I have carried out a fresh download and install of the Vulcan and have also tried re-loading the aircraft once I am in X-Plane in VR, but the result is the same. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

My latest Log.txt file is attached for info.

Is it possible to active the 'Battery Isolation' switch on the 'AAPP' panel via a dataref command? I see when I hover over the switch it is listed as 'thranda/buttons/Button65' but when this command is activated nothing happends.

If I also write to "sim/cockpit/electrical/battery_on" nothing happens.

Thanks,

Mark

This is what it shows:

When I replace it with the XP11 v1.8 file and just add the additional BLEND GLASS in the header, it reverts back to:

Not sure if it's deprecated datarefs, but there's now no nav or com radios working. Although you can set the freqs, X-Plane doesn't read them, the instruments don't read them (e.g. there's no ILS or ADF etc) and the ATC window actually tells you the aircraft has no power.

The autopilot also doesn't seem to be working at all, although it powers up and engages.

Log attached from a vanilla XP with a fresh install of the aircraft. Seems to be some dataref and SASL issues?

My Mach trimmers aren't working. When approaching 0.9M, I'm getting the tuck. Reading the manual it says "mach trimmers are energiser by pulling the single ON/OFF button on the left console". It then goes on, "The blue lights are illuminated when the servos are extended". 

I can't find a "single ON/OFF switch, and the blue lights aren't coming on when they should be. 

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Just curious  

I noticed that the beam angle is significantly different on the pilot vs copilot - the copilot seems correct but the automation was using the pilots side and brought me extremely low on approach - well before the runway threshold.

I have reinstalled the aircraft and wiped the preferences file but still the same issue. Can any one advise on what might be the issue here?

Here's my early attempts at a landing at Cosford

First of all, I have to tell you all at Just Flight that the Vulcan model in X-plane is the best modelling I have EVER used in a flight sim.  And in VR, you can almost smell the inside of the cockpit!

I've just upgraded to version 1.8 for use in X-plane 11.50 but I seem to have lost the Side Menu Arrow in the VR view.  I'm probably doing something daft or maybe have forgotten how to get it visible.  Anyone got any bright ideas?

But we are here today to grumble about using it in VR, as I do. It's the teeny little hit zones on the switches. An example, and one of the main offenders, is the array of fuel switches between the seats. Having to grab/zap and pull those with a VR hand controller is hard work. It seems if we have switches thus

     S          S          S          S

then the hit zones provided are

     H          H          H          H

Surely, it would be nicer for us and not detract from the model in any way, if the hit zones for these tiddly little switches were more like

  HHHHHHH    HHHHHHH    HHHHHHHH   HHHHHHHH
  HHHSHHH    HHHSHHH    HHHHSHHH   HHHHSHHH
  HHHHHHH    HHHHHHH    HHHHHHHH   HHHHHHHH

It might stop me "cheating" by searching for datarefs to ping instead (which I do, but that's another post...).

Another slant to make it easier in a non-detracting way might be to make them toggle rather than grab-and-pull (is this possible?), so you only have to "zap" them to switch, as with the push-buttons.

The air switches on the far right are perhaps worse, but they're very close to each other and so perhaps not much can be done for them (apart from pinging datarefs...).

I think the floating led frequency display is an absolutely brilliant way of bridging the authenticity-workability gap. You get an award for that one! More stuff like that please.

Keep up the good work!!

(Any chance of the other V-force bombers, or maybe even a TSR2? We like it hard!!)

Thank you Just Flight for this outstanding bird

Wish you the best

Vlad

Thanks!

How do I pull them?

No, it happens when the sun is low. I've seen it with the sun at the front and the rear - suddenly, the sunshine shines through the plane and lights up the cockpit. See enclosed example - look at the highlights on the quad and the front of the seats, and how brightly lit up the whole thing is. It's usually dark and dingy at best!

I'm still chasing the missing ordnance problem that others have seen. I get this a lot - only see the bluesteel on a good day! Working to find a repeatable test case...

I can't get the engines to spool beyond about 10%. AS far as I can tell, I've followed the checklists as carefully as I can with one exception - they seem to say all engine air switches have to be off before hitting the rapid start button, but in that configuration they don't spool at all. With the air switches all open they'll spool to about 10% for a few seconds then wind down and stop. That happens on both the rapid start and one-by-one methods. 

On the middle of the main panel, my fuel pressure indicators are white (all pumps are on, with and without crossfeed etc) but the engine management(?) indicator between them is black. My apologies I forget what it's proper label is. I take it to mean that either the fuel pressure or engine management isn't working. 

I'd highly appreciate if someone had a detailed step by step startup procedure including which panel each function is on as I'm clearly missing something somewhere and I'd very much love to be able to start her up properly rather than giving in to frustration and loading her ready-started..! 

Many thanks in advance to someone with the patience to help an idiot out!

Ryan.

The sounds of the landing gears plays, yet the landing gear stays down.
