Chris, thanks for the explanation! NC

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Chris, thanks for the explanation! NC
Milviz will not push out experimental 'fixes' until they have been fully vetted. It would not be fair to customers.
Thank you!

I noted the mod via the MV Forums on a visit there but have not tried it.
I would like to make a general observation about some so called mods in general with respect to controls and their responsiveness or not which is the result of some very good advice given by A2A (along with a video as proof of concept) that a lot of so called control issues users and customers experience, actually go back to the control sensitivity settings being used by them and most in FSX. In summary they recommend the sensitivity sliders for all the controls to full right and the null zones back to zero or nil. You can see the difference in the videos in the way the control surfaces move and respond to stick inputs.
Here is the link: http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=47744
My only observation is this - the advice is correct if the model, air file etc are well done (most of them are) and all my control issues or response problems have disappeared. This is not to say that some models may need a little tweak but for a variety of types, tail draggers, tricycle undercarriage, one or several engines, big and or heavy I now find thanks to A2A and this much unknown aspect of tuning the sim, I have few if any problems at all.

I I agree, A2A's advice is good about controller sensitivity and null zones. I've just started flying the VRS Superbug and they emphasize this as well. I tried resetting sensitivity to default out of curiosity and find it makes a big difference with the bug.
None of that helped in getting the Beaver's tail off the ground though... But this FDE does ;-).

Based solely on your posting, I've reinstalled the Beaver (my tail wheel is intact) and am heading out of Bowerman this morning... fingers x'ed!
Thanks for the heads up, I'm cautiously optimistic
. BTW, the clipping of the radio digits in the panel were not fixed, but there was a helpful post here (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/105880-MV-DHC-2-Beaver-released!/page5) at SOH that took care of that.

To clarify, this alternate FDE doesn't come via an update. It's available for download on the Milviz Beaver support forum, and consists of a .cfg file and a .air file which must be manually replaced. If you haven't done that, you don't have the new FDE.
You'll know when you do, it's extremely noticeable on takeoff and landing ;-).
