Hi Shessi , I know I'm pushing my luck but; any chance of a CFS2 version of this very lovely aircraft !! Regards as always , 1150

​I am so effing frustrated. I just bought Active Sky addon, hoping that somehow it would miraculously fix my weather problem in MSFS. Unfortunately it did absolutely nothing. I used the app with P3D and loved it. I found areas of the world with severe weather, but when I start a flight there, nothing but clear skies. Damn it! I just sent a email to HiFi Simulations, hoping they can shed some light on this problem. Granted, the problem is not with their app, but getting help from Microsoft might take a LONG time to get a response. I have searched for reports by others for this issue, and although people have had similar problems, the solutions they were given have not fixed mine.

Making progress, still a long way to go.

It's great seeing the British carrier in development to go with your Seafires, Mike! I take it you've probably seen this already (lots of great Seafire carrier action):

Or ...

:ernaehrung004: Looks great! Thanks! I have a soft spot for those less celebrated utility types.

Here is a list of the contents of the P-51D Panel folder - it's identical to the Panel in the P-51DFT folder. Huub, the only thing I can suggest is to duplicate the Panel with the gauges to all the P-51's. Hopefully, no idea why, it should work! The gauges must be in the Panel folder, not the Model folder.. (I'm sure you did mean the Panel folder) You said 'I'm afraid the fix didn't work for me. The problem persists. I do have the gauges in the models in the CWDT_P-51d folder, but not in the models in the other two folders....'

I had the REX weather app, and I uninstalled it, thinking that was the culprit, but not so. I renamed my Community folder to let MSFS generate a new one. That didn't work either, and resetting the graphics settings in MSFS had no effect. I am at a standstill now, with this problem. Zero clouds, no matter what I select, period. NC

All sorted now. Just a recap.. Original: P-51D 2D panel working, No VC P-51DBR & P-51DFT 2D & VC working (both panels aliased to P-51D) Now for the weird thing - Replaced P-51D with the new P-51D FIX P-51D 2D & VC working P-51DBR & P-51DFT 2D panel working, No VC (both panels aliased to P-51D)

Thanks a lot- I search on Roland

I'm afraid the fix didn't work for me. The problem persists. I do have the gauges in the models in the CWDT_P-51d folder, but not in the models in the other two folders.... Hopefully I will find some time somewhere tomorrow to do some additional experimenting and have a close look to what is in the panel configuration file. Cheers, Huub

One of the things I've always loved about the stock Diamond twin is the blue paint. It may be silly, but the paint, to me at least, is quite nice. I missed having a blue option with the COWS release, so I downloaded the paintkit and saw what a mess it was. So I just opened the paint files in Gimp and ran the Hue slider just about all the way to the left on all the albedo files that contained red paint and then exported back into a new texture folder copied from the red one. Once I added a new fltsim.x section to the cfg and rescanned the layout.json, I had myself a nice DA42XI with the old familiar blue!

"Set nose wheel steering to limit" is the command I use, I assigned a key combo to it and it works great for me. You have to check your deflection though, on high steering it goes to 90° and just understeers at some point, more than half way of steering input can't really be used while not in almost standstill. You should be able to see the difference in wheel deflection though in external view.

I'm a bit distracted by real life just now, when I get a chance I'll download the parts and see what I can do. Apologies for the delay. The fix file should be available now. It's not one I've ever had, so can't help with the installer.

OFF Winco, Firestorm, One Eye V VIN!

In regard to this question and all the others on CWDT uploads. We only currently have the "installer" for the CWDT Hellcat. The others are not being found. This makes the uploads sometimes "problematic". I'm still trying to find these installers and when (if) I do I'll upload them in place of the multiple installs. Hope "might?" be on the way. :dizzy:
