Iris C-27J inbound immenently....

Does anyone know if there is a Paintkit ?
In the features, it is not listed.

Cheers, Bernhard

It is under your main FSX root in a folder called "IRIS Platinum Series". You will find a sub-folder called "C-27J Spartan". In there you find the paintkit as well as the manual.
 
yup and give it a few weeks and i'll have a Texture pack finished (focuses on a lot of what-ifs) :salute: just a sneaky mention of whats planned...

as Pam said, RCAF/CSAR,
Italian,
Spanish,
French,
German,
Dutch (or just because i know it Koninklijke Luchtmacht),
Moroccan,
Latvian,
Bulgarian,
.... and many more, aiming for 20 extra schemes for the pack, all will be completed in sumptuous HD :icon_lol: but will be scaleable for how your PC tolerates textures :salute:

hoo boyyy.. thats digging back into history a bit.. I'm afraid the best answer i could give would be little more than speculation or an educated guess. However, with a service ceiling of thirty thousand feet, I can speculate that its cruise altitude is between nineteen and twenty five thousand feet. I can also however, see that for most of its real world usage, it never sees that altitude. being what it is ( a combat transport ) it is unlikely that it will fly missions of greater than a couple hundred miles very often, and that would preclude it ever getting over 20000 feet. The Canadian SAR version supports this as well, as it can do a low level search for the entirety of its some 1000 mile range ( 2300 for the Canadian version carrying a 6000kg payload ). In the end, i think its not so much a matter of altitude, as it is the way you set throttle and pitch.
Pam

OK thanks, if you were going to stretch it's legs say on a SFO-HNL(about 2200nm + usually headwind) type ferry run, what would you set your power for?

THanks

thats a tight squeeze leaving only a hundred miles ( 20 minutes?? ) worth of gas.. However, if I were to do it, I would after takeoff climb to 18000, set the power to about 66 percent and the pitch to cruise. However, let me qualify here.. I'm first and foremost an engineer, not a pilot. My work uses hard data extrapolated from the curves, dimensions, weight and engine data for any given plane.. Engineers typically dont need to know anything about flying, and as much as I would sometimes like to think otherwise, i'm afraid i'm one of them. You see, over the last year, i have been completely inside a P-61, and have accumulated well over a thousand hours flying it.. For that plane its a no brainer. Set the MP to 30 inch and th rpms to 2450, and you can make it to hnl with the external tanks loaded. But the spartan is a turbine. you dont set MP.. You dont set RPMs and at that point, my understanding breaks down. However I would still recommend 66% throttle,as if it has a cruise setting on the pitch adjust it for that.. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Jets and turbines could answer this better..

If anyone would like to see the pics of the real Spartan cockpit I took, and of the markings on the 179th Spartans...check out my pics on Flickr. Lots of pics of other planes as well.....not great since I was using an $80 point and shoot digital camera that has been dropped more times that I have admitted to my wife (keep that quiet please!).

Thanks Pam, those settings worked great. I got it out of E55 Oceanridge's 2400' strip with a 5000lb payload, flew 2100nm to PHOG Maui at FL200 at 66% throttle. Average IAS of 240/TAS about 325, at shutdown about 17% fuel to spare. Didn't have much of a headwind on this trip so I figure it would be tight with an average headwind but its doable :)

David, a few suggestions for the VC, would it be possible to activate the VHF selection area panel so we can switch between Com1 and Com2 or maybe both...good for checking ATIS on approaches.

I am not sure if it is me or not but I can't seem go get the ADF and NAV2 pointers to show up on the VOR1 page on the PFD, is there a way to activate these?

Would it be possible to turn the HDG/CRS select subpanel into a 2d Popup. That way it could simulate tuning the information by feel instead of panning down.

I know the FMS is inactive and I can understand as those things are probably a lot of work. Would it be possible to instead put a default GPS then over one of the FMS screens? That way could at least access flightplan info, select approaches...etc. no biggie, can always add a 2D popup.

Anyway thanks so much for the great plane...perfect fit for me as my 'flying winnebago' lol

Mr. Nott, can you contact me on Msn or Facebook ASAP, got something to Discuss with you :salute:

Nice work Iris
and Nice Paint Pam, Thank you :applause:
but is there a trick, the paint does not show up and the texture files are named different from the Iris ones? Thanks for any help

On another note I see a US Coast Guard Version twice a week at St Pete Clearwater, funny the red even seems faded but I think she new? She's a good looking aircraft
 
Psst any painter want to do me some justice for the USCG and get revenge for our HC144 ding dong mistake and give us a C27J (Dist 9).

I think you will find Pam's paint under "Alenia" instead of the where you find the other liveries.

If you want it to appear with the rest, try this:

[fltsim.8]
title=TVA C-27J Spartan
sim=C-27J_FSX
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=SAR
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
ui_manufacturer="IRIS Platinum Series"
ui_type="C-27J"
ui_variation="Canadian SAR"
atc_id=CV

in the zip file there should be a text file titled "Add to aircraft.cfg.txt". Open that file up and copy its contents..
Oopen the aircraft config and scroll through the topmost section ( the [fltsim] section) and paste the copied text below the last [fltsim.x ] entry.
then change the number of the entry to reflect its place in line with the other fltsim entries.. That should be all you need to do.

Ummm Oops. Your right.. my bad, and i'm sorry.. When we were initially develooing this I put it under its parent company in the airplane library instead of under the developers name.. I'm very sorry for that confusion..
