Nice aircraft! :icon_lol: The VC is also very good. Added Nicks freeware propdust effects and aliased the sound to my Pfalz_DIIIA until something better comes along.

[RyDraiggoch]

It also works very well in FSX

Where can I find the dust efx?

http://www.flightsim.com/k/npd_v2.gif FS2002/FS2004 FX: Nick's Prop Dust v2.0 with Nick's ALL WET for Watercraft. This package is an all new release of the original prop dust FX. This gauge/effects package automatically senses the terrain the aircraft is in contact with or flying over and changes the prop dust and water FX for the aircraft's prop/rotor wash based on dirt, dry mud or clay, snow, rain, water, ice, sand, gravel and short grass. In addition the real time surface conditions are also sensed. In example: a dry asphalt or concrete runway will produce no prop dust/wash; however, the same runway with snow/rain conditions present will automatically produce a throttle controlled snow/rain blowing effect. FX files and gauges are included for large and small, single engine, multi-engine, amphibians, helicopters, seaplanes and massive scale military and commercial land/water transports. This package requires manually editing/adding lines in the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files. The README files include very complete and comprehensive instructions with a quick and easy copy/paste file for all the Microsoft prop aircraft and 13 other popular aircraft. Also includes a quick reference file for current Nicks Prop Dust users for the new seaplane gauge and new FX location formulas. Nick's ALL WET is wild splashing and spraying bow/skid water FX designed for amphibians, seaplanes and boats which includes water droplets on the 2D and VC windshield as the plane barrels through the water on takeoff and landing. There is an option to install Nick's ALL WET without the main dust FX package. By Nick Needham. (Previous version had 3308 downloads.)

Sorry to bump this thread again - its been a busy day at the Pond......

Gary Jones just uploaded his RAF Mk1a V8 sound file for Ted Cooks Be2C -- taken from videos of the last remaining engine (on a Be2C) operating in New Zealand

Yet another beautiful British aircraft from Ted, Yay! Thanks for the links Leif, working on a prop blur for it, if I come up with anything worthwhile I will upload it here later ...

Cheers! Mike :ernae:

[Flyboy208]

Well this little bird is lovely, but indeed slow ... Still glad to have it. Including a better, yet not perfect prop blur for it - I suspect I could make use of the props "Banana Bob" did for Robert Bruce's "Brisfit" ... alas, I think those files are no longer available, so for now I have concocted something temporary ...

Cheers! Mike :salute:

[Z-claudius24]

This is a beauty. Been hoping someone would do make one of these. Thanks Ted you did a fine job recreating it. :salute:

OOh and got some Gary Jones BE2 sounds to go along with it, Thanks Gary! :jump:

Wow! She fly's just right too! I'd love to build a real one of these! Thanks again Ted!

[Z-claudius24]

Brilliant aeroplane, thanks for prop mods but I have found that the scrape points are not active:sleep:

To activate, change max_number_of_points from 3 to 9.
I also altered the points to match the wing skids rather than the wing tips.
point.5=2,0.00,-16.1, -2.51, 1800,2.0, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.000, 0.0, 0.0, 5 ;bottom wing
point.6=2,0.00,16.1, -2.51, 1800, 2.0, 0.00, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.000, 0.0, 0.0, 6

I have been messing with all the little tweaks you gents posted here....

Here is a shot of the "Quirk" in some nice company

[magoo]

Ummm.....that'd be the company that was oft asked out on a date to protect our girl from those bloody Eindeckers....

I would understand that the "BE" prefix refered to Bleriot Experimental...? If so, that at least gives a good cue as to where infant aviation had just come from, and were it was well on it's way to....
.....However....I doubt anybody could have forcast the advances in aeronautics and warfare between 1915 and 1945.....what with jets, B-29's and atom bombs soon to arrive.

Sweet looking old girl, that Quirk. Ain't she? I just love that corseted waist......

Funny how fashions come and go.....

[Z-claudius24]

Hi,


I doubt anybody could have forcast the advances in aeronautics and warfare between 1915 and 1945..Little ot discussion ... but ... :)
Between 1915 and 1918 (or even 1914) .. all was there for forecast the advances .. in warfare and aeronautics if a next war have to be (1940-1945)
The Great War was the great revolution of the technics and tactics of war in Europe.
All was "for the first time"
For the first time was :
The trenches war
The submarines war
The tanks war
the aviation war
The chemical war
The use of radios for communications
And all those new tactics and technics have show great advances between 1914 and 1918
The only new things in 1940-1945 was the atomic bomb and a new aircraft and bombs propulsion mode (the reactor) and the radar

[OleBoy]

I love all the interaction and modifications to better enhance an already good thing
....Which is why I like it here at SOH so much!!

Thanks everyone :wavey:

[dhasdell]

If you look closely you'll see that in the last pic the Be2c is sporting a serial. That's available at Classic British Files too.

...I suppose....but for Johnny down in the trench looking up at a BE2c recieving a shredding from a Fokker E.III, that was futuristic enough. He'd probably grown up without electricity, on a horse-drawn alley or lane. Walked through the market each day or pulled it from the garden, into an icebox if you could afford one. Newspapers, not radio....He'd not look ahead for a swept wing jet or the radar installation that was tracking it. Mind you, there were folks would've convinced you in the nineteen-sixties that we'd be colonizing Mars just about now, never mind big screen TV, cel phones smaller than star trek communicators, or kids who think running a wire with a ball on it through your nose, tongue or lips is an acceptable fashion statement. (I dreamed of a computer powered flight simulator when I was younger.....but nobody predicted it's arrival. One day I bought an ungodley expensive new box made out of linen and dope...or was it plastic....got on the internet and found this semi-secret electronic society of virtual aviators....)

Look at the Quirk. Both she and her opponent Fokker "E" are only so slightly removed from Bleriot's 13, or Levasseur's Antoinette.....it amazes me they bolted guns to them.

Yeah...it was all moving fast. It still is. Then...airframe ideas, materials research, internal combustion engine variation still being explored....only slightly removed from steam technology that was still on the upswing.....
...Now...electronics, micro-systems, piercings,.......beyond science fiction sometimes. I miss the linen, leather and castor oil that was all gone well before I was born.....sometimes.

Thanks, Ted Cook.

It evokes a lovely old thing, as long as nobody's shooting at us. A good plane for a picnic basket, a pretty girl, and a hop, skip and jump over the greener fields of summerly France, away from that part with trenches, the artilleries, and those little Fokkers.

:guinness::medals::guinness:

AH's Eindekker chasing down the Quirk -- but little does he know above and behind him is Biggles in his Dh2!!!!!

Easy to install and many levels of play ...

[OleBoy]

I finally got to take her up. A fantastic piece of work!
...Looks like A.F Scrub is moving in on the quality of Stuart Greens workmanship :ernae:

[OleBoy]

Holy cow. Not A.F Scrub. Sorry Ted. I was hitting the bottle a wee bit as you can see from my above post. OOPS!!!

My apologies.

[tedcook]

No problem Don -[ But can I have a pint of what you are drinking?]
