Oil temperature and 3 more reports

1. At initial Otter load, oil temperature is below 10 deg C with OAT above 21. Could this be changed to ambient?
Or the best would be to give option in MVAMS to fill engine with warm oil for extreme weather scenarios.
Cylinder temp. seems to be equal to ambient together with mixture.
2. GEN. WARN. light has some different logic. All other lamps, once illuminated, cannot be dimmed by pressing them, except this single one. Maybe this is ok, if you could just confirm.
3. With tail wheel CB off, the green lamp goes off, but tail wheel still gets locked.
4. With cockpit door open, some blue area could be seen on the ground... It cannot be seen in any other view than left or right seat.

That is correct. Oil temp is always lower than ambient in a Cold & Dark situation, mostly in early morning, when temp is above 0 degrees Celsius.
The other way applies as well, in very cold weather oil temp in C&D is warmer than OAT. Even more if you left the cold cover extended.
2. GEN. WARN. light has some different logic. All other lamps, once illuminated, cannot be dimmed by pressing them, except this single one. Maybe this is ok, if you could just confirm.
It's OK. A false contact, nothing to worry about. Usual in these old birds to have issues like that.
3. With tail wheel CB off, the green lamp goes off, but tail wheel still gets locked.
Tail wheel won't castor free until ground speed is above 4-5 knots. That's the reason for having an electronic ground steering system
4. With cockpit door open, some blue area could be seen on the ground... It cannot be seen in any other view than left or right seat.

I cannot reproduce, sorry. Could you bring more details? Model (wheel/float/sky), SIM version (FSX/P3D), etc.
Thanks!

Its known issue but... it's simulator problem, not a model, Its a feature of Wide View Aspect. If You "turn off" it will be ok I suppose (with bigger FOV from pilot view its present). Its a side effect of wide monitors.

Ok, Thank you for your replies!
It does make sense for the oil, I got the logic.
To reproduce last issue (4) you need to zoom out to the maximum level. Anyway, seems nothing can be done here, but there is a workaround - it will disappear if you zoom in a little.

In the Cameras.CFG file, add
ClipMode=Minimum to the VC entry. This will eliminate this artifacting:
Code: Select all
[CameraDefinition.002]
Title = Virtual Cockpit
Guid = {C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078}
Description = This is the description of the virtual cockpit view.
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.7
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
HotKeySelect=1
ClipMode=Minimum

Yes, this setting works for the left seat. For the right seat I believe the respective camera needs to be also changed.
Anyway, this setting fixes this "problem".
Thank you.

You are most welcome. Yes, other interior (VC) camera views might require this same entry to be made.
