Nice plane overall, but main issue is no throttle control with my Logitech extreme 3d pro joystick. It was working fine in SU6. Please advise ,and thanks in advance.

You could always use your keybindings on your keyboard, which I believe are set in default as f2 and f3. Hope it helps!

How to remove that dog in the cockpit??????
2 years ago
In the cockpit you will find a knob up top near the very top of the glass canopy (between fuel and temp gauges) that turns on/off "Man's Best Friend". It is the bottom right knob. You will see more information hovering over the knob. RHS below the panel light switch

That plane looks great, and even sounds better.
However, the controls don't work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

SimUpdate 7 broke a lot of aircraft, sit tight, Jonx and the GotFriends team are going to bring the Optica back to life soon! ;)
We're all cleaning up and remastering old projects. Check out our latest freeware, Discus 2C, and the MXA, both entirely remastered from their original versions, also fully SU7+ compatible.

Thank you very much for your work. I had a great pleasure to fly with your Optica but unfortunately, Compass and RPM are not working anymore. The compass indicates the North, no mater your heading and the RPM indicator is stucked to 35 as soon as you start engine. There is one more detail but which is not very important. When you want to select the fuel tank, the selector turns only one way and you have to go through OFF which might be a problem.
Any way, your work deserves a five stars and I wish you a happy new year.

Yah, I can't fly it either above about 300 ft. If I stay below that it seems to fly fine. I'm in update 7 by the way.

I'm sorry as it's such a great airplane, but I get frequent CTDs when I try to fly it. I tried sightseeing Washington DC. Choosing Andrews Air Force Base as departure airport, I consistently got a CTDs each and every time upon loading the flight, before getting the opening screen. Interestingly, when I departed from Ronald Reagan Airport, it did work, at least initially. But at some point (after switching to Google Maps for a moment, even though I had already done that earlier that same flight), I got a CTD again. This happened only after I installed the Edgley Optica (and the GTN750) into my Community folder (I had been experiencing quite a lot of CTDs since SU5, so I was adding add-ons one-by-one, it was only after adding the Edgley Optica that the frequent CTDs reappeared.

Can't get it to show up in my plane list, the instructions aren't precise. it tells you to create a folder structure and then doesn't tell you what to do with it. i've tried putting the plane folders in multiple locations with no success.

Unpack the zipfile and copy paste the 'jonx-optica' folder in your community folder. The mentioned folder structure is, I think, to make sure that there are no other subfolders created.

I like the beat up textures, the doggo is awesome and the engine sounds way better than the Orbx Optica however that is a personal preference as the Orbx Optica's sound is more realistic, being quieter as you'd expect from a ducted fan. This is all spoiled however by numerous issues:
