Basler BT-67 FSX (freeware 5th July)

[CheeseStrike]

Think you already noticed our small project
Manfred Jahn, Hans-Joerg Naegele, Alexander Metzger and me (Daniel Furnkas) are working on a freeware Basler BT-67 for FSX.
We started in June 2011, so nearly one year passed since then.

Think we'll be finished soon, no release date yet!

Some preview pictures:

[dharris]

Have been watching this for awhile now, looks really good, and as all of the projects that Manfred has been involved on, it will be a winner for sure. Keep up the excellent work, Don

[Sundog]

After after watching Frozen Planet, I was wondering how this was going. It looks great!

The funny thing about all the latest TV shows is how they use reciprocating engine sounds for turboprops in flight. It always makes me think of the movie "Airplane."

I'm definitely looking forward to flying this around Antarctica, among other places. Check Avon Brochure (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?avon/) and Builders Warehouse Specials (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?builders-warehouse/).

Thanks for the preview.

There was a BT-67 Topic before

sure we'll have the Fantasma version
http://home.arcor.de/edug/bt67_28a.jpg

3 different versions to be created:
BT-67 regular
BT-67 ski
BT-67 Gunship

[imn2sims]

Looking forward to this one for sure! It looks fantastic!

[cheezyflier]

i agree, looks great, how will it be on frame rates?

[Roger]

Great news and thanks!

[stansdds]

Looks beautiful!

[ST0RM]

Fanstastic work Sir! Having had the oppurtunity to work with the gunship variant of the PT-67, I'm a huge fan of the aircraft.

I'm looking forward to flying it in FSX. Thanks for the hard work!

-Jeff

[peter12213]

Great work, I've always been interested in this version, I think its the sleek look those engines have combined with the longer nose.

[sim-paticissimo]

Thank you for your work! A clever choice, it's an interesting plane not yet well implemented with a very beautiful shape.

[Wishmaster]

Hello guys,

this project really caught my attention right away! A BT-67 is exactly the kind of aircraft we could need at Alaskan Winds VA, where I am active. So, will there be a paintkit for this aircraft? Would be really nice to have layered *.psd textures to create your own repaints for this bird.

Best regards,
Markus

[butchm]

Excellent news, really looking forward to this one!

That shot makes me wonder what it's gonna take me to create an effect, or effects, for the Airborne Support livery, to replicate that RW pic.
Kudos for the teamwork you folks have shown getting this up to where you are...Awesome! :applause: ...Don

I can't wate to slap some paint on this one. This is the USFS paint that I plan on doing.

[sim-paticissimo]

Absolutely outstanding! I'm looking forward to fly it!:icon_eek:

[cheezyflier]

i would really like to get this, i'm wondering how it will be on frames, compared to the default dc-3?

[skyhawka4m]

how about these guys?

[lazarus]

i would really like to get this, i'm wondering how it will be on frames, compared to the default dc-3?

Well, as a yardstick, my framerates for Manfreds Dakota were identical for the default DC-3, so I scraped the default DC-3's and replaced them with Manfreds C-47's. had to leave the default titles and what not so the AI traffic didn't get frakked up, but thats what the thumbnails are for. Works like a charm, and I've some GOOD C-47s for AI.

[CheeseStrike]

how about these guys?

The Stevens Express Leasing Inc BT-67 (N845S), nice! I'm working on it ;)
The DOS Air Wing BT-67 (N707BA) will follow, too.

Updated cockpit, now with more detail!
http://h13.abload.de/img/vc_3qxf3t.png

How will it be on the frames ... hmmm, we really don't know yet, beta test will show!

[stansdds]

That's just cool! My guess is that it won't be quite as frame rate friendly as the stock DC-3 cockpit, but you never really know until it's tried.

There used to be one of these in Faibanks, Alaska and I did ride on it once, and some friends had flown it. Last year I saw this same aircraft in Kabul Afganistan in the same blue and white paint job, but with the small chin turret for observation.

[pbearsailor]

I parked next to one of these years ago on the ramp at Burbank and it was so impressive.

This one is just as impressive, a really fine job. Thanks so much to everyone involved in making this.

