[FSX68]

Is is normal to see the streak effect on the cockpit windows? Maybe I'm using the wrong Windex......:icon_lol:

Normal. Need a way to remove them.

Yes, I hope this addressed in a patch.Very distracting and completely unnecessary on such a superb model. I also hope they will revise the engine sounds, which are a bit jarring when the throttles are bought all the way back. And internal views of the cockpit sunshade curtains please. Its an excellent model, and deserves the enhancements after all the work thats been done.

Now that you mentioned it, I too hope that the sound issued is fixed. It is a quality made add on and it reminds me of the C119 a little. Very well thought out and put together.
After viewing real Noratlas via youtube, It sounds a little like a DC-3 (a little) and some other aircraft engine sound; can't quite place it. :engel016:

Here is a list of aircraft with the same engines.

Thanks for the info. Where is the link to obtain this patch? Thanks.

Thats a list of aircraft with the same engines.... be careful, because a number of those aircraft only had a few 'test' variants with Bristol Hercules engines... not mainstream production like the lanc... which the vast vast majority ran on Merlins.

I just saw it over at Avsim.

Have the internal sunshades been added to match the ones seen from the exterior of the aircraft?

I like how he calls it 'optional reflection display'... what's it reflecting? stick figures?

Smells like a bad glass recipe to me.

I know, it's like English isn't his first language or something...

Looks like the mapping is messed up to me, but you keep sniffing the monitor.

[ncooper]

I think the intention was perhaps to replicate the scratched windows of a veteran aircraft

The update seems to remove the windows altogether, I think I would rather have the scratches and reflections.

Good research and listing Nick - matter of fact i'd be here next month , these were fun to watch and the noise required cotton wool and ear muffs when flying

I think I "discovered" this engine listing over at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Hercules

I researched some of them and they are a bit different in sound and specifics as far as engine types go.

i.e. some of them are in the right church but wrong pew and some are just in the wrong church.

I went and sample each sound file for the noratlas and they sound OK individually but like someone said on this thread when you throttle back;
it sounds a bit strange. Can't simulate wierd throttle back sound playing each sound.

[Ian Warren]

The sound to these are like music , trouble is many hated the noise .... course this was after buying property close to the airport :pop4: don't figure .. I guess the sound signature would be different compared to the Noratlas even only for the fuselage shape from a flat slab to the rounded hull . <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setT imeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Thanks for the links, I enjoyed them both.
Not much research though, just wikipedia.
British engines from the days when that really meant something.

As to the Noratlas sound files, I would be very surprised, given the
attention to detail given to the rest of the model, if they are not sampled
from recordings of the last remaining operational example.

Sleeve valve engines are quieter than poppet valve ones. It is not by chance the Japanese called the Beaufighter the "whispering death". I have heard a Blenheim at an airshow some time ago at North Weald (OK, I admit they were smaller size engines) and it was heavenly music.

This is not necessary anymore after installing update 1. Now you can switch the windshield reflections on/off when using the configuration panel (configuration appareil/Reflets verriere:O/N)

[511Flyer]

As somebody who spent 4 years in the RAF working on, and flying in, the Hastings, I can tell you that the Hercules engine noise is more Hell than Heaven.

In spite of that, I look back on those days with great affection. 24, 36, and 511 squadrons RAF Colerne.

As you think my english is too poor, I will not cause you any harm in translating the manual.

[Firekitten]

As I explained to you in the rather rude PM you sent me, my criticism is of the glass technique, the recipe used, its absolutely NOTHING to do with your English. If you don't like the criticism, I'm sorry.


And don't worry, there are several English manuals for it on the net.
