Very impressive work Dino!.

Someone can post approach and landing speeds? and Flaps and landing gear maximum speeds?T
Thx
 
Neuwuc !

Engine Exhaust effect on shutdown

Nice Job Dino!! :applause:

I know that this is a beta and the bugs will slowly subside however, I noticed that on engine shutdown, the effect startup=fx_dsb_heat
was still running even though the engines were off. (Engine exhaust was still trailing out back end of both engines)

I put a couple // in front of the effect and although I won't see the effect on startup, the effect won't be running when the engines have completely shutdown.

//startup=fx_dsb_heat

Absolutely beautiful as usual Dino many thanks. But as usual for me had it less than 30 minutes and I Free Willied it AKA broke it. I didn't even know the rudder folded down Ctrl-W. Now where did I put that manual.

Dino, perhaps a condition that the gear be extended and the aircraft be on the ground before the Ctrl-W command works?

Thanks for the wing tank position adjustment fix Storm. That leveled her out nicely.

Did someone say "instant classic"?

Nice shot. Does anyone know how to manipulate the COURSE and HDG bugs on the EHSI? I can't seem to find the switches or knobs.

Yes, first you must select either the Course(indicated by the green arrow) or Heading button(indicated by the blue arrow). Then the two middle buttons(indicated by the red arrows) are pressed to change the course or heading bug.

It needs a grease pencil mark on the windscreen to drop weps ;)

I've also added the right seat to the cfg. I didnt have the exact GUID, but this still works well and fits the VC.

[CameraDefinition.001]
Title = "Right Seat"
Guid = {195EAB58-9E4A-1E2A-A34C-A8D9D948F078}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.40
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=100
PanAcceleratorTime=0
InitialXyz=0.91, 0.0, 0.0
InitialPbh=5, 0, 0

if using shockwave volumetric landing lights, add

light.7 = 5, -17.5, -0.436, -2.45, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow

and in panel.cfg add

gauge01=shockwave_lights!SW Lights_gear, 1, 1, 1, 1

under the [Vcockpit01] section.

There are half a dozen repaints in the works from Groom Lake Simulations... most of them are hi-viz.

nice, however the Barry Magann factor or what ever he calls himself these days is a turn off (Google Barry Magann anzmi)

Its a shame theres some nice work that is getting done there by the other guys
 
A couple of miscellaneous asnwers:

- Copilot station was left out on purpose as it is incomplete

- Engine exhaust effect is a leftover from a comparison I did between my aicraft.cfg and the DSB one... they are not meant to be there.

- Good catch on the fuel dump

- Barry Magann: I have Googled as instructed. I did not know anything about that. Anyway, in my case, Groom Lake Simulations provided some excellent repaints for both the F-14D and the S-3B, for free and in a quick and timely manner. I have to confess that I do not know who is working in their team, but for me they did a very good job.

The "WIP" reference document will still be on my blog...

...and, as usual, thanks a lot for the appreciation!

I dont blame you , there are a number of talented guys there, just one bad rotten egg among them, he mainly sticks to the Australian/NZ schemes there
 
Dino, very small detail so minute I shouldn't mention it and I understand why you used your current excellent pilot models, but at least in my air wing I never saw S-3 crews wear their masks. Much like the E-2 crews, the O2 was attached to their SV-2 vest. Please don't waste any time even thinking about changing it, just an observation.

Dino,

So, the exhaust effect was not suppose to be there? I'm confused. Please explain.
I also noted that the fan blades seem to take a while to stop spinning when the engines are shut off. Is that normal?

Thank you for this excellent new aircraft Dino. Took it around the coast of SoCal yesterday and and flies really well. Landings were very simple.

I added the second seat view for my use, as it helped to see when trying to make those right patterns. I saw that none of the systems on that side were yet implemented. I didnt intend it as a bug report.

Again, thanks!

-Jeff
