    Hi Daniel!

    if your ever in the neighborhood your more then Welkom to try it out !
    ive tried to build it as close to (with some sentimental exceptions and lack of parts) a dove as I can but tips on the flight model are more than welkom and if you know a place to get spare parts please say so.

    If you want to put pics etc on your Facebook go ahead, if you need stuff let me know Altough it will be after the 5th of January because I'm in the middle of a conversion course (work)

    best Regards ,
    Remco

    Re: New member building a Dehavilland Dove.



    Almost 9 months on and still having some instability issues....

    I tried to solve them by adding a second computer to run the instruments and instructor station software:





    But this only fixed some issues.... the ntll.dll error still existed , until i de-rated the processor speed from 4.6 to 4.3 ghz eventhough the system was stable with processor/memory testing. That fixed most of my problems and the system is stable enough now.

    The next thing i did this summer was adding map cases:




    And also the rudder locking mechanism (red bar on the LH side)

    We have had some utility lights laying around for years and even-though i'm missing the original brackets i decided it was time to install them:












    A little clip of what it looks like at night:





    And some plackards that were laying around have been put on the panel to see if the location is ok for further permanent fixing:



    A lot more work needs to be done on the side panel location, whiskey compass, converting everything to prepar 3d etc etc etc.....

    Re: New member building a Dehavilland Dove.

    Hello!

    its been a while and some things have changed,

    first of of all the steering feel has been improved a bit more , not as good as I want but workable.

    the big thing I've been trying to do is convert everything to p3d v2.4 , 2.5 in a few weeks .

    First I upgade my p3d to a bigger ssd drive.

    ive been having a lot of issues so far , also stability issues. I thought it was due to a relative old gtx 680 . After upgrading to a 4gb gtx 980 I must say I'm very happy with the visual , it's a big improvement .

    stability issues not gone though . After having boot errors I changed my memory , it was 2133 MHz memory but I clould only run it at 1866 in the end.


    luckely I could change it under warranty. The system is stable now!

    further tweaking required though.....

    Also some more changes to some panels and bodywork coming up..
