Downwind66 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Download file ALPHA_P-51DupX.zip all seems to be working, no manifold pressure, dead! Checked aircraft cfg to make sure it was listed 0 for Constant Speed prop. Tried moving MP gauges from other aircraft, nothing works! Any help on this, I would appreciate it!

Downwind66 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Will download and look at it in the morning. Mr Z - Second time this week that I thought something wasn't working, only to walk away from it for an hour or so, come back and the $&5# thing is working fine. Sorry to bother you, I hope you read this before you go to the trouble of downloading this! Thanks. One thing that I did notice with this download, the tailwheel shakes the whole aircraft on takeoff roll. Once it's off the ground, all is calm like it's supposed to be. Every come across that one? Not worried too much about it, just whenever you run out of people asking for help who really didn't need help in the first place!:confused: Thanks Charlie!

mrzippy Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hey, Rick! This is the same P-51D that I already have in my hangar. No manifold pressure problems and no problem with the tailwheel on takeoff. Good flying aircraft;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Downwind66 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hey, Rick! This is the same P-51D that I already have in my hangar. No manifold pressure problems and no problem with the tailwheel on takeoff. Good flying aircraft;) I am glad yours is without issues. I did get the Manifold Pressure working. Took that bad boy up, tailwheel shook pretty good until I got it off the ground. All was good, yes, nice flying aircraft, then I landed, soon as the tailwheel touched down, I thought I would lose some fillings in my mouth. It's almost like in RW where you would suspect a wheel being out of balance. Oh well, I'll keep kicking it around! Maybe, I should try downloading it again? Thanks Charlie!

Downwind66 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Where are you flying out of? Charleston, SC, KCHS RWY 33. I tried another airport, same thing. I reloaded , same thing. Do me a favor, when you have some idle time:confused: try taking off, have an external view and watch the tail section down to the tailwheel and see if you see it, also, a whole lot of smoke coming from the tail wheel, should not be happening either? Thanks, Charlie, and let me know your findings, if any! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I have done that and don't really see any tailwheel chatter. I do see the smoke. Post a screenshot, maybed of a closeup of the tailwheel without the akircraft moving. Possibly a slight up or down adjustment will clear things up? On takeoff, I reach 60-65 knots fairly quickly and the tailwheel lifts off and off we go! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

I went to the forcefeedback section of the aircraft.cfg and silenced // all the ground bump entries, and now you could eat off the hortizontal stabilizer!! I don't know which one was giving me a problem, I'll just leave them silenced for now! I do like that aircraft! I doctored up the panel a bit as it was missing some items. It is definitely a keeper for me now! [ATTACH=CONFIG]204904[/ATTACH] Thanks - Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Well, it lasted for that one takeoff. Maybe I babied it coming on with the throttle, the time it did work, anyway, I'm not going to worry about it! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Tailwheel lock? Mr Z - Well, I have tried just about everything, but last night, I tried the Shift +G again to lock the tailwheel, opened an external view and it worked like a charm! Tried this several times, and still no shaking at the tail wheel. BUT, what a pain that will be to every time I takeoff or land. Would be nice if I could have a way of creating a shortcut to make this automatic, but then I might be locking it down for landing which might not be a good thing to do? Your thoughts?

Yes, I do too, once I know there are no issues with the download. I tried flying this P51 from the cockpit before an outside view, and it wanted to throw me out of the cockpit, similiar to when a bucking bronco wants to throw it's rider. Definitely told me something wasn't right! Oh well, mystery solved, until the next one! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
