You Canucks and the Yanks, have a much wider choice of warbirds to ride in. I fancied one of rny birthday this year and the best I could fly in was a Harvard. But lack of finances stopped that for this year.

BTW there was reality TV prog on over here a few years back called Bomber Pilot, where a hand ful of pilots vied with each other over a number of weeks to earn the right to fly the Canadian Lanc (the BBMF one wouldn't take part). Over the weeks they flew a number of warbirds to work their way up tot he Lanc. the penultimate aircraft was the B-17 Sally-B...not bad. The winner flew to Canada to fly the Lanc there.
 
see beau gotta move here to cannuck .... free medical of sorts , alot of dressed up dames and gents ........


but most of all we have the the greatest team in the world


the toronto maple leafs ....lol
 
Reminds me there's something in that video I'd like to be able to do in CFS - set which engine in nos 1 to 4 starts first. Starboard inner first is historically correct for the Lanc, but unless we put up with an odd engine control sequence we're stuck with port outer first in the sim.
 
Thanks for the link Jeff!

Tom, you can see the engines if you open the m3d in a hex editor. I haven't tried but I wonder if it's just a matter of renumbering so that engine1 becomes engine3 or whatever is required?
 
That can be done Clive, just that in flight the engines will follow the new numbering sequence and shutting down number 1 will stop the starboard inner, not the port outer!

Has this been tried Tom? I thought that the sequence would follow the engine naming conventions in the model so it would use the new numbers whether you were starting or stopping them. ie. it's not interested in their position, just the numbers.

Or am I missing the point? (as usual!) :)

Possibly! Sitting in the Lanc cockpit there are the four throttles, four prop pitch, four engine rpm and four mixture levers, but in CFS3 we don't have mouse access to the individual levers (unlike a well-built FSX pit). Engines are instead individually controlled by keyboard sequences.

To vary settings on engine #1, select engine 1 (shift-1) and then adjust throttle, pitch etc. Which is engine #1? From the pilot's seat in a real Lancaster, the port outer. But if the model's engines are numbered to have a correct starting sequence, engine #1 will be the starboard inner!

I know, only a real anorak would care ... I'd just like the option! :wiggle:

BTW, the correct startup sequence is seen in the video - 3, 4, 2, and engine #1 - the port outer - last!
