JF Canberra PR9 is out

Martyn said:
Amazing pic YoYo!

The aircraft should load in a ready for takeoff state. Clicking the power icon should then set it to a cold and dark state.

Ahhh ok! Good to know. The weekend before me so I promise - I will read the manual :D. Im impressed but some of gauge/tail - FM problems in P3D. Maybe this 2.1 did something wrong. In FSX looks like it works better.
 
I've yet to try mine, as my PC is currently down at Classic Air Force (a few yards from a Canberra), but I thought that a PR.9 started with very little smoke as had an avpin start rather than using the older cartridges?

Martin
 
I've no idea how that effect file reference has even ended up in there. However, it has and I have already emailed Steve about it. The PR9 in service was an Avpin start (which would create some smoke, not as much as the cartridge though). The aircraft modelled, however, is as XH134 currently is - converted to an electric start. So no smoke at all.
 
I removed the black startup smoke by disabling the last entry of the [EFFECTS] section as follows:

//startup = fx_canb_start

Upon startup there are now just some whisps of pale smoke, but again they are not in the proper location. I believe this is due to the engine locations as set by the [GeneralEngineData] parameters which has them moved out about 15 feet from their original locations.

[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type = 1
Engine.0 = 0.400, -35.200, 0.000 // was 0.400, -10.200, 0.000
Engine.1 = 0.400, 35.200, 0.000 // was 0.400, 10.200, 0.000

Not a big issue to me.
 
As mentioned previously, the engines are deliberately set within the fde at a point near the wingtips. That is the only way I have found so far to replicate the poor assymetric handling qualities of the aircraft.

Don't block it (I made the same mistake LOL), put in a dummy fx and you won't see smoke coming out of the wingtips and you don't mess up the FDE as explained by delta558: startup = fx_dummy

Understood. I'm not messing with that.

As for the [EFFECTS] entry, I've added the startup = fx_dummy. Not sure what the correlation is with the FDE or the wingtip effects, but I'll take your word for it.

I'm really enjoying the heck out of this. :adoration: I took a night flight yesterday which was a little hairy on landing as I didn't have the landing lights figured out yet. I just finished my earlier morning dusk flight (as I finished my morning coffee) and learned some more features.
 
I think the landing lights are on the 'to do' list for possible improvements, something to do with a cone illuminating the ground better. Glad you're enjoying it!

You probably already know this, but this is my experience with the landing lights.

When loading the Canberra the landing lights are in "Hi' mode and external lights are on. In this mode I tried a night landing and there was no illumination of the runway. The taxi lights provided a little more, but not much.

When I flew this morning at dusk, I noticed that the runway was illuminated when I switched the landing lights to "Low" mode. They did not illuminate the runway in "Hi" mode as experienced earlier.

Perhaps the "Hi" and "Low" modes are reversed??
 
Awesome model! Both inside and out! Congrats to the JF Canberra dev team !! :applause::applause::applause:

I can't seem to get the Canberra_Flight_Analysis proggy to work... Nore by clicking the icon in Programs/Just Flight/Canberra PR9 or clicking the exe file in JF_Canberra/Panel directly. Nothing happens.... Not addressed in the FAQ's...

Am i the only one ?...

Been flying it anyway. Great fun ! Thanks !! :encouragement:
 
There just something not quite right .... :idea: A little more effort ! Real V Sim :adoration:

Just suggestion (not read manual yet). In the start I have always engines running on. Is it possible to add for this 2D panel: Cold & Dark function?

Love the vertical shots. Any more are welcome - would love some as my iPhone wallpaper!!

PC is packed away for at least a few months as part of a move ....

cheers,
 
Thank You delta_lima! Agree - very nice model, top class external and interior. New way of JF model (sorry but never like to mutch this old models from Aeroplaneheaven like DC-6, Connie ect. too cartoon for me), but Canberra with this new team (?) looks so good : ))).

I opened a ticket at JF shortly after downloading and George suggested I try running it from the panel folder itself but I'd already tried this. I've noticed a few oddities with switches and lights which may be related to the fact something is missing.. eg, up to date dot net files or similar. I dunno to be honest. This is a fresh install on a fresh install of Win7 Ultimate so anything is possible. Unfortunately, the error doesn't give any clues.. not that I can see.
Still.. I'm not downhearted. It's a smashing model and one of the few I have of this type that's a pleasure to hand fly;-)

I've been encountering another problem that I've reported to their support team, and thought I'd share it here.

Basically, I'm getting a Fatal Error message and FSX restart whenever I attempt to use one of the FSX Navigation tools.

I got the Fatal Error message whenever I attempted to load a save flight plan for flying (the Canberra). Just a few minutes ago I was on a flight to Spokane, WA with autopilot. When I called up the FSX map to verify an NDB frequency, I got a Fatal Error again when I closed out (cancelled) the map view.

I'm guessing that the GPS is conflicting with something, but don't know for sure. Other than that, this is a lot of fun to fly.

Thank you, Dave! In any case it's good to know i'm not the only one having a problem with it. Let's see what happens...

Hate to mention this but I just tried the Flight Analysis Tool for the first time... It works just dandy for me.

Wonder why others are having problems with it?

In my case I think it's because I'm running Windows XP Home (32-bit) and the error prompt I get says it's "...not a valid Win32 application". I'd like to be able to use all the plane's features but I fixed the nose wheel steering by manually tweaking the cfg file. That's all I wanted to use the Flight Analysis tool for - when I found out I couldn't use it. :untroubled:
