Topic for virtual aerobatics

[anatolpopov]

I think we need own topic for virtual aerobatics, previous discussion have been in topic of my video.

So could we talk about aerobatics, planes, repaints, airshows & displays, competitions, flyings, tours and other events here? Of course screenshots are also welcome.

Nice video Tom!

Also great shot Antton where is that your flying from and is it an addon scenery?

[peter12213]

Some shots of me training at Wickenby also, we should call ourselves the Wickenby Aerobatic Club lol!

Everybody ok for Saturday and for the next leg of our journey?

Pete.

[hews500d]

Great idea for a topic! Since we're talking about aerobatics, does anyone know where any aerobatic boxes are in FSX? I know there's one just to the west of Fond du Lac, Wisconson, are there more?

[peter12213]

What do you mean aerobatic boxes?

[deathfromafar]

I was wondering about the boxes myself when the topic came up locally a while back but forgot. I don't think there is any?

Peter, they the imaginary boxes for which a aerobatic routine is performed(competition). It has lateral and vertical boundaries which the routine must stay inside of. The markers on the ground may vary. I haven't kept up with competition rules of late so I wonder if there are now electronic AB Box boundaries nowadays.

[hews500d]

I think they're still using the markers on the ground for the boundaries. I can't recall where I read it but I thought there were more than the one at Fond du Lac. Takeoff from rwy 36 and fly 270 degrees, probably no more than 2 miles you will see some grey markers on the ground marking the boundary.

[Matt Wynn]

I THINK there is one near Reno... guys had a PC Crash over the weekend, gotta re-install everything... should still be OK for the weekend though.... fingers crossed

[anatolpopov]

There is several boxes in FSX default. And you can add them also by youselves with Whisplacer.

You find locations of boxes in Learning Center -> Aerobatics

Peter: It's FinlandX and you can find it from fsnordic.net

[Txmmy83]

PC just kept flashing up a blue error box on boot, not allowing me to even log in to sort the problem, re-installed my OS and Formatted my C Drive... 5 year old PC is dragging it's heels now, i need to upgrade soon... (If i can stop spending as much on the mrs) :jump:

good news at least... i get to keep peter out of trouble for 10 minutes at least.... you know what i'm gonna ask don't ya Papa?

[anatolpopov]

Is paint kit for Zlin Z50 still available somewhere? And Yago9 paints would be also good to find...

shiny warbird.... well it's definately a modern take on a warbird scheme :wiggle:

[Txmmy83]

any idea how I can tone down the shine ?
has it to do with alphachannel or the specs


BR
Tom

[peter12213]

Ok Matt no problem! @ work till 5 here

[Matt Wynn]

any idea how I can tone down the shine ?

BR
Tom

alphachannel Tom, the alpha on the spec map controls the amount of reflected colour, have a look at my pearlescent E540 to see what i mean...

[Txmmy83]

ok :)
thanks for the info that Spec maps can have alpha channel too


BR
Tom

[Txmmy83]

Matt,

even with alpha full white there is shine could it be hardcoded in the model?

FSX AND 9 RE-INSTALLED... good to go... repainting the spitfire scheme.... well i might just have to PRU Blue one with Invasion Stripes...leg 2: Lee-on-Solent to Caen (and time permitting Paris) we'll need to be airborne at least an hour earlier to give us a chance, so 1400GMT Departure (1500 in Austria Tom) gives us our best chance...

have just looked into time Lee-on-Solent - Caen took when flying the ARX-5X around (28min)
saturday like last weekend?
why ask is because of the reason that I have to plan my weekends activities

BR
Tom

[anatolpopov]

Does somebody have AusSim Glasair? If it's good I'll buy it.

