Thread: Rob's Vampire FB5 available

  1. #26
    Thanks so much Rob! I only had 10 minutes to test before work today but from what I can tell, all systems appear to be working in this version. You really went the extra mile updating all the code, and it definitely has that new-mod smell. Seriously, is it just me, or do the textures look even a bit better now, especially the canopy?

    Love this plane. Even though Rob disclaims any flight model fidelity, you can fly this according to the real life POH or online pireps and it behaves just as it should. I'd say it feels more like a Vampire than the SwissMilSim payware product does. Normally I tweak the heck out of the flight models in addon planes, but for this plane the only thing I am doing is dialing back the drag_coef_spoilers parameter, as the dive brakes seem a bit over-effective to me at slowing down the jet.

    Thanks again,

    August

    File deleted according to the link. Edit: Oops, missed this page. It's not showing up in the Warbirds library for me, though it says there's a 4th jet. I'll check again later. Thanks!

    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Golden ?

    @JanKees

    Would you consider painting the gold Vamp N6878D? It has an interesting history documented.

    I might, but I have a few other plans first... and I'm fighting my way through a 90 GB mandatory update, I've been downloading the entire day and now find myself at 60%, groan

    She is a beauty, but my HOTAS throttle has zero effect. Only way I could get the throttle to move, was with my mouse. Also, the parking brake won't release. NC

    you should link your throttle axis on your hotas to THROTTLE 1. Well, I did, and it worked.
    I also set my parking brake to p and it worked fine...

    As I mentioned in a post uptopic, you're running into the throttle controller issues introduced a few sim updates ago. Try mapping your throttle to both "Throttle" and "Throttle 1" in the controller settings area. It will warn you that you're already using the mapping, but that's not a problem. Hopefully that will help.

    nice, a full day downloading some mandatory update of 90G, and now all my marketplace aircraft and all my scenery updates are no longer installed, and the sim can't find my community folder any more. I bet it's gone back to the stupid default settings as well, but I'm too depressed to find out.
    I think I'll take a break from this nightmare...

    Well, I am making progress, but no cigar yet. Throttle responds to my HOTAS, but when I advance it to full, the engine spools down and shuts off. NC

    Sounds like a reverse axis, Pete!

    I don't think there'll ever be a mandatory update that large, that's the entire sim being re-downloaded. Usually that means that the sim lost its link to the community folder. SU11 beta started today, so I wonder if that's what triggered it?

    Scroll through the responses here in this thread and you should see some tips on mapping the throttle axis to either Throttle and/or Throttle 1. Try different combinations and see what you get. Don't forget you have the option to save different profiles, so if one throttle mapping works for one plane and not others, save the profile separately for that one plane to make it easy to switch functions.
