Martin Baltimore Mk. V update by Allen!
- Thread starter Allen
- Start date
The thrust-scalar line is easy--that I managed to do. I have been changing entries in all kinds of xxx.cfg files for years.
All the rest, with AirEd, is not possible, no matter how I have tried.
Someone at flightsim.com forums suggested I put the air file of the Baltimore on the desk top and work from there and then save to the a/c folder.
Blood_Hawk:
I did what you suggested, no problem there. But the real trouble is my Air Ed does not save any of the changes I try to type in by expanding the tree.
One other thing that is confusing is that Rami says:
1) In the aircraft.cfg under "thrust_scalar," change it from 0.67 to 1.0
2) In the airfile, using AirEd under entry "1101 - Primary Aerodynamics," under "empty weight," change the number to 15,991 lbs.
3) In the airfile, using AirEd under entry 505 "Engine CFS/FS2000 Piston Engine," change the displacement per cylinder to 185.992857
4) In the airfile, using AirEd under entry 505 "Engine CFS/FS2000 Piston Engine," change the compression ratio to 6.9
5) In the airfile, using AirEd under entry 505 "Engine CFS/FS2000 Piston Engine," change the number of cylinders to 14
6) In the airfile, using AirEd under entry 505 "Engine CFS/FS2000 Piston Engine," change the RPM Max to 2,600
7) In the airfile, using AirEd under entry 505 "Engine CFS/FS2000 Piston Engine," change the Engine Power Sound Level to 1,700
8) In the airfile, using AirEd under entry 505 "Engine CFS/FS2000 Piston Engine," change the Manifold Pressure Max to 44.3
This will give you the correct weight and engine specs for the model. I am still working on getting the critical altitude right, the Baltimore hit max performance at about 11,000 feet.
Now what I want to know here is this: do I type the numbers as Rami says (colored blue here)or do I type without the commas in numbers like 15,991 lbs.
And do I type a number like 44.3 as it is? In other words, do I type all the decimal numbers (with the dot[.]) as Rami gives them exactly? I have assumed I do--the only logical assumption here.
If this continues and my AirEd does not save things, I will give up.
Also, I did not find the version Rami said he has given us in his post. Where is it please?
Meanwhile, I saw there is an FS2000\FS2002 Baltimore at flightsim.com that I will fly in those sims to see how it is.
Excuse me for my troubles--I have nowhere else to ask.

What version of Aired are you using?
Reply...
Blood_Hawk,
I'm using 1.52. I included it as a .zip file in the "Baltimore update" thread.

Blood_Hawk:
I have two versions, and none seem to work.
One is aired152.zip, and in it the Readme says it is AirEd Version 1.51.
The 2nd one is goodAirEd.zip (from simviation I think) and its Readme says:
"This is a good copy of AirEd by William M. Roth. I have noticed that other versions of this utility are missing things. Like in primary aerodynamics under lift, there should be 8 records, not 6. This upload is for anyone who is trying to tweak the flight dynamics of FS 9 or FSX aircraft and might have been having a problem.".
The latter is by Bob Chicilo, whom I call the "present-everywhere guy".
Hope this helps.
But email from me will follow.

Got it!
I finally got my AirEd to work.
The trick was to hit enter after you type in a new number.
Tom Gibson of Cal Classic fame tipped me off the the flightsim.com forums.
Now the air file is as Rami suggested.
Thanks for bearing with me through this silly ordeal I went through.
Matter is closed for me.
It might be a good idea to tell all new users of this AirEd sw that you need to hit ENTER for the new entries to be saved, in a new post suitably titled. It will many from a lot of trouble.
I am sure hundreds do not know this simple maneuver with this program.
