Guys

 

Is there a way to simulate the dive brakes on the SBD?

Perhaps if the sim could be modded to allow me to deploy the flaps above normal landing speeds?

Change the flap speeds yourself in the data.ini. But that won't give you what you want.

Already been done by me...strange that I can't find it in on my site...guess I never uploaded the fix.

 

Well, here it is. This will create 'virtural' divebrakes, as the model dosen't have the actual moving parts.

 

Open your SBD_DATA.ini, and add the following sections where indicated....I'm also including the lighting fix, which is also in the data ini for the VS-41 skin set

 

In Fuselage add,

 

SystemName[011]=BottomGreenLight

SystemName[012]=BottomAmberLight

SystemName[013]=CenterAirbrake

 

LeftWing add:

 

SystemName[005]=LandingLight

SystemName[006]=LeftAirbrakeUpper

SystemName[007]=LeftAirbrakeLower

 

RightWing add:

 

SystemName[005]=RightAirbrakeUpper

SystemName[006]=RightAirbrakeLower

 

LeftOuterWing add:

 

SystemName[003]=LeftUpperFormationLight

 

RightOuterWing add:

 

SystemName[003]=RightUpperFormationLight

 

Below the LandingGear section, replace everything below with this, includes the light:

 

// Airbrakes ---------------------------------------------------------

The divebrakes work with the airbrake key. This same fix was applied the the A-36 Apache, as well.

 

Happy Bombing!
