Grumman HU-16 Albatross 2.1 Greg Pepper, Michael Verlin May 18, 2012 I am privileged to be honored with the custodianship of this model. Greg Pepper is no longer with us. I wish to honor his memory and I've made a few modifcations to enhance this aircraft. WHAT'S NEW FOR 2.1 The flight model is the most significant change. The flight model has been enhanced by the use of Jerry Beckwith's AirWrench. The performance of the Albatross is now much closer to the parameters published for it. I've also adjusted the contact points for the hull. Please make sure you adjust the fuel and payload before flying. This is a very heavy aircraft, and will be very sluggish if you attempt flight with full tanks and a full payload. I've also added a few liveries, and modified several others. The colors and lettering of the U.S. Navy versions have been revised. The font the Navy uses is USN Long Beach. The paint colors are accurate now as well. You will also find new spin prop textures. I've also slightly revised the original U.S. Air Force HU-16B and two of the U.S. Coast Guard liveries. New for this release: U.S. Navy VXE6 UF-1L triphibian that served in the Antarctic, Chalk's G-111 and two new private liveries. Michael Verlin May 18, 2012 mverlin@verizon.net [/FONT]

what are psd files?

where do the psd files go?I just doenloadd the new Grumman and there's this folder called psd and I've no idea where they go. Also how to I install the payware panel without coming up with a black screen with gauges on it?
 
question # 2

When I tried using the payware panel I get a panel with black holes , instead of gauges. What am I doing wrong?I had to go back to the oridginal panel.
 
skip question #2

If I had read the readme a little closer ,I'd have seen that you have to have the payware(RealityXP etc.)panel for that to work. Sorry , my bad.
 
no Uf-1L

I downloaded the new Abatross but although the UF-1L shows in the paint schemes I don't have that model(VXE6 UF1L) I don't have that model in the sim. Could someone tell me why and how to get it.
 
checked the config file

I just checked the config file and there is no UF-1L listed.thats why I don't have it., Is there a why I can get it,and has anyone else have this problem?

I found it under UF-1 by the number 429. I was expecting skis ,what makes it a triphibian?

Strengthened keels on the fuselage and wingtip floats to allow for operation from snow made the Goat a "triphibian." (Whether anyone ever actually flew it from snow is another question..)
 
looks like them Canucks did.....

Cool! (And cold!) I shoulda figured...

I'd forgotten about those little mini-skis on the wingtip floats.
 
New FDEs

Hello,
Here are new FDEs (cfg and air file) for the v2.1 HU-16 Albatross that I think you will enjoy. Read the 'readme.cb.txt' file for info/hints. I love this airplane and had it 'back when' and have put a lot of hours in/on it. Works for FS9 and FSX Accelleration. Took me 2 days to get it just right. Hope you like.

Also in case they were missed there are two 'supplement' files related to this A/C. Just look further down the file list at AvSim :mixedsmi:

Page two and not a single screenshot ? Usually, this is not a very good sign... :kilroy:

There are several liveries and models in the 90MB download. Too many to show screenies of.
Just a word of caution...
Should anybody want to use Chuck's new cfg, please don't be as stupid as me and just overwrite the original!
The new cfg only contains one entry, all others will be lost. :redf:
I should have read the readme text.
