Guys its so much to read through, can you recommend the bird dog now in its current state or should I wait still? Thanks in advance
I can DEFINITELY recommend it all the way! Itâs a VERY simple plane, but it has a lot of character. Letâs put it this way - if you want a nice steam gauge A/C with NO autopilot of any kind, but that has three variants (including a seaplane version), this is the way to go. Itâs worth it. I like flying it.
Nice airplane. Fun to fly. I hope we will see another update to address the carb heat logic, which is reversed (still). But overall, a fun little plane.
I recommend it wholeheartedly . Itâs one of very few amphibian planes at the moment for MSFS (Icon, Goose, Cri Cri) and therefore very nice bush plane, I mostly use this version of it.

Yes. I recommend it. Full of character, and fun to fly. A bit sensitive on trim at times, but that seems to change with Asoboâs own changes to the base sim. The developer has worked very hard to keep on top of this moving target and as a result the aircraft is a keeper. The metal finish on the Canadian version is an absolute treat, a real poser for screenshots!

Folks, I know this isnât really the right place to post this, but Iâve googled endlessly and canât find any clues. My altimeter does not work in any of the 3 models. Just sits at zero. The adjustment knob indicates changes in the pop up, but the needle still doesnât move. Iâve uninstalled and reinstalled as administrator a couple times but no change. Any solutions out there?
First thing I do when something like this occursâŚ
-
In the Packages folder outside of the Community folder, make a temp folder, and remove âallâ your mods and store them there. Iâve had other planes / folders conflict with some mods.
-
See if the Birddog running by itself still has the issue.
-
When you troubleshoot, you have to start somewhere, and removing all other mods is a good place to start.

You can contact the author, heâs been pretty good at getting back to me.
Have you tried hitting the âbâ key on your keyboard To reset to barometric pressure?
There is an easier way of setting up a Community Folder for testing and up dates ( at least it works for me and a few friends) Just put a couple of Numerical Zeros in front of your Community folder. ( OOCommunity) MSFS wonât see it anymore, then add a blank Community folder. Put the file or files in that you want to test etc⌠I actually have a couple (00Community, 000Community etc⌠One is setup for testing Liveries so I donât have to wait so long for it to load up when I just want to Look at my aircraft, and I have one that still contains about 25 old sceneries that I had issues with and Iâm still sorting them out one at a time, and then one is my main normal day to day. Doesnât seem to crash or have any effect on the sim When you are done with testing just add a zero or two and then remove the zeros from the main folder. Works for when the updates come along as well.
Sweet, how did I not see this earlier!

Your just doing the same thing, your creating new folders, its easier just to put a temp at the root of âPackagesâ, and leave it there for future use. Since you are doing a cut/paste and not copying, the folders/files are moved instantly.
Cool, or just use MSFS Addons Linker

Youâre right, you never should have posted this here, as the thread is for ânewâ releases of the L19, now its taking the original post way off-topic.
Just another area where Ms is asleep at the wheel, as these forums are poorly designed / laid out.
Or you can just get MSFS Addons Linker so you donât have to screw around in file manager.
Spot on KJKerr! Setting the barometer via âBâ was the secret sauce to get it operational. Thanks!
Happy to help

Update link should be in your email. It may have found its way to the spam folder, so check there if it is nowhere to be found.

No link so far for me. 
If you have ever received an update e-mail for the Bird Dog, you can still use that âoldâ link. It is the same link no matter what version the current version is.
