Beaver shows wrong OAT
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

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
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.

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
Is there hope for a patch to make the OAT Gauge work correctly?

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
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.

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
If you’re using AS, the OAT gauge won’t work properly. Sorry.

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
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.

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
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.

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
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.

Re: Beaver shows wrong OAT
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.
