Sure, but this thread does have something to do with BlackBox. And being that you’re absent on your own company’s forums while being active over here means you’ve invited comments on this platform. Again, take some responsibility.

Frankly I don’t see anything working against the “Code of Conduct” here, but just an add-on developer who has a history of grossly misleading their customers. I think I’ve made my point. Happy to say no more about it.

Sorry for the question here about Bird Dog of BBS for P3Dv5 - demo does CTD of whole sim. I added the question here but no any reply: Demo of L-19 Bird dog causes CTD the whole P3Dv5 - BLACKBOX SIMULATION SOFTWARE . Is it here any member of BBS? TY.
we have received the report and we are looking into it, thank you
Thx 
! Id like to use Try before buy ;).
I predict you will like it a lot. Internally, she is not exactly “eye-candy” compared to some other offerings but externally it’s very nice, flies great, you can land it almost anywhere and it is the subject of frequent updates by the developer. Only real complaints you usually hear are:
- Price
- Interior finish
Other than those, you get three airplanes and lots of liveries. It really is a hoot to fly.

Should the co-pilot be visible now? Mine is not. I miss it. :0)
Also, is there an easy way to tell what version we have installed? Pretty sure I’m up to date with 1.7.5 but not sure how to verify.
Waiting on reports of CoPilot issue… I think it may be related to latest MSFS Update ( again )
and If you download the latest then you have the latest
Current Download Version - v1.7.5
Update coming soon though

In a brief test if I make sure I had some weight (used 140 lbs) in the backseat (Station 2) I get a passenger back there. If I zero out the weight, I’m solo.
With a further bit of testing…I took off with a passenger/CFI in the backseat. I had AI handling the radio. About five minutes into the hop I turned off the AI radio assistance. [edit I had also jumped to an external view prior to this.] I looked behind me and the seat was empty.
Side note, the two metal frame members run through the backseater’s cranium just above their eyes.
Today started with a passenger in the backseat, a few minutes after takeoff…poof…I was solo. Not sure if switching to an external view triggered it.
Side Note 3
She is sat in the Baggage area … Hence the struts through her temples It IS a bug 100% … but not sure who’s yet… I DO Believe its ASOBO’s however but we are nonetheless working on it
It appears (without rigorous testing) that switching to an external view and back to the cockpit view triggers the backseater to vanish.
Apols if I have missed it somewhere but is there a target date for a Bird Dog paint kit?
There is No Target date However we have been busy with a Major Update V1.800 which will be released within days on Marketplace and our Website, so this will give us opportunity to prepare the kit

RESOLVED ! ! !
We have managed to do the implausible lol
In V1.800 ( coming within days) you will only see Pilot, Passengers and Bags in external views …
when you switch to an Internal view … ALL will remain visible apart from the Pilot .
We will be looking to apply this to “Co pilot” Views also in the near future
