Rob Richardson's Cessna 310B Released

[falcon409]

Hi All, I hope I didn't read something miss in Rob's read me's, but I cannot for the life of me get a pilot showing in either his 310Q or the 310B. My planes just don't have pilots. Is there a key I need to activate or something? Thanks.

The pilot is a permanent part of the airplane as far as I know, nothing special has to be done to have him show. I'd say try reinstalling.

Just uploaded six new paints for Rob's wonderful 310B. One is N364AP which won Reserve Grand Champion Contemporary at EAA Oshkosh in 1993. Four of them are based on the magazine or sales brochure someone posted earlier in this thread. Typical 1950s style... love 'em or hate 'em! The last one (for now!) is OO-SED wearing the Sabena Air livery (flight school?). I hope you like them...enjoy!

Here's the Sabena livery and N364AP... more pics to follow:

Hello,

With the 310B the pilot disappears when we shut down rhe engines. The pilot comes back when we start the engines. A nice annimation effect.

Have a good day

Love those 4 'fifties' schemes, Mike. Thanks for sharing!

[b24_witchcraft]

Excellent repaints - thank for sharing them Mike!

[IFlySWA]

Wonderful! Thank you very much, Mike.

Mikew - these are all great, evocative 50's paints thanks.

I have again varied Peter Watkins' so very nice G-reg design, just changing colors with DXTbmp > GIMP > MS Paint . .

Hello,

I have modified the scrape contact points in ordeer to have appropriate attitude on ground after a belly landing.

; SCRAPES
point.3= 2, 0.20,-16.50, -0.50, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 0, 0
point.4= 2, 0.20, 16.50, -0.50, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0
point.5= 2, -5.04, 0.00, -1.70, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 9, 0, 0
point.6= 2, 2.40, 0.00, -1.90, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0





Sure we should try to acoid this situation but sooner or later we may be forced to a belly landing. Several C310B has survived after such event. So I hope such happy end if one day or another one forgot to descend the landing gear.

Have a good day

Hello,

When one start the engines of the C310B the smoke effect appears in front of the engine cowling. To have the smoke effect at the exhaust output one have to introducce the following modifications (Do not forget to save the original aircraft.cfg file umder another name)

[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type = 0 ; 0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=Turboprop
Engine.0 = -2.0, -5.5, 0.0 ; (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum
Engine.1 = -2.0, 5.5, 0.0 ; (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum
fuel_flow_scalar= 0.9 ; Fuel flow scalar
min_throttle_limit = 0.0; ; Minimum percent throttle. Generally negative for turbine reverser


As you can see I have modified the engines location. On my computer these modifications have no eefect on the dynamic behavior of the airplane during flight.

Have a good day

Has anyone replaced the prop disc textures with a more transparent one?

The model is one of the best freeware models I've ever downloaded and also one of my favorites.

MIKEW has prop disks in his beautiful 310Q Sky King repaint, I'm using them for all 310Q paints now.
Perhaps they would work for you in the 310B model if he doesn't have them in his 310B paints.

That's Peter's G-AVZS blue/white paint pimped by me - using MS Paint! I need to finish it and am now off on a business trip. Peter - hope you don't mind my posting the screenie or sharing the repaint based on yours with others requesting it.

No worries! Share away - they look good! Have not been near a computer for a week but have now finished the kitchen installation and will get back to painting once more. Looks like there are a lot of US paints now, which allows me to get on with other nationalities. I will however paint one US example, as I have already promised it to a previous pilot of the aircraft.

Hello

With thiese modifications the visual effects when one start an engine are the following:

Hello,

This screen shot ewas taken with the option "ignore crashes and damage". If one choose the options "detect crashes and damage" and "aircraft stress cause damage" the reedsult after a belly landing wwill be more like that:



WE can seee a real crash of a C310B at the end of the following web page:
