Howard...Now available for download here at SOH!!

Downloaded and installed it, same as before. Port engine prop rotates the wrong direction and cranking the engine causes the plane to spin around and crash. Might be a MS Acceleration issue, I've had this with a few other FS9 port overs.

Strange,
I just tried a cold start and had no issues. You did download the Howard from the SOH in the what's new section? Also the one I uploaded isn't a port-over so I'm wondering if yours is a different download?

ooops, sorry Roger, not sure why I missed reading this thread. I looked at the textures and you're right, they could use some sharpening. I have to leave in about an hour for the weekend (death in the family). I'll be back Monday and start working on it. Milton made the VC panels very easy to work on so it should go pretty smoothly.:salute:

Sorry to hear about the death Ed. Look forward to whatever you can do with the vc panels. I'm looking at seats cabin walls and carpets (can't do panels lol).

Haha,
H, I hope you get your puter sorted soon...there's loads to catch up with:ernae:
 
I'm a little confused here guys (nothing new tho). Where are these great repaints to be found?

Thanks
 
:applause::applause::applause: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Gentlemen and Ladies, you've made my FSX year. I had sadly retired the ported Howard a while ago; to have her back, and able to bust clouds again with her again. Ahhh. Hog heaven! With the SAS R-2800 sound pack. Brilliant. Put that one into everthing with a big round pounder on.
And to fete the mighty Howard... Ventura-like meat substitute! The RCAF operated over 300 Venturas, not often appreciated. One Ventura is under restoration to flying state in Calgary. FIGS, bit of tuning to do. Okay... a LOT of tuning to do.

There may be some misunderstanding here. My starter post bemoaned the fact that the converted Howard 500 can't be downloaded anywhere these days. I'm hoping there may be a solution somehow, somewhere...

Yep, just downloaded from SOH. Turned on the master battery switch, used keyboard command to activate the port engine starter, saw the prop rotating the wrong direction, then the whole aircraft spun around and crashed. I looked at the normalized starter torque and it seems very low, I know this value can spin aircraft around if it's too high.
 
OOoooo.... I wish Com-Central would approve my account. I really like some of those paints:running:
 
The beauty of the Com-Central file is its an EZ-installer exe file. Loads all those beauties in one shot.
 
Mike's conversion was indeed an approved, sanctioned effort. Thanks to Mike on this one and the Spartan. :applause:

If anyone would like the original, 24 bit textures for the cockpit for the conversion to FSX, just ask.

The prop issue may be one easily fixed if it is just a reversed pivot. Mike may correct that if asked.
