How embarrassing, it never occurred to me to look down there in the VC.

...even more to love in this amazing bird.

Thank you!
 
Just downloaded the C-1a and while looking in the Ops.txt in the Documents found that for carrier landings, one should look at "Reference Help".

I don't see any such file or document. Should I? or is it still in the works?

For now, I'm just going to learn how to fly this gorgeous bird!

Sorry Kelly; looks like I forgot to update the Ops doc with the following Carrier instructions for all the releases:


Carrier Launches - full flaps, 1+ degree up trim,

Climbout - Retract the gear and climb at 1000-1250 fpm depending on weight and preference, trimming as necessary to achieve climb rate and speed. Once established safely in the climb, set initial climb power of 51" and 2700 RPM. Desired climb speed is about 120 knots IAS.

Cruise: Max cruise power is 47" and 2500 RPM, retract flaps up as necessary. Max endurance is a liesurely 27" and 1650 RPM and 1/3 flaps may be left extended to achieve a more level attitude for employment of the radar.

Landing - Approach downwind at 120 knots flaps up, reducing to 1/3 and 115 knots, 110 and 2/3 and full flaps and 105 knots abeam the touchdown zone, with gear down and props full increase. Final approach over the fence at 95 knots begin a slow flare at +15' and touchdown below 90 kias with light power. With low weight, you can touchdown around 80kias.
 
Milton and crew,

had a fantastic first test hop around San Diego, North Island to Miramatr for a touch & go, took a go around because the Top Gun F-14s were crowding the operations area, decided to return to North Island so I could put her away for the evening. Excellent handling and flight. The sounds are fantastic, Nigel, the FDE also, Tom. Absolutely fantastic aircraft model and textures. VC great.

Then, DISASTER!!! My main harddrive, (Not the FS, one!) suddenly failed!!! 1.5TB. Managed to copy everything to another drive, which I had installed as storage only, not bootable. So, I will be down for a few days as I replace and reinstall all my main programs. Using the wife's notebook to type this.


Again, Thank you all. :applause::medals::icon29::guinness:
 
The dump effect is quite sensitive to position and speed.
I found a solution that seems to work for the max drop speed of 130 kts

Uncle Milton, thank you for the sweet Grumman Birds! About the manuals, In consideration and the research, as soon as the bird is done, i can make the manual more specific to the package.

And Nice work Duckie! Lovin VAW-121!

Zsolt you have it already...
comment out the retardant line in the aircraft.cfg

[smokesystem]
//smoke.0 = 0, 0, 2, fx_SOH_dump_Retardant, // use water or retardant, not both
smoke.0 = 0, 0, 2, fx_SOH_dump_water, // use water or retardant, not both
 
Milton and crew, thanks a million for these great birds! I've downloaded the C1A, E1B and S2A's so far, and love them all. I'd been using Rick Sasala's E-2C for recon patrols, but that is about to change. Loving the Stoof with a Roof!
Similarly retiring the Greyhound in favor of the C1A.
You guys raised the bar again for freeware development, in my opinion.
And Nigel, I have to say that soundset is simply amazing! Very well done sir, :icon29:'s on me!
