BlackBox Simulation releases Cessna L-19 ‘Bird Dog’

Yes, that topic came up in the call developers call asking when Asobo is going to add water physics. I don’t remember there being an answer as to a date.

Hi. Could you post the patch notes? Couldn’t find them on your homepage/FB. Someone on flightsim.to notified me, my livery pack isn’t working anymore after the update and I’m trying to figure out, what may have caused that. Thanks!

we never issued a livery pack ?

How would his notes tell you what is wrong with your pack? What does “Isn’t working anymore” mean? When did it used to work? Is it working for you?

There’s not much that would be related to what he did unless you were using the panel.cfg hack for the registration number. I can show you how to apply that if you’re having an issue. You can make it independent of the panel.xml file with a

<Include RelativeFile=“…/…/Carenado_M20R_Ovation/panel/panel.xml”/>

if that’s a problem worst case.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, with “my livery pack” I was refering to “the livery pack I made” :slightly_smiling_face:

What a fantastic little plane this is! Even I can fly it! Seriously, though, this is some great work - just such a lovely plane to look at, inside and out. Kudos to the developer/s - quality shines through. I’m very happy with my purchase!

p.s. - A paint kit would be really nice, too!

Just read your message NightMercury. Too late I ordered it that same night when I got in. I don’t talk the talk I Do the walk . Lol. I think the version in Msfs 2020 marketplace for the Bird Dog was 1.7.5.

I bought it and downloaded that night 2 days ago thru MSFS . Like I said in my last message, I am impressed with your dedication to maintain your master piece.

. Regardless we should get the update like the other pistons. Correct ? We always get automatic updates for all the craft we acquired in the way of our Deluxe version of MSFS. I haven’t checked but it’s Friday 4 23 2021. 9: 22 pm est. Hanging out with friends. Is 1.8 available now thru Msfs 2020. No worries I am sure 1.8 will come our way thru those channels. Right?

Sorry, your post is a little confusing …
However … V1.8 is now available on Marketplace
And the Update will be available from BBS Website later today
(You should indeed receive an email )

Hope this helps ?

Hi NightMercury358 - I have updated the L-19 and emailed Blackbox about a couple of problems.
Since the update I can no longer start the airplane from the ramp or parked as I could in the prior version. Now must use ctrl-E no matter what I try.
Also the airplane is underpowered and can barely take off - stall horn blaring. In the prior version the power was more accurate to what I am familiar with.
Also - the airports are overpopulated with L-19’s and they are sinking into the concrete, tarmac, grass wherever they are parked.
I bought the plane from MSFS Marketplace a week ago - and updated it there yesterday 4/23/2021
I loved the airplane in the prior version to this update. How can I have that one back? lol

Yes I was just in the act of responding to your email …

I have made no changes to the FDE so I do not understand why you are seeing this lack of power …
Regards to Starting make sure you have ALL the following setup correctly
1 - FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH To LEFT or RIGHT
2- MAG / IGNITION Switch to BOTH
3 - Battery ON

Then it should start and stay running

ok - yes I have the fuel, batt, and mag switches correct, prime the motor, fuel pump on, and press the starter button - nothing changes when I press ctrl-E - other than the motor starts so I assume I have the procedure correctly implemented.
I have checked to make sure my joystick settings have not changed - possible the throttle axis or calibration could have been altered? but no - nothing was changed other than the aircraft now seems to have less power at full or near full throttle than in the last version. Maybe I should delete the folder and reinstall?

If you dont mind reinstalling yes … see what that gives you …
Meanwhile I will continue investigating here But I can assure you , as a test… I just fired up the Amphib with no Issues

try the tundra please? and not from the runway but parked if possible - and thank you for checking it

update 1.8 carried out, the copilot is finally among us, perfect. Everything works perfectly, door bug corrected. :+1:

as a Quick and dirty fix while we investigate properly …
Do a CTRL+E Start … then shut down again …

this seems to be resetting something Asbo have Unset, that we had already re set in previous builds
:slight_smile:
