C-47 from Manfred Jahn and team

One question..

This is from the "Read Me" that comes with the TW Radial Sound package:

Installation "Alternate settings"
*********************************

Alternate aircraft.cfg settings to sync slow start up and shutdown using TW sound package.
You may have to adjust for your system.

[piston_engine]
normalized_starter_torque= 2.0 <-- Lower number slower prop spin.

[propeller]
propeller_moi= 133 <-- Lower number reduce prop spin.

*Note: Upon shutting down, pull throttle full back and let engines settle down to idle.
Props will match with shutdown sounds.

I am still getting the winding down sound after the props have stopped
Has anyone figures out the correct numbers to sync the sound with the props?
Thanks
Rick

Set the propeller_moi=133. This is a ballpark #. May have to go a few #'s up or down until it syncs with props. Make sure the throttles are full back and idle has settle to about 850 rpms before shutting down.

[propeller]
thrust_scalar = 1.5 // adjusted for SE perfomance //Propeller thrust scalar
rotation=1,1 //Engine 1,2,3,... Rotation direction. 1 = CW, -1 = CCW
propeller_type= 0 //0=Constant Speed, 1=Fixed Pitch
propeller_diameter= 11.53 //Propeller Diameter, (feet)
propeller_blades= 3 //Number of propeller blades
propeller_moi= 133 //40.2


Shorten prop rotation, decrease #<-----133-----> increase #, longer prop rotation.

Anyone looking for COLD & DARK. Get yourself 'SimLauncher 8.9' and get rid of the usual way of loading up FSX. With this awesome freeware program you can start C&D with ANY aircraft. ANY. It's working amazing and I've been using it for some months now. There's absolutely no need to go back to the usual start-up window after this. Very soon, the author Maarten Boelens is going to release a totally brand new version with further enhancements!

You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/fxvua2ewy22di5t/SimLauncher_89.rar

Actually SimLauncher is up to V9.2

Give us a chance, Ant! I (probably like others) only just discovered this much-anticipated release.

LOL. I was just giving a good humoured poke to all those people who will download the C-47 and won't say thanks.

Remember, freeware guys get paid in thankyous. And if you don't pay freeware guys their thankyous then the poor little fellas will starve and die and you don't want that on your conscience do you?

If you're reading this and haven't responded to this thread, just take a few seconds to shoot off a thank you to the devs because it really does make a difference and let's the guys know that putting in all those 100's of hours was worthwhile.
 
A big thanks to everyone involved - this is great! Haven't even had a chance to fly it yet; downloaded it on my laptop while at work so as to get cracking at the paint kit!
 
Yes indeed, a very big Thank You to all involved with the development of this project !!
You guys are awesome, thanks again !!
 
I greased my first landing with her, it's surely a sign!!!

Only done a couple of circuits so far, but overall I'm loving it! Looks fantastic, sounds amazing and seems to fly well!

A huge thank you and well done to all involved! :salute:

I'm not so arrogant as not to say "a great Big "Thank You" to Manfred and his team" for a free DC-3/C-47... I've lurked on the forum, watching it grow, reading the various changes, the difficulties, the screenshots, etc.. and today I had the honour of firing it up myself.

Gents, your aeroplane has taken me back to the late '60's wherein I worked on and flew in them as a radio engineer. Your sound package is by far the best I've heard in all my experience with the flight sim. I had chills up and down my spine: I couldn't speak to my wife, I was that choked up. Thank you all so much for this aircraft, and for all the work and passion that has gone into her.

All the Best,

Paul J

Thanks TuFun for your response!
Will try later tonight!

Love this aircraft and my hat is off to all involved in this project!:salute:

I've made a small correction... it should say "idle at about 850 rpms". ;)

Yes, sorry about that.

I meant for people to grab 8.9 and use the auto-update to get 9.2.

There's a new version coming.. it's quite different and has many cool features, some that I helped suggesting.

For example, auto-deletion of the ezca world cam entry, backing up and restoring the [TRUSTED] section in your cfg (should something happens and you lose them), minimizing after launch (quite basic, but it's definitely needed)... etc'.

Btw, for those using TIR, you can auto-start and auto-close it by adding it to the exe xml file or via fsuipc... it's very handy when you don't have to manually turn it ON/OFF. :)
 
Quite possibly one of the most anticipated and high quality Freeware addons for FSX...ever...well done to the team! Brilliant!
 
Oh great. Thanks. Just thanks. Now I have to uninstall my C-117D beta and install the release, the C-47 release, and all of the textures. Do you guys realize how much work you've created for me? "end snark" :)

I'm looking forward to getting some air time in both of them this coming weekend. I've been following all of the previews for quite a while now and now that it's here it's hard to believe I get to fly them in my sim. Thanks Manfred and Team!
 
Thank you to everyone involved with this great project.
Finally after 5 weeks, I have something that will get me away from the A2A Cessna 172 for awhile.
One comment..... Is there a way to have the interior and exterior sound volume the same?
I use headphones and have the volume turned up for the engine startup in exterior view, then going to the interior view the volume is twice as loud, almost enough for me to lose what little bit of hearing I have left. If there is no way to do this, I'll have to remember to turn the volume down before going to the interior view.

Any chance of adding a lever to the dash for the cowl flaps?

Ah headphones... don't use them myself, but I can lower the interior sounds. I will run some test and provide some info tomorrow. I will create an alternate sound.cfg file.
 
Totally Awesome

Until FS9 exterior sounds were always louder than the interior sounds. FS9 and FSX seem to have reversed this.
 
Just started downloading the various files now - but I know from earlier versions and following the development threads over the last few months that this stuff will be pure class! :applause:

So a big thank you to Manfred, Gman, Tufun and associates. To your health and generosity, Gentlemen!
