Beaver shows wrong OAT

Post by helbel » Tue Jan 16, 2018 5:11 pm

Hallol,
I have P3d v4 and ASp4. For example metar say 4 Grad Celsius , than in ASP4 and in my GTN 750 it shows exatly this. In the Beaver overhead it it show 9 Grad Celsius. Everytime it show the wrong temperature. Evertime to high.
Is it a bug?
Greetings Harald

It appears to be. It is usually so far out that I just consider it decoration rather than a working gauge.

Thanks for answer,
the Beaver is a great plane, I love it to fly. But I´m a "real-flyer" and the gauges must be working right for me. If this done, my beaver is number one in my airpark. :D :D
Greetings Harald.

Is there hope for a patch to make the OAT Gauge work correctly?

Any further updates on this? An accurate temp gauge is a bit important when operating in the colder regions of the planet.

Conversely, if anyone has swapped the OAT with another stock gauge, feel free to let us know.

If you’re using AS, the OAT gauge won’t work properly. Sorry.

Well we can see that. Is it in the pipeline to get fixed? Cause I mean, that's a completely unique problem... OAT gauges in everything from stock planes to other expensive custom payware work just fine with AS. And it is, as pointed out, a rather important bit of information to operate this plane in much of its native habitat. It's not exactly eye candy.

No, I’m not using Actively Sky. Usually it’s REX weather but even with default FSX weather, it’s inaccurate.

Quite honestly, it’s unacceptable to have this issue in an expensive payware model. An inaccurate OAT is on the same level as a faulty ASI or broken altimeter. Does it work on the Otter? If so, give us Beaver owners that coding.

The problem has been located. I sent out the solution to the beaver and Otter and C310 devs not long ago. A fix is in the works. This slipped under the radar because of the conditions usually required when developing flight models and such.

Thanks for investigate and finding the root cause (and just not saying "sorry, it will not work...") :)

I don't know what the respective developers have done. I only told them what the solution was. Didn't implement it myself as I am tied up elsewhere in the team.
