Prepare for another sticky guys!!!

[calypsos]

Something has just left Dunsfold (home of BBC TV's Top Gear show) on it's way to your PC and it is not the 'Stig', it is another masterpiece from Dave (does the man ever sleep?) Garwood.....the two seat Hawker Hunter for FSX.

Release is a matter of days (hours?) away, just the final package to check out. Direction to where it will be uploaded to follow ASAP!

[Nick C]

Oooo thank's for the info, do please keep us updated. :applause:

[Roger]

Woof! in fact Woof woof:engel016::applause:

[Flyboy208]

Brilliant! Can never have enough Hunter variants.

Mike :ernae:

[2Low]

Great birds coming at us left and right! It's a good time to be a simmer.

Thanks calypsos for the HU and thanks Dave for your work.

[calypsos]

I am just working my way through the models (7 of them!) and paints (14 of them!!)....not to mention the custom sound!!! No paint kit as yet though, at least not in the original DL to be posted.

I am sure Dave will be here soon to ask any questions, me? I am just a production test pilot and know nothing!!

[doublecool]

She looks Marvelous :applause:

so looking forward to it:jump:

[Scott W]

Looks good. :applause:

Also nice to see my first scenery creation in the first screenshot.

[letsgetrowdy]

You know what, you guys are so generous, you work long and hard creating marvelous aircraft that are often better than payware stuff such as the auster, and yet you don't charge.
Bravo you legends!

[letsgetrowdy]

By the way, where's that Dunsfold scenery from?

Wow, the aircraft looks good in FSX version !
In fact, I've been using the FS9 version on my FSX recently, and I just loved it. Glad to see a FSX-native one, will download tonight !
Thanks a lot, Dave ! :ernae:

That is wierd, I do not use DX10, so it did not come up in the beta!

Ihave the same issue, also downloaded from FlightSim.com.

[JT8D-9A]

Thanks, Dave! Great work! :applause::gameon:

[DaveWG]

Interesting, since I haven't uploaded it to flightsim.com :mad:

Looks like a missing texture. I'll look into it.

[DaveWG]

Yep, a texture got missed from the upload zip :redf:

I've uploaded it to the library here, but in the meantime you can download it here: http://daveg.cbfsim.org/files/missing_texture.zip
Drop the glassVC.dds file into your SimObjects\Airplanes\Hunter T\texture folder.

Apologies.

[2Low]

Oops, forgive me I did not get it at FlightSim.com, a search there only turns up repaints.

Thank you for the fix and the Hunters in the first place.

[CG_1976]

She is a quick little devil. Does anybody know if there are more of the hawkers available for FSX and weapons stores models.

[jimjones]

Thanks Dave for the texture. That fixed the problem.

Also, my apologies for reporting having dowloaded from flightsim.com. I do 90% of d/ls from there. Just let my mind wander when I wrote of the DX10 problem. I'm sure you were a bit perturbed over the false info - sorry.

Jim

[Peritas]

If you put in the new Hunter T the red gauges texture, that is optional in the Hunter F (gauges_LM.dds), you'll have all red gauges!!! It is very beutiful and usefull too...

Luca

[dharris]

Thanks, Dave! Great work! :applause::gameon:

where did you get this repaint? Green is my favorite color. Thanks

[Flyboy208]

Havent tried it out yet, as I've been painting/ testing and am not letting myself get distracted. This evening I'll fire her up. She looks beauty, eh. Came across this. almost on topic. How cool is this

I would love to see this Swiss "Tiger" livery done ...

I loved this plane!

But any way to delete the glass? I mean to have VC without any glass?
I prefer VC with clean glass as this f-18:

Same here I lo9ve the swiss airforce mate, I have almost every repaint and jet used by them, and I almost exclusively fly there in fsx too!!

