De Havilland DH 103 Sea Hornet NF 21 FSX is Out

I seem to be having trouble with it, I take off Ok and then the engines cough and splutter and catch fire?

Everything is in the green, so not sure what I am doing wrong?
 
Do you have FSX SP2 or Acceleration?

I was on the beta team for this one and had no problems in Acceleration.

I just did a quick test flight from RNAS Culdrose to St. Mawgan around the coast and everything was fine.

Check Coles Specials and Big W Catalogue.
 
No fires here noddy!

Enjoying an obscure aircraft that wouldn't see the light of day but for Rob! :ernae:

Noddy do you have 'Engine stress damages engine' checked in the FSX Realism setting page?

If so try turning it off for the Hornet. I just turned it back on here (I normally set it to off unless I am using an Accu-Sim aircraft) and get the same flaming engines if it is active and you run full bore at low altitude.

That did the trick Larry, many thanks.

This setting will damage the engines if you get past the maximum manifold pressure.
When you said that "everything was in the green", did you include the manifold pressure too ?
 
flight automatically trys ends

hmm every time I load the plane, the flight automatically pulls up the flight end window. I have to select the option not to end the flight.

also the plane loads with the engine off and I cant get it started....

Any ideas?
 
No problems running in FSX Acceleration. Son of Mossie so naturally I love it. Nice Job! :ernae:

Glad to see the general consensus is positive

no downloading problems ??? makes me think w might have cracked that problem over at the Pond.

Rob has a Single seat (nice nose) Sea Hornet and a stock Hornet in the works too.


by the way - the over boost problem -- might I suggest you download Dave Gerrams gracious

gift of the Pilots Notes for the aeroplane (also at The Pond).


Cheers

Thanks for this, I have a soft spot six miles wide for the Hornet. Great news about the single-seat versions too, I'll watch for them! :jump:
