Republic and Chrysler ... Oh Boy

[Milton Shupe]

LOL Yup, what a hoss she was too!

Duckie did the awesome graphics on the XP47H inside and outside.

Not sure if he is available for some bumps and specs but the aircraft is set up to support them.

The Republic Experimentals are the next in the queue for FSX native conversion - the XP47H, XP47J, and XP72.

Here are a few captures of the "H" now converted.

[Roger]

Wow, what a great looking conversion!

[stovall]

At first look she almost has the look of the Bell P-59 Airacomet. Has anyone ever made one of those for FSX?

Here is an answer to my question regarding the P-59A. Looks like Ito san made one some time back.

[Milton Shupe]

LOL Stovall. Pretty much a P-47 everything except with an extended nose for the Chrysler power-plant.

[Julio Garcia]

Great News Milton. Please for P3D 4.4 too. The Best sound i have ever hear in FSX. Simply amazing. Thank you so much. Happy 2019 for you and your family

Hey Milton, I'd be happy to work on bumps and specs for the "H". Unfortunately, for the next few weeks, my time will be very limited due to previous commitments. If this does not negatively affect your schedule then I'll give it a go.

And to you and yours, as well as all our SOH friends, wishing you all a healthy and prosperous 2019.

[Sundog]

Yippee! I've been missing flying these, especially the XP-47J. This is great news. :applause:

Thank you Sir for the offer :-) Your choice of course.

My intention was to do all three packages (xp47h, xp47j, and xp72) and release together. I have just started on the "H" so I have a ways to go yet. :-)

If you get freed up, that would be great.

With the "H" done, now working thru the xp47j; exterior done, now going inside.

This variant has 3 variants of the classic early canopy, and 3 with a modernized one.

Showing some of the classic canopy variants here.

[Milton Shupe]

And, here's the rest of the "J" series converted. Now on to the XP72.

Here are a few shots of the custom canopy and cockpit.

[greenie]

Awesome !!

[Milton Shupe]

Just wrapping up the process and testing. This is looking good; thanks to Nigel for the awesome liveries, and the Sounds also by Nigel.

[modelr]

These are going to be fun to fly. Thanks, Milton, and crew.

[Sundog]

Was there ever a paint kit for the XP-47J? I went looking, but didn't find anything. Although, I did find the XP-72 paint kit.

It's going to be awhile, as I don't have a ton of free time at the moment, but little by little it will get done. Right now I'm working on getting the top camo lined up, figuring out where the wing root paint gets applied, all of the cowl paint locations, the alpha, etc. Then I'll move to the bottom of the fuselage where the paint wraps around at the tail. Once I have all of the paint completed, I'll begin designing the markings. Once I have them designed I'll apply them to the model. Then I'll probably do a Pengie Paint scheme on the XP-72.

[delta_lima]

Thanks Milton,

When I'm back from travel, I'll get the native '72, which of all of this series, is my favourite. That long tapered radial cowl, close-cropped to a large faired spinner is a thing of beauty, so while I've enjoyed it in its portover form, the native version is much appreciated as I'm contemplating a P3D migration in the near term.

I'll add that Steve Bryant (Duckie) did a gorgeous repaint (NACA 029) for FS9 that I anticipate will work fine on the new version. That's the only one I fly it in, but if memory serves he did a few repaints for this family of releases that folks with other interests will want to look at.

Thanks Milton and team, and Steve for the past and future paints that may arrive.

Can't wait to fly this .... :)

Not yet Rohan; see post of December 31st by Duckie. Thanks for your interest.

[Blackbird686]

The XP-72 is definitely a stout flyer. Big, heavy and FAST. I remember testing this one out for FS9 and what a real kick she was to fly, so.... I have added this one to the short list of very few addons that I have for my FSX install. Thanks Milton!

BB686:US-flag:

[Sundog]

OK, I need help, besides the obvious. ;) Look at the silver rectangular on the wing root by the flaps. I can't find where that is located, so if anyone knows, I would appreciate it. Then I can finish the markings and get this out.

Well if Duckie did the skins, they are awesome.

Now was that airplane ever operational in the military? If not, why not?