[JensOle]

Two WiP pictures for this great Hunter:

T. Mk.7 XF310 - FRADU 1982. This was a former RAF aircraft and for some time in the early 80's it had a very faded and dirty camuoflage scheme without roundels.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/JensOle/British/xf310.jpg

T. Mk.8C WT799 - FRADU 1982. As several other FRADU T.8 Hunters, it had got a RAF Hunter camo painted replacement tail fin.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/JensOle/British/WT799.jpg


Both paints started out as simple reworks of Dave's original textures, but they soon evolved into more or less completly new textures. I have used part from his great single seat hunter master textures, but the paint schemes and a lot of the stencils/details have been redone.

[doublecool]

wonderful plane...:applause:

Great Video by the way

does she have a drag shoot like in the Video

[peter12213]

Here here!!!!:ernae:

[barryward12345]

Nice aircraft - great sounds.

One small problem for me - I can't get the gear to raise/lower. Maybe because I am using only SP1??

Barry

She does and it's spectacular :jump:

[DaveWG]

Barry

Although the aircraft was designed around SP2/Acceleration, that shouldn't make any difference to the gear, as that uses standard code.
The only thing that would keep the gear down is if you've activated the gear emergency switch.

[barryward12345]

Hi Dave

Thanks for that advice - but I believe the "problem" is my own fault. I had only just downloaded and installed the a/c - and barely had time to do a CTRL-E start , take off and a quick look at the a/c. My problem was that I was delaying the retraction of gear and it wouldn't retract -- due to excessive speed?? It retracts fine if I retract it immediately upon takeoff. I am going to have to allocate some time to this wonderful a/c of yours.

Regards

Barry

[kjb]

It's beautiful. :applause:

[barryward12345]

Hmmm - definitely must be doing something wrong here. Just can't get the gear to come up with this bird. Got it to work once in a number of attempts.

Startup procedure has been either to use CTRL-E or manual start (turn battery on , start engine, turn alternator on, fly) Have oil pressure OK.

Any ideas please??

Barry

[DaveWG]

Are you using the VC controls or the "G" key?

[Dexdoggy]

DaveWG, you are one awesome maker of all flying things! :ernae:

[barryward12345]

Am using G key - will try VC controls.

EDIT - just tried VC controls . Gear up/down switches work - but gear remains down and 3 green lights remain

Further EDIT - sometimes I can get the gear to work and sometimes not. Have been trying it using a. different models and b. loadup after preloading default flight or not. It's got me a bit confused now.

Barry

[DaveWG]

You're not the only one who's confused!

I think you're probably over speed for the gear. Looking at my cfg, the limits are set a bit low.
Here's a modified cfg, with a higher threshold on the gear damage speed.

http://daveg.cbfsim.org/files/new_aircraft_cfg.zip

Backup your aircraft.cfg, then replace it with the one from this zip.

[DaveWG]

DaveWG, you are one awesome maker of all flying things! :ernae:

Cheers, me dear :ernae:

[barryward12345]

Thanks Dave

Excellent - that has fixed my problem. I wasn't raising the gear fast enough, and the Hunter gathers speed quickly after takeoff.

Barry

[barryward12345]

Nope - That didn't fix my problem - but I have finally found out what my problem was. I was so fixated on trying to figure out why my gear up/down would only work every so often, that I failed to see that half my instruments weren't working either. ( noticed the radios first) -- then realised that the operation of the gear appears to be mapped to the Master Avionics switch function. ( can't actually find a switch for that - but using the generic mapped key for Master Avionics switch turns on all instruments and allows the gear to work)

Now to see if I can fly her :ernae:

Barry

[Dag]

Dave,

Are there some psds available for the trainer model ? I have started some extra detailing of the textures (more rivets and fasteners, mostly represented as bump maps) and would have liked at least some wireframe layers for the T. I want to redo the fuselage specular maps as well as the panel detail of the fwd fuselage of the trainers is different.

Thanks

[DaveWG]

I Dag,

the paintkit can be downloaded from the CBFSim forum (http://www.cbfsim.org/cbfsim/cbfsBB/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=17548).
