Hi, I have a question for owners of VS's TBF. No news here about flight dynamics. Is it ok? What with start / landing on the carrier deck with hook? Is it ok too? Remember than Panther has a problem with landing on the deck.

The carrier landings are fine, no problem at all. It dosn't even nose over when you catch the like some other models.

 

[Deano]

A patch will be released over the weekend to address the sound in the cockpit and also the cockpit lighting.

Thanks Deano :salute:

Thx Deano.

Very important thing:
Is it possible to add glass effect in VC cocpit like the others models of Vertigo of developers? As You see no "glass" view from inside. It looks little strange in FSX time (no glass it was in FS2000). This small thing allows to feel in the cabin with more real effect.

Is it possible to add this small feature in nearest patch ?
Example bad view from VC of Avenger. No difference beetwen cabin is close or open .
Where are reflections, dirty glasses ect.?

 

[Barnes]

it would be apprechiated if that was added and remove the turret animation please. Also there appears to be no glass in some of the lower rear windows and the lower gunners position.

Finally I have had some time to try this out. I was very impressed with the carrier trap/launch. The trapping was easy (I think there was a bit of luck involved, because my approach was not good). I was very impressed with the cat launch. It was easy to line up and it shot off without half the parts breaking (typically caused by weaknesses of FSX).

This plane is also making me think. Take-off with a full load of fuel and ordinance is quite slow and requires careful handling as I would expect from a heavy plane. I have just begun to learn to land it smoothly (last one was nice).

ive edited the lifejacket so it doesnt appear so bright and day glow

if anyone wants it i can email it to them

In this case You can use Supercharger but I checked Today, not sure now (too short test) but for me it isnt work - no additional power.
Here start of Avenger from deck (as You see is very short) . 0:26. Must check start with small load and distance for take off.

Yes, You have right. I noticed too same (outside of model).

Hi,
Did small mod with new view for TBF of Vertigo Studios for owners of this model.


Virtual cocpit:
- new start/landing view (the pilot is higher on the chair like in carrier operations)
- new radiooperator view (navigator)
- new gunner view (down view)


Outside:
- new Attack View for bomb/torpedo (use it in the air)

Installation: did backup Your aircraft.cfg and put in folder VS Avenger this file and overwrite it http://yoyosims.pl/TBF_View_Mod.zip
Enjoy!

Thanks Jeansy - its a great improvement:salute:


I would have been happier if they had used the Daunt's pilot model..

 

[Mithrin]

Juist a quick edit.

 

[Barnes]

Very good Mithrin

 

[jeansy]

Very good Mithrin

my thoughts as well

any news on the paintkit dean or bruce?

 

[PRB]

I really like this plane. Only have one small issue. Ok, two. But first, a query: what altitude am I at in this screen shot … ? :mixedsmi:

 

[warchild]

uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh.. 240 feet??? yeah, that definitely looks weird having the little hand mark off the 10's of feet instead of the long hand..

 

[Barnes]

Well - the big hand is on the....