How about the irony of having what is probably the best DC-3 in FSX driving around with turbine power? :icon_eek:

cheers,
steve :wavey:

[Stefano Zibell]

Incredibly good, and a great achievement. Thanks fot the gift! :icon29:

(This is WAY more badass than a King Air)

[PZL Belfegor]

Thank you, it's very neat rendition of BT-67, the ambient shadows in VC certainly add to atmosphere! I noticed two small bugs, the propeller 2 RPM gauge shows propeller 1 RPM (easy to fix in .xml) and the landing lights beam changes direction depending on bank - maybe a glitch with attach points?

[mjahn]

Thank you, you are right and very well spotted. Bug #1 either escaped us or we introduced it late in the proceedings, bug #2 we did notice but don't have an explanation for yet. I actually voted for keeping it as it looks as if the pilot swivels the lights to see where he is going.

[PZL Belfegor]

Thanks for the answer! At first I thought the lights were pulsating (some planes employ that as it is said to increase their visibility and even scare birds away), but then I noticed connection with plane bank. Unfortunately, this sometimes results in impossible angle like on the screenshot:
http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/8492/wai5db2tmp.jpg
One way to fix is to use the effect as standard light (aircraft.cfg entry) - it stays aligned forward, but looks a bit different than the effect attached in model (rightmost on the picture):
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2944/waideftmp.png
I'd like to take the opportunity to compliment you and your team on the manual and system simulation including those used in case of failure - hardly ever freeware plane features those, great job!

Any ideas about a free soundset?

[fxsttcb]

Any ideas about a free soundset?I already had Bill Shultz's CV-580 soundset installed, so that's what I'm using. Tweaking the volume(s) in Options/Settings/Sounds gives me what I want.
They aren't correct for the PT6 engines, but, I really like their lower "note" a lot better than the available defaults.

"FS2002/FS2004 Allison T-56 Engine Sounds", 580sound.zip @flightsim,
and the update; "T-56 Allison Turboprop Sound Update for L-188 Electra, CV-580 and P-3 Aircraft", t56_sound_update_cielo.zip @ Avsim.

There are other soundsets proffered in the BT-67 thread at Avsim: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/378810-basler-bt-67-turbo-conversion-dc-3-released/page__st__25 ...Don

Just started, but it will take some time.
Our city is hosting the worlds biggest triathlon, I'm an assistant, so no time for it this weekend.

[Ferry_vO]

For sounds I'm using the "dehavilland_dhc6_twin_otter_the_real_deal.zip" by Christoffer Petersen, found at Avsim.com. Nice sounds, slightly 'heavier' than the MS default sounds.

And while everybody seems to like the cold, I found one in a slightly warmer climate:

I did something similar.
I have the Aerosoft Twotter.
For a quick fix, I just used the sound.cfg file from the 'Aerosoft Twin Otter 300 modern' folder.
It's already aliased to the main sound folder for the Aerosoft Twin Otter.
Simple cut and paste.

[Firekitten]

awesome work guys, brilliant! Just tried her out and love her :) Question; where can I get my mitts on blank textures or a paint kit? I'm itching to do some painting!

[Dain Arns]

If this has been reported elsewhere, my apologies, I don't go to many other forums.

This is a very minor issue that doesn't bother me in the least.
Just thought I would pass the bug on.

Noticed last night that when I turned on the panel lights, the graphics for the fuel transfer panel got a little 'wonky'.
All of the links lit up and covered over some of the buttons and switches, as in the pic below.

[euroastar350]

Another alternative soundset is the TSS KingAir sounds for FS9, works very well and is what I use on my default King Air 350 in FSX:wiggle:

[seawing]

A really great aircraft, I must say! Thank you all on the team!
One thing, is it on purpose that the gunship lacks the guns?

Cheers,

Seawing

[mjahn]

Thanks again, wonky texture had a blocking layer missing, now corrected and in bugfix file, see link in post #86.

Yes, no guns on this gunship :( or should it be :)

[seawing]

Well, I thought, that's what a gunship is for ... isn't it?

Seawing

[Victory103]

Somehow missed this one and just spent 2.0hrs in it, beyond amazing job and I can't believe this is FSX native and FREE!

