C185F SKYWAGON for FSX

Hi, I downloaded a paint that I really like but it is for the standard wheel version only. I have converted it to the tundra tire version and it all looks great except that the paint was for one of the planes with the window in the lower door and the tundra version doesn't have that option. I now have a great paint job but I have a black square where the above mentioned window is supposed to be. I don't own the standard tire version only the bush version. Is there any way to fix this? Mark

I know about "shift+enter", but that's not exactly what I am seeking. What I am looking for is a view similar to the 337? When flying the 185, it just seems, to me, that the whole "instrument panel/firewall" is too intrusive. Too much "airplane", and not enough scenery! Help appreciated!

I was looking in the sound files in the 185 and came across a file called falsestart I was not aware that you could actually get a false start on the 185 does anyone know what those parameters are to get a false start? thanks

All versions of my C185F in FSX have a problem of bleeding through the panel when any of the lights are turned on. Anyone else have this prob? Any answers?

Hi I'm get a message when selecting the C-185 of "Failed to startup the flight model". Any ideas, or do I simply reinstall it? Cheers Mike

Hi has anyone gotten the RXP430 into the VC of the 185 bush verison? thanks Lee

This is certainly more a general question for all kind of seaplanes that do not have a reverser:Is it possible to use any tweak or trick to "pushback" (or should I say "row-back") the aircraft when it is on floats?I bothers me that one can not go right to the shore line, pick up the passengers and than start off again.Any chance to use the "UPPERCASE+P" trick when this aircraft is on floats?

Is there a key command or a .cfg mod I can use to control the vertical speed ? I tried using the trim wheel. Thanks Jack

Hi, is there somewhere a FSX Paint Kit or simple white Textures for the Carenado 185 Bush ? I only have the 185 Bush Version, not the normal Version. Thanks, Achim

anyone done a newer more modern a/p in the C185 that would care to share the moded panel cfg?

I see no beacon light on this aircraft, but I do see a reflection against the rear of the fuselage as if there was a beacon light hitting it. Any idea why?

Been working on my latest repaint project for Era Alaska, and just finished the C185F that Jim Tweto fly so much.

There was a modification on how to add 60 degree of flaps to the C185Is there any real world C185's with this modification?thanksBrian S

...yes it cranks, blades a rotating a bit but this is it, (No, it's not fuel selector issue) ..Magnetos, Batteries, all seems to be okay, but yet I can't start this puppy .....Any ideas ???????Tnx&May the next year keep all Simmers happy and safe :) Yair

Hi,Could some one help me, if this switch works at all, how to get it to work.I prepare a flight plan which and once loaded it appears in my GPS screen, but prefere not to use the GPS (imagine it failed to work!). I would like to use instead the CDI to follow the GPS flight path as there are no VOR stations available where I'm flying. I flick the switch but nothing happens; and this situation is particular to this aeroplane as it seem to work on other crafts.Thank you for your help

This Service Pack is a cumulative pack which solves all the bugs since the release of the Skywagon and also adds a tail wheel lock feature.Feature added: Tail wheel lock, differential brake control.Errors fixed:- Only 2 blades visible of the propeller from inside the VC when flying 3 blades prop aircraft.- Adds 2 more points to the flaps. Now it has 10

This one is done on request for sky 6. This yellow and red livery is made from a photo showing only a part of the aircraft. Additional photos have been hard to get (I don't even know the ID of this aircraft). Well, based on what I was able to find out (from similar photos), I finished the livery. I also applied an ID which belongs to an other Skywagon. And finally, she's got a logo on the tail. The N8209U - made for the bush! :( ....and yes. the livery will soon be uploaded to the AVSIM Library(More shots in the screenshot section)

Something else I have been working.Needs to be reviewed for errors.Russ

Hey guys. I've got an issue where during takeoff roll in the skywagon, before I rotate, my plane seems to forward slip while still on the ground. It happens every time, even without wind. Now, I understand p-factor torque, but as you apply right rudder to counter act it, shouldn't the plane face the direction it is rolling? What happens is that, after applying right rudder and compensating for the leftward drift, and finally tracking straight down the runway, my nose is pointing decidedly to the right. Another words, I'm tracking 12 o'clock but my nose is pointing to 2 o'clock. Seems to me I'd shred my tires every other takeoff if this was RL. I've tried locked tailwheel …

With the collaboration of Glenn Davy and Bernt Stolle, we have released this patch which improves the behavior of the aircraft replacing the aircraft.cfg file. (the original aircraft.cfg file is backed up and called "aircraftold.cfg" in case you want to undone the changes)Many, many thanks to them!!!You can get this patch from HERECarenado

Hello,The tires of my C185f looks flat. How can I solve this problem?Greetings,Addy

Hi gents,Captain Sim C-130 is missing several crucial exterior lights. I have the following Shockwave light assignment for aircraft cfg. file but I don't know what and where the Panel entry should go. Can you help me?[lights] // Navigation light.0 = 3, 0.76, -66.80, -1.00, cs130_navred light.1 = 3, 0.77, 66.80, -1.00, cs130_navgre light.2 = 3, -58.25, 0, -2.10, cs130_nav_whi_double light.3 = 3, 11.75, 0, -15.55, fx_navwhi light.4 = 7, 0.76, -66.80, -1.00, cs130_nav_red_flash light.5 = 7, 0.77, 66.80, -1.00, cs130_nav_gre_flash light.6 = 7, -58.25, 0, -2.10, cs130_nav_whi_flash_double light.7 = 7, 11.75, 0, -15.55, cs130_nav_whi_flash // Anti_Collision light.8 = 1, 23.24…

Is there away to set the Control Windows Settings for the C185F Tundra so that the following are activated when you load the aircraft: Wheel Chocks Pitot Cover Plane Sights Prop TieDown ropes Cargo Pod Thanks in advance,

I have had the C185 installed for a few days and I have run into something strange. With everything set for start up (as far as I know) the engine will crank, however it will never catch. I can go to another AC and start it and then change back to the C185 running and the engine will continue to run. I can then shutdown and the engine will re-start normally. Even stranger, I can then exit FSX and restart and go to the C185F and it will start as it should. Yes the gas is turned on and the master switch is turned on and the mixture is rich. Though not in the C185, I have a bunch of real time in Cessna AC but it has been a while. Even if it may embarrass me, please point o…

First of all I have the FSX 206, FSX172 Float and the FSX185 Bush Carenado aircraft and fly the the paint off of them. After traveling through BC Canada and Alaska last summer the one thing that stuck out, with regard to small aircraft ( both private and commercial ) were the Anti-Collision alternating flashing white lights on the front of the wings. We kept running into different Fleets of C208b's using these lights, even Tweto's (" Flying Wild Alaska") C185 Bush Tundra has both Anti-Collision and Strobe lights installed. Now that the lights, and switch's are modeled into the FSX aircraft we laymen in the field have no options of installing these obvious popular light ch…
