SOH A-26 Invader FSX Converted Files Download

**fliger747** · May 8th, 2012, 20:14

Just a few minor revisions to the flight dynmics, small tweaks really, but FSX and FS9 do some things differently. Indeed the plane does not leap of the runway, but the initial pull is sometimes problematic. In the original FS9 bird, some minor modification of the very low AOA lift and pitch was necessary to get a realistic takeoff. Part of this is due to the way FS in general treats horiz stabs and elevators, and also prop blast.

A great Milton Classic, glad to see it getting a new life!

Can we get a plain jane aremetal with no markings?

John; Cool, I'll get cracking on the new set, same mappings? (I presume so) will work as fast as possible!

As for the fire eaters one, thankyou! basically use the glass nose C, but make the upper solid, as though it was simply replaced with a metal cover, but same shape...

Will knock up a set of 'Tanker 57' Fire Eaters textures for this on the new base textures when done, and an fs9 version not to leave out our neighbors.

This is just awesome!

John - thanks for the note about bumps and specs on Page 1 - only just got back to this thread today. Awaited eagerly here!!

**VCN-1** · May 9th, 2012, 07:13

Was the K variant updated also?

VCN-1

***Bomber_12th*** · May 9th, 2012, 08:00

VCN-1, I never kept the source files from that project (or the On Mark example), so it would have to be re-done all over again, and right now I just don't have the time I can invest in it - I suspect that it will be done, sometime, however.

I have just uploaded the updated final conversion files to the SOH library, and I'll post the link when activated.

***Bomber_12th*** · May 9th, 2012, 08:55

Okay, here are the final (at least for the time being) FSX conversion files: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...34&linkid=6951

If you already have the previous FSX files installed, just overwrite the existing files with these. If installing the early gun nose variant models and repaints, there is a folder of separate textures included, just for those repaints. Hopefully the installation text is detailed and understandable enough. : )

Whence doing some single engine flying, I did not get a visual feather of the blades. Anyone else?

Cheers: T

That's correct Tom. The individual prop blade rotation is controlled via the prop pitch lever animation, so they only will rotate to feathered position by pulling the prop pitch levers back. The prop-feathering switches use the default prop-feathering code, so they do function, but you'll have to pull the prop levers back, too, for the full effect.

DVJ, that is beautiful screenshot!

BTW, if any moderator would like to replace my first post in this thread, with one with a link to the SOH/current download files, please do!
