C208B Grand Caravan EX Mods General

There is since today another mod, but this modifies only the performance, not the switches. I did a short dirty test, to early to say something about it.

Does it get rid of the glasses?

Iā€™ve just installed SU12 and I donā€™t have any glasses.

Thatā€™s my view :pensive:

You probably donā€™t have the mod installed. I have SU12 - glasses and what not still there with the current mod.

I tried the following versions:

2203.2.2 = glasses
2212.1(latest version) = glasses
experimental = no glasses, but not compatible with other mods (eg sound, liveries,ā€¦)

As @DAQUA3828 has mentioned, version 2212.2 doesnā€™t suffer this problem.

What do I need to change within the experimental mod, to get the livereies and the sound mod working again. With 2212. it works, but thre are the glassesā€¦

Same. The pilot structure is on the way of view.
Any clues?
All stuff is updatede.

weā€™re all waiting for an update

Dear all,

On github is a workaround. For me itā€™s working

Hopefully this will show up on dot.to soon.
Not too familiar with github. Thanks for the heads up.

Just open the link. There is a discription, which file need to be replaced

Good thing this workaround works. Just noticed this when I went to download 2212.1:

Archived. This file has been archived and is no longer supported by the author.

I was able to get the sunglasses issue fixed (huge thank you for the work-around); on my initial test flight afterwards, I noticed that the start up was a bit strange. The Throttle seems to be acting erratically with a single step off/on(max)ā€¦ the throttle doesnā€™t appear to be working at all though as I can only effect RPM increase with the mixture from idle to full richā€¦ No other inputs seem to impact this issueā€¦unflyable obviously. Running SU12 and Improvement Mod 2212.2ā€¦ Any ideas?

Hmmm, the only thing I noticed about the throttle was that Reverse is now available and Idle is tricky to locate. But the throttle increases/decreases rpm as it should and reverse also changes the rpm.
Iā€™d suggest trying the merge of 2212.2 with the one line lod statement again. It doesnā€™t seem like the behavior under your system should be different than the rest if us.

Thanks for the feedbackā€¦I backed up to 2022.1 and (working around the glasses), I see the same throttle issue immediately upon loading. So it seems a bit consistent with whatever configuration / scenario I have going on. I then removed the improvement mod entirely to ensure everything reverts backā€¦Everything seems to be back to normal

The other thing that I noticed is that with keyboard inputs: F1=Idle position, F2=Max, F3=Full reverse thruster.

Unclear yet what is causing this but I will continue to work on it for some better insight /perspectiveā€¦

Thanks for letting me (us?) know about the keyboard inputs. Iā€™ll definitely give them a try.

The workaround is fine for me, Iā€™ve only issues with the FTSIM+ Sound mod, which dosenā€™t work at the moment
