Mosquito, in Microsoft’s Aircraft Selection (i.e. the aircraft you chose, the BN2) under the Weight and Balance tab, even if you’ve set the one passenger to ‘0’ lbs, the passenger list still shows at 170 lbs for the seven other seats, so it looks like the spots should be filled. But like NightMercury said, there are no other passengers. This confused me at first, too. The passenger labled Front Pax Right is the one you want to change to ‘0’ lbs. And don’t put your cursor in the field and just backspace her weight out or you end up with "NaN lb, and you’ll think you’ve zeroed the her out, but she still shows up. You have to put in a “0” for the lbs.
All subtly confusing, I know. but like you say the plane is good and so much fun to fly.
I just found all that in the tutorial file in the documents folder on my PC. Naturally, that wasn’t available to me on the Xbox nor BBS’ website (that I could find).
That was the issue – The clipboard and static elements.
It was your Tutorial PDF that I needed to see to learn about the clipboard checklist and the new static elements that were preventing startup. I couldn’t find the Tutorial on your website, just the POH.
I knew to look for it on PC from reading this thread and recalled in the back of my mind that the Tutorial existed.
I just tried flying the new version of the Islander on my Xbox before I tried it on my PC. It also didn’t help that I was doing this for the first time at night and couldn’t even see the static elements, since it was dark.
Finally got to try the update with the Marketplace version. Really a great plane to hand fly.
A couple questions about the DME: it only appeared to pickup NAV2 and I couldn’t find a place to switch to NAV1, is that possible? Also the minute display only read 00, is this functional? And I couldn’t tune the frequency, the knobs turn, but the frequency didn’t change.
You had remembered to press the “arm” button on the autopilot? Hate to ask you the obvious but normally when I sail through an altitude I’ve dialled it in its because I’ve forgotten to arm it…
Well, @NightMercury358 you’ve done it again — I’ve gotten to re-fall in love with the Islander!
Great job on this update and thank you so very much for providing this for free to us original owners and for your continued attentiveness here on the forum.
Agree with all the positive reports. Downloaded the v2 update today from the in game marketplace. It’s very nice & really well done. Great new visuals and amazing sound. Thank you for this fantastic free upgrade. I think I’ll be flying the Islander a lot more now. Would definitely recommend it to others.
My only suggestions for it now would be -
A sprinkling of optional passengers and maybe an option for official support (selectable from clipboard?) for the GTN750 panel rather than having to unofficially mod it in to replace the GNS530. I hate the 530.
