Has anyone used LINDA with this aircraft?

PA-23 Aztec F mixture control

Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:04:36 +0000

I purchased the Alabeo PA-23 Aztec 250 - F last night, and noticed after the aircraft is loaded in FSX-SE the engines would die. Both mixture control handles would return to cut-off position. I tried to recalibrate the controls through FSX, but still nothing. Any solutions? Oh I also reached out to Alabeo support. Nothing yet.

Is the Aztec P3DV5 compatible?

Thu, 25 Jun 2020 17:47:13 +0000

Many weeks ago, it seems, there was an announcement from Alabeo/Carenado that all their planes were P3DV5 ready, so I went off and downloaded the new installers. The Shrike and the PA23 Aztec both display the transparent VC.

Anyone have these working in V5? Or ideas? The Navajo, Chieftain, and many others from these folks are fine.

Thank you and cheers,

No skin texture

All I get when I download the Aztec is a few interior details; no external A/C skin.

ADI not working

Wed, 07 Aug 2019 17:07:48 +0000

Can't figure out why my Attitude and directional indicator will not work. Both flags are present in the window indicating no power. Any idea for a fix for this problem?

Thanks.

Light Entries in the cfg

Sun, 30 Dec 2018 09:08:31 +0000

I've been messing about with the lights on the beautiful Alabeo Aztec, trying to get the nosewheel light to go off after the gear is retracted. I got it all to work by deleting all of the light entries. What's going on? Where is the light data stored, if not in the cfg? I would like to swap the nose wheel light for a brighter shockeave light, but since I can't see any lines of code here or in the panel.cfg, I don't really know what to do. Maybe I should call it quits and enjoy my little victory! :)

Engine Quits - Lose Hydraulic Power

Thu, 12 Apr 2018 22:37:36 +0000

When I lose an engine, or practic engine out operations, the hydraulic pump quits (as it should) and neither the flaps nor the gear will extend. THat is OK. BUt, does the manual gear lever work? ! I've tried pumping this repeatedly but nothing seems to happen and I always have to conduct a bellylanding. Is the manual lever pump modelled at all???

CHT Tied

Mon, 30 Oct 2017 22:10:16 +0000

Have found another bug for this amazing plane. The FDE it's closest to the real aztec, the textures are beautiful,

The bug that I found is that the CHT temperature it's tied to the Left engine. Start the left engine and both CHT raises, the right engine don't have CHT lecture if start this engine. Only the Left, have both temperatures.

Can someone one take a look to this? I don't know if this bug have already submitted to Alabeo people.

Regards

Stormscope

Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:06:05 +0000

Contacted Alabeo regarding the Stormscope not appearing to actually do anything in P3D V3. Tried it in a major thunderstorm, with and without ASN, what gives? I was told it works for us, check ADMIN rights etc, etc. etc. Replied I have allready done that and what system did you test with or better yet please post a video on the web site of it working.

Their reply was well it does works for us in FSX and P3D but the problem is with V3. How about just stating it does not work in your version in the first place? It took four replies to get them to say it is a V3 problem.

In the meantime I will put an inop sticker on the gauge.

Piper Aztec Question

Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:23:08 +0000

Hi,

Just bought the Piper Aztec and I love it! :)

I'm sure this question has been asked but since I've only bought the plane yesterday, I was wondering it anyone knows whether the Piper Aztec is pressurized or does one need to bring oxygen bottles on board?

Thanks,

P3Dv4 niggles, CMeteo

Thu, 20 Jul 2017 06:36:06 +0000

Installed the new compatible version into P3DV4, works well (so far) but throws up quite a few contenterrors :(

Some sloppy changes to the CFG files, missing INOP images in the gauges, bad code in the GPS XML and most seriously

Quote

Error loading ".\CMeteoXml.dll." in "C:\Users\keith\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\DLL.xml."

Looks like it installed both 32 and 64 bit versions of CMeteo but put the wrong one into dll.xml

I've edited dll.xml to use the 64bit version, will see what that does.

I know cmeteo drives the weather radar, does it do anything else?
Seem to remember it has a validation role too...

Since installing the Aztec I've had an instance of the sim time slipping forward 6 hours, don't know if its related...

