- NAVCOM and ADF functionality restored.
- Flap lever reversal fixed.
Feature Updates:
- COM volume now turns unit on/off properly when controlled by external hardware, keyboard, HOTAS, radio panel etc.
- COM, NAV, and ADF volumes now turn by 4 percent instead of 2 percent.
- AP installation can now be toggled on/off. Use the intercom switch, Phone/Speaker. Can only be changed whilst on the ground!!!
- Flight model update from Beta 8 hotfix.
Known issues:
The “BOTH” button not quite right, fix TBD
Cold & Dark start radio’s “may” start with volumes turned up, returns to normal after first flight???
Hi, thanks for this improvement mod and all the nice features like DME and the engine logic.
Definitely not an expert here, just beginning the flight sim, but I feel (and might be wrong) that the flight model is a bit off about lift. Indeed, when I tried to stall the plane, I was still gaining altitude while under 40 KIAS, and I stalled only when the anemometer was at 0. Also it’s really easy to take off at 40 KIAS no flaps. Is this supposed to be the normal behaviour of the plane?
Can anyone help me please? Seems I am unable to start the C152 anymore, no matter how I try, I cannot get the thing to tick over, I use the usual procedure for start up and the prop spins a bit but doesn’t fire up properly. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have a question regarding flaps control:
If adjust flaps to 10 or 20 degrees, the switch is wobbling a little bit up and down. On my headset I can hear the humming of flaps motors.
Seems that “tolerance” at this positions is very low, especially if you set flaps with external device.
Does anybody encounter this too?
What variables are you using for the flaps? On my bravo I’m using FLAPS_INC and FLAPS_DEC. Using mouse or the switch I’m not seeing anything off. Do you get the same thing in the Asobo 152?
I use Logitech throttle with the propeller (the blue one) lever assigned to flaps and have the same problem. I move it a little up/down then to make it “sit” steady on the flaps 10/20 slot.
As fas as I remember it happens with the stock 152 too, but I do not remember encountering this before the SU6.
ahhh. if you have it on a lever, then you’re probably using a flap axis control setting. This would cause that issue. Only way around that would be some clever programming of tthat axis if you use spad or fsuipc etc…
I have just read Known Issues;), it may seem right that the radios are on only on the first flight, subsequent flights with the same MSFS session are ok.
Yes, but pre-SU6 it seemed more “tolerant” on the lever level readings, so the flap switch usually sticked to the 10 or 20 degrees slot well. Maybe raw analog readings give variable values (like 40,41,40,41…) and there was some average function to make them steady or something similar.
That may be but that would ultimately be an Asobo thing then , as we are using the same code for flaps as the default plane.
I was just checking it now, using the built in option for flap axis -100 to 100. Other than the hardware lever not having detents, I can move the flaps around with even more control than just say the flaps up/down commands that would then set it to 10, 20, 30. I could set it at 15 (well around) if I wanted. But once I stop moving the lever the flaps settle in. This may actually be more realistic to the actual lever, as the only “detent” is really just a ledge you hit at the 10 mark.
Hi there, yes you’re right. I’m using a lever on my Saitek throttle, same like zvision78 post before.
But as you state, I think I have to program it with spad. I am using spad too, but until now not for the flaps control. I will test/change that in the next days.
You asked if this behavior is also true for the stock C152. No, definitely not. I tested it. Maybe it has to do with the “steps” the JPL version has. I mean that little “move right” at position 10 and 20 to get to the flaps position.
well as I said, we haven’t touched the flaps code, its the same as the default plane.
Since you said you use spad (I"ve got that and just looked at that too ) when you select the axis, add event, standard axis…there’s an option for Flaps (auto-detent) that actually sets it into the different positions with a bit a room around each side…That must be something new they added, last time I had flaps on a lever was when I was playing with the FBW A320, and I don’t remember that being an option lol
Mmmh, think that’s the better way and I will look how to make it with spad. Makes more sense to have 3 fixed positions and send this constants to the sim via spad.
Question: Did you do this once for the saitek? Can you probably share some spad config?
Does’nt really matter if not but would be nice
