Excellent !
I had the previous version, which was great. Can't wait to see it flying in FSX

Ok I have installed this newest version, and made a very quick test flight.
FSX user be informed, some modifications are needed:
- the alpha channel of the glass texture has to be edited, else the windows will be opaque
- the alpha channel of the prop texture has to be edited too, for the same reason
- the starter torque parameter in the aircraft.cfg has to be increased to 1.2 (default value is 0.2), else the engine will simply never start

Very cool plane, I love it. Thanks Vlad !! :ernae:

I have just installed it in FSX. From the exterior view the windows seem to be a bit opaque but from in the cockpit the view outside is crystal clear.

Still got to do the cfg file yet.

Cheers
Pat

Great plane! Beautiful rendition! It could do with a new prop blur by Cazzie, but for the rest: Wow!

Bill that is a nice shot. Gives a feeling of "Being-There" kind of.

Thanks, Mike.
But fortunately, I didn't have to go there to take this shot! :d

That's a good question.
I had the same exact problem, the magneto switch will not trigger any movement from the prop. I had to go with the keyboard. M to select the magnetos, then + + + + +....

How the heck do ya get the wheelchocks to disappear?

***Daube*** · January 10th, 2010, 11:12

Press CTRL+SHIFT+F4 to set the mixture to max ! The wheelchocks will dissapear

***Cazzie*** · January 10th, 2010, 16:06

claudius, I have done a new prop blur for the exterior, but all my tries at the VC blue come out looking alike.

Vlad already has a good prop animation ratio, but the blue prop going to black was just not right.

I have attach the new exterior prop blur below in the zip. I think you will agree it is far superior than the default.

**PeteHam** · January 10th, 2010, 16:24

Thanks for the updated prop textures Cazzie

**Wing_Z** · January 11th, 2010, 00:07

Better than I remember!

And thanks for the prop, Cazzie!

**fleurdelys** · January 11th, 2010, 10:06

Very nice prop texture, Caz.

It complements this beauty very nicely...

Anybody know if the textures for the previous Colt would fit this baby or is it a new paint scheme altogether ?

OK ! I've found the answer to the first question and it is "NO" it doesn't fit ... Now, for the second part of my search...

Is there a paintkit in the house...

Cheers,

Fleurdelys

I finally got around to doing some proper flights with both the wheeled & ski versions. Fantastic flying bird.

Thanks Cazzie for the prop mods!
