Yes, I remember now. So try this.
For the HMS bounty project, besides Fstramp, having Tacpack enabled (P3D only) was the second reason why the FSUIPC speed forcing sometimes failed. With the than current version Tacpack. So maybe a newer version of Tacpack solves this, but at least try to disable Tacpack temporarily and see if this solves the problem.

Does disabling Tacpack also solve your problem with the "jumpy" vertical takeoff ?
Because takeoff should be very smooth (and slow) if you move the throttle very gently forward...
You should also be able to hover a few feet above the ground, at the proper throttle setting (somewhere between 65 and 95 %, depending on actual total weight)

I'm back with another video tribute to this amazing machine. Hope everyone enjoys!

Thanks for the suggestion.
I will try this, because yes I'm using TacPack, and yes I'm also getting that weird full screen mode menu with the Osprey !
The question is: how do I disable TacPack ? Do I have to edit the entries in the DLL.xml, or can it be done via the menu ingame ?
If you open your TacPack Manager there is a box to check that will prompt you if you want to run TacPack whenever you start FSX. Once you do this, you get to tell TP if you want it to start every time you load FSX.
Must be a great download, but for me as "oldtimer" impossible to download. As I love my privacy, no other download options than the old fashioned ones. It's a pity that this guy doesn't use a good flightsim-site.
Have fun with it,

Up and running in a few minutes. Wow, what a great kit this one is.

Installed it this morning and while I like it, there is a bit of a learning curve for me as I mostly fly 30s and 40s aircraft. I reset some of my joystick buttons for tilting the rotors. Just seemed like that would be easiest for me.
Got the paint kit as well and lot's of possibilities there.

From what I'm reading and experiencing, if your mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel, you can't access a lot of the functions needed to start it up. At least I didn't pay money for it.

This is a great plane! Congratulations to the designer! Once one gets the hang of its controls, it can land anywhere! Great fun and very nice modelling. I'm sure it will evolve even more.

This thing is pretty aggravating even when reading and going by the so called manual. When I first installed it, it worked great. Flew it around a while, landed it and closed out FS. Ever since then, I have battery on, Avionics on, APU in the run position, but the glass cockpit is dead, and I can't get the nacelles to raise up using aerilon controlls. It's making sounds like the engines are running, but who knows with a dead panel? And the rotors aren't turning although I did cheat and take off in a different aircraft, the switch to the Osprey in flight to see if it would do anything. I got a little prop blur to go with the stopped props and glided around a while before getting intimate with a tree top.
I've got to be doing something wrong, but no idea what and to be honest, the manual makes little if any sense to me. This is why I'm not a fan of FS aircraft that are systems heavy and have the usual FS shortcuts blocked from use.
I'll tinker around with it a day or so and if I can't get it to work, it's headed for the trash bin.

I just want to chime in and say how grateful I am of the team that is working on this, and I'm so glad they released it. I am enjoying it immensely. My hope is that people will temper their comments realizing this is a free aircraft that is not being made by a company, but a small handful of gentlemen that are doing it solely for the love of putting this machine together. Go easy 😊
The work being put into this thing so far is fantastic. Unfortunately some are using FSX, some are using FSXSE, some are using P3D, and some are using Windows 10, some using Windows 7, even some people using Vista and XP. When you're building an extremely complex flight simulator version of an extremely complex real life aircraft, there are bound to be some issues here and there. I'm grateful that they released it now-- they could have withheld it for a couple more years or even decided to make it payware at some point.
It'll get there. So much of it is already done so well, I have no doubt.
