Robin,
Nacho just finished what I had started. He completed the aircraft and uploaded a well-done, finished product that can be enjoyed by the community by building on the "base" which I had provided for everyone.
He just continued with the "numbering" at "V" since it was the next one, that's all.
Just download and drop into your aircraft folder and you should be ready to fly.
If the parameters in the "aircraft.cfg" are the same, just remember to "crack" the throttle when you are starting the engine. When the RPM settles, then you can pull back to idle. Otherwise the engine won't "catch" and will stop. The Northrop Alpha I did a while back does the same thing.
This seems to be the same with others I've updated as well, not just the Alpha.
From my own experience from my first flights when I learned how to fly, this was something that was normal on GA aircraft. Not sure if it was normal back then with these larger engines, but it would not surprise me. Then again, I've been wrong in the past!
Can't wait to test it out in PW this weekend!

Thanks guys!
Full credit should go to "Nacho" who published the aircraft. He took the originals I published as a "kit" of sorts and finished what I started.
I found a few small glitches here and there, but I let him know about them and we'll see if it's something that can be addressed.
Otherwise, a really nice job for us "novices" in the whole "making an airplane from scratch" thing.
This was actually the "student" airplane I made following the Milton Schupp videos on Youtube. Nacho just finished the interior and the texturing using the multi-part "kit" I posted, so credit for this "final" release should really go to him since he put the time and effort into it!
"Flew" a little today when I had the chance, and it's got a nice view all around. I wish I could've properly done the fuel gauges out on the wings since I'd already modeled the fuel "posts" on each side, but the thing just looked too small when I did it. I just figured it would be more "user friendly" to leave a gauge on the panel, so Nacho did the same.
Looking forward to some screenshots!
