Ant's Winjeel released!

Did you get a chance to check if there is a key assignment for "Joystick (on/off)"?

Check the keyboard control assignments in FSX (go to Settings/Control/ButtonsKeys in the FSX menu) and look for "Joystick (on/off)" under events. Check if there is a key or joystick button assigned to that command. It's possible your joystick may be sending a false trigger if there is a button assigned.

I'm still not sure what my aircraft could be doing that will be causing your controller to activate but FSX is a strange beast and can do strange things.

I will be doing another update before the end of this month. At the moment the things I will looking at tweaking are:

- Rudder trim centring
- Sound when the canopy is open
- Saving the tailwheel setting (locked or unlocked) when the user exits.
- Exterior glass appearance
- Prop disk transparency

Hi
I did check the controller assignments, there is no controller button assigned to it. I haven had any time to get back into FSX the last few days but will give it a good testing this weekend.
By the way this is an excellent add on. Are they any repaints available?

Kind regards

Bob
 
Anthony,let me say thank you for this wonderful airplane.
It is great,that you keep your prices on this level,even i am able to purchase your fabulous planes---i have them all and that is so much appreciated.

My first repaint for this wonderful little aircraft:

winjeel_nz1078_239_1350.jpg


winjeel_nz1078_901_1350.jpg


I don't think the RNZAF ever had any Winjeels of their own, so I made one up! This one's based on the T-6 Harvard (NZ1078) based at Ardmore.

I'll upload the livery to OzX as soon as I think it's fully debugged.

Adam.
 
Very nice Adam! I'll be looking forward to this one when available. Nice aircraft for getting in and out of some of the challenging NZ strips actually. In fact I've also managed to do very well with it in the Orbx PNG experience Kokoda mountain strips. The CA-25 can be configured for some impressive STOL antics.

Any chance one of our talented artists out there could do a metallic aluminum livery? I think it would really suit this fine bird.
 
Terrific job there Adam. I'll await your upload. Actually what also caught my eye was the spectacular scenery in your first shot. What is that scenery?

My next livery will probably be ZK-WNJ, which is predominantly aluminium, so I may have a go at a "clean" one as well.

It's ORBX - around Milford Sound (FTX NZSI+NZMF) - a truly stunning area - that I have yet to visit in RL. Some of the best vegetation placement in the ORBX world is done in NZ, IMHO. It always looks so convincing.

Question for Anthony

I noticed that weights can be added for a copilot or passenger.

Does that mean they would be visible from the external view??

Cheers. :very_drunk:

Sorry, no extra models for passengers. There's a crap load of triangles already, about 328,000, in the model which is a hell of a lot of triangles so in the interests of maintaining framerates I left out the passengers. If it had have put in passengers it would have pushed the triangle count above 400,000.

For version 1.20 I will be adding 3 additional repaints. These will be

N107PJ (the USA registered VH-OPJ)
A85-444 (VH-AGR) camouflage but not an FAC model and
A85-404 (VH-CZE) yellowy/orangey nose, wing tips and tail
 
I had no real interest in this aeroplane, however, after reading this thread and having Ant's excellent Trojan series, I went ahead and got this little gem. Anthony, let me offer my congratulations for a model with a great character and a huge immersion factor!

Interesting!!! That's the same rego as ZK-WJL (before it got exported to NZ)!

Is VH-CZE actually A85-443 but painted up as 404?

Hello Adam,

A85-442 was the only Winjeel painted in what they called the "Flying Fanta Can" as an experimental training colour and to "fall in" with the new jet trainer the Macchi MB-326 as well as the CT-4.

A84-404 (ZK-WJL) was painted up as the Fanta Can (A85-443) after she landed in NZ.

I hope this helps.

p.s. Love your paints!

Edit: Yes VH-CZE was A85-443 but is painted up as A85-404...confused? Now VH-NTJ (A85-407) is painted up as A85-443 too....
 
This one's for Anthony, I think ...

I've searched through all the textures and can't find where these artefacts come from. They occur in all liveries, so I'm presuming they're in the model somewhere. Just rotate the aircraft around (relative to the light source) and you should see them.

This is in P3Dv3, with all combinations of dynamic lighting (settings), HDR and textures: alpha channels, SPEC, SPEC alpha. You name it, I've tried it! HELP!!

Adam.


EDIT: I installed the Winjeel (plus my liveries) into my semi-redundant FSX/DX10 system. All is OK there, so it looks like a P3D shaders problem.

Just couldn't resist another radial.... the screenies look lovely... purchased at Simmarket and will DL and install tonight... to continue my Orbx World tour- Anchorage to Homer and beyond.... the visibility looks great in YT videos....

Are all the little niggles dealt with in the latest installer?

I do not know if this radio can operate as ADFreceiver
The knob on the left allows you to select the ADF function, and frequency can be set to an NDB, but the HSI don't show nay indication.
I 'm wrong?

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I think I have patched the sound problem. I had written some bad code for locating the sound files so the files weren't being found and loaded.

I've given these patches a quick test in FSX, FSX:SE and P3Dv3 and they seem to work. It's getting late now so I am going to bed but I will test them some more tomorrow morning and make full installers.

Just install the patch to the same location as you did with the main installer.

For the demo version:

I can't get the engine sound to work in P3Dv3...tried the patch, redownloaded from vendor etc (i have the full aircraft). Works fine in FSX. Any ideas?
 
Hi
How do you install this into P3d V3.2? I would like to install it with all my other add-ons which all go into F:/Prepar3DV3/ SimObjects/Airplanes/
I cant have it on c:/ users etc as it is a relative small SSD with limited space.
when ever I change the directory to F:/ I get a DOS box with some argument error.
I tried using the P3Dv2 installer and changing the path to F:/Prepar3DV3. This installed OK but the compass and autopilot would not work.

I also have FSX on a different boot and it installed fine and the compass and autopilot worked fine, so I know how it should work

Thanks in advance if you can help
