Aeroplane Heaven new Grumman F3F-2!

DVJ : umm. thats really nice. Really nice.

falcon409: Can you email me ( help@aeroplaneheaven.com ) on what you were doing to get the offer expired thing if you don't mind? Haven't seen that error before.

To all : I'll be adding this to the FAQ a little later but some help on the whole "5% discount if you spread the word thing".

I have a similar problem on firefox. This is because I have locked down my privacy on firefox. I have turned off peer connections ( webrtc leak vulnerability ) . I run Ghostery so all trackers and social tracking are being blocked. My cookies are only set for the originating server. I also run adblock with some custom rules. And that is the issue. Running a less secure browser like chrome and the social discount works. So you have 2 choices I reckon. Temporarily disable your privacy/security settings and complete the process and then re-enable the settings. Or use another browser that you keep less secure for things like this. I hasten to add that the site is tested on all browsers except opera ( though vivaldi looks to be a nice update ).

And I'll be adding to the FAQ the Vendor v AH release timing information.

Background noise

Whenever I load the plane and all is turned off I have a continual background roar.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tom

Actually the first time I loaded the F3F and started the engine I had a loud roar in the VC which wasn't present when I went to the exterior view. I reloaded the VC and it was still there so I hit the "Q" key to shut off the sound, hit it again and the roar was gone. Later, while in flight the roar returned while in the exterior view. . .I cycled the "Q" key again and the roar was gone. Prior to loading the airplane I had already turned down both the Engine and Cockpit sounds to "10". No idea where that loud roar was coing from.

Very nice indeed. Did you make the trap?

Yep. Real tricky keeping an eye on the deck. Had to move the eye point on one trap, and used an external view on the second trap. Take off was tricky as well when the plane wants to veer to the left if too much power is applied. :adoration:

BTW - I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on era scenery for the F3F? I found this one for Moffett Field, but was wondering if there might be others.

As I was landing at Moffett field (Same scenery) and I made my approach (Same texture) , parts of the runway were evaporating. Strange.

Bombs on F3F

I read the manual and I did not see any thing about functional bomb drops; I guess the bombs where just eye candy......
 
EU sales

So people bought it on the 15th,it is now the 17th and pc aviator and fspilotshop do not have it listed.

Have us europeans done something wrong.

As an Englishman i am totally pi**ed of with this launch.

Cheers Chris
 
No.. I've been looking for 2 days now. Just this evening, I bought the Virtavia Thud instead.. a snip at $12AUS:encouragement: FSPS have Aeroplane Heaven listed as a manufacturer but the latest they have is the Swift.

Interesting. We'll stick it on a patch list for later.:engel016:

If you still have a roar sound when engine is shut down, try this... "minimum_speed=15.00" or any speed setting you like. Also, I change to c4wind4.wav that was in the F3F sound folder.

Located in the F3F sound folder in the sound.cfg file.

Thanks Ted. . .In the meantime I sent you and Baz a PM with a link to an audio/video file that allows you to hear the sound I'm getting. Thought it might help nail down the culprit.
 
Got it late last night thru the Facebook page and had about an hour to check it out so far. Let me start by saying I was REALLY looking forward to this as I have always loved this plane ever since I put together the Monogram plastic kit as a child. But honestly, as of this release, I'm not really impressed. I have missing prop textures, lighting switches that won't toggle, prop speed won't unlock or move, the problem others have with the LOUD environment sounds, etc. I might try to re-install but it seemed like the install went fine and I even rebooted my machine before I loaded FSX to try it so I don't think that's the problem. Bottom line, for the money it's OK I guess but I would have rather spent more for a little more quality. I hope AH can get things fixed but it's already in the maintenance hangar as far as I'm concerned...and that's a shame.
