Ito's P-82....is there a FDE set for it?

Has anyone done a set of FDE files for Ito's North American P-82? The modeling is nice, the VC is usable and solid, but the FDE is way off...it acts like a turboprop.

Obio, unless you've already started on this, I'd like to take a stab at redoing the VC textures to sharpen them up.:salute:
 
Is this an "In-Total" redo of the cfg file or are there parts of the default that need to stay as-is?:salute:

Wow, that didn't take long to be pulled. . .I'll wait!! lol

I just reinstalled Ito's P-82s today....haven't flown them in a long time. I haven't even looked at the texture files at all. Just wanted to fly this unique aircraft and for it to "feel" like a P-82.

There are parts of the stock config file that need to be part of a new config file..such as the contact points, View Point. The rest of the config file can go.

Ok, I was only asking about the question I had pertaining to doing something with the VC texture, however, after looking at the VC panel and the way the gauges are placed, I don't think I'll mess with it. As you said, the VC is usable and I think I'll leave it like that.

(it should act like a turboprop - that's what he used for an engine)

FDE mod -YES

and it's accepted in the RTWR
 
I've flown it with flieger747's modified flight dynamics- it has a great feel to it, and if it's been approved for racing, hot dang, lol

Thanks for the info on Fliger747's FDE for the F-82. Just downloaded it from the library, will get it installed and take a nice flight here in a bit.

And on a personal note, it sure is nice seeing you active on the site again after your medical ordeal a while back. I hope that things are well with you and that you have nothing but the best health for many years to come.

It is a deservedly fast and long legged airplane, though a little strange with it's twin tail wheels (think shopping cart).

I have found that the plane does not like low level, hard banking turns at fairly low speeds. It stalled and I went SPLAT!
 
The low-speed, high weight handling does leave a bit to be desired, but it is not surprising with the slightly odd aerodynamics and weight of a much larger aircraft when tanked to the limit.

Fly it like an early jet.. lift off, level off, gain speed then climb and/or turn. Until you are comfortable, I wouldn't try full tanks without a long runway in flat country. It's FUN!

On 27 February 1947, a P-82B 44-65168 named Betty Jo and flown by Colonel Robert E. Thacker made history when it flew nonstop from Hawaii to New York without refueling, a distance of 5,051 mi (8,129 km) in 14 hr 32 min (347.5 mph/559.2 km/h). This flight tested the P-82's range. The aircraft carried a full internal fuel tank of 576 gal (2,180 l), augmented by four 310 gal (1,173 l) tanks for a total of 1,816 gal (6,874 l). Also, Colonel Thacker forgot to drop three of his external tanks when their fuel was expended, landing with them in New York

(Thanks OBIO... it's good to be around.. and of course the RTWR is soon upon us!)

Alright OBIO, you got me interested. Considering Fliger did the FDE (actually there are two) for it I decided to test it out. I went SPLAT a few times due to tip stalls..lol. I'll need more practice ofr sure.

I'm curious of something. I added sound files that are of single engine configuration. What do I need to do to the sound.cfg and sound files to get it to have twice the sounds so it comes out unison? (I guess)

Mean time I'll have a look at other twin engine configs I suppose.

Oh boy!! Not going to be easy. Any suggestion for a soundset?
 
I uploaded a sound pack for the P/F-82 some time back...look under my name in the Warbirds Archive. It should be there. If not, let me know and I will re-upload it. The sound pack is based on Lawdog's improved sound pack for the Allison V-1720 or whatever it was...V-17 something.

OBIO
 
Thanks OBIO. Your handy work coupled with LawDogs sounds, sound much better!!

There's another Ito Twin Mustang (F-82G) Actually both in one pack. Available over at Simviationdotcom. http://www.simviation.com/1/browse-FS2004-31-1086

And here's Fligers FDE for it (Thanks Fliger. Nice work!) http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/#download


By the way, Is there a better prop blur for these Mustangs?