Might have to add a CS weapons pack to the gunship, love the paint.

[PZL Belfegor]

Thanks for the update! Which BT-67 was used as a "source" of cockpit configuration? I'm curious about the non-standard HSI and VSI placement ;)

[mjahn]

Thanks for the update! Which BT-67 was used as a "source" of cockpit configuration? I'm curious about the non-standard HSI and VSI placement ;)

We had one day access to C-GAWI, and came back with 500+ pictures. CGAWI's panel is plastered over with gauges, ours is a rough approximation, as are other parts, too (overhead). We'll be happy to consider update options, have a sizeable list already, this'll be one of them...

[johndetrick]

A really good product here, but, I can't believe a real world airplane had an instrument panel in that configuration. First, having the bendix/king radios and the Garmins is a lot of redundancy. Using the panel for IFR operations in this configuration is a bit challenging. The HSI should be below the ADI, the VSI below the altimeter, the turn and bank below the ASI and replace the #2 glideslope indicator with the radio altimeter. I really have to question why the need for a suction gauge with those PT-6's providing all the power you need to run all the avionics you need. You don't see King Airs with suction gauges. If you have DME indicated above the ADI and on the Garmin, why the need for another DME in the radio stack? An addition of an altitude alerter would be nice. Again I would like to stress that this is a really good model, better than most payware and this criticism is meant to be constructive in nature. I have a lot of real world experience with this sort of stuff and would be glad to help with any changes. EDIT: Just had a quick look at C-GAWI's instrument panel on airliners.net and that is a really good looking panel more in line with what you would expect in an aircraft.

Is C-FTGX included in the pack? If not maybe one of our repaint artist's will consider taking it on as a project? It's been a regular sight over Ireland in recent years ...doing geo-surveys at low level (~200ft).

[Wishmaster]

Hello guys,

first of all let me say that I was really looking forward to this plane! :) I think it's a great addition to our virtual hangars. However, I think that the rudder could be a little more effective. When flying turns, the turn coordinator shows that more and more rudder input is needed the longer the turn lasts. That is not realistic. Second, if you try a side-slip, the rudder becomes less effective the more time passes by. Not realistic either. Would be great to have this fixed in a future update or something :)

Best regards,
Markus

[PZL Belfegor]

We had one day access to C-GAWI, and came back with 500+ pictures. CGAWI's panel is plastered over with gauges, ours is a rough approximation, as are other parts, too (overhead). We'll be happy to consider update options, have a sizeable list already, this'll be one of them...
Thank you, update would be welcome, bot don't forget to take a well deserved break after the initial release :)

Are these repaint available? If so where?
Thanks

[Firekitten]

The second is included, the first is a simple colour swap and rereg with some badge/logo removal on the latter... (Doing the same myself atm for want of blank textures)

[glh]

Let me congratulate the developers for a fine job for this freeware aircraft. Thank you very much.

I am having one discrepancy, though. I have installed both the BT-67 Base pack and the gauge/texture update files.

When flying in the VC view with the autopilot engaged, the Heading Select button on the right of the HSI only turns counterclockwise. Thus I can only turn the aircraft to the left when changing the heading. A right turn is a 180 degree PLUS turn -- a long way around. It did this with only the Base Pack installed so the update was not involved.

Is this situation occurring with anyone else ??

[mjahn]

Using left clicks only? Try right clicks or the mouse wheel. (Goes for other switches and knobs as well.)

[FlameOut]

Thanks for posting that web site, kilo delta, it's great
..http://www.aerocanada.com/bt-67/

I'll have this baby installed on my new PC build soon. :applause:

[mjahn]

Just to say that I am watching this thread with interest. This is just a draft of a quick panel fix, using the resources at hand. Any comments welcome. I suppose we'll also re-do the ASI.

[pbearsailor]

That panel layout looks good. Maybe the only change I'd suggest would be to swap the turn coordinator with the RMI to set up a better scan for instrument flying.

Having said that, I don't have any problem with the panel as it is now. I can't begin to count the number of planes I've flown over the years with non standard layouts. Makes it a little harder to hand fly on instruments, but it's just the way it is sometimes with airplanes that work for a living.

I am so impressed with this plane and the quality of the work.

