New Models for P3d V4.2

Unused files removed

I have installed the new v180301 , but I must say:
1. The fuelswitches in the 3d cockpit and 3d- pupup are now synchronised, but the warnlamps working only with the 2d-popup (lamps total dark, not yellow to the other lamps, and lit when change to auxilary tanks).
2. When I set the switch to the main tanks (blue or yellow) , fuel flow is every time from the auxilary tanks (when filled) . The same error is in v180205 and v 180220. That is not fixed, fluel flow is always wrong.
The fuelflow switches has NO function to change the fuelflow (main or auxilary).


Greetings Harald.

This is a default behavior in both FSX and 3D , the tanks always drain in sequence . If one sets the ext tanks to 0 in the fuel menu and set the fuel levers to these tanks the flow is arrested , if one sets the levers to main the ext drain first .

This is consistent with normal sim behavior .

When I fuel only the maintanks than all shows right and working fine. Must the lights for the auxilary are dark(not yellow or lit) when only use the main tanks?

Harald, first of all the proper fuel usage for the C310R is to use the tip tanks (aux) first, then switch to the main tanks. The yellow caution lights should only light up when the tip (aux) tanks are critically low. This is a signal to the pilot to switch very soon to the main tank(s).

Thank you for your answer. But what I see is that the yellow caution light (not the burning lit caution light) is dark (black) when you swith to the main tanks. In the older version 171202 this light was always normal yellow how the other lights (in main and aux ). Never black dark.

Ah, that is a different problem then. That means that the unlighted lens is not being displayed at all, which are <Visibility> issues in the model itself.

In the "Cessna 310r milviz" aircraft folder are 4 sub-folder for "models" . In the aircraft.cfg is used "model=1" for all aircrafts . Is this ok so?
Gr Harald

Model1 is the F1 version and if that's what you have selected in the MVAMS it's normal .

The download link has been updated with a revised installer that rectifies the fuel warning lights disappearing when fuel selector in the aux position , uninstall and install Please.

Thank you much, the yellow lights now working fine.
Another little grafik-bug is the DME.
In VC the small white line that indicated whether NAV1 or NAV2 is selected no longer is on top of the solid button, you cannot see which DME is showing: NAV1 or NAV2.
Another thing is the OAT temperature in the C310 (also in the Beaver) . It shows always another temp as in the weather programm (AS P3d4) .

I can confirm this, it was introduced by some earlier patch, see viewtopic.php?f=21&t=8906 for a screenshot.

The Download link has been updated to resolve the DME indicator knob interior issue , this was in the original release apparently and is a 2D gauge face mapped to the position.

Great, good service. Now in the c310 the OAT shows the same to ActiveSKY. Have you fixed this too?
Gr. Harald

No and we can't.
