Here is a first.

I think I might be onto something with finding the right soundfiles...

These were originally Lawdog's R-2800 Bearcat sounds modded by our own OBIO to sound more '28 cylinder-ish'
Thanks guys!

Also, Thanks Terry for the modded .cfg file!

Decent video and audio of a real F2G.




Not quite as nice quality.

And one more.

The exhaust manifold system on the F2G was designed so that only two cylinders would share each exhaust pipe. This makes the exhaust note very choppy at idle.

Terry,
When the engine dies on idle you need to adjust 'idle friction'. Not min rpm. That is for reverser and is usually negative (ie: -0.350). This is one tip I helped David Marshall (Opa) with, a month or so before he passed. The Goodyear died on me too, so I had to make the adjustment: 'idle_rpm_friction_scalar= 0.650'. Works for me. The other 3 stay at '=1.000'.

I spent all night flying the F2G and made a turbo-prop and a piston 'super racer' (445 kts) set of FDEs. I need to 'clean' them up a bit and will post later today (tuesday). I am beat and it's time for me to take my pill and hit the hay. It flys 445 kts. Real easy to control (went and 'did' a couple of those red Barns-have it on video). But the FDEs are not aerobatic (not yet). Just easier to fly, more speed, and lands at aprox 55-60 kts. I'll be back.

I see Mr Scrubb posted an F2G-1 and another F2G-2 yesterday. I wondered what the difference was compared to the one we have so I sent an Email, here is the response.




These are 2 completely new models with new textures, corrected flaps, ailerons, nosecowl. The F2G-1 had a low tailfin and the F2G-2 a higher one to increase stability at high speed.
It's now much easier to do repaints too. The old version has faults in the flaps, ailerons and rightwingtexture, sometimes problems with the gunsight and turning prop, viewed from the Vcockpit and much more complicated textures..
kind regards, A.F.


I guess I'll start over.

Well you might want to start with my new FDEs (hehe). Here they are. Zip has read me. Hope the FDEs help. I know I couldn't fly it the way it was. But that's the way it goes sometimes. Enjoy.

Edit: Just went and tried my FDEs with these new uploads (in FS9) and my FDEs work good. Not tested in FSX Accelleation yet, but should be 'ok'.
Edit: Tried in FSX Accelleration and they work good. Too good, actually. It's OVERPOWERED I must admit (but can be fixed). Have to use propdisk.bmp (in Accelleration folder) and then do a rename to 'propdisk4.bmp' for prop fix to work.
