Nearly. I'll publish when complete. The only missing switch was the Mag switch, that looks to have been changed to use increase / decrease in v1.2 so this should easily be achieved.

Thanks Sol. That should be simple enough to add.

It currently saves the oil and battery state but not the fuel state.

All assignments work, except Magneto. I want to be able to simulate the turning of the key right and left via Function keys and works for most aircraft in my hangar. F4 will engage starter at full right postion. In FSUIPC I have my assignments set as follows: [Keys.C152] 45=112,8,66242,0 -{F1: Press=TOGGLE_MASTER_ALTERNATOR }- 47=113,8,66241,0 -{F2: Press=TOGGLE_MASTER_BATTERY }- 51=114,8,65634,0 -{F3: Press=MAGNETO_DECR }- 53=115,8,65635,0 -{F4: Press=MAGNETO_INCR }- 55=116,8,65750,0 -{F5: Press=PANEL_LIGHTS_TOGGLE }- 57=117,8,65858,0 -{F6: Press=PITOT_HEAT_TOGGLE }- 59=118,8,66379,0 -{F7: Press=TOGGLE_NAV_LIGHTS }- 61=119,8,65560,0 -{F8: Press=STROBES_TOGGLE }- 63=120,8,66239,0 -{F9: Press=TOGGLE_BEACON_LIGHTS }- 65=121,8,66240,0 -{F10: Press=TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS }- 67=122,8,65751,0 -{F11: Press=LANDING_LIGHTS_TOGGLE }- |

What is the name of the assignment that you are attempting to use to control the magnetos? The magneto selector/ignition is using custom-code but we might be able to accommodate the use of a standard control assignment.

Really loving the C152 thus far. But I agree with others, that the aircraft response with flaps down is a little off to say the least. Please update the FDE.
Thank you! EDIT: Nevermind, hitting the badge hides yoke....

+1 to this - they look so classy with wheel pants. And I'd pay extra for a float version, and also an Aerobat version, for flying "The Snake". |

Yes, exactly ! Panel is sort of blinking permanently. P3D4.2. , and also at daytime. I tried to turn dynamics reflections to off, but that doesn't have influence. Mike |

Hi Mike,
Do you mean that the strobe lights are causing a reflection on the instrument panel? If so, which simulator are you using and does it only occur in low light conditions? Thanks Martyn

First of all, thanks for the well done 152. Lovely memories to recreate the first solo 20 years ago. Just need to create an FFB profile for my Brunner Yoke (using a 172 profile right now), then it should feel like yesterday :)
I agree with the initial comments regarding Flaps and throttle/pitch relationship, could be improved. Now, one thing that really disturbs : The reflection of the Strobes in the panel. Nerves pretty quickly. Can't remember having noticed it that much or noticed it at all in the real plane. Is there any way to get rid of that, or could you make that configurable ? Mike |

First off - excellent plane! Based on my brief first impressions it's definitely worth the price of admission. I really look forward to playing around with it some more. As far as suggestions for future upgrades - perhaps a model with wheel pants?
I agree with detheridge02's point in particular regarding the 'ballooning' effect when lowering the flaps. I did all my initial RL training in 150/152s, although it's been about 25 years since I've last flown one. That does not qualify me as an expert by any means, yet I have strong recollections of a marked nose-up pitching when the first 10-20 degrees of flaps were initially lowered. This plane in FSX seems to exhibit the opposite tendency, with the nose dropping upon initial flap extension. Not a deal-breaker...but just wanted to chime in... Thanks, and keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing what other GA creations the Just Flight team has in the works... |

Sounds good. These study sims are all way and good, but they don't half run badly.
O the landing lights work if Dynamic Lighting is disabled in sim ? |

You should see comparable, if not better performance with the C152 than the PA28s.
We should have a demo available sometime next week.
Thanks Martyn

I had no issues with performance at all, everything was fluid with no stutters at any point.

Well it's a buy, from me. The Piper 3 stays in the hangar as I NEED lighting in the day, and just don't like the FS9-esque red glow I'm afraid. OCD I guess.
And I need a nice n easy GA for sightseeing. May I assume framerate performance is not far off default aircraft in P3D ? |

Compared to the latest *AWESOME* piper series from JF, what is the performance like with this 152? The *only* Just Flight GA plane I ever had issues with in terms of frame-rates was the TB-10/TB-20...
