DHC-3 Otter Bugs - Fixes Available?
Hi;
I purchased the DHC-3 Otter on the Orbx site March 28, 2020. I have been flying the C310 Redux for a few years so I was eagerly anticipating the opportunity to fly another one of your products. Given the model appears to have been built in 2017 it would seem there should be fixes for the following deficiencies:
1. The amphibian version will not move on water when the brakes are applied.
2. The contact points of the wheels on the amphibian appear a bit high so the model floats slightly in the air. I have not checked if this is the case everywhere.
3. The Milviz default 2D 530/430 radios do not have proper functionality, with many of the buttons inoperative and the altitude setting defaulting to 40,000 feet and not adjusting properly. On the C310 I am able to drag the radios to my second screen and use all the buttons there instead of having to zoom in on a tiny virtual panel to make radio adjustments.
4. The course knob on the DG does not appear to work. The heading bug can be moved left and right but the centre click does not move the bug to the top.
Is there an more recent version that addresses these problems and anything I may not have discovered yet?
Regards,
Mike G.
PS: Is it because I did not purchase the product at Milviz that I couyld not post this to a DHC-3 Forum, or has one not been established, like the C310 Redux?
