P-40Q Warhawk by bub released!

Bub,

I was looking forward to this one. Great job to you and your team. You exceeded my expectations on this one.

I remember when Piglet released the orginal version (years ago) and for some reason I didn't hang on to it. I won't make that mistake with this version.

Thanks for the wonderful work.
 
bub- Thanks, nice P-40.
I installed Wolfi's US Pilot & Gunner. At free flight, still get about 5 warnings, i.e. weapons... Haven't started engine/flew cause wait cursor remains in busy state, getting forward view corruption after pan sides. Guess I need something else configured.
 
Hello, anyone here?

Can't find the model

wep_pylonl_p51tank
wep_us_110gal_tank
wep_pylonr_p51tank
wep_db_p47_75gal_drop_9P
wep_db_us_500lb_9P_a
wep_db_us_rocket_pylon_c
wep_db_us_5_rocket_army_wired

in the library.

Could anyone help me find the weapons pack for the P40Q Warhawk?

Hey Swagler,

Looks like you're missing some of Dbolt's weapons, and the VB tanks.

You'll need to install these: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=17&id=6270

And these: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=17&id=6313

And lastly, the VB drop tanks and pylons: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=17&id=20807

Once you get those installed, make sure your tray tables are secure and your seats are in the upright position, and enjoy your flight! :wavey:
 
Sorry guys. I forgot to put a note in the ReadMe as to where the weapons and tanks could be found. In my haste to get it uploaded I missed it. Thanks Rami, for pointing that out and where they can be found.

bub- The P-40Q is really nice. But I'm still having a problem with wait cursor remaining busy when start to fly. If I load a default spinner, before starting engine, swap it out for P-40Q, I can trick it. Any suggestions?
 
I'm at a loss as to the problem. Maybe you can post a couple of screenshots so I can get a better handle on it. Everything seems to be working fine on my end.

bub- I installed all the weapons, tanks... all load properly. Since I installed CFS2 on Win7 x64, when begin to fly, screen is black, needing to run in windowed mode to have access to menu/view/.../cockpit, to initialize. I have not found solution, i.e. config setting... My P-40Q issue may be linked with my video initialization problem. Screenshot would only show wait cursor twirling, of coarse simulator doesn't work correctly in this state. I need to fix CFS2 needing cockpit view initialized first, then narrow down P-40Q issue.
 
I'm still at a complete loss to your problem. All I can tell you is, I went from XP to Windows 10. I followed the hints in the Windows 10 problem thread and all worked fine. Try reinstalling using these hints. It may be the same for Windows 7. Other than that, maybe on of the guru's here can pinpoint a solution. I can't duplicate what you're describing to "back engineer" it. Sorry I'm not helping you on this one.

Pretty sure this is because the 2D panel isn't compatible with the newer O/S. They just don't like those half-size panel dimensions.

1024 x 768 bitmaps give you the "waiting spinning circle" cursor. You can continue to fly, just no 2D panel showing, which can be a bugger! You have to go to top left of your window to access the Flights menu & quit the sim.

Resizing the 2D bitmap to 800 x 600, or a multiple. There might need to be changes to the panel.cfg too, depends on how it was put together.

I've got into the habit of making 2D panels for Baldy's aircraft as 1600 x 1200, which is big filesize, but these days we all have hardware that can soak it up...

UncleTgt- Interesting. Yes, when trying to fly the right hand half of panel is missing. re: "You have to go to ... Flights menu & quit the sim" Yes, the top right windows close doesn't work, only CFS2 menu exit. Maybe you and bub can update this, I'm sure others will benefit if resolved.

Do you have any suggestions why when hit 'Fly Now' screen goes black until I set 'menu/view/.../cockpit' to initialize? Googling found I this is a known issue with Win7 x64, and Microsoft only lamely suggests reinstalling CFS2, didn't find any solution.

I am set up on WIN 7 Home Premium. I downloaded Blue Devil's ACM 3d view PTO from SOH. In it there are a couple of files that change the loading view from 2D panel to VC view. Neatly sidesteps the non-WIN 7 compatible 2D panel failing to render issue, which is what I think you are experiencing when you say you get a black screen on loading.

Search for mods by Blue Devil here...
 
Wasn't there an issue with the panel.cfg a while back. I remember something said about, render_3d_window=1 , having to change the 1 to a 0, in the .cfg file. It might be something as simple as that. Grasping at straws here.

I tried changing all 4 instances of, render_3d_window=1 to =0, in default_panels.cfg, didn't help.

re: P-40Q right half of panel missing. I haven't been able to reproduce it, nor prevent wait cursor by swapping in P-40Q during flight again. More correctly, the gauges in the bottom right quadrant were missing.

I can't find any reference of: Blue Devil's ACM 3d view PTO. Are you referring to Aircraft Container Manager? I have that. What is PTO?
 
Do you have all the gauges installed? (just asking) As I said, I went from XP to Windows 10, so I missed all the Windows 7,8, etc. possible problems. I'm sure you checked and double checked everything. I'm still at a loss as to why you're having these maladies. I'm working on an updated panel and hope to have it uploaded soon. I'll make sure it has everything needed to make it work properly. I would try a fresh install in the C:drive. Name it whatever you like and try it. If it works fine, add one thing at a time and make sure it works. If you start having problems, you've found the culprit. It could be something as simple as something not "named" properly. Hopefully, someone will come up with a solution to help you. As I said, I'm grasping at straws.
Sorry I can't be more helpful,
Bob
 
Hello Bub,

Really nice looking P-40Q.
Have you considered a much less "official" paint scheme such as the one raced by Skip Ziegler?

Click to expand...

Only one left in the Library I could find is:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=17&id=11078

"ACM 3Dc Features:

  • It sets the view defaults to 3D cockpit/ 0.64 zoom, …for both air and ground starts. If you get out of 0.64 zoom, …get back by left bracket “[“ all the way out, …then one right bracket “]” back in for 0.64 zoom."

I'll set about uploading the original "acm_3dc_pto.zip" from 2008
