Does anyone have the payloads weight configurations for the UKMIL Buccaneer? Their site is down and I'd love to have some wing stores for this still-good plane...
We just posted part one of the how to on uploading new files to the Library. Part 1 covers adding new files. Part 2 will cover making changes to your the uploads you own.
Questions or comments please post them in the regular forums. Which forum is that... Well it is the one you spend the most time in.
Thanks the Staff
Library How toMaybe I do not understand your question but the payload weights are listed in the aircraft.cfg file, you can simply set the weights permanently by updating the aircraft.cfg or add them on the fly when you start a flight:
Flying Stations Buc has not surfaced anywhere?
I have that as well (bought it back in the day) but the payload config doesn't work in P3Dv5, sadly.
FYI the following Flying Stations Buccaneers manuals:
- Flying Stations Buccaneer S1 VC.pdf
- Flying Stations Buccaneer S1_20110826_PN.pdf
- Flying Stations Buccaneer S2 Manual.pdf

As far as I can tell, the Flying Stations Buccs have custom coding in the Dynamics_Gauge.dll module to simulate extra lift when the blow switch is on and aileron droop exceeds 5 degrees. For the S.2 (Spey engined) variants, the use of bleed air for the BLC system also reduces engine thrust a bit.
Thanks. I couldn't find anything in the manuals.As far as I can tell, the Flying Stations Buccs have custom coding in the Dynamics_Gauge.dll module to simulate extra lift when the blow switch is on and aileron droop exceeds 5 degrees.

Daniel, the Flying Stations Buccs will not work properly in P3Dv4/v5. The model can be loaded but many (some of them critical) features will not work as they depend on 32bit DLL modules. To name a few things which do not work in a 64bit sim:
- Catapult nose up tilt and launch dynamics
- Flaps/aileron droop and flaps control
- Loadout configurations - weights
- Fuel selector switching between tanks logic
- Radar

It is quite a nice package. I am currently trying to get all the buildings onto Lossimouth. Just downloaded all the librarys at Iansdarkcorner though I have Ted's in my ADEx library.Thanks Henk - that's (unfortunately) what I figured for P3Dv4/5. One of the few lingering jewels I mourn that I have had to lose out on.
For the UKMIL Bucc, I had to add wingfold and tailhook in manually into the aircraft.cfg, at least the version that I downloaded. It's actually a really nice external model. The VC in its construction is decent, though I wish it was possible to do basic navigation more readily; heading and course setting changes are really awkward through archaic 2D panels - ideas on how to improve that would be delightfully appreciated, for those of us who either have no Bucc in P3D or who haven't bought the Flying Stations version for FSX.
Don't get me wrong - it's a great package, and the included repaints address a very wide swath of the Bucc's schemes, even if the S.1 is not covered, and only 1 S.2 variant is covered. With a little polish, this could easily be the best of the UKMIL models.
Cheers,
