smoke stacks that were added by the We Love VFR mod, but am thinking it was a coincidence and power was lost from running the engines too hard for too long?

Misusing carb heat will cause a lot of problems in the Trislander engines ( my first flight ended up in the Solent :stuck_out_tongue: ) - I’ve reflexively checked carb inlet temp in v2 Islander flights so I haven’t lost anything due to that yet, but I can’t imagine why it’s not modelled here too. I don’t know if MSFS models anything thermal from smoke.

Pure coincidence Unless you had some carb ice

I put a reference vid up, thought I might as well link it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnvbyuJGYXE - there is a link there for a vid done on the same gear ( about a week ago ) in v1, if you want to compare the audio side by side.

( if you spot a bug feel free to mention it ).

Where can I get that, and how do I integrate it?

@NightMercury358 I found one thing that could be addressed in the next update. The OBS knobs on both Nav indicators work backwards, both in relation to the click-spot curved mouse pointers, and with the mouse wheel rotation. Other than that, I’m very happy after my first flight.

Edit: I tried to post this on the BBS support forum, but the board refused to accept my post, then the board crashed.

it is based on Jaydee’s mod: JDs PMSGTN750 on Others Mod Ā» Microsoft Flight Simulator i only made panel mod to enable it on this plane

Not able to use the old liveries in the new update any ideas

Livery designers will need to make new versions of their skins for the v2.0. I’m sure it won’t take too long to start seeing them come through!

I am concerned the livery developers aren’t going to go to the trouble of updating their liveries and even more concerned that there is going to be a mixup on flightsim.to which groups old and new liveries together for the plane, confusing everyone.

If a livery hasn’t been updated for a while, we’ll just do a new version. The version control is an annoyance, but that’s that site.

Doesn’t take much work porting maps over ( I’d still like psds for the comps for the main two at least though pretty please? :slight_smile: )

What is the mod you have on your windshiled?
