Forgive me for being ignorant but have any of these creations been completed and released yet for fs9? or am i jumping the gun a bit either way great work guys
Kind Regards

You jumped the gun. But no harm done. I know that ALL of us are anxious to add another Milton Shupe Work Of Art to our FS9 aircraft collection.

Hi Milton, This is what I have for the hook settings, you can see with the red cross where the hook catch point is and the small white light is the hook attach point on the fuselage only did SOH-S2F3 so far but threw in cat launch settings for FSX Accel. The virtual hook catch point is slightly in front of the visual hook as it seems it hangs vertically but the visual does not.
One pointer that the hook length is to short it will go through the deck/ground whereas it should stop at ground level with the hook sitting on the ground/deck
One thing I have found with a few trike gear models is the damping needs to be less than 1.0 as when the nose gear hits the deck it flips you over backwards, I have it as 0.900
Replace the existing [TailHook] with this one, copy pasting the [launch_assistance] entry in at the same time.
See what FSX users think of it the cat launch is obviously no good for Fs9 and your hook settings should be ok with the Carrier Opps COPv2 gauges which I would go for in Fs9
[TailHook]
tailhook_length=7.6 ;(feet)
tailhook_position=-20.976, 0.0, -2.533 ;(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical
positions from datum
cable_force_adjust=3.0
[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot = 10.6, 0.0, -5.3
launch_bar_lug = 12.9, 0.0, -7.3
Cat launch hook up point is just behind the nosewheel where you see the white light
Ah, thank you so much Rich. I have sent this data to Fliger747 to test out. That is helpful.
He is pretty close to what you have now.
It is interesting that the cfg does not ask for angle, and that makes the catch point a bit of guess work.
Do I understand correctly that the launch assistance is only available in FSX?
The visual model launch coordinates are 7.178, 0.0, -5.19 but I suspect they are not used.
My pleasure! SIR!
Which turboprop engine exactly is it?
edit; Garrett TPE331 ?
As I understand Milton, you're already on the S-2T. Is a testbed available sir?
Hooky,
Thanks for your interest. :wavey: No, not released yet. Still very much in the Alpha development stage with several members here participating and many more contributing. Our biggest need now from a timing standpoint is for the panel and gauges. Everything else is moving along with gusto.
Thanks OBIO for jumping in with a response and kudos.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your efforts here. Tom has the info you posted and is making adjustments. I realy appreciate your time in research. Maybe ultimately we will get some broader performance specs, maybe from the outfit that did conversions.
Meanwhile, I am working on the CDF variant trying to get the tank modeled. :)
Milton,
The link in MGR's post is for the FAA Type cetrificate data sheet, which contains a lot of performance data, includung weights, CG, and speeds. Still looking for more.
Here's the link. http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory...FILE/A51NM.pdf
