PhantomTweak Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I have DL'd the "DeHavilland DH 103 Sea Hornet NF21 for Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration" (DeHavilland Sea Hornet.zip), but there is no sort of documentation on the aircraft, such as best range cruise MP and RPM, Best climb settings etc. There are also a number of unmarked but active switches in the VC, and they show no "Help" info when moused-over. Additionally, the plane only uses from one pair of tanks, near as I can tell the "drop" tanks, but I can't see any way to switch to the other tanks (Center, RWing, LWing, etc). ANY help would be awesome, PLEASE! Thanks in advance Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again! Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScatterbrainKid Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Where did you get it from? If it's freeware it probably doesn't have the high level of detail and documentation that hardcore simmers want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Have you played with the fuel switches at all? I set the 2 external tanks to 5% fuel load and the rest to 50%. With the middle and right switch turned on, after the external tanks went dry, fuel was drawn from the remaining tanks. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

PhantomTweak Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Where did you get it from? If it's freeware it probably doesn't have the high level of detail and documentation that hardcore simmers want. It IS freeware, SBK, from this site. In this case, Mr. Zippy, I'm presuming from your picture, that DOWN is ON? Thanks for the help, guys, I appreciate it!

napamule2 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I found this: de Havilland Sea Hornet F 20, Pilot Notes: 16.1 Mb, uploaded 9/2014 https://www.mediafire.com/?fpcqwfgac7sybzv . I opened it and got not response from my anti virus, so it's clean. Did not find FSX version (zip file name is wrong?). Still looking.

keefpee Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Looking at the instrument font it looks like Rob Richardsons Sea Hornet. You could try his website....just google his name. I think the built in logic for fuel burn in MS FS 9 & FSX is to use Tip tanks first, then Aux tanks, not much one can do about regardless of fuel cock position methinks without some very clever .xml.

bm1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 This was my favorite aircraft in last years RTW race. RR Hornet MK1 with SOH mods. I climb starting at 2000fpm, then increasing keeping ground speeds above 300kts. Cruise at 18500ft, full throttle, 3000RPMs gives best speeds. Plenty of fuel for the 750nm max range. Fuel draws from the drop tanks first. Little need to select tanks, they draw evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScatterbrainKid Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 For the record I found these two Hornet/Sea Hornet links. The Bob Richardson one says it's for FSXse, I presume 'se' is second edition, whatever that means- 4 versions- http://www.robertjamesrichardson.co.uk/page4.html Hornet F1 plus Sea Hornet prototype- http://simviation.com/1/browse-Vintage-66-65 PS- Hey PhantomTweak, always doublecheck that any files you download are for FSX Acceleration and not FS9/FS2004 or earlier versions. (but some FS9/FS2004's WILL work in FSX, we just have to try them to find out.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (the Bob Richardson one says it's for FSXSE, I presume SE is second edition, whatever that means) That would be FSX-Steam Edition. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?

PhantomTweak Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yes, these are are Robert Richardson's Hornets. For FSX-SE. Thank you to all very very much for all the help! I sincerely appreciate it. PS- Hey PhantomTweak, always doublecheck that any files you download are for FSX Acceleration and not FS9/FS2004 or earlier versions. (but some FS9/FS2004's WILL work in FSX, we just have to try them to find out.) Definatly and unquestionably FSX-SE models, thanks for the reminder, though :) I climb starting at 2000fpm, then increasing keeping ground speeds above 300kts. Cruise at 18500ft, full throttle, 3000RPMs gives best speeds. Plenty of fuel for the 750nm max range. Fuel draws from the drop tanks first. Little need to select tanks, they draw evenly. Fantastic info, thanks ever so! That will help a lot. I found this: de Havilland Sea Hornet F 20, Pilot Notes: 16.1 Mb, uploaded 9/2014 https://www.mediafire.com/?fpcqwfgac7sybzv . Whether it's specifically for FSX or not, it's good date to have. Thanx muchly! And if I didn't mention you specifically, it doesn't mean I don't recognize and sincerely appreciate your help, for I truly do. it's always nice to see the outpouring of assistance on this site!
