Etendard IV M/P final package is out!!

Benoit & Frank, thank you for your help. Unfortunately it does not work for me. I tried to fold the wings on the ground, at cold & dark state and also with running engine, also tried different flaps settings - nothing... The problem is not my wingfold key, I checked that with the stock F/A-18 Hornet where it works properly. Anyway, while it would have been nice to have it working I can perfectly live without it.

Super-Etendard? no now it's time for "farniente", long evening drinking fresh drinks and eating peanuts, saussage, etc.. with friends...:icon_lol:

More seriously, Super-Etendard is not on our priority list so far, we need something more different...some carriers for sure, after... who says "Crusader"?!?

Sylvain

CRUSADER!!!!!!!!!! :salute:
 
Never to late for a Thanks :salute:

I am a pretty jaded flier. Old school from Microprose F-19 till now. When I load and fly a plane and I am no longer looking at my computer drawing graphics but can smell the old aluminum, burnt Jet A and my face cracks a grin,:) you know you did a dam fine job.
I know nothing of this jet or project but stumbled apon it and glad I did. A nice blend of my favs. Old warbirds coming of age and transforming into the jets of today. A great era.
Thanks for the effort that was put into this aircraft.
PS- And THANKS for no vr cockpit reflections! They have become the music people feel they must add to every stinking Youtube video like its a law. The reflections imo were a gimic when they first were used and now are just pet peeve of mine. That and the helmet in the rearviews and crt gimic. UUUUg! Nice condensation effect on the glass thought.

Hi!
In order to have the wingfold working in multiplayer session, we linked it to Exit#3 animation (press Shift+E then 3 to fire it). We added in parallel a custom event to have wingfold key firing the Exit #3.
It seems that, in some cases (using some joystick for instance), this custom event doesn't work properly...Why?? I really don't know...
I suggest you to use directly Exit #3 key stroke instead of Wingfold key...

Let me know if it helps,
Regards,
Sylvain

Thanks to Sylvain the problem is solved: I still had the beta aircraft.cfg version. With the new file everything works by the book.
 
Sparouty,

Everything is working beautifully with the Etendard for me except one little matter and that is that for some reason I cannot get the AI Tanker to work. I have followed the steps and in the pop-up window, the Tanker flights do not appear. What am I doing wrong? (I know I must be missing something!). I forgot to mention that it appears that there are title conflicts with the AI aircraft when starting the sim due to there being 2 AI Aircraft named "EtendardIVM Nounou 59 AI" in both the SimObjects folders Aircraft and Misc.
 
cat launch

3 screens of vaious throttle and weight settings
cat launch speeds include the carrier speed of 25 KIAS, no wind
From 166 to 183 KIAS-----using pause key is hard to do, so speeds are give-or-take a couple knots.

I must guess the launch speeds are because of work around mentioned in the T-45C thread.
trims well, I think, trimmed to 167 KIAS, alpha 6.3 degrees, fuel 67 %, rate of descent 100 to 200 feet-per-minute (30 to 60 meters-per-second) on carrier approach until I had to adjust when I was close, more or less at call-the-ball.

"cut, cut...........3 wire........deck red"
Good work ! :applause::applause::applause::applause: LSO does add to the simulation.

Hi!
166knt seems too high... Are you using the brakes trigger to fire the launch or Shift+Space?
My work-around uses only "brakes" events, Shift+Space is the Acceleration procedure...
You should have a launch speed around 130knts so don't forget to trim and set full-flaps...

HYERES Palyvestre LFTH texture problem

I installed the HYERES Palyvestre LFTH base
I noticed some texture anomaly (black aircrafts)




Is there a solution?
 
ok, brakes work

143 KIAS with 25 knot carrier speed so cat track speed is 128 knots.
OK, brakes work but when I first tried it, it took several seconds to work, not the 1 second "little tap" as stated on pages 17 and 18 in the manual. I don't know why it took so long but holding the brake long enough---6 or 7 seconds or more counting the seconds on more launches-----maybe future cat launch will be shorter.

Of course my computor is getting mighty old so maybe a better computor is obviously needed.

Anyway the cat launch work around is a great help and I hope adaptable to other aircraft. :applause::applause::applause:

Hi!
The delay should be around 4sec. I'll check the manual ...
This 4 sec delay is the time between pilot's salute and effective shot. If you use the Clemenceau, you'll have the Shooter's animation runnig during this period : check of the deck and ask for the launch.

S.
