...it seems to REALLY drag my framerates down, however. Nice model though-- tough bugger to slow down!

Oh well....too late. Only had a chance of one short flight, but need to go back for a much longer session. Its not really my cup of tea, but as have other Iris aeroplanes in my hangar and love Pilatus designs, thought would give it a go. Need to have a few more hours before I decide if its going towards the front or back of my hangar.

Only thing that I noticed was that in the VC, the wording of the placards on the sides of the cockpit were very blurred and difficult to read.

Ah what the heck Dave, i'll buy in. Your C27J is the responsible reason for buying the PC21

Certain gauge I like in the pit

and I need a partner for the Iris C27J and Piglets A29B.

Have you tried installing the performance gauges in the optimizers folder? That's been found to really help..

I think that was added to the manual.

**dvj** · March 7th, 2013, 18:14

- Is there a way to add the particle effect strobes from the original demo to the final models? I still have all the demo files and textures.
- Will you be adding the IRIS texture (black and red) from the demo file to future texture releases?

thx for a great model

....did the trick, David-- it's a joy to fly!

**Smudge** · March 7th, 2013, 18:37

DVJ,

You can try copying the lights section from the aircraft.cfg file in the demo and pasting it into the new aircraft.cfg file of the release version, but I can't guarentee it's results as it wasn't tested that way.

As for the black and red scheme, it won't be in the standard installer as it was for pre-order customers, but as you are one you should have received an e-mail with the download link for the textre addon. If you haven't let me know and I'll PM you the link.

Regards

David.

Ahh great, got the paint!!!

send me an email. SOH compresses images.

Just got it, sure is a sweet little turboprop aircraft. Without ever flown the real PC-21, the model really in my mind has the "fighter" type handling as Pilatus brags about in their ads.

Will we see RSAF and UAE textures for it?

**CG_1976** · March 8th, 2013, 10:46

Did I see right on the Iris Face Book a PC21 RCAF paint??

Hi - i agree. this is the first product i have bought for about 2 years that has made a differnce to my FPS. Fantasitic product otherwise!

CORRECTION - restarting FSX resolved my frame rate issue. Thanks IRis for a fantastic product.

**Christoph_T** · March 8th, 2013, 11:36

For me its a realy wonderful edition to my hangar.
I had purchased the pre-release model and I can say that this was no mistake in any way!!
For the next week I am in Switzerland. Hope to see one of these near Samedan/St Moritz. (Not very likely)
Looking forward to some more paints and lots of repaints of the community

VERY GOOD WORK

Greetings

Christoph

I can not set the radio frequency (ILS NAV, COM) in the Up-Front Control Panel.after entering a single frequency, for example ILS1, press LSK-3 does not work anymore.THe indication remain FREQ and i cannot insert any value.Same problem for NAV and COM setting.Any other had this problem?

**Smudge** · March 8th, 2013, 21:47

Works fine for me... Try the software reset button shown on the electrical panel. The manual explains the correct procedure in step by step actions on how to enter in a frequency on the UFC.

**Maury2008** · March 8th, 2013, 22:22

i try that and any other switch in the cockpit.I can only enter one frequencyt in one of the menu' then any thing i click has no effect, also the radio page in the cdu is blocked and does not accept any entry, so i can't use the radio.I read the procedure and and I think I do the right things.I hope you can help me solve this problem otherwise this addon for me is unusable

**JensOle** · March 8th, 2013, 22:28

I get the same problem from time to time; all the buttons in the VC stop working. As sudden as it happened it goes away and I can use the buttons. I have never seen this before on FS aircraft.

**Smudge** · March 8th, 2013, 22:58

I had it happen once during testing and figured my viewpoint had moved behind the seat causing the mouseclicks to become inoperable.. only ever happened once, and a reload of the plane fixed it up..never happened again.. weird..

**Maury2008** · March 8th, 2013, 23:03

My problem is not the point of view, only the cdu radio page and the LSK key for enter the radioi frequency in the up front control panel stop work.All other switch i the VC work well
