woweezowee Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 that texturing is really nice, isn't it? cool video, good showcase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 WOW!!!!I'm sure I speak for Theo when I say thanks for that Simon!!It kind of looks weird to see our project on someone else's computer seeing as I spent so much time with her. But it definitely puts a smile on my face seeing other people flying her.That was AMAZING.Goran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strange feeling this end too, seeing her alive and up close after those months of stills. The texturing really is outstanding, esp. That carpet.And this was a real quickie, first flight, filmed in 5 mins and edited in same. Forgot to turn comms and nav on. Hope u liked the song, listen to the lyrics...

Goran_M Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Like I said, there are Photoshop users and there are Photoshop Artists. Theo is definitely in the latter category.I actually do like the choice of music. It has that old, rustic sound to it which suits the Sundowner very nicely.Need I ask you to keep 'em coming?

MaidenFan Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 The trim doesn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Rudder trim and elevator trim do work. Aileron trim has been added along with some extras in the flight model. Currently making ammendments to the manual and it will all be ready to download very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Of course. All updates will be completely free of charge.Ah well just flew Sundowner, and had an unknown failure making me unable to restart engine. Had to emergency land in the cliffs of Tenerife! I gotta say it flew beautifully, and even though I was awaiting a death landing she landed perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 If your engine was at idle, you probably had carb ice.Pull the middle lever on the throttle console towards you and then continue trying to start the engines.Goran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since I have a throttle quadrant I left carb heat on and everything... Ah regardless it's not like it bothered me, it just made the experience more fun and challenging. Not exactly place to ask, but is your 747 going to have the same level of detail as the Sundowner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Were you at a high altitude? If so, how was your mixture? Full rich will flood the engine at higher altitudes due to the thinner air.If you don't know how to set mixture in the Sundowner, please check the manual. There is a section on how to set the correct mixture.If you were at a lower altitude, your mixture may have been too lean.Who said this thing was too challenging to fly? ;DThe 747 will have ultimate realism.I have contacted a retired BA 747-100/200/300 flight engineer to help me with this project and he is looking forward to seeing it fly and perform as realistically as possible. I told him to not hold back on the criticisms when it comes testing time.Sorry to say, the 747-200 will not be for the casual simmer wanting to hop in and take off within 3 minutes.Please, get back to me on how you get on with the Sundowner mixture setting.

Hopefully we're gonna finally have a realistic system simulated 747 for X-Plane, I'm not a fan of planes that take one minute to start and 2 minutes later you're flying through the air, Peter's A380 is the closest to realistic systems I have for an heavy. Can't wait to hear more news! Also awaiting for your Saab , you can be sure I'll be buying everyone of your airplanes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