[Txmmy83]

I am not sure if the Glasair is native FSX
read the reviews on fspilotshop they are not all positve

BR
Tom

[peter12213]

14.00 saturday is good for me, and sorry Matt got a bit carried away on St Paddy's day last night, will do that job for you tonight bud!:salute:

Ohh and I have the Glass Air and it is a great model, works fine in fsx and has a nice VC! I wouldn't call it an aerobatic aeroplane, sports maybe but it is fast and you can roll it and do some manouvres in it, but I wouldn't be doing tail slides and Lomcevak's in it!

[Txmmy83]

14:00 GMT Saturday confirmed :)

BR
Tom

[Matt Wynn]

Excellent, make sure you have the American Cemetery installed that Tom found... should be good fun, and it inspired me, slowly i'm building Atlantic Wall bunkers for them warbird pilots... Edge 540 re-installed, and repaints back in :D just gotta speak to you Peter once work is over...:jump:

[peter12213]

Ok bud no bother, and Tom can you post a link for the cemetary scenery please!

[anatolpopov]

Matt, have you edited Bücker Jungmanns prop texture for me?

Just remember it. If you can do it during weekend?

Yeah will do buddy, you got a link to download the jungmann... (Lost her in a pc crash....)

[Txmmy83]

here is the Cemetry
MAAM Cemetry Scenery is an older FS9 but works in FSX only trees look strange from some view points and some are misplaced but when installed it gives a good navigation aid to Omaha Beach since it overlook the beach

[peter12213]

Tom do you have msn, I need a chat to you and Matt I will be there for 14.00 but I need to talk about aircraft, I'm not flying the Edge nor any aerobatic aircraft over normandy I think we should fly that leg in warbirds, I'm flying the A2A Spitfire Mk.I of Adolf "Sailor" Malan and I want you guys to do the same, I mean I'm flying the A2A Spit you can fly the same or any, Real Air, Classics Hanger, Aircraft Factory, Vertigo Studios, FCS or Sky Unlimited over the beaches of Normandy!!! Why fly aerobatic FREE crap when we can fly the warbirds, I'm not disrespecting my Grandfather by flying free crap in missing man formation especially without "corkscrew" Rintala in an A2A bird lol! I know its an aerobatic tour and we've been practicing in our Edges, Sukhoi's and Aerworks' but it doesn't seem right to me to fly Omaha and the graveyards in anything but warbirds! Next leg YES but not this one ehh guys?

[peter12213]

And Antton I have a fully FSX Bucker 131,V1 Jungmann, I even have a Bucker Bestmann mate but thats by Lionheart lol!

Quite a fun Bird, I can't remember who did the prop and Swasitca for me to be honest!

[Txmmy83]

Agree with you but we should wait what Matt think about;)
I have the Real Air Spit , Flight1 P51, Classic Hangar FW190 Early, Vertigo Studios Hellcat, Aircraft Factory Corsair, A2A Messerschmit, FCS Hawker Heroes, A2A Spit, IRIS P40

and even in those planes aerobatics are possible :)
Peter Where can I get that A2A Spit Paint?

sorry no MSN here;(

Do you know is this just ordinary C152 or is it aerobat?

http://www.justflight.com/microsoftc152.asp

not sure think it is a normal C152 but it can be definately tweaked to be the aerobatic capable aerobat :)

just test flight it and I was able to do loops & rolls without any modifiying of the aircraft.cfg only prob is that motor may stop if you went on the back too long

I was thinking is somebody interested to fly formation in bi-planes. I mean planes like Stearman or Waco. 2 or 3 planes would be easy (start). My computer is now broken, I can't fly now but soon as I get it fixed.

[peter12213]

My computer is also down at the moment, luckily I have this one at work to be able to post!

[anatolpopov]

I watched some videos on Youtube and I really think we need E300L for simulator!

I wonder is this guy doing this Extra any more? http://www.flightxtreme.com/d-exir.htm

Have you tried old FFS Extra 300L in FSX? I can't try it now because I haven't working computer (for sim) yet.

It would be also funny to start VA which offers aerobatic rides on E300L. Also it's great that tandem cockpit doesn't make it look lazy.
