If you change the view in the aircraft.cfg you can see inside the blisters and superior turret. A lot of internal detail! Before any flight, please, return to the original view...

Great work Pepe, I'm only having one problem: CTD when flown against as a target in QC.

I found the glitch. It suffers of crash bug disease and I'm uploading a fix. It's a native CFS2 model made by George Diemer, but some FS9 original features remains.

Pepe, thank you so much. I love this plane, I'm looking forward to taking some early Japanese AC up against it in bomber interception. The interior is beautiful:salute:

Small problem

Great work as ever Pepe.

I have one small problem though. When I try to take off the plane stands on its nose and explodes once I get to 80% throttle, no matter how slowly I advance the throttle and even if I have the brakes off and the stick back full.

Mind you, I think my rig is cursed when it comes to your planes. I still can't load your D.376 in Free Flight without it bursting into flames as soon as it loads!

I found the same challenge with my XB-15's center of gravity too - Under [weight_and_balance] I changed the following numbers to:

empty_weight_CG_position = -5, 0, -8

And the plane stopped that pesky nose-over !

Thanks SC!

I guessed something was out with the balance but it would have taken me forever (if ever) to find it.

many thanks for the fix.

My pleasure.

Wanna know my secret ?

I ALWAYS run new aircraft through a series of programs before they ever hit FreeFlight for testing. Yes, even the best of the best get the "special treatment"

- Mk_MDL to clean up any animation challenges and reset the collision bubble to my personal specs... I like to get right in the other pilot's face.

- AirWrench to double-check the settings, correct any Info / Specifications data, and correct the file to CFS2 status.

- Aircraft Container Manager to set contact points, scrapes and load location(s), and to allow balance reset if necessary.

- DP_Edit to fine-tune the damage boxes and gun / hard points, etc.

And NOW I can take it over to flight test !

Yes, it DOES appear I have WAY too much time on my hands..... but the dogs like it when I sit in the recliner and warm them up after a run in the snow, soooooo..... :wavey:
