AH Curtis Commando Released!

Marc I agree with you entirely and this problem is not only confined to AH,Milviz have a similair problem.

It seems the customer is fast becoming the Beta Tester.

Cheers Chris
 
Let us make one thing perfectly clear here. We do not run the beta testing process, Just Fight does. If Just Flight are happy with the results of the process, they release the product. That is their decision not ours (AH). The way something flies is very often a personal opinion and not a "critical issue". On the C46, we have created the FDs to replicate the flight reports from real pilots with time on the type, and contemporary manuals, POHs etc.

Any comment regarding our productions can either be addressed directly to Just Flight, in cases of Just Flight products like the C46, or our help desk at Aeroplane Heaven for AH products like the Helldiver for example.
 
slowly getting there, just have tie the tail section into the main fus and then I can start with the general other bits of paints

here a compassion of the bare metals, new vs old

Barry,

IMHO you've done a great job so far. I'm pleased with the model.

one thing for the patch, can we see spec mapping for each of the texture files, instead of the generic single spec file that covers the whole model

and look at the engine data as she stalls out on a +400ftfpm climb around the 8000 feet mark and maybe revise the COG as flying level she flys nose down and bum up

and look at the vc lighting or the lack off

I asked for this before the models were complete. Without specs for each texture sheet, a truly "realistic" aluminum cannot be achieved. Matt, how's the reflection scale? how far to the black end of the greyscale are your alpha channels to get this level of reflection?

Rick we wi;; discuss this in the hanger group page, I will post some pics for you

lets put it this way, you wont get what your after noting your other works

I have yet to buy it, but yes, it certainly looks to be a fine model. I'm typing this, hopefully, to be of encouragement to A.H. - this really could be a winner. Take time to make it perfect, gentlemen.

If you were to read the contemporary reports, you would see that pilots reported the C46 barely making 450 - 500 fpm above 6,000ft. This was one of the great challenges of flying the "Hump". It required circling in huge, slow climbing circles before setting off for the mountains. The nose down attitude is due to position of payload. The lift coefficient for the wing is set for level attitude when using the gyro-pilot to hold altitude. POH recommends use of the GyroPilot at all times when off the ground. For manual flying do what they did, alter the ratio of fore and aft cargo weights. Engines are configured to book values allowing for slightly increase prop efficiency/thrust to provide a mean result across the different models.:engel016:

good information bazzar.thanks
 
@worknow, while experimenting with a model's behaviour you should understand that many FS products don't just use the default systems to model fuel and flight behaviour. A number of developers add custom gauge or external program features to reproduce specific characteristics in ways the air file and aircraft.cfg alone cannot. A2A's Accusim would be a more extreme example. If you then try your own modifications the result may be you merely break the flight model.

I don't know how much or little of the C46 uses such custom behaviour, but if it does it won't be documented in the model's manual (I have no connection with AH/JF.) Tread cautiously.

Yet another promising aircraft parked in the hangar till some critical issues get sorted out, in other words SP1 etc. This is not JF but AH (the creators) they seem more times than not to be let a product go before having tested it thoroughly or run it through to sort out the operational stuff, never an issue with the model or the textures (well how they do them is another issue). Still there is another way of looking at it; release it early, get some dollars back to pay for repairs and rectification and you have all the eager flight sim community to do your beta testing for you.
I think I can remember only one of their products that has worked out of the box so to speak and has yet to need a SP.
I was really looking forward to this one and I will just have to wait until it is fixed.
Lets hope they don't do an update and stuff all the early release liveries like they did with another product!

My first venture into Payware was the AH Spitfire series, always loved it.
I'm probably not 'picky' enough but I've never had any complaints re AH developed aircraft, they all worked out of the box.
All the 'eager flight sim community' are the reason why developers are brow beaten into 'early releases', the stream of 'when do we get it' once a new project is announced reaps its own rewards.
Patience is a virtue severely lacking among the 'eager flight sim community'
:banghead:
 
done the first one, most of the others ones I want to do are already done in the package however I will to redo them
