mutley 4,487 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just published is my review of the Milviz DHC-3 Otter. This is the big brother to the DHC-2 Beaver released last year. Does this model live up to the quality of its predecessor? Read on... Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Great review Joe, thanks for the in-depth look at this release. It does seem odd that Milviz would throw in a radio stack that not only has a visual problem but is also not supported anymore, go figure. As a side note I do think the aircraft owners should be ashamed they let their birds get so beat up looking, also would have been nice if one of them would have added an HSI.

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Nice review Joe. I am soo glad I waited for this Otter version. Haven't had much chance to fly it with RL getting in the way, but very pleased with it inside and out so far. The few flights I made were lovely sounding and a delight.

needles 1,010 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Great review Joe. Am I not the fool? Buying another version before Milviz released their version. Note to self, ask forum members first before spending any money. Lol Cheers PS. I've now got this version also. Tut tut to self. Lol 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I can share what I did, which involves editing an xml file, so don't attempt if you are not confident, and take a copy first. Find the file "radi_d.xml" it should be in [YOUR P3D FOLDER]\SimObjects\Airplanes\DHC-3 Otter Milviz\panel\DH3_XMLGauges Starting around line 56, the line "<String>%((A:COM1 ACTIVE FREQUENCY, MHz))%!6.3f!</String>" Change 6.3 (or 5.3) to 5.2 exactly as below. Then around line 64 (below) <String>%((A:COM1 STANDBY FREQUENCY, MHz))%!6.3f!</String> Change 6.3 (or 5.3) to 5.2 exactly as below. Save file, all done and the radio display should look like this 2 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 And the flight sim tweaker spirit comes to the rescue again. Great work Joe Although it does make me wonder why didn't they think of that. All in all it looks like lease worthy. Link to post Share on other sites
