AH DHC-1 Chipmunk Chippy has landed 6/24

Ok, looks like me must wait a little longer for DC-3 of AH but they will bring to us something new:



Im having his "Chipmunk"l for P3D.

(btw. see the word "very" in the title )

Excellent news but I'd have been even happier if the "very" had been between "the" and "poor" than between "coming" and "soon"...
.

Still we can't have everything!

[Sundog]

Nice. Thanks for the heads up.

Same here.
Years ago I completed my tailwheel differences training in the Chippy so this news made my day 👍

As I remember it was model with extension with bubble canopy too. I wonder if it will be here as an option.

[bazzar]

Sure will...

[bazzar]

plus a few more...

[YoYo]

Thx for the bubble canopy!

Looks really nice! Nice to see also non-default pilots! Well done.

After being in a holding for the last couple of weeks the Aeroplane Heaven DHC-1 has landed https://www.aeroplaneheaven.com/img/...ledownload.php

I posted screenshots and videos in the existing Chipmunk topic, FYI:

(Not sure if this classic board software would allow the topics to be merged...)

Nice shots, Im must be waiting .

Nice paints already JanKees !!

The aircraft is beautifully modeled however I also conclude that the flap lever actuation is reversed.
Full forward should be zero flaps and the lever should be pulled back or 'lifted' with two detents, first is 15deg and then 30deg (this is correct on the model as far as the two detents) or full flaps with the lever all the way back
As noted the VC label for the flaps is also reversed. It is not a show stopper but I would not call it nit-picking either...not that anyone has called it that.

Also - the mixture lever movement is correct but it is supposed to 'catch' the throttle anytime the throttle is moved past the mixture lever (such as when in high cruise above 5,000' altitude and the mixture has been leaned for proper aspiration).
This is WHY the mixture lever is reversed compared to 'normal' full forward full rich common elsewhere. It is meant to prevent the trainee from forgetting to return the mixture lever to full rich upon approach and landing. Throttle, once extended past the mixture lever will 'catch' it
as the throttle is reduced or 'cut' on approach and landing and automatically pull it to full rich - or at least a more suitable, less hazardous position

That's right, however I think this "catch" could be hard to modelled. For me, it's enough to correct what has been noticed and it will be really fun.
