Thanks for the explanation. It's a perspective that I never considered.

Here are some shots from the plane inside p3dv4:






Performance is excelent, but NO tackpack available yet. Can use VACMI wich is free now.

Hi Jan,
"to this end" means "to this purpose"
On help desk there were 2 departments: one for "help desk" (which should have been checked by you) and a second "Tornado bug tracker" (now closed)
I'm sorry, i apologize, did not realized before that opening a ticket was so difficult, we have more than one thousand tickets processed, nobody has notified us such difficulties so far.
Warm regards
/SSW

Grazie SSW,

The problem is that there is nothing to check... It's only a window in which one needs to type something... And it's hard to tell *what* exactly to fill in there. ( i thought i'd get a good chance with 'F84F' ... ) And that's probabely why you didn't see my ticket...

Anyway, i forgat about the discount and the ticket and just bought the P3Dv4 version. What the heck. Installed it and got the activation key but it's a long way to Tipperary... No textures....

All texture.cfg's read ....\SSW-F84F-TEXTURES\.... But there is no such folder inside the SSW-F84F folder. Only a 'texture.textures' folder with just the texture.cfg's and thumbnail.jpg's present in all repaints folders. No such folder inside the P3Dv4/Texture folder neither....

So, got the F-84F in P3Dv4 alright but they all turn up black... Do i need a seperate texture pack perhaps ??....

Thanks,
Jan

edit : Please Disregard !! Found it ! Sorry SSW, all's fine now.

Jan, download the file from this link:

EDIT: Saw that you managed it, but will leave the instructions if someone else need it.

Yup, found it afterall. Mea Culpa. Blame it on the Boogie. Thanks Flavio ! ;-)

This sure ain't no Ctrl/E and Off you go project. But once it works it's good fun. Lovely external and VC and flies great too !









Cheers,
Jan

[Dimus]

Yep! No Ctrl-E for this one but the process is quite simple. Regarding the FDE, I believe they have done a very good job. The plane really feels underpowered, like the real one, and good energy management is needed for maneuvering.

Hi,

In case anyone doesn't know and/or is interested, there are a number of scenery packages available for free in the SSW forum which recreate a number of airports and weapons ranges. Great for testing out the weapons on your SSW aircraft, and don't forget the VACMI is also a free download now too.







Cheers,

had a quick look last night after purchasing it, however the up to 2 day wait for the "key" is somewhat frustrating after you have to go through all the checks and balances just to purchase the thing,

hopefully it wont be a 2 day wait because while its in demo mode which pauses every 5 odd seconds is some what of turn off

[jeansy]

I will get back in my hole, the registry key arrived 2 hrs later, so it was only a few hr wait, however noting the time zone difference I guess it wasn't that bad,

[DagR]

Also, Mario announced they are having a vacation this week (5 days) on their Facebook. Vacation ends today I thonk ;-)

What Am I missing

once the engine has kicked over i get this small flame and white smoke and im 95% sure ive followed the guide for startup








I turn engine crank off and engine starts to the centre pos and disconnect the GPU



i'll be buggered if I know what missing

[Javis]

Could be smoke trail from the Jato ?..... Possibly inadvertedly activated in the loadout menu ??....

Btw, i still can't get that loadout menu to work correctly. Does it work consistently at your end ?...

cheers,
jan

[jeansy]

I can get the to load the weapons however i havent attempted to drop or launch them yet

i will investigate JATO, im 99.9% sure its not fitted as its not visible however there might be some that is clickled

[jeansy]

its as soon as I turn the battery on i get flames and smoke

[DagR]

Use a default single engined aircraft first, make cold and dark, then switch to the Streak. I had similar problems in 3.4 and was advised to do it this way. Wait for the aircraft to be correctly initialized with voice confirmation.

some effect are linked to lights, be sure to turn off lights on cold&dark default file.
Also a double "L" stroke should remedy.
ATO are ok and working pretty well,
Procedure on \docs\F84F.WPSPECOPS.CL.pdf, page 12
there is also an ATO Take-off chart in \docs\F84.NormalProc.CL.pdf, page 18
Pilots were used to read and know procedures checklists for their safety.

btw:
we have a pretty fast help desk, the better way to get support

Thanks that fixed it

I tried to log into the SSW forums, however it keep asking me to log in, my portal account didnt work and there was no where I could see to register a forum account

any indication other than "will follow" when the paint kit will be released

[Dimus]

Matt, there is no need to enter the forum for help. Use the "Helpdesk" function in the main site to register your question, right next to "Home". The reply is usually fast.

[jeansy]

Thaks Daf for the intinal point in the right direction

thanks SSW for the correct guidance

I'm going to buy this because I love the F-84 and it looks sooooo well done.

But just dropping out there that you can sell it to me a second time if you do a DCS version. Many, it would be awesome to fly this plane in that sim instead of messing with lame combat add-ons for the FSX descendants.
