When the arrestor wire retracts, the castoring nosewheel throws a wobbly.
How does one fix that?

Great video!
Slick approach/deck landing.
Why have you been hiding all this talent for so long?

Double ration of ouzo for this Gentleman.

(Yeah, you lnow I loved the music too!)

[hawkeye52]

Progress. Thought I'd never get the top of the chevron on the back of the nacelle to match up accross textures! WHEW! Almost done now, bit more weathering to do on the wings, then the docs and it'll be ready for upload. Then quick to follow will be one each from the sister Squadrons, VS-72 and 73.

Thank you for the Ouzo, Nigel!
You know, I am a little embarrassed about the music... FRAPS just records whatever it "hears" and I always have music of some sort on the computer.
It was only after your comment that I realised I had all but stomped all over your splendid soundtrack.
Ouch! I will make another, better, clip with the mike shoved in the exhaust to make amends...

Get on with you...you rascal!

Don't edit. The music reminded me of bouzouki, and I was pleasantly tickled/chuffed.
Don't change a thing mate, loved it!...wish we had more of this kind of input.

Don't s'pose you'd give us a nice one for the Avias would you...or are we getting greedy!

[Maarten]

The superb birds, all those beautiful liveries , the awesome sound (a real masterpiece, Nigel). It is such a fun flying these pieces of art everytime I want to fly another type I have to find an excuse for myself not to fly one of the Grumman "7". I think I'm hooked! ;-)
Thanks everyone for spoiling me.

Cheers,
Maarten

Hello Lads, first things first, Congratulations, drinks and all these sort of things to Milton and Team for another magnificent bird.

Got a problem though: I cannot make the Autopilot work at all, the position of the switches change position, lights blink, etc but it does not engage NAV or GPS. tried to change it installing the Manfred's Constellation radio suite and will keep altitude and heading but again, does not engage NAV or GPS, also the DME will not work.

I cannot find the manual either, Milton said it was somewhere in the thread but cannot find it (am I thick or what! )

Can somebody give me an idea as of where to look? Or what I am doing wrong? I like to fly it by hand but from time to time AP is useful.

Thanks in advance Chaps!!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Ooh does it have a hook?
Just kidding, I have just the very bit of Czech scenery for that one...

You do not say which of the 6 released aircraft you are flying, or if in FS9 or FSX, but I just tried the E-1B, C-1A, and S2F-3 and they all worked for me.
Maybe I have something different from you?

So, did you set up a flight plan to fly GPS?
Did you activate the AP on the console once at altitude?
Did you select the GPS/Nav switch on the console?

That's really all you have to do.

If you you disengage the GPS/Nav switch, then you can trim manually on the console for pitch and heading.
Does that work?

More details please.

What does your Radio section look like in the aircraft.cfg?

[p3aewguy]

Working on a COD repaint. Still have the nacelles and cowlings to do and some adjustments on the fuselage.

Looking great, Dave! Would you consider toning down the blue a bit? Seems too bright compared to the real thing.

Beautiful work .... keep after it

[Ascua02]

Thanks for the answer Milton, here are the details:

Using FS9
The models I'm talking about are the S2A-CDF and the C1A (original, not installed the cargo yet).
Radio and Autopilot in the Aircraft.CFG as per the update you posted for the C1A in both.
The flight plan was set in the FS9 flight planning.
Normally I take off manually and when I receive the instructions from ATC (normally still on runway heading and starting to climb) I engage AP in the console, the NAV function and then GPS for lateral control. Climb control will depend in the type of AP in the aircraft in question.
No problems reported trimming the aircraft.
AP engaged in the console.
Tried both setting the NAV/GPS switch in the console or the popup electrical panel.

That is about it, I'll try to reinstall them both to see if there is any change. Maybe it is a problem with my rig!

Once again Milton, thanks for the aircraft and sorry about the nag.

Saludos

[Milton Shupe]

Did you install the update?
