Stuka!

A nice Stuka it is; mine, it is not (I am freelance again these days). Kudos to the good team at FCS for this one.

Best
Dan.
 
Wow I can't believe the timing on this. Only recently I dusted off my old AlphaSim Stuka for FS9 and began to wish someone would develop one for FSX. And now here it is. It shall be mine. :jump:
 
There are some wierd colour schemes on the Hurri from those small shots, a bright red one and one with D-day stripes (but not on the wings). Are they your textures Dan? The shots do not enlarge enough to see very well.
 
They are- requested for this project. One is a radar calibration aircraft (the red one) and the other is interesting because of its stripes.

The Hurricane textures are similar in detail to the HH version.

Best
Dan.
 
Good shots- as I am not formally involved, any technical questions (even any questions in general) should be directed to the developer. :wavey:
 
Thanks for the info Dan, never seen a red Hurricane before, but I am a sucker for odd schemes, and that is very odd!!

Has anyone thought that (from the screens) that the Stuka looks a bit strange?

To me ( I am no expert on Stukas) it looks like a very early variant, but is painted as a late model. It looks rather upright and square. Have any owners any thoughts? FCS have released variable quality packs before, remember the Hawker Heroes Typhoon??

There definitely seems to be something amiss with the model, particularly in the nose and canopy areas.
 
I havent really noticed I personally think it looks fine, but I'm not really a Stuka expert, I did think the nose was slightly odd but I think its because it is the early variant with the early engine, the quality is fine though it's way better than the Typhoon they released with Hawker Heroes the VC is perfectly fine, the exterior too apart from those 2 graphical errors I have pointed out in my previous post! As for the Hurricaine it's the same quality as the one supplied in Hawker Heroes and flies quite nicely. :salute:
 
I've just been looking into the nose of the Stuka and this is similar to the variant we have the prop looks different though ...

You guys may be thinking of the G1 with the 1500hp Jumo engine seen below here ...

As you can see it has a bigger spinner, smaller radiator, different canopy with the hump in the center and a longer nose!
Could this be what you guys mean?

There was a Cfs2 sound/gauge add-on for the siren effect when diving that might be useable. I'll give it a go when I buy it (soonish).

Nice one mate, I'll try and have a look for it and try it too, we really need the Horn of Jericho for the Stuka like!

this is for FSX? or a stand alone package?

It's one installer for FS9 or FSX. As well as the Stuka & Hurricane you get a few missions in the FSX version

The siren is there, dive.wav in the Sound folder it's referenced as the wind sound in the sound.cfg. It seems to work from inside the cockpit in the FS9 version but not in spot view and not at all in FSX. The sound folders & sound.cfg's in both versions are identical.
