Hi DVJ, this aircraft looks incredible. I have been trying to download it from britsim but not been able to successfully since yesterday. I was simply wondering how you were able to download it, perhaps i could also give it a try?
Thanks,
Sid

Sid, I used the alternative download site. Look for the link further back in the tread. Download was through Rapidshare.

Fantastic work---thank you very much for this outstanding aircraft!
One question,is ist possible to set the view point a notch back?
Even with zoom set to 0.30 i feel to be too near to the panel.

When in the VC, press and hold Ctrl, and toggle the Enter key. This will zoom you out.

Hi Michael,

You can move the view point [or eyepoint] back permanently by altering a line in the Shackletons aircraft.cfg :

[Views]
eyepoint=18.100, -1.45, 5.10

Change to

[Views]
eyepoint=17.400, -1.45, 5.10

Altering the first value moves the eyepoint back / forward,
the second value left / right and
the third value up / down
 
Thank you Rob for a lovely freeware aircraft, and a rare one too, and it downloaded in seconds from the Britsim website.


If the non-developing monsieur's knew what went into a project like this there would never be a single negative comment said. ever :salute:
 
Thank you Tim on behalf Rob and the dev team over at the Pond - I have had the pleasure of watching the likes of him, Dave Molyneaux , Keith Paine, Paul Gausden
work for seven years ...I know how much they put into them. Although I am disappointed in one thing at the moment , That Ted Cooks beautiful little Beardsmore Wee Bee which was also released at the same time, has been overshadowed, a shame because Ted produces some wonderful and very eclectic models -- this one has the Cherub sound files made by none other than Gary Jones attached.....if you like low and very slow this is for you

I've just noticed a dedicated AI Shackleton is now available in the Britsim File Library. Downloaded it on the first attempt.

:applause:
 
Britsim invite all who have had difficulties down loading the Shack and the Griffon sound set to give it another try. Our Gracious host Rob has made some major server changes and we think you are all going to be pleasently surprised. Thanks to those who stood patiently by and supported the site while we had major problems giving you what you wanted.


Cheers

Now with my FSX fixed I can give my 2 cents worth here...

This FSX shack release has given me sleepless nights (phone calls at 2am from Aus and NZ). There are many Flight Dynamic issues with this aircraft but i am not here to slag it off. Many of the issues could have been avoided with a little research. Visually the model is very good! only issue i have is that the taxi lights dont drop from the wing....

I have merged her with our flight dynamics and .air file and now she flies like a real shack and not a 210T :jump: Our panel also sort of merges in and all the features works :)

Any legit owners of the FS9 shack wanting to add the flight dynamics to the FSX model can PM me :icon29::guinness:
 
Good morning all,

I'm just having one slight issue with the merging of the FS9 FDE into the FSX model - she starts the mush/wallow in winds above 16kts.... any ideas?
 
Eyepoint (position within VC) adjusted to position that gives maximum SA and equal to position of pilot's in external view:

[Views]
eyepoint=17.850, -1.45, 5.40
//eyepoint=18.100, -1.45, 5.10

If meaning zoom backwards, the "Minus" key works for me. The "Plus" key works to zoom back in.

Also, open the Kneeboard, select "Keys" and scroll down to "View Commands" for more options.
:ernae:

What part of SLC are you from? I went to Westminster College back in the late 70's-early 80's.

You can also re-position your eyepoint in flight:

CRTL BACKSPACE = Forward
CRTL SHIFT BACKSPACE=left
CRTL SHIFT ENTER=right
CRTL ENTER=Backwards
SHIFT ENTER=up
SHIFT BACKSPACE=down
