FSX: The 1940 Fokker T.5 bomber released

[Dutcheeseblend]

Here's the first instructional video: how to start the engines.
For the beta testers: this is after the changes suggested by you. Some things might not correspond to the beta you have.

Just published the second video: taking off with the bird.

I expect a lot of comments about the take-off. Yes, original handbooks show a take-off run of merely 220 m with MTOW (some 7500 kg).

Nice video's!

Dear all,

A journey that started nearly 6.5 years ago, has reached its destination: the add-on is RELEASED!
I hope you will enjoy the love that I put into it, and smell the blood, sweat and tears of the unequal battle fought in these planes.

Have fun, and for now, a merciful Christmas!

Kind regards,

Daan Kaasjager

[Cees Donker]

Thanks Daan! Downloaded. I'm going to enjoy this wonderfull addon tomorrow!



Merry Christmas!

Many thanks to you Daan! I've looked forward to this one for a long time. Your attention to detail in creating this masterpiece has certainly gone above and beyond! A Merry Christmas to you as well!

It's truly an amazing model. Thank you Daan for this lovely Christmas gift.

The title of this thread has been changed by adding the word "released", and I made it a sticky (if the moderator allows me).

Cheers,
Huub

Thanks, Daan. I just finished my first flight, and it's truly a great piece of work.

A very nice Christmas gift indeed.

Merry Christmas.

Boy, my Christmas involves things that fly this year! First a vintage set of Jarts from my girlfriend (can't wait for the ground to thaw) now this! Thanks Daan!

[manfredc3]

Thanks for the hard work you put into this one, Daan.

Downloading as I type this.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

What an absolute masterpiece Daan!

[Snurdley]

What a wonderful bird! This is absolutely payware stuff. Since I don't have FSX anymore I ported it to MSFS and it seems to work flawlessly, and looks amazing. Thanks so much!

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!



Guys I'm also thinking about a native MSFS version. Thinking, that is. There's future ahead, there's a toolset and there's a mature yet fresh model.
We'll see.

Daan,

Thanks so much for all your efforts! Been looking forward to flying the T.5.


Quick note: I noticed that the prop rotation is backwards. If you are looking head on, the props spin counter clockwise and not clockwise for the blades to grab air.

Thanks again!

Kevin,

Thanks for your reply!

Prop rotation: so let's see, it's a British engine, so it should turn, looking forward, counterclockwise.
And they don't
So that's a thing to be fixed. Probably in a future version or something like that.

Thanks for notifying!

Payware quality!

[CurlSnout]

This was obviously a giant undertaking; the love that went into it is clearly apparent. The manual itself is a work of art. Thank you for putting so much work into this, and generously sharing it with the rest of us.

Peace,

I do believe this can be fixed under the [propeller] section of the acft.cfg file by inserting "rotation = 1, 1" (or -1, -1 as the case may be). Leave the quotes out.

Very glad to see this released! Looking forward to flying it.

Greetings-

Downloaded her, installed her, took her for a quick spin(it does jump right off the runway, doesn't it?)... All I can say is WOW... what an achievement!
This work should be set up in an appropriate museum on a huge monitor where people can see a piece of history re-created in such beautiful detail.

Way to go, Daan! - Mike Z.

[Dutcheeseblend]

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for the enthusiasm, it's a real delight for me to see this!

One question: has anyone had problems with the radios? I've received messages from a user, who has problems with the radio. The symptoms are a bit strange, and I've never had problems, but maybe I overlooked something.

Mike, thanks! Yes, she's quite jumpy in take-off indeed. The run is in accordance to the original numbers, and the initial climb speed isn't that large. Anyway it keeps surprising me, too.
