BlackBox Simulation releases Cessna L-19 ‘Bird Dog’

Is it in MP yet?

No, I guess you’ll have to buy it in 2020, then wait for your 2024 Library to import it. If I had to do it all over again, I’d buy it directly from Blackbox.

I have it in my library now after a few weeks of it showing in the MP but for some reason not actually streaming (previous 2020 MP purchase). It is as enjoyable as ever and works fine in 2024 except for one minor thing: while the flaps function as expected, the extending/retracting sound doesn’t stop playing when they are on any position other than fully up or down.

Same here. Flap motor does not stop running

Will the L19 ever get a graphical improvement update, especially the interior would be nice if it looked a bit more 2024?

Haven’t tried it for a long while but is the flap motor still running even if flaps are down? If it’s still broken like this then it means it’s been broken since release of 2024 and I wouldn’t expect any graphics update. Also, unless I missed something I haven’t heard the devs adreess it in a meaningful way

What about MP purchased planes? I don’t think this fix is doable for MP version

Im afraid not no … These will have to wait for an MP Update

when will that be?

This bush plane begs for some love, systems fidelity and refreshing :smirking_face:

Gonna do a 2024 native update of this one, like the Islander? The BN-2 and this are my most-flown BB planes, so the most likely to get repurchased. :slight_smile:

As your earliest effort, this would really be well worth full price for a full upgrade. Be nice to have the float version with ‘24 water visuals/physics.

I second that, especially as I have more or less given up on waiting for the AT Simulations Bird Dog to ever get released (2024 or otherwise).

Likely left to die on the vine now that it has made its way to the Market Place.

(ツ)_/¯

WHEN we get around to it guys … I wish more than you do we can do every update at once .. There is MASSES Of work involved with each one and the Islander was chosen as the first, simply based on its popularity

Patience Guys … they will come
