TinMouse II with VC (unofficial)

Bjoern

Bjoern

worst developer ever
You probably didn't notice, but I've been doing a VC for the TinMouse II, based on Erick Cantu's model.


Long story short, here is the second release candidate for anyone interested (maybe one, one and a half people around here).

Includes source files, in case you want a pink VC or purple night lighting.
(Or more liveries.)

I advise reading the readme as the installation procedure is a bit...extensive.

Great HU and many thanks Bjoern. :applause:

I reckon if you multiply the interested people by a factor of at least a couple of thousand, you'll probably still be underestimating.

In my view the TM II models are some of the best 737's available.
The 2D cockpit is excellent.

Now a VC - Awesome!

This one's a 'must have' for me - many thanks.
 
I'm not familiar with the TinMouse model. I ran a search at Flightsim and came up with thirty two pages of mostly repaints.
Hmmm.....this is most notable. I'll have to break away from props and give this a go!!

Besides....737's are truly designed for long Northern permafrost dirt strips. All that true potential wasted flying into paved centres like LAX, DeGaule, Heathrow....etc....
 
Ahhh...reading up I see the texture mapping has changed. Still, this is an exciting update that'll certainly generate a lot of interest. Thank you for the head's up, Bjoern.

Nah.

I've switched to RetroAI and my 1980s post-dereg USA just wouldn't be the same without a flyable 732.
I'd probably have to spend years painting most operators' liveries...

Well, it has changed for the better (for me), as full body paint kits are so much easier to handle.
 
Bjoern,
I haven't had a chance to download your VC yet, but it looks fantastic from the screenshots. It's always amazed me that no one has done a really nice VC for 732s....until now. Many thanks.

:guinness:

Well, there's still Aerosim's model, but it's next too unusable from the VC.

In the freeware sectior, I've basically got a monopoly on a 732 with VC now. :jump:
 
Better center post, fogged up/iced windows, analogue hydraulics gauges:

Leading edge and inlet icing:

By the way:
- If you're aesthetically offended by the icing effect, it can be turned off via the "title=" line of each repaint.
- RC4 will be an all-in-one-hoopedy-doodle-I-don't-want-to-install-all-of-this-something-something

Thanks, Bjoern. Looking forward to RC4!
 
Not offended by the fogged iced windows, it just never happened once in many thousands of hours flying there. These are heated windows, no window heat and you probably aren't going flying. Heat not only used for deice, defogger, but also bird proofing. The glass plastic sandwich was kept flexible by the interior heat elements, which increased the impact resistance. Cheers. T

I can't model birdstrikes (convincingly), but let's see how many users actually read readmes. I'm expecting the odd complaint of Air Florida'ing a take-off or a sluggish and blind landing because of neglected deicing equipment.
Normally, icing isn't a force to be reckoned with in MSFS.
 
Despite some accumulated wing contamination while Air Florida was in the conga line waiting for takeoff the main issue that caused the crash was the fact they did not use full power, due to a faulty EPR reading that made it appear that more power was being created than was the case. Partial blockage of the P1 probe at the front made the ratio to the exaughst pressure seem much higher than it was. Most airlines calculated a reference N1 number that should be crosschecked to make sure the EPR was really showing a correct value on takeoff. Most anaylisis of this accident believe that they still could have flown out of the situation with firewall thrust.

This accident was one of those studied back in the old days for CRM classes.

Cheers: T

I know about that and it was discussed at length during initial development (with the conclusion that you can go through great length to try to convincingly model icing effects with all expected airfoil and engine behaviours).
 
I'm having fun with the 737 up in the Arctic around CYEV. In Fsx I nearly splattered a Animated Polar Bear AI crossing the Rwy in my path of landing lol. By Animated Polar Bear AI I mean the animal not the Canadian North Variety lol. I'm loving the improvements made and flying the plain wrapper paint. Sorry unless it's a Canuk Arctic Airline paint I don't fly the paint, just fly unmarked vanilla.

There's a paintkit included which I've made as easy to use as possible. Have fun. ;)

I might do some "north of Detroit" paints sooner or later, but they'd be of airlines from the 1980s only.



You're going to like the icing feature in RC4.
 
Hello Bjoern,
I tried your 737 VC yesterday on fs9. Beautiful, except the gauges did not show up in the vc and neither did the tectures for the seats and the central pedastal.

Can you offer some guidance here?
Thanks,
Sid
