New Breguet Alize (RFN)

TARPSBird said:
Hooky, your repaint looked fine in the pics except for the odd grey panel. Whatever it is, it must be a part of the aft fuselage .dds file because everything aft of the cockpit was pink when I was experimenting. Thanks for your work, I'll grab it when you upload it. :encouragement:

Thanks TARPSBird

I have uploaded it in the amended form as stated earlier with the grey set a little further back, If you or anyone else wants to take a look and correct it then please be my guest but work's getting hectic atm so I can't afford to spend much more time on it I'm afraid. I will stress this is a quick and dirty repaint so some details may be a little rough but I think I've captured most of the detail. Also, this is an earlier scheme so may not be accurate to the Vikrant's Sea Harrier period. if i get time I may take a pop at a later scheme but for now enjoy all.

Good catch! I was just flying the first version yesterday after not touching it for a couple of months. The new version is very well done.
 
Hi Guys,

What am I doing wrong here? I downloaded the new version - BUT, what I see is an open hatch on the rear left side and no pilots. None of your screen-shots show what I am seeing. Wonder why??

You have to open the configurator panel ( shift + 1 ). From there you can add/remove the crew ( and other things ) .:encouragement:
 
Thanks menef. That gave me the pilots - but I still don't have any glass in the window just aft of the pilot's hatch. Wonder if I'm missing a texture? Also my aircraft.cfg file has no launch or tail-hook data in it. I put some in, but these guys are too good to have forgotten it.

It's not supposed to have catapult and tailhook entries in the config as there is a custom gauge for carrier ops built in. As far as the radar operators escape hatch, I'm not sure what command controls that but it appears to possible be connected to the Navigator's canopy control:

exit.0=0.4 //Pilot
exit.1=0.4 //Canopy right and rear hatch //<------
exit.2=0.1 //Wings fold
exit.3=0.4 //Engine
 
Ctrl+E will start her! Do you have enough fuel?
What a great addon! What an improvement.
Only scratched the surface of all the possibilities of this plane!
What a great team, the Royal French Navy! Superb freeware!

Thanks Storm,

If I remove my Launch data from the aircraft.cfg file, my hatch is in place. I find that it will open using the Shift + U command. Unfortunately, even with the gauge that you mention - I can't use the catapult (does not respond to the shift + I command. I can trap without any tailhook data, so the gauge must be there. Can anyone actually get a cat shot? It is possible to deck launch, but you better have some wind across the deck.

I agree that it's a beautiful model.

Bill
 
Bill, a cat launch is possible. Experiment with the place, it's more backwards than usual.

For the custom catapult & carrier ops gauges (RFN_CarrierGauge!CustomCatapult (Gauge Carrier Operations) to work, you need to download and install the appropriate gauges into FSX which are available at this link: RFN_CarrierGauge!CustomCatapult (Gauge Carrier Operations). With this setup, I am able to launch and recover from all the RFN Carriers.

Hi,

Yes, a great incredible freeware model ! Not "Royal French Navy " but "La Royale French Navy", France is a "Republique" not a kingdom. "La Royale" is the nickname for "Marine Nationale". It is subject to discussion about this. Maybe because "Marine Nationale" took place of "Marine Royale" after the revolution, because headquarters are "Rue Royale" in Paris or because many famous officers were of noble birth (example admiral "De Grasse" at Yorktown)...You can choose :adoration: !

Yep. Note the position of Cees aircraft in relation to the rear shuttle in his images. Don't worry about the front one. Also make sure you have the RFN TACAN gauge (pre-installed with the aircraft so no need to do anything there) tuned to the ship you are on (yellow text on green stripe announcing you are tuned in). Then try the Shift+I (no launch bar and Shift+U is used elsewhere on this aircraft so don't need that) until suddenly Launch Assist is triggered and you are cabled up. Flaps set for takeoff, throttle up and steady, pull the joystick trigger, and watch the animation show. Whoosh!
:ernaehrung004:
 
Thanks to inputs from all of you - I can now cat the Alize perfectly. I will add a couple of things that I have learned: 1/ Frank had it almost right. You DO need to use shift + U (not because of the non-existent launch bar) because it does open the hatch behind the pilot's hatch. This was apparently a mandatory emergency exit during a cat shot. I could not get shift + I to work UNLESS I selected shift +U first. 2/ There are marks on Foch's and Clemenceau's deck that show you where to position the Alize (and other aircraft) prior to using Shift + U or I. They are long rectangles with the aft end open. Position the Alize's port main gear on the forward (white) portion of the wider of the 3 available rectangles - and you will be in the perfect position. I learned this by carefully reading Sylvain Parouty's documentation for his Etendard IV.

If you have not downloaded Sylvain's (freeware) Etendard IV, you have missed one of the absolute best aircraft available for FSX. It is better than most payware aircraft. Sylvain is a master modeler (and perfectionist). he modeled the carriers Foch, Clemenceau and Charles deGaulle. Most do not realize that he also modeled the superb FSX version of the USS Enterprise (from SDB). Run, not walk and get his Etendard IV (from the same place you got the Alize). Sylvain has a Vought Crusader in the works.

New Alize texture needed

What we really need now is a new texture for the Alize in the same paint scheme as the two static Alize's on Foch's deck (different number - of course).

Very true indeed! The Etendard IV is the plane for me that sets the standard for CLP. Brilliant freeware!
