mrzippy Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 This should be a winner since the V.2 was so good! SOH sever is busy at the moment and I hope MJ will upload at this site also. Downloading now. Will post a screenshot or 2. Nice interior! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubby56 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Got it ! She's an absolute beaut - looks, sounds and flies really well. Version 2 was good, but this is soooo much better with the new VC. The addition of checklists add to the immersion IMO It's hard to believe it's not payware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandjfrench Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I don't think references to the Mallard belong in this thread but seeing as how I didn't bring it up here goes. I downloaded it a week or so ago and discovered that in the cabin by clicking on the table you'll either have your laptop or a pack of smokes and a strange colored drink. And the damn thing is so leaky that you have to turn on the bilge pumps pretty often unless you want to sink. Well, it gets too heavy to take off anyway.

Double J Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Is anybody else getting a black blob when you throw out a paratrooper? Nice plane but it's definitely still a Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did put the included effects into the effects folder. EDIT Javis just poted the BMP files on SOH.

mallcott Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Is it anything like Post#6! If it's anything like you just posted, then you opened the wrong doors. The paratroop door is the inset door and that - and only that - should be opened before flight and left open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallcott Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Yes this is a real pleasure, even at this first beta stage. Couple of things I am pondering though 1: Why on earth is there a VLE for the landing lights (see Monitor speed card)? they're embedded in the leading edge, not swing-down units! 2: I think the aircraft FDE is currently overpowered or underdragged. I'm still seeing acceleration in a 1,300 ft / min climb at 120 kts when just 1,000lb shy of MTOW. The initial acceleration to Vr is probably a good few seconds too fast and at low IAS/ high power/high AOA/high drag with Gear down at T/O I'd expect to see a very small rate of acceleration until the aircraft is cleaned up and set to a modest 500 ft / min climb rate. She's a flying shed, not a rocket-powered roller skate! 3: External model doesn't reflect (sorry...) the window positions - open side or front windows and they don't move in exterior view. There is however, a great change in perceived sound when in the VC with opened side windows. I'm sure these will all be refined over time, much as the Super DC-3 was, but it's all worth it just for THAT VC. It's a work of art!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 OK, OK, I get the point;) Shift+E+4 will also open the paratrooper door. Now in adjustment mode to actually have them exit somewhere near said door. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfrench Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hey zippy, I think it's a bit too early to get into "Adjustment mode". Try to hold off until 4 or so. If I can you can. And oh, by the way, while screwing around with the C47 views when I moved the view point backward and looked aft I saw 2 strange green boxes following. At least one seemed to be located pretty close to where the cargo door would be if the cabin was simulated. May be related to the paratroopers. Jim F.

Messing about with a public beta is likely a waste of time. If the previous version and the Super DC3 are anything to go by there will be lots of enhancements to come from the developer. Best to leave things well alone and just enjoy the freeware... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitehow Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Does anyone have an updated effects file that they could post a link to here? I thought I saw a post about this. I have no beacon ray light and no panel lights and no engine smoke on startup. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's dark, you need to turn on the cabin light. I think the engine startup smoke effect, startup=fx_Cranky_DC3_TFF, was overwritten with another effect with little or no smoke. UPDATE: I reinstalled the original fx_Cranky_DC3_TFF from the C_47V.2. Engine startup smoke is back! My beacon light atop the vertical stabilizer flashes nicely.

jandjfrench Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi, Is there a missing texture; the black area at the bottom of the fuselage near the front? It looks the same in Zippy's picture with the paratroopers as near as I can make out. If I could fly inverted that might shed some light on this but I thought I'd ask first. Jim F.

mrzippy Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Ya...sure, you betcha! Yumpin' yiminy there sure is a black panel. Remember, it's only a Beta Version release. Played with the paratrooper exit position so it looks a little more realistic! Also replaced the engine smoke effect with the Version 2 effect, so that's back!
