Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

Hi, I've edited my system and software details below as for some reason they did not enter fully before. Hope someone can help me now! Thanks.

Hi, This plane is very nice and flyable but despite reinstalling several times I have three problems:-
No interior cabin apart from doors and outlines of windows etc (Cockpit is fine).
MVAMS is there and the various things on it can be mouse clicked but when I click on ' save defaults' nothing happens.
Also, I have the True Light problem but I see that you are aware of that.
Hope you can help. Thanks, Chris

Hey Chris, I'm an end user not with Milviz. I had the same issues as you've mentioned.

The installer does nothing visual when you click Save Defaults. Just close it when your done and the settings you saved will appear next time you open your aircraft.

There is no cabin view from inside the aircraft. The interior view of the cabin is from the outside. When you have the cabin doors open Shift +E + 1-4 (3 & 4 open the side doors) you'll see the load change inside of the cabin & it's associated weight added or subtracted in payload select section as well (access from the Add-On/DHC-3 menu inside your sim).

I'd suggest you read the forum on the Ture Light fix. The fix is as easy as removing some wayward files from your aircrafts true light folder. Simple, easy, fix.
It's a great aircraft, enjoy. I hope this helps solve the issues your having with this bird.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for that information. I did indeed think that MVAMS was not working because I expected the MVAMS screen to dissapear when I clicked 'Save Defaults'. I only ever attempted to look at the cabin interior by scrolling backwards from the cockpit . Never thought of looking for inside changes from the outside view!
I've had a few 'planes without cabin interiors before. However with the Turbo Otter I was sure I was missing the cabin because the Milviz website says 'the 'plane features an intricately modelled. true to life interior....' Thanks for clarifying the situation. Thought it was strange that a few textures were missing !
I've sorted the True Light problem thanks, so everything is now as it should be.

As you say it is a great 'plane and well modelled too. A few years back I flew on a Harbour Air from Vancouver to Victoria so it's nice to relive the experience even if can't sit in the cabin!

Thanks again - much appreciated.
Chris.

Oh dear - I will update our webpage