Cheers,
steve

I already had Bill Shultz's CV-580 soundset installed, so that's what I'm using. Tweaking the volume(s) in Options/Settings/Sounds gives me what I want.
They aren't correct for the PT6 engines, but, I really like their lower "note" a lot better than the available defaults.

"FS2002/FS2004 Allison T-56 Engine Sounds", 580sound.zip @flightsim,
and the update; "T-56 Allison Turboprop Sound Update for L-188 Electra, CV-580 and P-3 Aircraft", t56_sound_update_cielo.zip @ Avsim.

There are other soundsets proffered in the BT-67 thread at Avsim: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/378810-basler-bt-67-turbo-conversion-dc-3-released/page__st__25 ...Don


I also use the CV-580 soundset. look for cv-580-sound.zip @ flightsim.com.
This particular soundset works convincing for me.

Any one else getting an FSX crash when ending the flight?

Update:

Must have been some strange anomaly in my system, it worked just fine last night so kindly disregard at this time.

Just to say that I am watching this thread with interest. This is just a draft of a quick panel fix, using the resources at hand. Any comments welcome. I suppose we'll also re-do the ASI.
It looks good, the turn indicator is in a different spot than in usual basic six, but it's how it is in real plane (example of such configuration here (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Guatemala---Air/Douglas-%28Basler%29-BT-67/1707490/L/&sid=554abd3bc5d54d80a0357997c5bcd502)). I saw you post in Avsim thread, so I won't repeat the suggestion about fuel flow meters ;) May I add "flat" GPS stack option to the "would be nice" list? It doesn't require separate models (animation hiding knobs and buttons should suffice) and it would allow to place custom avionics like different GPS or weather radar by users. That's merely a suggestion, by no way request - you have already done enough for simulation enthusiasts ;)

[conork]

this is a great aircraft , something I've been waiting for. thanks to the developers for this gift to the community, and as previous posters have said ...it is payware quality. though i do have one problem with it , when i go to full power ..say on takeoff ..the throttle sticks at full power even if i reduce the power after takeoff .it takes maybe a minute for the throttle to respond and the power to come off ....sometimes it doesn't happen at full power but at medium power settings. this can for me make take offs and landings difficult. anyone else having this problem ?

I've also saw many pictures on the previous pages of this forum off repaints for the aircraft ...do you get em with the pack ?? are they coming soon ??? ..one i saw was the US forestry service ....is this available ???

thanks again

[pilottj]

Just to say that I am watching this thread with interest. This is just a draft of a quick panel fix, using the resources at hand. Any comments welcome. I suppose we'll also re-do the ASI.

I don't mind the non standard panel, I think it gives it character and a nod to it's vintage DC-3 lineage. Like Steve says, a lot of planes flying today still have a non standard arrangment. I don't think it was really until the mid-late 60s that instrument panels...at least in GA birds, really started having the standardized '6 pack'

This Basler panel reminds me of the MAAM DDA DC-3 project they did long long ago for FS2000. It was modern looking in color but the instruments were in a non standard arrangment.

A good alternative sound is from the old Iris PC-9/AT-6 package which is now freeware. The blade config between the two engine sounds may be different in real life but these sounds are very close as the PT6 and blade config on the BT-67 are quite high pitched. Having seen a few BT-67's in flight yes it does sound very close to a Shorts 360 and also not unlike a Starship or Avanti. If you decide to use these sounds, you'll probably want to edit out the O2 mask sound or you can use this Silent Wave sound(posted below) in place of the original Mask.wav to kill that breathing sound.

Daniel,

Just FYI + feedback on your web site I can no longer open and see the BT-67 repaint screenshots (there are now some buttons but they don't do anything when you click on them). Also, I can only see some of your A319 paints as there is something in the way the page loads that it cuts off the bottom of this page.

Looking forward to seeing more of your very good work!

