Ferry_vO replied to a thread Star Trek: Into Darkness in The NewsHawks

My view is that in the early films the SW Universe was still mostly at peace, so to go from that state to it falling into darkness, some comic relief etc. had to be introduced. If you look at the second trilogy it's great how the look transforms as events take place.

Yep..... It was one of the first add-ons I bought, and I had every Dutch F-16 paint I could find installed. Had about 130 entries I believe! :icon_lol: Now if I compare it to the Aerosoft FsX F-16 or even Olsson's F-16 it does look outdated. Still had a lot of fun with it in Fs9 though!

That's an impressive list Mike! I've bought a few helicopters over the years; from Alphasim/Virtavia I have the AH-64D, Merlin, Seasprite, Pave low, Sea King and now the CH-53. I prefer these heavier types over the light helicopters. Much stabler and easier to fly. The Nemeth/Milviz Skycrane/Tarhe is another one I really like.

Ferry_vO started a thread Virtavia CH-53 Sea Stallion. in FSX General Discussion

I really wasn't planning on buying anything after I bought the C-17 last week, but I overlooked the CH-53 and decided that for less than $9 I needed to add this to the hangar, especially since its brother, the MH-53 Pave Low, is one of my favourite helicopters. The Sea Stallion flies just as good, has a nice cockpit and a real nice 'heavy' soundset. At avsim.com I found a repaint pack by Pierre Lheureux which was made for Fs9 but works in FsX too if you add a texture.cfg to each tecture folder.

Maarten started a thread Scenery Central Europe 1961 available now! in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

Available now at Flightsim.com and Avsim.com: FS2004 Scenery Central Europe 1961. This scenery package contains twelve airports in Germany, nine in the Netherlands, one in Luxembourg, three in Switzerland, and three in Austria, providing taxiways and details as they were at the beginning of the 1960's. Also includes the harbors of Rotterdam, Hamburg and Den Helder, all the lighthouses along the Dutch coast and some along the German coast, and the island of Helgoland, created from scratch. Although most of the airports of the package are for civil use, it also includes some Dutch military bases with AI and static aircraft. At many of the airports you will find moving crash tenders and at Amsterdam moving airport buses. Made as close as possible using available photos and information. The goal was to reflect something of the atmosphere and feel of that period, prior to the all-jet era of today. By Wolfgang Gersch, Harry Biard, Michael Schneider, Jaap de Baare, Nikko Yaginuma, Tom Gibson, Bernard Leuenberger and Mike Stevens. Cheers, Maarten

That movie has great memories for me. I saw it in a theater in Keene, NH, on September 25, 1975. I remember the date because I had my first solo earlier in the day.

Pretty cool movie to see on the night of a first solo. :icon_lol: Thanks for the thread and the great shots, John. -steve

Ferry_vO replied to a thread VIRTAVIA SALE in FS 2002/2004 General Discussion

Bought the FsX version of the C-17 yesterday, and for only 17.48 I'm very happy with it! Exterior textures are a bit bland, but the real thing's a big grey whale too I guess! It flies great, not nearly as sluggish as some freeware airliners around; I've seen it do a display a few years ago and the virtual model seems able to reproduce those maneuvres quite well. VC is one of the best yet from AS/Virtavia and the sounds are great too.

Frijns started motor racing only in 2009, finishing third in the Formula BMW series, and he won the Formula Renault 2.0 series in 2011 and the World series by Renault in 2012, both in his first season. For this year he is the test and spare driver for Sauber. He missed the first GP2 race weekend but found a seat for Bahrein and now Spain. Great job!

Milton Shupe replied to a thread Contact points, Smoke in Aircraft Design & Animation

Regarding teeter-totter: It is important to get CoG correct so you have approx 20% of your weight on the tail wheel. To do this, ... If you have the aircraft set as I described above with the grid at 25% MAC and vertically set at the spinner (average pilot weight, fuel, and engine are about at the spinner level), and the cfg contact points are correct, and the engine location thrust is correct to the spinner, then thrust-line should pull aircraft forward without raising tail wheel unless you have brakes on. If wheels are too far rearward, or if engine location is incorrectly above CoG, then you will get teeter-totter.

Milton Shupe replied to a thread Contact points, Smoke in Aircraft Design & Animation

Regarding static pitch and height, their purpose is to load the aircraft in the sim at proper ground height and angle. Go into to slew mode to see how it looks; turn off slew to see how it responds. MS recommends loading less than 4" off the ground to minimize the drop coming out of slew mode. It's okay to set it at ground level and tweak the angle until it load perfectly on the ground i.e. mains and tail gear equidistant from ground. Keep in mind when the aircraft first loads, the suspension is "hanging" and will compress when it comes out of load or slew mode. However once in the sim, if you enter slew mode on the ground, the suspension is compressed. Changing static angle has no effect of the flight model and ground characteristics other than at load/slew time.

Milton Shupe replied to a thread Contact points, Smoke in Aircraft Design & Animation

It would help if you provide a screen shot of the aircraft in gmax with the Grid turned on (G). For simplicity, place the aircraft at centerline, the wings at 25% MAC (1/4 back from leading edge of wing), and vertically at the CoG which should be about at the prop spinner. See attachments. Your Exterior/interior nodes/pivots must be set to 0,0,0 aligned with world. In the cfg, you would have these statements to agree then with gmax location: reference_datum_position = 0, 0, 0 empty_weight_CG_position = -0.0, 0, 0 Once you have the aircraft positioned correctly, use your x,y,z coordinates to get your cfg parameters. Just select a vertex in the tire tread for gear, lights, prop spinner, etc and convert them to decimal feet for the cfg.

I agree; excellent way to get gmax, tutorials, Help, and the registry fix installed. No need to do the MSTS install unless you want to build trains. Highly recommend the tutorials to get introduced to the tools of gmax and the Help system. You will not remember them all but you will know generally that they are there and will do certain functions you need to know. Thereafter the Help system will guide you. Once done, then you are ready to learn the processes involved with building aircraft or scenery.

I would say the benefit of starting in FS9 is the process is a bit simpler and the standards bar is less high.

I would be happy to share any of my gmax source to anyone who would like to use them for reference or parts.
