There's Nothing Like Fresh Mesh ...

Who needs a Widgeon when you can have this MALLARD!

 

[Milton Shupe]

Any plans to do the Widgeon ?

Mdk, our focus now is on the turboprop variant, a very nice flyer as well, powerful and fun.

After that is done, I will be back on the A-20 Havoc full time.

True, I just hope I can get the bigger Mallard into the puddles my Widgeon can get into during my bush flights.

You can!

Hi,
One effect I'm seeing is the water draining from the underside as the aircraft rises...absolutely amazing to watch!

Ah, but that is where the GOOSE comes in handy!

Been looking forward to that one!

Mdk,

Attached is the minimum water take off distances; maybe helpful.

Just had a question regarding carb heat and why the overhead levers do not turn on the carb heat.

The problem is that the fuel metering parameter needs to be changed to use a "1" as follows.

fuel_metering_type=1

This parameter is in the aircraft.cfg in the Piston Engine section.

So very glad to have the FSX Port Over version of this G-73. This fantastic sim proudly shows the tremendous effort put forth by all involved.

And thanks, Milton, for the Modern Business Class tail light.

Thank you Sir. Yes, I remembered the light.

Mdk,

Would this Widgeon work for you?

You can find the Joe Binka's G-44 Widgeon in Avsim Library. It is a nice freeware. file : Grumman G-44 Widgeon 2.0, grumman_g44_widgeon_2.0.zip by Joe Binka and Michael Verlin.

Been flying that one for years, thats why I asked about a possible fresh one in planning. If I wasn't so cheap I'de have the JF one already.


The Flysimware one is sadly non-FS9, but boy- whats a beauty.

A personnal upgrade : I put a more modern HSI and VOR1 indicator in my Mallard cockpit. The modification can be made as follow :

in the panel.cfg [vcockpit01] part, replace the line

gauge05=ST_Mallard!VOR1_Indicator, 261,390,187,187

by

gauge05=Cessna!VOR1, 261,390,187,187

and

gauge45=ST_Mallard!RMI_D18, 728,137,201,201

by

gauge45=Cessna208!Horizontal-Indicator, 725,140,208,208

the gauges used are default but you can replace by what you wants ! I'm happy with that now !

As I never use the 2d cockpit, this modification is available only for VC, but I think it will be as easy to do to it in the [window00] part.

We always love to see people doing some creative tailoring to their personal tastes.

Always prefer using VC panels on Milton's projects, too.

Working through the list: just uploaded version two of three paints done last fall for the Alpha release. The paints have been updated and improved as needed for the new models and paint kit: N98BS and N168WS modern and classic model Texaco. There are several more of these I plan to update to the new release. I also have 4096 textures (at 32 bit they are quite large, however) for them all, so if there is any interest in those I will provide a dropbox link in the future.

wellis,

I really appreciate all your efforts producing so many beautiful paint schemes for the Mallard. Thank you Sir!

The pleasure is entirely mine sir! These models are simply marvelous. Just discovered that I messed up on the Texaco upload, but I'll have it up shortly. (also have several in the works for the turbo when it becomes available)