[Penzoil3]

Wow, how did I miss this ?
Thanks Mr Shupe!
Sue

[Sundog]

Thanks Milton, due to how straight the edges were I thought it was elsewhere and I had moved the paint "down" far enough fuselage wise. Now I can get this finished. :)
Once I get that area painted I just have to paint the rudder, finish adjusting the alpha, then complete the markings and it will be released. I plan on using the markings for Ugly Duck ATM.

[Milton Shupe]

Hi Eric,

Duckie did the skins for the XP47H while Nigel did the skins for the XP47J and XP72.

All of their work is top shelf.

A small run of P-47Ms followed the -47D on the production line, but it is desirable before discussing this to account for the designation gaps.

The XP-47E with pressurised cockpit has been mentioned above, as has the P-47G which was the designation of the Curtiss-built P-47D;

one P-47B was used to test the installation of laminar-flow wings as the XP-47F;

and the XP-47H designation covered two P-47Ds in which new 2,300 hp (1715 kW) Chrysler XIV-2220-1 inline engines were installed to give higher performance, overall length being increased by 3 ft 0 1/4 in (0.92 m) in comparison with the P-47D. This version did not materialise in production form, however, as the Chrysler engine was not put into production.

Far more radical was the XP-47J (no use was made of an I designation) which introduced a closely-cowled fan-cooled R-2800-61 engine rated at 2,100 hp (1 566 kW), and provided with a wing of lighter weight which incorporated six 12.7 mm (0.50 in) machine-guns.
First flown on 26 November 1943, this experimental aircraft was the first piston-engined machine to exceed a speed of 500 mph (805 km/h) in level flight, attaining 504 mph (811 km/h) on 4 August 1944, but despite this sparkling performance production plans were abandoned in favour of an even more advanced project designated XP-72.

The XP-47K has been mentioned above, and the XP-47L resulted from structural changes in a P-47D to provide greater internal fuel capacity.

[Sundog]

Hi Milton,

Can I send you the texture? Because I've painted that area and even lower on the fuselage and it is still showing as silver.

I just ran a test painting only that area on the original template red.

See the attached zip for a copy of that template to test with.

[Sundog]

The area I'm trying to paint isn't the end of the flap area, it's the horizontal portion next to it that is part of wing root. No matter how far down the fuselage I paint, there's a silver rectangular patch there. In your picture, it would be the little blue patch between the red at the end of the flap housing and the jagged red lines you see bleeding to the right of the patch I'm talking about.

Please do a screenshot closeup of the area in question and high-lite it. Because of the nature of this area with polys facing down, up, and left, it could be in one of 3 places.

[Sundog]

Hi Milton,

I've tried the three areas you show to no avail. See the silver patch in the white circle in the attached image. It's exactly the same on both sides of the model.

Thanks, Ken.

Ken,

What model name is this paint for, and what is the date of that Model .mdl file in the folder.

Here's what gmax shows me as to where it is mapped.

[Sundog]

It's the 47jCC model and the date on the model is 1/13/19.

I found the problem! It was between the keyboard and the chair.:banghead:

Did you know there is a difference between the top wing texture and the bottom wing texture? One's on the top and the other is on the bottom! Duh!

Received the FSX native textures today from Duckie, tested out and ready for upload.

I think I'll have an afternoon nap first, then try top get the package uploaded this evening.

Steve put a lot of extra work into this, much different than the FS9 version paints.
I think you'll love it!

Give me 6 hours or so ...

[Sundog]

Wow, that's great news. I received better references for my XP-47J texture, so maybe I'll be able to get it completed this week as well. Also, I should take a nap, but I won't and I'll fall asleep early instead. ;)

Just a note

I had rolled out the XP72 (FSX model) for a flight and notice something with the dive/speed brakes.
they have the effect on the aircraft but they don't deploy like in the fs9 Model... did not notice it on the release date to mention then.

Hey Guys, for those of you who downloaded the XP47H I forgot to include Banana Bob's (Bob Rivera) Alternate Global Environment file. This addition will give a deeper and more dynamic reflective quality.

It can be found on AVSIM. Just search for Bob Rivera. The name of the file is "alternate_globalenvtest.zip." Just unzip and follow the instructions. If you don't want to replace your default file just drop it into the common "texture" folder in the main XP47H folder. That's it.

Steve
