Pitts S-2B

[heywooood]

I just slewed to the grandstand and yes there are camera flishlights going off in the crowd! Never seen that effect done before.

you have not raced the Mustang in the tutorials and time trials missions

you should give that a run cause its pretty cool - and on your rig they would probably run quite smoothly :ernae:

[icarus]

yes new contact point was quite good but i still prefer old one...but no problems i can make 10 different aircraft.cfg on request. about stinson was one that i looked at...we have on next release gloster gladiator that is 95% finished then a dragon rapide, gotha 229 and boeing p26 peashooter + a westland lysander then i am project free...i thought also about hurricane spitfire and of course more golden age and racers....i would also make the savoia marchetti 55 floatplanes flying with other 22 sm55 to chicago. But it's a not easy project...if i can find enough info a stinson it's possible.

[icarus]

i am also curios at hews500d's skins

[jetstreamsky]

if you find some particular skin that you like please post i will see what i can do to realize it and post on download, waiting also your skins.

Thumbing through Airliners.net I came across this scheme

http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled/Pitts%20S-2B%20Special/1383735/L/&width=1024&height=695&sok=keyword_(%27+%22pitts%2 2%27_IN_BOOLEAN_MODE))_&sort=_order_by_photo_id_DE SC_&photo_nr=43&prev_id=1384090&next_id=1381537

It looks stunning, plus it's so unlike every other scheme out there.

[icarus]

[heywooood]

anyway, it was just an idea

[icarus]

yes that it's better and possible to realize. thanks. don't see anymore others...all flying the pitts probably lol...i want to made a video and post on youtube soon.

[icarus]

seems our pitts having a great success of sales i m preparing an expansion for pitss now definitively will be on next week. thanks to all , your contribute help to produce many more product and increase quality.

[Roger]

Glad the Pitts is selling well
Maybe the same people would like the Gamma too?

[icarus]

wow nice pic...i didn't see from this prospective...nice shot roger...gladiator is on the way next product up before end of november...SHOULD

[THibben]

The only way I can start the engine is with Ctrl-e. The starter and the starter switch will turn the engine over but not start it. Is there a fuel cutoff switch?

The fuel line is in the aircraft.cfg.

Thanks,

Tom

[icarus]

the problem was repaired..please check that intoyour aircraft.cfg into [fuel] there is at first place this line

Center1 = 1.7, 0, 0, 25, 0

[THibben]

Icarus,

Yes that line is under the Fuel brackets.

Tom

[icarus]

then you have some settings creating the problem..all other people here had the problem without the line..it was added to solve and included with the new installation...if you read all post here you will see how goes with that problem.i never use ctrl e to start...just move the key for long time.

[THibben]

Icarus,

It appears the problem may be with the start switches. Using Ctrl-e, the switches stay activated until the engine starts. If I click on the switch it only stays up momentarily. Not long enough for the engine to start. I remember this being a problem with another plane instl which had to be fixed. I can't remember what the fix was though.

[glennc]

Found it - it was A2A P-47, FSX update. The fix was to

In the [piston_engine] section,

normalized_starter_torque=0.1
// normalized_starter_torque=0.035

The fix is the top line.

[icarus]

also if here i don't have problem i will try that line to see how it works, many thanks glennc i appreciateyour help

[icarus]

tested it works better now with that line many thanks, i have added also in the installation pack.

In the [piston_engine] section,

normalized_starter_torque=0.1

[icarus]

i have received this from a customer...with few point to emprove he says:

it flies very well, with just the amount of twitchiness that you would expect from a Pitts. Loops, both inside and out, were performed with ease, and it does a really authentic spin, as well as a flat spin. The nose tends to drop a little more than it should in an axial roll, but it flick rolls excellently. I think that it is a little overpowered, and that probably explains why I haven't been able to do a good tail slide or wing over yet, but practice makes perfect

really happy about Pitts flies well so all weeks testing were well spent.

Hi Icarus, I still haven't been able to find where to texture the canopy frame. I changed the color on the 3 white areas I thought may have been it, but the frame still stayed white. It almost looks like the frame may not have been UV mapped to allow texturing. Would it be possible if this is the case to get an updated mdl to allow texturing for the frame?

Here are a couple photos to show what I'm talking about: Notice on this one how the "spreader" bars are white, but the frame is red

and this one where the windscreen frame and canopy frame is red.

[icarus]

ok i m checking

[icarus]

seems that model needs a modify...i asked to modellers to modify and remap that part + to made possible also skinning the white big block between 2 pilots.

[THibben]

Glennc,

Thanks for finding that setting. I knew I had the problem elsewhere but couldn't find the fix. I have the P-47 also and that must have been it.

Thanks again,

Tom
