Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

My family used to own a FLS Sprint-160 with a constant speed prop, the 2500 rpm and 25" manifold pressure was roughly our cruise setting. However, that is very much an aircraft/engine/propellor specific setting, even the other versions of the same aircraft with the shorter chord props had different settings. It's actually the aircraft modeled with the assistance of T6Flyer available on BritSim http://www.britsim.com/index.php/en...ivil/Trago-Mills-Sprint-FS9-REMAP/lang,en-gb/
I think it would fit. It may only look narrower because of the pitch they're in, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure what propeller it is.
Do these shots help?

Here is a quick and easy way to make a nice prop blade. It's how I do it in Max but you should be able to do the same thing in Blender.

I'll be sure to take a stab at it. Thanks, Paul.
Sorry for the lack of progress updates, most of it has been related to coding this thing for BeamNG, instead of working on the mesh. However, I do feel I have enough reference to start work on the Curtiss propeller soon. I have also start re-making the nose, to get a more accurate shape, though I feel I may ahve gotten a bit carried away. Also shows the first bit of what you'd see inside the real thing.
Yes, I am aware the pitot tube is supposed to be only on the right side, but I'm using mirror modifiers while I work on the interior.
P.S. Mjahn, those propellers you made are the paddle type, not the same as the PBM. Though I d think they are correct for a B-32. Sad how we don't have one of those for FSX or FS2004. I might take a step at it at some point in the future, since I do own the flight manual.

Yes. Well, still in the 3d modelling stage.
Nice !!!!!! interior work???
Does anyone know how the nose gear works? From what I understand, it's supposed to just rotate backwards into the compartment, but it doesn't fit when the suspension's fully extended, unless pulled forwards (Then it fits perfectly). I have no way of proving or disproving this theory, does anyone?
TJ, I already have those pictures, that's what I've been using (Except for the landing gear, I have even better pictures of that), I'm asking how it worked. You know, maybe some article or documentation about it.
Yeah.......
