New version of Bookmark SAAB 35 Draken released

[Bjoern]

Wow, old thread revival! I was hoping for news from Thomas regarding a fix to the fuel system on the Draken (which would fix the inverted/roll fuel starvation issue) but the site has been offline for some time now. I wish I knew how to fix the issue but oh well, hopefully one day it will get fixed.

Umm...that's a feature, not a bug. I mean, why would you go out of your way to code something like this if the real thing didn't have it?

No, technically it is a bug because the way he has it programmed. The small center (booster) tank feeds the afterburner but it should refill from the mains and stay at a constant level under pressure so the engine isn't starved but he admitted it was off on this parameter. The issue I was having is that after using the AB, a simple roll beyond 90 degrees of bank would kill the engine even if the plane's attitude was in neutral or positive G. I've seen enough videos of the Draken to know they can do rolls and fly inverted with the AB engaged without having a flameout. If I knew what XML file in the model/panel was involved and what to do, I'd fix it myself but time is a factor.

Don't have the Draken installed, so I can't help.




To anybody looking for the bird, it's latest (and last?) iteration can be downloaded from here:

Nice aircraft. Just too bad everything in the VC is labelled in Swedish.

The manual is in English so it's just a matter of reading it first and then go flying.

Hi Frank

My Synthetic ILS instrument is now uploaded and now appearing at the Simviation website.

I will create a separate thread here once it starts to appear at Flightsim , I decided to let you know here rather
than at the other thread ,

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/112145-SAAB-J35-Draken-WIP-(New-Skin)

as , although I only tried to answer a query there I probably got carried away posting all those instrument shots ,
and as a consequence ran the risk of ' Hijacking ' that thread .

This is the instrument ,
" SYNTHETIC ILS - FOR EVERY RUNWAY AT EVERY AIRPORT in the Flight Simulator database "

Cheers
Karol
