Thanks, Pam.....Done and did and sent the results in a PM. Test flight is a success!
Also tried Milton's A20G and Manfred's B50 at L08 and they were perfect and no prop oscillations.
Yes there is. It also opens with Shift-E
Just flew a short hop and she flies like a charm! Just a couple niggles about switches
The landing lights can be extended but I can't turn them on, no switch and no taxi light, most switches on the left hand panel appear to be inverted (battery, avionics, engine start switches are on energize when they aren't going and switch to "off" to start, same with fuel pumps)
Otherwise, shes a gem!
Pam, I see what you mean about the wonky takeoff settings, you can feel the weight of those props in the throttle. You should be proud of your FDE work, it feels great!

Awesome..
OK, so what this means, since the FDE for the zP-61C is a modification of the one i had you download, is that my next step is to put the two side by side and figure out which difference is causing the issue.. This may talke a couple days.. Bear with me..
Thanks for the feedback folks! In brief to reply to some observations:
Vcockpit 5 is mapped to the upper quadrant of the RO position and displays altimeter and ASI. I'll look at the maps also when I get a chance. /QUOTE]
I took a second look and RO gauges are on VCockpit 8...?
A small item but I noticed fuel diagram on left is upside down..

Thanks. I'll flip the fuel diagram in the textures. Unfortunately, I just went to check the VC texture maps in FSDS and in the rush of changes and requests, it appears that yesterday I inadvertently deleted the entire VC source model. My fault entirely, but I suspect that any changes from now on will be texture based only. I'm off to have a lie down...
Dean, What can I say! As a person who is a computer Neanderthal, I am as always totally in awe of what you Gents can do!! Great hairy-chested aircraft and a tribute to Jack Northrop, one of the great innovative designers of the era, whose work, though not overlooked, has been overshadowed by some better-known designers of the time.![]()
One thing I did discover which I wish had been done differently is that there is no large size gauge panel. I was thinking about adding bezels to the gauges similar to what Dean showed in the actual cockpit images he posted in this thread. However the panel texture (or at least the only thing I can find that seems to be the panel texture) is located in the lower left corner of the "virtual cockpit" texture and too small to allow any enhancements. There are other panel textures but they seem to be only for the various switches and such.
Sorry Dean. . .an otherwise excellent airplane. . .just a personal preference probably not shared by most, lol
:after more searching it seems (according to MCX) that the texture for the panel may be part of the model file and not accessible as it references a texture $VCNEW which I'm pretty sure is a placeholder, but there is no corresponding texture in the folders.
