I can't say enough, just how much I am enjoying the Grizz. Gave my FS a much needed "attitude adjustment". I have a smile on my face from ear to ear :jump: when I am flying this beauty.

Thanks again, Milton :medals:

Quoting myself before I got side tracked by SG's teasing. Which he seems to do to me often online.......and I like it, he makes me laugh.

Wombat: I'll make sure I check with you on humor from now on; Lord knows you're a barrel of laughs!:icon_lol: :173go1:

Everyone else: Enjoy the freedom us "politically" uncorrect Marines provide for you on a daily bases. Someone just ban me know and get it over with!:icon_lol:
 
LOL Mudmarine. Sorry, I caught you at a bad moment for me. My apologies.

The Marine version was no more an after-thought than a maintenance and improvement version. We wanted to do some variants, post WWII, like Korean era. I left the choice up to Damian and he chose to do the three new liveries you see in the package.

And, I served my stint in the military and VietNam so no need to be high and mighty to the rest of us. We appreciate everyone doing their duty, whether Marines, or any branch, or the civilians who stay here in support roles, or just pay your wages.

I was going to lock this thread because the spirit of the thread has changed, but whatever... I'll leave it alone to let it go its way.
 
i have just had my first flight and want to advise all ..get version 2..!!!
our thanks to the maintance crew for the quick turnaround and improvements..!! and my special thanks for the vc night lighting option..!!
just SUPER..!! :ernae: :ernae: (as one round ..is not enough..!!)

Thanks t.creed.

Yes, the Grizzly V2 has been posted.

V2 offers more model variants and 3 new paint schemes.
Corrects most V1 issues.
Adds gauge backlighting for night time flying, and a daytime cockpit/cabin light to help with the VC shadows. (Find it on the center panel)

Also, just discovered that the model.aafx (shark tooth texture) is missing ordinance. If you want an updated model with ordinance, it will be posted soon.

As V2 corrects some V1 issues, but had so many improvements in all areas, we decided to just put out a new version rather than a maintenance release. My apologies to those who have done their own upgrades with lights, etc. I would recommend implementing V.2 then applying your updates.

Lastly, please remove version 1 before installing version 2.

Thanks
 
Any chance for a checklist for this monster? I'm just flying 'er by the seat of my pants, and I hate doing that! :bump:


But man I love this tank!

Checklist is on the left lower console along with DNE and max flap speeds. That's all we have for this aircraft ... not a lot of info available in this regard.

I did provide a "quik flight notes" guide in the installation package:

Quick Notes to Fly the Grizzly

1. Start engines
2. Set flaps 15 if on short runway, otherwise optional
3. Trim elevator to +1.0 and begin rollout
4. Rotate at 80-90 KIAS depending on weight and flaps
5. At 400 feet AGL and above 115+ knots IAS, retract gear, accelerate toward 155
6. Retract flaps
7. Trim for 2150 fpm climb adjusting your trim as necessary
8. The Sperry AutoPilot is a "Capture and Hold" device. It will maintain the pitch and heading (not Altitude).
9. Reduce MP to 32" and RPM's to 2200 for cruise


The pilot's hatch, gunner's entry hatch, and ladder can be opened by pressing Shift+E.

There are Vspeeds, DNE Speeds, Checklists, and Power settings posted in the VC on the lower left side.

If the elevator trim is too coarse for you, change the following statement in the aircraft.cfg:
elevator_trim_effectiveness=1.00000
A change to 0.90 reduces trim effectiveness by 10%; 0.80 reduces by 20%. This allows finer adjustments.
 
Milton, another masterpiece to be sure. I have installed the latest update but won't get a chance to fly it til this evening. . .no matter, it'll be a hoot to fly just like the base package I'm sure. Thanks for all the hard work by yourself and the Team you have assembled, it's very much appreciated.:applause::ernae::applause:
 
Thanks to the entire development team for this very well done aircraft! Milton, I am interested in the documentation that you have on the Grizzly. Any chance in pointing me to where that might be? Thanks in advance.

Milton and Team...the Grizzly is a superb work of art from every angle! If I could attach images, I would show off some shots taken while I was crash testing Version 1. She passed all crash test requirements fully.
