A Possible Bug?
The problem with buying several aeroplanes (or cars) of the same age is that often the pieces that need replacement are that way because of simple wear and age. When all three vehicles are the same age, similar pieces are likely to be worn out so there may not be one that is serviceable condition. This is what I have found in automotive wrecking yards over the years.
I downloaded the P-3 Orion a couple days ago and finally installed and flew it.
Comments:
Roll rate seems a bit higher than I would have expected.
Since I have no flight reports on the Orion, I do not know if this is realistic, but it was unexpected.
I am pretty sure the animation for Propeller 1 is connected to the wrong engine (Engine 4).
Why did you choose to have square tip propeller blades?
That was a feature of the Electra, but all the Orion photographs I have seen show round tipped propellers.
There are a couple bleeds of the engine cowling through propeller blades when seen from the front.
The Instrument Panel looks to be pretty well coordinated.
Obviously I need to learn something about Turboprops if I ever intend to build a flight model for my version of the Orion.
Regarding DP files:
If there were three weapons, we would be pretty well set up:
8 x 850 pound Torpedoes in the Weapons Bay
6 x 1500 pound SLAM / Harpoon Missiles on the 2 Fuselage and 4 Wing Root Pylons
10 x 750 pound Maverick Missiles on the 10 Wing Pylons (Or perhaps it should be 12)
Some of the Pylons are duplicated here but this also adds up to much more weight than the aeroplane can handle which gives options to the Aircraft Commander.

P.S. I believe the Propeller 1 Animation is the bug....
