Oof, that one will be a challenge … that lake is so small :shock: !


It's actually quite big (well, I hope we have the same scenery). The thing to watch out for is that the first lake (reservoir) lac d'Emosson (at least in my scenery) has slopes (!) which must be a terrain error, the trick is to fly over these and land further into the lake

not in the c172p and not IRL... when the multiple landing gear types were added to the c172p, you could do that but they were fixed later so you have to select the right one at takeoff just like you do IRL...

anyway, it was just a suggestion in case the craft didn't allow such switching of gear while in flight... if the craft you choose does allow such, ok i guess...

Well, in fact the problem was not the aircraft not allowing to switch the gear in-flight, but rather the aircraft forcing you to do so, because (at least that's the case with the Cessna 208B) when you try to land on concrete with the floats on, it just tips over :wink: !

right, because they are floats... amphibious has wheels in the floats...

and my comment about the craft allowing switching or not meant that the craft's code ignores the config switching option unless the craft is on the ground and stopped... the c172p requires this for you to change the engine between the two it has available (160HP and 180HP) and between the 6 landing gear options it offers...

it sounds like the 208B needs some more love and attention ;)

C208B works but keep in mind to start on wheels and then change to amphibious once airborne for the water landings. For the one runway landing use the menu to change the configuration to gear only - as I said before, a little irregular but it will prevent you from a face plant trying to land with amphibious with gear down.

I think I will bring the C208B myself too now - the extra power is good for the climbs. Those bringing the C172 it will be a little slower.

In case i can’t make it - can please someone join with the c182s and help volador and woodstock reproduce the black/bright plane issue?
It should only take a couple of minutes.
What we need to find out if it occurs only on specific graphics/shader settings and if so, which.

That would help me alot since i wasn’t able to reproduce it here unfortunately…

Edit: if it happens, please also look at the property „ /fdm/jsbsim/ice/graphic“ what is there?

And please open the nasal console and execute:
Code: Select all
setprop("/fdm/jsbsim/ice/graphic", 1);

And also change the value from 1 to 0.
