proplem with new download of spitfire

Post by kvoller »

HI.
Have most A2A aircraft, and have downloaded the above spitfire.
Everything seems to work ok except for the 3 blade prob. change in the hanger.
has loaded with wooden two bladed, but as said will not load three blade, flash on then off rapidly.
but still ends up with two blade on all variance. on the Mk1a,b will load the option canopy, but not prop.
Have tried re downloading and loading again bit no difference. hve applied the Fix in December 17, still no joy.
Can you assist.

Regards
Keith Voller

Hello Keith and welcome to the forums,

Did you just get the base Spitfire without Accu-sim for the Spitfire?

thanks,

Hi Lewis
Thanks for posting reply. I thought I had, I had assumed that it happened automatically, especially as in the hanger on the mk1a,b you can change the canopy, but the prop just flashes, on the aircraft and off again. Same sounds as the other A2A aircraft, C182, Cherokee etc. But just don’t alter.

Hope that I have made it clear,

Regards

Keith

G'day Mate,

Go to
http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtop ... 78&t=23593
Scroll down to "Misc" and download the file for changing the airscrew on non accusim Spitfire,

regards

HI Darryl,

Just tried that but, file there already, and its the latest so though better leave it as was. I was under the impression that this was with Acusim, it behaves like other A2A aircraft I have and could, change the canopy, ok but not the prop.

Ok Keith,

Next thing to try then is to delete the Spitfire .dat files under C:documents/A2A/Spitfire or similar, as it could be a corrupted dat file. You don't need to delete or uninstall the whole spitfire under programs/features in windows, just those documents directory dat files.

Sorry, I am away from my sim computer at the moment and can't read off the exact location...but someone else will no doubt guide you if you can't find them...bedtime here!

regards

Hi Darryl
Will give it a go. Strange, flying just a while ago and landed in EGFE. The sim was paused, and I went into the hanger, and thought I would have another shot. Thought I was in luck, the prop changed to the three Bladed and it fitted! When however I unpaused the sim the prop went back to 2 blades.

Any way will give replacement a go

Thanks

Keith

Hello Keith,

you will first want to confirm if you have the Accu-sim package for the Spitfire or just the base Spitfire. You mention you thought you had but havnt confirmed this.

Whats your order number on the A2A Store?

Hi Darryl

I thought I had, was not given any options at the time.

The download was through Fspilotshop Order Number: 1033482

Not sure if this helps

Sorry Lewis thought you was Darryl

I just looked on Fspilotshop and found A2A - Accusim for the Wings of Power 3 Spitfire I take it that I need to download this if everything is to work.

Strange the otherA2A aircrafts I have, had it included. And in may ways the spitfire WOP 3 spit. Behaved like it except the replaceable prop. Not working. Anyway will cost me $24 to find out

Regards

Keith

The older A2A aircraft did not include Accusim as part of a single package. That was a feature they introduced later as an add-on.

Yes just found that out the download fixed everything, and realised that it now DOES act like a A2A aircraft, most impressive.

Thank you all for your help.

Hey Keith,

worth the Accu-sim package for the Spitfire if you want the full real experience.
