Boulton Paul P.100 from Kazunori Ito

Hi fellas,
Just a HU, there is a minor problem with it. The pusher props spin off-centre in the slow animation stage. I've emailed Ito-san, so hopefully he can get a fixed mdl up quickly.

Otherwise a great little 'weird and wondferful' bird.

Cheers

Needless to say the FDE needs some work; engine type appears to be two jets, as far as I can tell. I've started tweaking, contact points are already done, I'll look at the engine etc tomorrow.
 
Yeah, boy- time to roll up the sleeves and open up the virtual tool box for this one! Even taxiing this bird the way it is is an adventure!

That being said, it's another pretty creation from Ito-San! That's six released since the beginning of Feb. ! Wow....
 
You can't say Ito-san doesn't provide us with a wide variety of planes! :icon_lol: I'm so glad he's active again and cranking them out like he used to.

If what I'm thinking is correct, there's something else that ought to be looked at regarding propellers... It would seem that he's got each prop coded in his model file for a separate engine. Am I not correct in thinking at in the case of a single-engine plane with contra-rotating props, the mdl file should assign both props to 'engine.0' , then reverse the rotation for one of the props? The current model requires the FDE to call for two engines for both props to rotate... Someone feel free to correct me in this.

Here you are, ladies and gents-

I read that BP intended to put a Napier Sabre in it eventually, so that's what I transplanted into this set. Also, contact/scrape points, COG, and brake effectiveness tweaked... I like it! Have at it!

P.S. Gary Jones' sound set for a Griffon with contra-rotating props works nice with this too...
 
Corrected mdls

Her ya go,

Updated mdls for the correct propeller rotations.

Mike, thanks for the updated FDE.

Cheers

I'll now remove this mdl update to sav space, as the fix has been posted.

LOL saved me a job, thanks Mike.
 
Gotta tell you something: this is one fun plane. Think I might have to do a "civil" version for airmail. Great job on the revised FDE, Mike!

I was going to bin this, particularly because of it's ground handling, but the new FDE and a some new roundels and I think it's a keeper. Thanks MikeZ:applause: (And of course Mr Ito:salute:)Nick.