Cheers

For The Shockwave 3D Lights Lovers

Sat, 05 Mar 2016 23:22:52 +0000

For anyone besides myself that's a huge fan of Shockwave's 3D Redux Lights here are the coordinates for them. I've only included the landing and strobe position lights. The rotating beacon as well as nav lights, in my opinion, aren't too bad. The strobe lights however were weak at best. I've already contacted Alabeo and notified them that there is a bug with the taxi light since it only works dependently of the landing lights which is incorrect. Hopefully they'll have a fix for this in an upcoming patch. As always, make sure you back up your original just in case you want to go back to it. I've attached two screenshots. One over Darrington at night and the other departing Rwy 33 at Harvey.

[LIGHTS]

//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing

light.0 = 10, -6.6, 0.00, 2.70, fx_vclightpa23RED

light.1 = 2, -7.38, -19.40, 0.960, Fx_shockwave_strobe

light.2 = 2, -7.40, 19.40, 0.960, Fx_shockwave_strobe

light.3 = 5, -5.0, -18.75, 0.65, fx_Shockwave_landing_light // Shockwave light

light.4 = 5, -5.0, 18.75, 0.65, fx_Shockwave_landing_light // Shockwave light

Great Aircraft! Help With Crossfeed?

Sun, 13 Mar 2016 18:08:20 +0000

I'm having lots of fun with this aircraft.

I've been able to assign feathering to the stops on my twin Saitek proplevers, and they work

I've installed Ray's fabulous black cockpit texture (so it matches my homebuild cockpit).

I've added some nice switch sounds from the AVSIM library (Cockpitsounds).

And because the Aztec engine sounds, although nice, are a little bit lacking in bass, they don't work well with my Buttkicker vibration device, and so (sacrillege, probably) I've swapped over the bassier engine sounds from the Milviz Baron B55.

In all I'm powering around the Caribbean with this beauty and I just don't want to fly anything else.

One question, though, trying both native FSX control assignments and FSUIPC,I cannot get any button or keyboard switch to assign for the crossfeed controls. I'm really struggling with it, which is a shame, beecause I can cut an engine, feather a prrop and practice all kinds of single-engined manoeuvres, but without a crossfeed assignment I'm a bit stuck. (As I said I have a home cockpit build and don't like to use the VC if at all possible).

Any help appreciated!

Power Check

Fri, 04 Mar 2016 07:58:08 +0000

Lovely aircraft, my favourite at the moment, certainly knocking my Realair Duke and Milviz Baron off their top spot.

I was conducting a power check last night, though, and noticed that when I pulled the prop levers back, the manifold pressure and the rpm did not budge. Is this right? I should see some sort of drop, shouldn't I?

Inserting gauges as a pop up

Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:19:01 +0000

I am trying to insert some default Baron gauges as a pop ups, eg windows 03, 04 in the panel.cfg file. All my other aircraft are fine, but for some reason they do not show up in the Aztec.

Eg, I am trying to put the autopilot, HSI and Altimiter in as:

[Window04]

BACKGROUND_COLOR=2,2,2

size_mm=250,47

window_size_ratio=1.800

windowsize_ratio=1.800

position=6

visible=0

zorder=5

ident=

alpha_blend=0.9

type=special

gauge00=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio AP, 0, 0

gauge01=Nav_GPS!Nav_GPS, 0, 0, 70, 47

gauge02=heading_Bug!heading_Bug, 0, 0, 70, 47

gauge03=Beech_Baron!Horizontal Situation Indicator, 160,5,40,40

gauge04=Beech_Baron!Altimeter, 205, 05, 40,40

Anyone else have the same problem or know what the problem is.

Tks

3 Point Landing

Mon, 07 Mar 2016 15:04:44 +0000

I like this aircraft, but I have noticed in replays of my landings, I'm touching down on all 3 gear at the same time. This happens even at 1/2 flap settings and just above stall speed. Is this normal for the Aztec? It could just be me, but the landings are usually very smooth and no bounce, like you would get in a real aircraft if you tried to touch down too fast.

Does the RXP integration work on this ac ?

On a previous ac this was claimed but did not work.

Done a couple of flights, ils approach, Autopilot worked fine, good taxing, all working well, just minor point , can't switch on the stormscope wx-11. The power button doesn't appear to work in p3d v3.1. other than that enjoying it very much.

Ok solved, the mouse wheel turns it on.