[StormILM]

i just hade a weird engine bug where the engines didnt power to idle on landing it stay full power did a Engine shutoff and restart then it started to work correctly again :kilroy:

I encountered that a few times myself but not every flight. It seems to get stuck at full throttle at times and even hitting F1 once or in rapid succession doesn't free it. Eventually after 20 to 30 seconds it will unfreeze and respond to throttle movements again. I also noticed that the latter 1/3 of throttling up(response) seems out of scale(uneven) in proportion to the first 2/3rds of throttle movement/response. It's a little difficult to articulate higher power settings due to this. Very little throttle movement on my X52 throttle causes major changes at high rpm/torque ranges. It seems to advance to high power(rpm/torque) very quickly but is slow to retard. Setting the power feels like try to balance the throttle on a fulcrum point at high ranges.

(Post Re-Test Edit) I found that if you advance the power to where the torque is no more than 90 to 95%, there is no issue with the throttle sticking. That only seems to occur at max torque/engine rpm. With a little tweaking to the gauge, that should clear the problem as well as smooth out the other minor issues mentioned above.

Thank you very much. Yes, this works. Being used to the mouse-over left/right on the conventional panel, I must have missed (or misunderstood) your explanation in the Read Me file. And I did read it !!

[Firekitten]

how about the USFS version?

I'm going to take a stab at The South African ones (C-47TP we know, but meh) and a buffalo Airways one as a giggle.... That is if cheesestrike doesn't nab them first.

Biggest challenge is removing the paintscheme from the textures, as there's no kit, or blank, so its a pain in the bum, but managable. I've got clean engines, and wings, the fuselage is requiring some 'plastering' using the c47 as a skin donor....

[Stefano Zibell]

My main fuel pumps indicator lights don't go green, like shown in the manual. Under any circumstance. Bug?

[RtrHd1]

Superbly done and best of all.... TOTALLY FREE! Thank you oh "Cheesy" One!

[mjahn]

My main fuel pumps indicator lights don't go green, like shown in the manual. Under any circumstance. Bug?

Depends on what is "any circumstance". They should be on by default when you start with a new flight (not a loaded flight, often difficult to anticipate what is saved with a saved flight). Green indicates STBY pumps are on - are they in your case?

[expat]

I am having similar issues with fuel pumps and problems not starting generally. I am usually starting from a saved default flight: e.g. the C172 with all the switches set the right way. Sometimes props move but can't get them to light (condition levers and ignition switches in the right places); other times the props just won't budge at all. Sometimes re-loading the a/c fixes it, but not always. This is certainly not a criticism as I find turboprops - among my favorites - real pigs generally to start in FS!

b/t/w - been clocking miles recently in your wonderful Starliner - never get tired of any of your family of Connies .. :salute:

[Stefano Zibell]

It may be my misinterpretation of the manual (it says check lights green). Yes, the standby pump lights do go green when they turn on. The main pump ones, however, do not. They do go red when I turn them off.

But the pumps work and I can start the aircraft from cold and dark with no issues whatsoever, so not a big deal. (not even sure they're supposed to turn green anymore :icon_lol:)

superb model

[ecduggan]

I love this model and like the rest been waiting for it for a long time. So when I heard the new that she was out I downloaded it right away and took her up for a spin. I was amazed at the detail of this aircraft, as I flow her. You guys put great effort into creating it and as I've read from others, and agree whole heartly with she is as good if not better than a lot of payware birds out there.

What tickled me even more was that not even 24 hours later it was added to the FSEconmey data base for use with that wonderful addon. I quickly picked on up and have been flying her ever since then. Great work guys, I look forward to when all the repaint are done by Cheesy and hope that there will be a paintkit coming as well :).


Quick little redo of the stock Thai AF paint for my FSE bird.

Cheese,

What is the difference between the original release and this one (V2.0)?

I know there must of been some improvement(s) here but I am not aware of them.

:applause:

[Stefano Zibell]

The panel layout is changed. It's more in terms of what one would expect, but the new indicated airspeed gauge only goes up to 200 knots and is capped at 170, which doesn't make much sense, considering the old one was much more suitable.

Edit: Apparently, it's the same gauge as on the actual Basler, so plus one for realism. Go figure...

They seem to ignore any requests for base textures.... apparently this is a totally 'in house' deal.

