I’m surprised anyone has time to admire liveries while flying this thing. :sweat_smile: There’s more than enough ‘in’t office’ to keep you busy. :+1:

I hope to have this photo-based version by the weekend. Taking some time to learn the ins and outs of the paint map. Patience is a virtue :slight_smile:

Wow, that’s excellent. A slab-sided airplane with nice straight UV mapping really lends itself to this sort of thing!

Thank you much! This will help with some of the final detailing for the AAL livery I’m working on! :slight_smile:

Just wanted to test the new update. Loaded up and tested both 330 and 360 and both in cold and dark slowly losing fuel if I goto the load menu popup!? Anybody else seeing this behaviour?
It eventually stops later but on loading its slowly decreasing

Cheers T.

This is actually an irl feature

There’s a reason why this is nicknamed “The Irish Concorde”. You know how the SR-71 Blackbird leaks fuel when it’s on the ground?- Same.

Due to very high heat temperatures when travelling at Mach 2 the Shorts metal skin shrinks and as such you’ll find that fuel leaks out when it expands again back on the ground.

The developer has deliberately excluded this from the manual as an Easter egg.

Ah this explains. And I was overtaking some of these escort fighters that thought me an alien ship :smiley:

I noticed that too. I was hoping that it was just some custom code that was filling up the collector tanks but I really have no idea.

Sorry to ask again!
Does anyone know which kind of version is Air Cargo Carriers flying these days?
Do they have a GPS installed? Is the G400?
Do they have autopilot?
Just to make sure I properly simulate the largest operator of these wonderful(?) planes today.

CLB/DESC and ALT SEL still deactivate when switching between NAV and HDG modes. Guessing this is a bug?

871

Also, any plans to option the Garmin 530 or 750?

872

I don’t know (guessing and could be wrong) but I would suspect not given that the dev has spent quite a lot of time on a customised Garmin AS 400 GPS system.

As for the 750, I guess the free/payware PMS50 is still an option albeit used from the toolbar :slightly_smiling_face:

874

Ummm, how can I make the Yoke visible again? Can’t find the clickspot

Ah found it: https://i.imgur.com/IYNVEEG.png

Hi all

I have this livery ready to go, but I’m not sure how to make a stand-alone package to put in the community folder (I’ve backed up the white livery).

Any help on this would be great, as there are no livery jsons, etc to “borrow” and edit from for this plane.

Thanks

Hi,

Is there a way I can edit the 330/360 cargo model window blanks? I would like to make them more true to real world colour. (See picture below).

I remember them from days gone, they were just large panels hung over the inside wall of the aircraft to protect the lining and windows.

These were used for the pax to cargo role change, not the permanent cargo type.

Or is it part of the model?
