Now the above is an interesting , Observation , that
deserve,s a mention in dispatches ,
Thanks to Scott Johnson - B-24Guy - My P-47 d
was already equiped with Belly in Modification ,
4 lines in the CFG added to 10
and the 1% Team for teaching us how to use Prop
Feather , To stop a prop to safely Belly in ,
Provided your airfile reads
510 / Prop Min RPM =400.0
( works on Cfs-1 Airfiles )
and any CFS-2 you can,t get to Prop Stop !
I was persuing an issue with a shaky aircraft ,
on sim load up , Contact Point,s ? Spring Load ?
Dampening values ??
After 5,000 Lbs added , Or so I thought ,!!
Using Leiston airfield as a long run take off
point for the P-47 ,
I failed a couple time,s , not getting the
gear back down , pancaked in so to speak ,
Didn,t go Boom , fact was prop was still
operating , Humn Belly in mod a bit off
I thought , Second time I hit the water ,
and thought Boom ! But no I bounced ,
Skipped if you like , Then went boom !
Shakes the head , My eye,s playing games
with the cirribrial process ,,
Back to air and a delibrate water skim
pass ,, Hot Damn , you can bounce , the
aircraft and run a prop through water ,
and not go boom , The only thing missing
was the Fx from the water splash ,,
That has to be the Cfg water line setting
you dumby ,
Humn does it work for landclass too ,
Yes Sir ,, it does ,, You can
skip bounce from flat terrain ,
Underline Flat Terrain though !!
And of course if you miss judge the skip
angle , your in a million pieces !!
Well at least you can set her down on
water with a prop running , till she
starts to sink ,
Probably a combination of the Belly in Mod
+ Waterline setting ,
your milage may vary ,
Foot Note
Turned out Only Leiston causes the shakes
Tryed the P-47 on different airfields ,
It,s fine , on others ????
