Everything seem to work fine with my beautiful new Hog - except that I can NOT figure out how to add the tanks. I get the configuration panel after load, but just can't (after clicking just about everything) figure out how to get it to work. Some kind sole please give me a hint. Bill
Click to expand...
It's a two step process - three step for tanks. First, pick your pylons with the upper menu. Second, pick what you want to load on those pylons per the lower menu. Third, when you add the tanks, make sure you hit the 'refuel' otherwise they will be empty.
 
You mean THAT dragchute??

Mine works just fine. After the wheels hit the pavement, I just hit the little yellow handle with the mouse. Once the plane stops and I apply thrust to taxi, it disappears.

This plane does not have many shortcuts and doesn't follow FSX standard shutcuts except for landing gear and flaps.
 
Assign a button to Flight director (on/off) Ctrl+F for the drag chute. Not tried it in chase view ... but it certainly works in spot view.
 
Canopy textures

Really enjoying the Hog....Was just wondering; wouldn't it be nice if there were some canopy glass textures..like scratches/reflections/little dirt near the canopy frames..it would make an awesome pit perfect!..somehow the glass is too plain in my opinion...
 
undercarriage gear problem

Hi

I have the F-84F Thunderstreak by Skunk Works. Install the ac + the patch and the reg. file withs ended up in my register after dubbleclick.

But I have a problem with the u/c, when I´m activate the u/c level in the cockpit I get a messenge "Hydralicsystem outh", so the u/c only partvise extend and the speebrake dosen´s work.

I have a speed at the final abaute 250mpa.

Any solution on the problem?

Best Regard
DennyBoy
 
Hi DennyBoy,
what you say it's a normal behaviour because at 250Knots you exceed the Maximum speed for landing gear operation, as reported in the checklist we provided with the models (there is a doc folder inside the Aircraft folder in you simobjects folder)
Landing Gear operation are allowed with less then 220Knots
Best regards

Lee, I think you need to establish a couple of passwords to get into their site, if I remember correctly.

Hog

Thank you for your help, but I can get on there site with one pass word and also get on there forms with another, but dont know were to look for the up grade they have? Can you tell me were to look on there site? My PC blocks there email. Lee
 
Downloaded the latest trial version today. NICE LOOKING model!! :ernaehrung004:

I managed to close the canopy, start the engine and do one circuit and set her down again before my time ran out. One question I have is about the flaps operation. I only seem to be able to get them to go fully on or fully off. The 'neutral' position was not reachable for me. I tried both keyboard shortcuts (via my HOTAS) and the mouse in the VC. I presumed it was supposed to operate something like the F-86A, where the flaps are essentially continuously variable, where you leave the level in the neutral position then move it to up or down to extend or retract flaps to taste. so how are they supposed to work?

Cheers!
 
@Lee: about the version 1.2 you can get it on our forum...and after few hours it will be updated also in our market...

@Odourboy: under the simobject folder /ssw_F84 etc...there is the doc folder. Inside you should find the complete checklist and a doc with some hints such the key to assign to stop the flap movement. In the F84 there were continuosly variable. The flaps were electrically attuated and the lever moved they up or down. It is like a momentary switch ON-OFF-ON...so in the model we implemented this function and you need a key to stop the flap movement ;)
Hope this help
