Looking great! I can't wait to fly it!

Minor texture note, the Lockheed logo is backwards on the vertical fin, the star always goes forward.

Hello All,

No, the turbo and supercharger are both used to supply air to the intake, the R3350 power recovery turbine (PRT) is a turbine because it uses a shaft and gear to transfer energy back to...

Nice! Looking forward to the -38C!

Hello Zsolt,

Thanks for all of your great paints and FS work!

One other issue that wasn't fixed with the patch (at east it still showed up on mine) is the fuel selectors in the acft.cfg.

If you notice a fuel imbalance during cruise or the fuel selectors on...

Hello All,

Just a HU, it looks like the Virtavia E-2C Hawkeye has been released, but for FSX-SE only.

A TO C-97 engine start was 3-4-2-1, but it didn't have anything to do with the pilot or copilot. The inboards had the hydraulic pumps, so inboards were always first to supply brake pressure. The...

Howdy,

Bluff: the correct color for that period is AN633 / FS595 28913 “Fluorescent red-orange”

Some of the confusion is due to the color palate shift from ANA to FS595, which also included...

The areas mentioned are indeed protective coatings for exhaust areas. The vertical stab is for the empennage anti-icing heater, which burned fuel from the cross-wing manifold. The left forward...

The flight controls on the angel are silver-doped fabric. When 52-2718 was originally painted as 45-59595, the flight controls needed to be recovered, so the decision was made to leave them unpainted...

John, Any time, I'm glad I could help.

Here is a photo of the original paint on 45-59588:

Its a YC-97 (B-29 tail & R3350 engines), 45-59595 was a YC-97A (B-50 tail & R4360 engines), but they...

Ice Patch:

An often overlooked detail the C and KC-97 is the ice patch. On each wing, on the leading edge 2/3 of the way between the outboard engine and wingtip, is a patch of flat-black paint. It...

N117GA (52-2718), “Angel of Deliverance” is painted similarly to 45-59595, but the colors do not match. Tim Chop (the foundation president) elected to use a brighter red on the wings and tail, and a...

Howdy Everyone,

Progress continues on the BAHF Angel of Deliverance, 52-2718. I worked on it from 1999-2011, if you watch the gear test videos I was at the FE panel and later the hand crank in the...

So far the testing has covered FSXSP2, FSXA, FSXSE, P3DV1, and P3DV2.4. P3DV2.5 will be checked soon.

The model pictured is a KC-97G, wing tanks, no APX-29A or UHF/DF on the top.

Howdy Gray Eagle,

The two numbers are offset abeam and offset fore/aft.

Howdy All,

According to the 1937 Douglas Pilots handbook pages 6 and 25, it is the hand hydraulic pump.

Looks great!

As WWI subject matter goes, I would love to see some multi-engine WWI aircraft.

Howdy All,

To answer a few questions:

For the C-97, as per the 1-1, the combined thrust of both J-47’s equaled one of the R-4360’s. At 100% you essentially had a 5 engine C-97G. They were...

Thanks for the hard work on the pitching deck utility, I think it is awesome, and adds another element of immersion to the sim!

Rotary wing aircraft have another trick up their sleeve...
