IRIS BD-5..

Pbear, it should be a fixed pitch prop so no prop control lever (if my memory serves be correctly)... Again, I'll double check the config to see if I've accidentally used a constant speed prop option.

Regarding the model size in the preview box, I used Arno's RADItor.exe and set the radius of the exterior.mdl to 4 and now the model is visible in the window. In the game the model is a little further away in spot view too. . . . . .

Hey thanks for the reminder Roger, had the program icon on the desktop and never thought about it til you mentioned it. Works like a champ.:salute:
 
I might need another cup of java cause after 15 minutes I am yet to find any more pics or vids other than the 7 pics with the 2 close ups of the gauges. I even went to Iris and do not see any info.The few vendors I found all have the same pics and short description. I am a impulse buyer but after this weekend of shopping and a few other really great FSX releases, 30 bucks is 30 bucks.
I will post links when I find some more shots.
 
Add me to the list of "coullda woulda shoulda", tinkered around with one at Cumbernauld about 5 or 6 years ago, started off as a partially built kit and to be honest we didnt really get that far with it before deciding to buy the plans for a Hummel Bird.

Might pick this up after Christmas.

Maury,

YOu need to control the flaps with either a joystick assignment or the key on your keyboard... for this particular kit aircraft, the builder has chosen to impliment a switch on the joystick for the flaps.. ;)

JIMJAM,

7 pics of the outside and two of the VC is pretty much what you're going to get.. the BD-5 is very sparse and the majority of detail is on the instrument panel.. that's the same if you're in the real aircraft or the sim version. As for the exterior, it comes with four schemes, all represented on the screenshots seen..

It's a fun, cheap and cheerful product guys... don't expect much more than that.. :)
 
Im glad you made this, Iris. You guys are awesome.

I followed this plane through to kit production when I was younger. I tried to purchase one that had the stretch kit in the fuselage pre-installed (by the builder) for the Honda engine (flat 4 or 6, cant remember).

The amazing part was that the riveted fuselage was actually glued together like some modern day fighters. The rivets mearly held the metal together while the epoxy cured.

I got to sit in one at a show once. It soooo reminded me of a jet fighter. What an awesome little plane.

Hi David (Smudge)

Bought the littlu'n from Simmarket.

is it missing any fx files ?

I don't see any Nav lights from VC or spot view even though they are switched on.
Lovely model mate ;)

PS: check your Iris Forum PM's mate

Regards
Rick
 
Hi Rick,

Will look at my PM's today.. :)

As for the effects, they work fine in external, but only periodically in VC, yet the effects are coded correctly.. Not sure what causes it, but it is a pain in the rear end.. :)

Lol, I forgot to take the autopilot function out as that was only there during testing... Do you guys want me to impliment it in a hotfix or remove it completely??

Hello,

I have purchased today this wonderrful little plane. I already have had the pleasure to do some patterns around my favorite test airport (LFMI Flight Testimg Center at Istres France)

I would like to have the autopilot implemented. Futhermore I would like to have a way to introduce the desired heading. Thank for this wonderful aircraft model.

Have a good day

Was there ever a fix on the rpm issue. If I try to keep the rpms in the green, the speed maxs out at around 80. Seems a little too slow to me. I would think it could go faster than that w/o blowing up the engine ;).
