Classics Hangar Fw190 released!

Mathias are the videos still around somewhere? On the FW190 page on your site it mentions screenshots and videos but I can only see the screenshots. I want to hear the engine again while I'm saving my pennies :)

edit - found them in another thread (this is the one I wanted to see and hear again - http://www.classics-hangar.de/videos/fw190_inflight_2.wmv)

So sorry about this. Never want to cause any kind of misunderstandings.
I understand perfectly your feelings and the law in Germany and hate as well the facts associated with this symbol in Germany.
I only mentioned history. Find it often in Roman mosaics during excavations, and it was just a geometric figure. Pity it was used for such an evil purpose.
So, again, sorry about that and matter closed, never as been a discussion.
Best regards.

They are still on the server though I don't have an active link on the site as I was going to do some fresh stuff, just didn't find the time yet.
Here's the little video previews we made so far in the order of release.
not the cockpit vidoe is fairly old.

Thanks Mathias. That will keep me going for a little while longer.
That engine sound is extraordinary :eek:
 
Is there anything related to make the tail wheel turn easier ? I'm having some difficulties to get the tail wheel to turn, even when pushing the stick fully forward. It might be joystick related, however. I'm using a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. And that's not what I'd call a brilliant joystick, hm ?

You can dissable the feature by editing the panel.cfg.
There's one to edited in each of the following aircraft:

CH_Fw190A1
CH_Fw190A2
CH_Fw190A3
CH_Fw190A4

Locate the virtual cockpit section:

[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=256,256
pixel_size=256,256
texture=$fw190vc1

gauge00=classics_hangar!Glock, 11,8,29,27
gauge01=classics_hangar!ch_light, 122,14,20,20
gauge02=classics_hangar!BMW801_C1, 88,16,20,20
Click to expand...

Edit out the first gauge and edit the numbering sequenz of the other gauges so that reads like this:

[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=256,256
pixel_size=256,256
texture=$fw190vc1

//gauge00=classics_hangar!Glock, 11,8,29,27
gauge00=classics_hangar!ch_light, 122,14,20,20
gauge01=classics_hangar!BMW801_C1, 88,16,20,20

Beaufighter, not a problem, my comment was meant to help people understand the legacy in Germany today. It has taken years since the end of WWII to develop and from what I can see the people of this great nation want to be sure the world knows they are serious about this.

Regards to you, Tom

About the fact the aircraft shakes a bit; the BMW 801 engine is approximately one third of the total weight of the aircraft. The capacity of the engine is 41.8 litres (2,547.40 in³) which tells us something about the moving mass inside the engine. (Pistons, crackshaft, etc.)

Do you really think the aircraft shouldn't move a bit? :lol:

But do you realize it shakes when the engine is OFF? If there's engine shake modeled into this why not have it stop when the engine stops?
 
The shake does indeed happen when stationary on the ground, with the engine off. I believe the culprite is in one of the empty weight MOI's, which when set too low, this bouncing/shaking tendancy occurs, and the number should be increased, though I haven't had time to at all to experiment with it.
 
I had the sim paused today for a couple of hours with the window minimized, and when I came back the shaking was gone, even after I started the engine. After I reset the flight it came back.

When you add 16xS supersampling to this it's more stunning an ever, although I was only using 8xS for the VC shots.

@ Alessandro: Hey, where did you hide this one? Why is not in the release package? :costumes:

SolarEagle, that's great shots!

Hehe, I found controversial documents about this livery. According to Kagero the plane was painted white and then camouflaged with Grau 75. According to another source (I can't find it anymore) the white was a temporary paint applied to a standard 76/75/75 camo with heavy side mottling. I found the last more reasonable, but can't be sure.
We could anyway release this paint, stating that historical accuracy is not sure.
Opinion of the 190ers?

John is right.
I tried to replace empty_weight_yaw_MOI by a higher value in Aircraft.cfg and it works.
Example for the A1:
empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 6548 -----> empty_weight_yaw_MOI = 13125


I'm not saying that I am right to do that because I have no idea what it is, this was only a test. Lower values don't work for me neither changing values for other empty weight MOI's.

I hope this helps...​

Tweaking MOI may be a workaround, one should be aware though that it screws the airfile balancing.
If you check the .air file you will find that every table is actually in use with thoroughly calculated variables and has absolutely nothing in common with the usual glorified cessna stuff you get to fly in FSX.
I would for the moment ask to live with the little shaking until we found a permanent and more scientific solution for what we have tracked down to be an FSX bug since the FM work fine in FS9 and CFS3.

It was only a test and, of course, I did not retain this value in order not to distort the flight envelope...

To all the painters out there. Hope you like the included paintkit. Just a couple of days and you will have a (we hope pleasant) surprise.

Hehe, didn't mean to sound harsh, Stephan, so accept my appologies.
Actually I have to thank you for trying to solve the issue.
It's just that we feel pretty particular about our airfile work, or better, about AvHistory's airfile work.
I know it doesn't appeal to anyone right from the start since the feel may be a bit unusual at first but I'm sure it'll grow on ya'll.
