"Complete" Milton’s and Co. Republic XP-47J for CFS2.zip

Dave,

I'll have a go at it today.

Things I think you might want are:

Prop pitch animation removed and props set to around 30 degrees
Landing light animation: animate with gear up/down
Center (tail) wheel: convert to rudder animation based?
Flaps: convert from percent to standard flaps
Joystick: use elevator and aileron animations
Remove rockets and guns but leave hardpoints (rockets and bombs?)
Remove trimtab animations and set to neutral
Cowl flaps: okay? or set to closed?

Also, I can export these as FS2002 or FS2004. Your choice, or both.

Be happy to do the xp47j, h, and 72 if desired.

Wow! Yes, that would be great!

To edit your post, these are the problematic issues,

Prop pitch animation removed and props set to around 30 degrees
Landing light animation: animate with gear up/down
Joystick: use elevator and aileron animations
Remove rockets and bombs but leave the two large wing pylons for drop tanks and bombs which can be added via Cfs2 weapons profile.
Cowl flaps are ok, as is.

XP47J and if you have the time, XP47H

Export as FS2002 would be just fine.

You're an ace Milton. Myself and other Cfs2 dwellers would luv to have this historic aircraft in this sim.

Thank You, :excitement:
Dave
 
Okay, I am on it :)

I know some here have gmax abilities so if the gmax source is needed, it will be provided.

EDIT: Just curious, do the VC prop, throttle, mixture lever animations need to be removed?

Also, does the pilot's head animation need to be removed? Or is the stationary position okay?

You want the guns removed, correct?

EDIT2: Attached is the "H" model for your testing. Let me know what else needs to be done please before I move on to the "J".

That was fast. ;)
Downloaded your new models and I'll run them through the process when I return back home.

The vc prop is ok.

Throttle, mixture lever animations are ok also, they're just static.
And also no need to remove guns.

Appreciate it Milton,

Dave
 
Hey Milton?

Could you take the file you attached and export them Fs 2004?
There's a little bug with the engine cowl flaps after running them through mdlc and edits will not take.
 
Attached are the XP series as exported for FS2004 to correct the aforementioned cowl flaps issue.

Let me know if we need another go at this.

Including the xp47h, the xp47j, and the xp72.
 
Hey uhhhh, Milton...They Came Out Perfect!
I really hadn't checked out the 72 model before. That's one intimidating Machine. :tyrannosaurus:

These ran through the conversion like greased lightning.
Any animations possible in Cfs2 are there including those pesky little cowl flaps. :encouragement:

Thanks a heap for making this possible. Ya didn't have to do this, but ya did and that's cool.
Time to finish her out with the detail items in Cfs2.

Cheers Mate,
Dave
 
Ah, Dave, that's great to hear! Thank you for all your efforts to get this working in CFS2. I hope it brings some extra fun to the sim here. I appreciate your time and enthusiasm. :wavey:
 
Getting There...

Just wanted to let chaKnow, I didn't forget about this. Almost done with the damage profile...still needs more tweaking on the hardpoints. :black_eyed:

Thank you to the whole team

Great add-on to the list of interesting planes to fly - I'd hurried to snatch it. Thank you for this beauty.

Hey Guys,

Hope y'all have some fun with this bird. It really is a nice model.

BTW, you may not know it but you are also the, how would you say, beta testers. Besides me. :playful:
Seriously though, if anyone finds something that is not right, please post it.
I always feel like "was every thing there?" every time a file is uploaded. :stupid:

Thanks, Dv
 
Xp-47j

Great Model, flies beautifully.

Thank you to all involved for the obvious amount of hard work to bring this lovely model to fruition .

All we need to do now ---is to find some enterprising individual who can build the Bloch MB-157.(The Holy Grail of Early WWII Aircraft).

Once again --thanks to all for the XP-47J.

Regards,

1150:applause:
