Allen,

Very interesting aircraft, thank you!

[Allen]

Got the idea from http://modelingmadness.com/review/allies/gb/ranvamp.htm page. Found it while working on the F-94B.

Also I can quickly convert the model back to a Vampire if some one wants to tackle the CFS2 Jet engine.

To make it work in FS2004, do I just add the following into the aircraft.cfg? I really like the 'odd' aircraft, & would like it in FS2004.
ui_manufacturer=De Havilland
ui_type=Spider Crab Mk1
ui_variation=Merlin Prop mod

Your going to need change the sound.cfg. Right now the sounds are alias to the CFS2 P-38. Everything else should work just fine. It will be listed as Unspecified in the Aircraft Manufacture drop down. Adding the code you posted will have it listed with the De Havilland DH-88 'Comet'.

Thanks, I've done the changes & changed the sound, as well as making sure all gauges are there.
I've not tried it yet, but I think it's good to go.

Are there any other 'different' CFS2 planes that I can try?
I have the B25 or is it the B17 with canards as well.

Thanks again, Robin.

Just the Crimson Skies aircraft I have made. You can go though everything if you haven't already.

Thanks, Allen, I do have most of them. I just edit the config file, check that all the gauges are there & look at the sound file.
I really enjoy the unusual stuff.
