Milviz Beaver

[Dieter]

I think I have no access to Milviz forums before I buy the plane and register there, no?

That's correct, strange procedure.
Even after buying the aircraft you have to write an email  (to get registered) to
kat@milviiz
telling your
- Order-ID
and giving wanted username.

In my experience with Milvz there A/C look good, perform adequately, and in the past updated models were offered at no charge.  All good but customer relations have been/are a bit on the woeful side IMHO.  One A/C I have is there C-310 and it has been a source of high CPU useage since the first version (read FPS hog).
When, and if I ever get my HD problem solved I'll wait for a bit before jumping on new Beaver just to see how it pans out with simmers.

Hello,
I'm working on the RTMM paint for the Milviz Beaver.
Airplane is painted .... just needs some minor corrections.
I hoped being faster with the paintjob. But the paintkit is a 300MB photoshop file which keeps the HD in my laptop working and working. Each saving process of the files takes about 1 minute 

I have still to do the second float, the Tundra and ski wheels and the Interiours.
So, it will still need a few days till I have the final package ready.

I have attached a few WIP screenshots.....

Hello,

I have a problem with the amphibian version of the Milviz.
Whether it's on the water or on a runway, it's very hard to take off.
On small runways, most of the time I find myself in the trees or fields at the end of the runway because this "big heap of scrap" did not manage to take off in time.
How do you make so that it want to take off?
With the Aerosoft model, I had no worries.

Did you install latest version? MilViz did some update work on this aircraft.

try reducing the weight, i.e. fuel load and cargo/passengers. The fde may be too sensitive in this area.

[Handie]

Yes, I have the latest version and no passenger.

Lower the landing gear!        

(... just kidding.  )   

Hi Handie,
     It is a bit underpowered, in my opinion also.  What I do is throttle up while braking, no flaps.  Release brakes and roll out to takeoff speed.  Pump the flaps down after 40 knots to takeoff position and flare up before running out of runway.  Almost immediately pump flaps back down to climb flaps position to reduce drag.  Reduce climb rate to about 300 vsi and pick up speed.  I am able to take off this way with full tanks and on a grass strip.  I don't know the length of the strip.  Short takeoff and landing is a challenge.
     You could edit your aircraft.cfg file to slightly increase the power or torque (or both) of the engine.  I am trying to avoid that method though and take it "as is".

I use my own "mini panel" to fly (outside). I can't get the autopilot gauge or the fuel gauge for the beaver to work. I can't find those "inside" the Milviz software to put them into my mini panel. Anybody know where they hid them?

Hi, as i said to Handie this plane is'nt an aerosoft DHC2

Some ticks need before take off  : the trim to 2% on overhead
Mixture also .... and more ..

She makes me laughing i take off near her and the beaver go well . but she is a woman  with some technologies more as normality vs simply planes ......

Thank you Jeff, I will try

PS : Patou, a spanking for you 

[jeff3163]

Handie, what is your prop pitch set at?  Make sure that is around 100% for maximum power!     Back it off after climbout though, or you may stress the engine.
