AH Grumman F3F-2 Package info

[TuFun]

Thanks - and that will be aircraft, prop, gauges all ready to go?

The original FS2002 AH Grumman package with gauges (minus the FS8 gauges removed) is upload here on SOH as well as Caz's paintkit and texture package in separate packages.

Tufun,

This looks great and promising. One thing, From my perspective it looks like those tires are extra low profiles"
What I am saying is the bottoms of the tires look like they are flat and need a little air in them. How's the PSI on 'em?
Can see them close up to tell if they are Okay as is.

BTW do you mean Caz's repaint package?

Yea, I need to add some air. I need pump them up to -5.20 I thinks.

Yes Caz's repaint package unchecked most of the decals and colors.

Hi TuFun,
Two "silly" questions :
Are the screenshots from FSX or P3D ?
Have You added "bump" effects in the aircraft (can P3D add this effect as the shadows ?) or simply added them in the Cazzie's paintkit paneling ?

The screenshots/video are FSX and no bumps, just hi-lighting the rivets and panel lines.

Real F3-F sounds

Here is a classic movie (Flight Command) that featured real F3-F aircraft. Perhaps the real sound is used in the movie. You can skim thru it to find the flying parts. Starting at around 2:35 and thru out flick. Perhaps this will lend some insight as to what they really sounded like back in the day.

If that is authentic F3-F sounds then, they sound more like bumble bees in formation flight.
I know I've heard that sound on some other aircraft before. Can't place it.

Edit: See a video of the real deal taxiing/flying

I just downloaded the F3F-2 Plane (FS2002) and the texture package.

It's almost ready to install in my FSX.

I have a question about the F3F-2 (FS2002) gauges contents. There are 15 gauges in it. Do I put the gauges entire folder itself into my FSX gauges folder, or do I add the gauges as singles?.
One of the gauges is called extra-300.amps.gau. Does this gauge get installed. I don't see any gauges in the folder related to the whisky compass gauge??.

Yes, except gauges mentioned below:
According to CAZ:

Do note in the initial AH gauge package that the Extra 300 Whiskey Compass gauge does not work in FSX, so delete that or you will get a message (several) when you open the plane in FSX.
delete the two Extra 300 Whiskey Compass gauges, as FSX will not recognize them and will tell you so.

Whisky compass gauges are removed from the gauge folder pack so copy the 15 gauges to your FSX gauge folder. No conflict messages should show up.

Thought To add that you can dump the gauges into the panel folder so they dont slosh around in the main folder and dont overwrite anything they shouldn't.

Tis all working great here.

 

[Cazzie]

As TuFun says, copy the gauges to your FSX > gauges folder. Good work TuFun getting it up here. I am going to delete my installation package from Google Drive to make more room for other files. The bunbkle bees you hear in flight in the movie GE is caused by prop pitch, not engine noise. As far as I know, that feature has not been captured by any sound package.

Somewhere around and about there is a FSX compatible airfile I did for this plane some rime back for the Robertson Melbourne race.
Cheers. Tom

Tom, do you remember if it was posted as a link in a thread or uploaded to the SOH site? I've done quite a few searches, found plenty of offerings from you in the downloads section but nothing for the F3F. Locating a particular download link in a Forum post is a bit like trying to locate your car keys after your grandchild has been playing with them.

Falcon all are included in TuFun's links above. They work for me.

Falcon,

Just checking, did you ever find that FSX airfile? I looked for it in those files by CAZ that was posted by Tufun and did not see it.
I read response by CAZ ^ to you and got impression that this FSX airfile would be contained in one of the files that Tufun posted.
I looked and didn't find it.

I've created a prop buzz sound with FSX sound cones. This very early sound test of the external sound only. I have a bunch of videos I need to extract the sounds from to match with the prop buzz. I can isolate the prop buzz to a certain rpm on the radial sound profile. That prop buzz can peek at a certain rpm and drop a little as the rpms go higher. That can be done also.

Alpha test!

Wow! That was a good run there I like the prop buzz (Blade pitch). I guess there wasn't any blade pitch controls in the original.
Like you said, the buzz will peek at certain throttle RPM's. Clever how you made the buzz with sound cones. Looking forward to the next alpha or
maybe a Beta....

A simple clean panel bmp file and new panel.cfg file to remove the overlapped gauges. The AHF3F_Instruments.bmp goes into all aircraft texture folders and the Panel.cfg into the aircraft panel folder.

Thanks, Ted! Been having a bit of fun with this oldie but a goodie.

Your welcome! Having way to much fun myself. Had the bird for a very long time, but no skills at that time to do some improvements like I can these days.

+2 thanks Ted

I was missing some gauges but ended up reinstalling them minus the FS98 ones into my panel folder, the gauges mustered up on the panel.

Hi TF,
Why I cannot download the attachment ?

 

[Naismith]

You have to copy the text then press the underlined text - save as and then paste the name of the file over top of the attachment. Works for me that way.

Hi Naismith & TuFu,
Thank You, I downloaded the panel, it seems to be OK now....

Try "Dive Bomber" with Errol Flynn, Fred McMurray, Ralph Bellamy and Alexis Smith. 1941, I believe.

I would be willing to wager that they had "stock" sound files even back then that could be spliced and/or edited into movies as needed.