[Cag40Navy]

I've been tempted to make some smart remarks about how turbo props on a DC-3 is a sin, or some such, but this is such a fantastic plane I shant go there! :) The VC is beautiful, and she's such a joy to fly. Love this ship! Now I guess I have to adjust the trailing arms, or sway bars, or whatever it is that keeps my skis from dragging the pavement when I land on a hard runway with the things screwed on. Nice effects though!

Don't kill yourself with that. Skis will normally drag the ground. I like the spark effect, but it's probably a little overdone. Buddy of mine that flew a ski equipped plane said they do drag and make a hell of a racket.

This is a wonderful model, and has gotten me to add a complete new profile to my CH yoke for twin turboprop.

I only asked because post 124 shows the Basler Turbo Conversions paint by CheeseStrike. It just fits my psychosis. :mixedsmi:

[CheeseStrike]

Those sparks can be found on the original ski BT-67, too.
There's a teflon bar at the bottom end of the ski which creates those sparks

You can see those sparks on the ski DC-3, too

Did anyone notice that the two dudes (Pilot/Copilot) look to have the same face? Or are they twins? :icon_lol::icon_lol:

No problems here.
I put the HD gauge .cab in the Panel folder and used the new panel.cfg file in the package per the instructions.
Maybe you need to have HD textures enabled in fsx.cfg file?

//================

Whatever happened to the remaining repaints???
I was really looking forward to flying the USFS and Kenn Borek Air ones.
I was under the impression they were finished already.
Needs a proper Paint Kit too.

//================

[CheeseStrike]

I'm so sorry!!! :redf:
I had no time to upload the textures the last week, I still need to tweak some of those.
I applied for several jobs, had to trial work because the universities rejected my applications.
I still don't know if I'll stay unemployed for the next 6 months or not ...

There was our town's beerfest this weekend which I couldn't miss. Monday will be the lat day of this beerfest (it's 1 am here so it already is monday)
Got more job auditions on tuesday and wednesday ...

I'll promise to upload the textures after returning home from those auditions.

I'm very, very sorry for that delay!!!

Greetings, Daniel

Great works so far on all the great repaints. The logo in the pic looks great.

Any idea when a paint kit will be ready for this great aircraft?

[Sundog]

Good luck on the job interviews CheeseStrike, I hope something comes through for you.

I need to ask Manfred if he got the base paintkit, mine is modified (special wheels, custom effects, ...). Don't like to release this version of it.

[sidler]

Awsome..still waiting for the Basler Texture which is first on the list :kilroy:

[TeaSea]

These are quite nice, thank you!

[Firekitten]

Well without a paint kit... I improvised and made my own since I had some spare time.

Can you guess what it is yet? (In progress, will finalise and stick her up on SOH when done) Fictional yes... but with them looking for turbo kits, its more than possible. :)

Just to bring up this matter again, any chance in getting actual guns on the gunship version? Or is that ruled out? Just a curious question!

*sigh* Cheers... too late now! :P the second I finish reverse painting a plain white one and start work old MJ releases it.... fate or evil warped machinations... I'm unsure as yet.

About the only thing I am flying these summer days is this wonderful addon, still, and the RealAir Legacy, second.
So really looking forward to version 3! :applause:

Thanks for the U.S. Forest Service paint too, BTW. :salute:
Its facilitated lots of flights between the various Smokejumper Bases in the past couple days. :icon_lol:

[airattackimages]

WOW. Downloading now.


I love how I get so busy with work that I don't come around for a while, and there is some totally awesome surprise like this. Kick ass.

[airattackimages]

LOVE IT!

[CG_1976]

Tis the perfect aircraft to add to my virtual airline fleet. She'll fit right in at Iqaluit hub.

[mjahn]

I am happy with it doing freight and pax runs. After the Geospace and the Spectrem I'll move on to something entirely different. Nah, not really.

Got that one. Here is a pic of the repaint that comes with the file from Simviation. I was looking for the repaint posted by Firekitten for the Basler. I have heard some refer to it as the passenger version?? Not sure about that. Apparently that is the livery that is used for Buffalo's passenger service.

Regards,
Rob

Did CheeseStrike ever release his 6th SOS BT-67? I've seen screenshots but no links, either here or his FB page" If not, I did my own to include Editvoice comms for both the names "Basler" and "Turbo Dakota".Jeff
