JF Canberra PR9 is out

[Barfly]

No bugs noticed here...

This is a fun stick and rudder airplane, that requires a lot of rudder to control adverse yaw when rolling. Great for scenery observation at low altitude, in areas like Orbx Northern California... with it's bubble canopy offers a great view and you can cruise as low as 150 mph, or as fast as 450 if you need to get somewhere.

For landing you have positive roll control down to 110, then once aligned with the runway, you can slow further, flaring to about 90 before touchdown... it will land in 1000 ft if you're careful; 2500 ft runways are not too hard, so landing in many Orbx small airports is challenging but very doable. Very enjoyable to fly and sight see in, haven't looked too in depth at systems.

Ground steering control is fairly easy if you use differential power in addition to the castoring nose wheel.

Pretty big problem is that the Canberra Flight Analysis Tool is not compatible with WinXP

Zsoltquack, maybe time to change an OS? Now, many games and addons too works only on Vista and more. I know, it isnt an easy decision but trust me, FSX and other games, simulators works better (and stable) on Win7 than on XP.
Many sims now use a DirectX 10/11... on IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad, new incoming engine of DCS, P3D ect.

But for sure, here Win XP is OK as needed system: http://www.justflight.com/product/canberra-pr9-download .

I know some people who are having trouble with the tool are using Win7-64, so it's not limited to XP.Works fine for me though.

 

[Chris Sykes]

Odd as it worked on my Win7 64bit PC.

 

[dhazelgrove]

The tool also works fine under Win8.1, but I'm finding that the frame rate hit I have with this aircraft makes it unusable.

I have raised a ticket, but nothing has come of it.

Is that a trick of the shot angle or an incredibly small Vulcan??

The Throttles are not working with my CH Pro Throttle.
Mike

?
Doesnt work on FSX settings? My CH Throttle Quadrant works fine, all levers.

 

[big-mike]

No,
throttles generally assigned to FSUIPC registered version.

PS.solved

 

[DaveB]

Thanks for that zsoltquak.. I have Wadders and the JY Vulcans so it's obviously a trick of the shot angle. Also.. I have 'aircraft cast shadows' enabled which would make a difference;-)

Mentioning shadows.. I also have aircraft casting shadows on themselves enabled and the PR9's wire AE casts a pretty awful shadow onto the model but that's by the by.

Mike,I'm fairly certain that the throttles are run through SimConnect because of systems and potential failure scenarios. From what I can gather, that means that you have to assign your throttle axes within FSX itself rather than through an external program such as FSUIPC.

 

[DaveWG]

I've got my throttles assigned via FSUIPC & they work fine for me.

Thanks---it`s working momently.
I have them connected via an Hub and i think,that the Hub is dying.
Will watch that.

That's correct, i'm on W7/64 too. I don't get an error message or anything like that when i try to run the FA tool, it's just that nothing happens...

Nice one Andy, I must find that painting by Frank Wootton, from memory it was a PR9, I have it in the library here but just to find it

 

[YoYo]

Yep, this skin "rulez".

But I like this grey too:

The second shot of the grey skin is a beauty.
