Hi,
I bought this DC-3 last week and cant get the mixtures to move any more than from Closed to Auto Lean. I am using a PFC throttle. The levers all work fine in every other aeroplane I have in my collection including the stock machines. Also the Flap switch is not recognised either for some strange reason. I tried to take it for a test flight but after a while the engines overheated and failed in two trails of smoke !

Hi  The aircraft uses two modes for the mixtures; auto rich and auto lean. Switching between these modes is done by clicking the click zone on the quadrant. Visit the manual page and scroll down a bit. You will find it along with a screenshot: www.vskylabs.com/2017/06/vskylabs-dc-3-c-47-flying-lab-manual.html?m=1Please let me know if you need further assistance |

Ok - I see what you mean. Is there any way to get the mixtures to work directly from my PFC quadrant ?  |

So the only way to fly this DC3 is either by using the mouse or the keyboard for throttle, prop and mixture.
certainly it does not work with Precision Flight Controls throttle quadrant.
What a shame - I was looking forward to a realistic flying experience.
Ive now gone back to the Aeroworx DC-3 - thanks anyway.

Alastair Hi Alastair, Real DC-3/C-47 has an auto-lean mixture state which is a fixed position setting of the mixture levers, that keeps engine to run at optimum mixture. Using the auto lean mode in the VSKYLABS DC-3/C-47 will allow you to fly the aircraft, when needed, in this mode. If you don't want/able to use the mouse or the VR touch controller... Simply assign a button/key to toggle this dataref:
sim/aircraft/overflow/acf_drive_by_wire
to a value of '0' (zero). You can do this with dataref editor, xjoymap, a lua script etc... to map a joystick/hardware button to the dataref and cycle the values from 1 to 0. '1' would be auto lean while '0' would be auto rich, which is practically manual operation of the mixture (to its extremes). Hope that this information would be helpful for you. |
