Savoia Marchetti S.79CS & T just uploaded

Hi Manuele,
Thanks for your reply....I really must go and read the Manual properly before attempting to fly across the Atlantic. What I am finding is that Control + Z doesn't act as altitude Hold..is this something that cannot be achieved?

Hi Andy,
With Microtecnica-Siemens (S.79T & SM.79P) You can hold the altitude only with trim, the Salmoiraghi-Sperry (S.79CS) works as the original in Lockheed Vega and DC-3.

Hi,
Thank you Manuele; what I often find is that one 'click' of the trim adjustment is way too much and we are launched skyward or the opposite...I have enquired before about lessening the effects attached to the controller but..no joy. It's a shame, as you can alter the sim rate and it would be useful to be able to change the controller 'power'.

Hi Andy,
Please refer to old S.79 post (in SOH/FS2004 forum) with a lot of answers by FSAviator and to the "Understanding the SM79" file, the FDs and the aircraft.cfg are the same (only the fuel section was changed) and the same are ALL the VC animations.

:wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey:
 
The clean I-ALAN is as good as finished, now I only need to write a read me and upload the textures. In the meanwhile, just for fun, I did a simple "what-if" texture. When the Corsa M.M. 355 was not handed over to ALA Littoria, but given to their German allies to use as fast VIP transporter it could have looked like this.

Not finished because I still want to add somethings, for which I need my imagination. But already a small preview. (and when you post screenshots, you always see things which should be improved....)

The real D-AZUR was a Junkers G-38di, which crashed on 26 June 1936 at Dessua (Germany) due to a technical failure.





Cheers,

Definitely one of the best planes out there, and definitely the best vintage one. Keep up the good work! :medals:
 
My late friend ,a German fighter and later Bomber pilot flew once the S.79**.He was very impressed about speed and manouverbility,just loading capacity was much smaller then Ju-52 he also flew often

So the "German" paint makes a tiny sense

Roland

** His words-from Malta campaign-I was not there obviously " As usual the Italian fighter cover never arrived and we flew without torwards a British Convoi to Malta(Ju-88).Close to Malta our best friends Spitfire's appeared as always and we were shot down.Fortunately my crew and me could bail out safely and a fisherboat took us to Ragusa,where we were flown north to our base.Just only Italian Co-Pilot was available so I had the honour and joy to fly ,after a tiny administrative hassle ,the S.79 what was a rocket vs our Tante Ju"
 
Thank you for the nice story Roland, but I don't think your late friend flew a Transatlantico. When I was reading about the I-ALAN, I realised it wasn't really a luxury to be a passenger on board of this aircraft. The large fuel tanks and cargo left not much room for the four (!) passengers. No wonder the SM.82 was more common on the route to Brazil.

Cheers,
Huub

Huub you are right

No Transatlantico- but a SM.79 II Torpedo Bomber

Italien officer said no German can( is allowed to) fly an Italian plane-my friend says I am Austrian - so a compromise was found
 
I has been quiet around the clean I-ALAN, but there was a good reason.

While gathering information for this repaint I found some things which puzzled me. Together with my frined Manuele and his "Italian connections" we have been able to solve some interesting puzzles. For me the most interesting one was the mystery of the axes (fasces) markings on the engines.

Pictures from the I-ALAN and other aircraft from the LATI showed that background wasn't just simply blue. A friend of Manuele found the answer and was able to find a picture from an old model, which showed the correct colours. It is definitely a "tropical version" of the well known side marking. The markings were reproduced by Manuele.

Below images of the finished textures which I hope to upload tomorrow. I don't know whether I'm allowed to announce this already, but Manuele is working on an update of his textures for the weathered I-ALAN. Which is updated with all recently found information.

Enjoy the pictures,
Huub

Very beautiful

For me ,somehat most pre 60's ( including pre war ) Airline liverys are much more nice, from graphic point of view, then the modern ones

( old Eastern before Hockey/Braniff before monocolour/Panagra/Alitalia to name a few)

Looking forward to reopen Brasil route with a NEW plane

Thank you

Roland
 
Great model and textures of a little known aircraft! These team efforts are among my person favourites to take part in as you learn a lot from working with other people. But I must confess that I would be much more interested in the bomber version.
 
Variation on a theme.

I hope you guys don't mind, but reading this thread prompted me to try the SM-79 Sparviero Bomber; and I wanted to share these screenshots with you, I've continued the 'sorci verdi' theme too!

Jens-Ole,

The SM79 Spaviero is already available for years. Although it a FS9 model, it works very well in FSX as well. Its a beautiful model and has a great VC.

Cheers,
Huub
