Alpha Bobcat Update packages uploaded to Flightsim.com

I just uploaded the four packages for the Alpha Cessna Bobcat Restoration Project to Flightsim.com. There is a base pack with the modified stock skins, tweaked flight dynamics and DrZGard's panel mod. There is a sound package based on files by Mike Hambly and Lawdog. And there are two skin packs containing the 9 new skins I did for the plane so far. The base package aircraft.cfg is pre-tweaked for the use of the 4 stock skins and the 9 new skins. The new skins will not work properly on the original Bobcat as they are set up to use DrZGard's panel mod. Additionally, the 4 stock skins and the 9 new skins are also preconfigured to work on the float version of the Bobcat once I do the Restoration on it and incorporate DrZGard's panel mod into it.

Not sure how soon these packages will be available for download...but should be relatively soon.

I hope to do some more uploading tomorrow or the day after....tweaks and new paints for Eduardo Fadul's PT-19. Then tweaks and new paints for J. E. Narcizo's PT-26 later in the week.

You can find these uploads by seaching for Tim Dement...that's the name my parents stuck me with...not really a name I would have picked. I preferred Sasquatch Peterson, but they vetoed that one.

Should be up tomorrow, Tim.

Nels only updates library once a day.

Be watching for it.

Thanks much for your work on these. :guinness:

I will be doing more paints for the Bobcat....have 5 more military style ones to do, then I will do up some civilian skins. Then I will give the float version the same treatment I gave the wheeled version. I planned ahead and made the stock and new skins usable on the float version as well. Right now I am taking a break from the Bobcat and tinkering around with Joe Binka's Grumman Widgeon...the radial powered beast. I am putting the finishing touches on one very pretty skin....I think this is my favorite paint out of ALL the paints I have done.

Claudius,

Thanks for sharing the video. I was listening to the engine sounds during the flybys...and they are so very very close to the sounds of the real Bobcats doing flybys in the videos I used for reference.

downloading the update, skins, and sounds now.

looking forward to some bobcat formation work online!

gotta learn to fly somehow, right?
 
Of all the things that were improved on the Bobcat, I think the most striking difference is the engine detailing. That radial engine just stands out and demands attention...just as a radial engine should.

Got it....will give it a read. Thanks.

Just skimmed through the "book". Very interesting. Will give it a full read when I don't have two insane ferrets romping around the room and making sneak attacks on my toes. The section on the 120/140 really caught my eye....I fly the heck out of Brian Gladden's little Cessnas.

Glad you gents like what I did to the Bobcat. You guys have been waiting quite a while for the project. Was THIS CLOSE to having it uploaded and lost it all in a HD glitch. Started over from scratch, and I think the second go round is better than the first.

If you folks would, give me some feed back on the flight dynamics. I have tested and tested and tested, tweaked and tweaked again until I was happy with them. The landing characteristics were one area that I had to spend some time on....the drag generated from the flaps was virtually nil and I could not get the plane to slow down. I upped the drag coefficient on the flaps...hope I didn't take it to far.

....Excellent upgrade to the Cessna T50 Bobcat Tim. It's a delight all away around. And speaking of delights,...the girlie magazines are most appreciated too. When I'm hitting those long, boring stretches of scenery below,....I'll know what to reach for.

The girlie mags are part of the stock air craft. If you check out the 9 new paints I did, I have all those magazines alpha channeled to be invisible. If you want them in your planes, go into one of the 4 stock paints....the ones that are simply numbered, and copy and paste the BOBDECS.BMP file into the new paint folders.

If you check out one of the new skins, in the middle rear seat you will see a line going from the seat bottom to the seat back...that is an stray modeling poly left visible when I made the magazines invisible.

Obio,

thanks for the update on the bobcat, its looks great and sounds impressive. But there is one minor glitch in the package, the Typhoon_Fuel2 and AvTutor_Airspeed gauge seem to be missing.
any clue about the aircraft they originated from? so i can search my aircraft archive or one of the majorsites.

Thanks any way for your great work .
