Trinidad TB-21 GT from Lionheart with military variants

[thefrog]

Just noticed this from Bill's Facebook page.
Apparently there's a time-limited 20% reduction

Heck yeah! I have just about everything he has produced, and I love the Trinidad series. Getting this asap! Thanks for the HU.

Why isn't this release a sticky?

[Roger]

Good question Ed...

[BrittMac]

It's nice. Good features, good paints, flies well. Bout to put another hour on it while I have a few minutes.

[Penzoil3]

I bought is yesterday. I love it.

Cool aircraft!

​I'll be buying it just for the Aussie outback paint .

I was about to push the buy button when I read the disclosure.."This package will not work with DX10"

That is a shame - would have purchased it otherwise but I value DX10 and DX10 Fixer highly.

Is this a new issue or update of the previous Trinidad model for FSX? It has always been one of my favourite GA aircraft in both 9 and X.

Lionheart announcements should come with credit card warnings.......

From his Facebook page:

"I originally built one probably 10 years ago for FS2004. This one features an entirely new fuselage, interior, seats and panel are totally new, all built in 3DS Max with high resolution polygon construction."

That is V2

and as owner of V1 ( Tobago+Trinidad ) NO completely no comparison

I too only fly in FsX Dx10 (with Steve's Fixer) and I can't imagine what doesn't work as it is advertised for P3D all versions, which usually means Dx10 will work too.

That might be wrong.
Keep in mind there are a lot of FS9 aircrafts that display perfectly in P3D (without any prop/windows behind the clouds issues) while they appear all grey/white in FSX DX10.
P3D might be DX11, but it's also a different graphic engine.

Then I imagine with the Dx10 fixer it should work, except perhaps it could have the behind the clouds issue but if it works in Dx9 then that wouldn't be a problem as behind the clouds is the same whether in Dx9 or 10.

Before buying it a couple of days ago I emailed Bill Ortis to verify his DX10 disclaimer. He's correct, it does not work in FSX with DX10 - not only terrible glass distortion but really sick performance. Simply switching to DX9 on Steve's Fixer panel eliminates the distortion and performance becomes as advertised.

Has anyone spotted a 'manifold pressure' gauge yet?

Has anyone spotted a 'manifold pressure' gauge yet?

...or Fuel Flow gauge. I've e-mailed LHC Support. Pictures on-line seem to show a combination Manifold Pressure/
Fuel Flow gauge, appearing almost identical to the one in the FSX Maule, immediately below the RPM gauge where
in the LHC Trinidad the digital EGT/CHT display is located. In the on-line pictures, this display was located up and to
the right where in the lHC Trinidad there is a steam gauge version of the EGT/CHT display.

Mind you, these on-line photos are probably of older variants of the Trinidad.

In any case, a minor puzzle, not detracting from my enjoyment of the plane, or hindering my flying it.

Thanks - Rob

There is no MP gauge. According to specs from the actual aircraft, it is handled electronically. I understand none of that, just relating what Bill told me when I asked about the same thing.

[menef]

Very very nice addon.It reminds me when some years ago I flew
11 hours the Socata TB9 Tampico, the cockpit is basically the same. The Israeli air force paint is very special!!! Great work LHC

From what I've gleaned, picture-wise, the lower left gauge in the right side panel is a combo manifold pressure ("M' on the needle) and fuel flow ('F' on the needle) gauge.

[AussieMan]

After purchasing this aircraft I visited Dr. Google and found 26 Australian Trinidads. 25 of the were the TB-20 variant with only one being the TB-21 GT. The TB-21 GT that has been produced here is a 3 blade constant speed propeller model while the 25 models I have found are 2 blade props. Does LHC have any intention to produce the TB-20 model or do I use painter's licence to get more Aussie Trinidads out there.

In the meantime I will do another search.

Just tested an update for the Trinidad which includes the gauge you speak of. I'm sure it will be forthcoming.

The TB-20 is being developed by Just Flight. As much as I love Lionheart models and have many of them (And was really tempted by this one to be honest), I will go for the Just Flight one when ready, simply because I will be able to depict many Greek ones flying over here.

Thanks for that.
