Aeroplaneheaven Helldiver Released!

My first Aeroplane Heaven purchase, and I'm pleased with it. The SB2C has been overlooked for far too long in MSFS / P3D.

A.H. - as a refinement, would it be possible to separate the two canopies opening ? Currently Shift+E operates them both simultaneously. And if anyone has a suggestion for replacement engine sounds, I would be grateful.

Overall initial impressions ? Very good - well done, A.H.

Regarding the sound, here's a good video of CAF's Helldiver flying. To me, with the 4 blade prop it sounds very similar to the F4U-4/5 Corsair's I've seen. So I decided to use the freeware F7F's sound pack which may not be completely accurate but it will suffice to give the VC and exterior environment a fuller sound.

Cannot find this sound----do you have a link please.

Nice job Baz! I would have liked to see the front and rear canopies open and close separately, but that's just my small preference. Other than that...Well done!
 
Thanks mate. I may look at separating the canopies, there's a reason for it the way it is but I could probably do a workaround.:engel016:

As replacement sounds, I am using Vertigo Studios TBM Avenger sound set. I get wind noise with canopy open, wing fold, etc. Could use a few db boost however.

Took her out for a spin and put her down on the Lexington. I did this with the original settings, btw. Perfect! Thanks Barry! What a wonderful plane again! I wish Bob Folsom (Helldiver) could see this one.

Thank you for posting this Cees. I never knew Helldiver's real name. Wherever you are Bob, thank you for your service sir. :US-flag:

Baz, and think please about this:



front windshield hasn't "glass" textures from inside. The canopy has this effect (btw very nice) but front not.
 
Instruction manual

Is there a way to split the pages, with two pages showing, so each page would be on an 8 x 10 page? With two pages switched across 10 inches the print is so small I can hardly read it. At least these old eyes cant...grin

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom.
Due to the complexity of the checklists, we will produce a printable version. The current manual is designed for screen viewing.:engel016:

Bazzar,

Thank you, that would be greatly appreciated. Do you have any idea as to how long that will be. Only asking so to know whether I should keep cutting and enlarging....grin

Anyone else having trouble getting the flaps to lower (visually) via the proper procedure? I can't no matter what but I can get the split dive flaps to deploy via the Spoiler (/) key. or am I missing something? Also, with the model Cold and Dark, I am seeing flames coming from the exhaust on both sides when I turn on the battery.

Don't know about the battery issue, but SSI01 is also having the same problem with the landing flaps even though they are actuated in the proper manner. I get the sounds but no animation. Dive brakes working fine w/spoiler key. Since I also have the VS TBM, I will probably switch the TBM's sound pack over to the SB2C. Both Wright engines so it should work.

An EXCELLENT rendition of the SB2C, and long overdue. I noted no A-25 texture. Are you contemplating an add-on pack in the future, or are you letting the community take care of that?
 
ss101 : see baz's post #52 but long story short a sbc2-3 and 4 is not an A-25. Quite some differences to the point that Curtiss internally referred to the A-25 as S84 to help with the confusion in drawings and specifications. So an A-25 texture whilst nice would be wrong ... not on the level of the kardashians, but wrong all the same. :encouragement:

Thank you, I hadn't thought of that - I'll give it a try.

Down position:

Baz, next idea, could pilot travel up/down like in F3F-2 of AH when canopy is open?
Id like to see also next VC view for landing (as in real) on the up chair position (next after default).

Here is another example that no "glass effect texture" on the windshield (which i like it). Only on the canopy (see difference between sky, a little strange):



Regards! :wavey:
