The pitot tube thing never worried me, either, it was a rivet-counting dispute, I think. A-Team stuff is freely available to anyone who signs up over there, like here, and I never understood the issue about that either. Either way, the Viggen is a great looking aircraft, and I'm looking forward to this updated version.

Veltro2k WIPS

Javelin: hooray!! -
Thanks, Wrench. I meant indicated, not true. I understand the difference, I usually work off the on-screen display for de-bugging things. Sluggish is the word. I know it wasn't a dogfigter, but the P-51D was low-drag ship, and it should pick up speed faster than this, I think. I may have a go at re-doing the enigne power segment, and see how it goes.

I am enjoying the TW P-51D model, it is far and away the best-looking P-51D model we have in SF. But I have some concerns about the FM. Published speeds at various altitudes are fairly accessible for the Mustang, and most sources say that the speed at SL was 355 mph, or 368 mph with WEP (308 kts or 320 kts IAS). I can't get it to more than 300 knots. This is with a full fuel and ammo load, but otherwise clean. The top speed was 437 mph at 25,000 feet (253 kts IAS) or 440 mph with WEP (255 kts IAS) I can't get it to go more than 240 kts, with or without WEP. Does anyone else find this, or is everyone happy with the FM?

huge roll momentum
Gatling20 replied to Do335's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
You also need to look at the roll moment figures due to roll rate (aka roll damping) (Clp=) in each component with AeroCoefficients. In the LeftWing and RightWing, for example, it is Clp=-0.0224. Increase the size of this number from -0.0224 to (say) -0.03, and make corresponding changes to the other components, and see how it goes. -

Looking great! This will be a fantastic additon to all the PTO aircraft which are being released for SF2. -

I noticed 3 things: 1. The Loadout.INI should say HVAR, not 60lb-rocket, as Wrench says. 2. HVAR's have a start year of 1944, so if the mission you are flying is earlier, they won't be available. 3. And the coordinates of some of the rocket stations look wrong. The Left and Right stations 1 and 2 look fine (the numbers are the same, plus or minus to be on the left or right wing respectively). But the coordinates for 3 and 4 Stations look wrong: [LeftWingStation3] AttachmentPosition=-0.233,0.249,-0.583 <-- probably should be -3.719,1.249,-0.316 [RightWingStation3] AttachmentPosition=3.719,1.249,-0.316 [LeftWingStation4] AttachmentPosition=0.23,0.249,-0.583 <-- probably should be -3.463,1.249,-0.362 [RightWingStation4] AttachmentPosition=3.463,1.249,-0.362 Hope this helps. -

P-47N
Gatling20 replied to russouk2004's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Great looking work Russ, thanks, looking forward to the new version. If you are working on the P-47N to animate the cowl flaps, can you also have a look at the pylon node name for the fuselage drop tank? There seem to be two in the current LOD, called FrontTankClamps and RearTankClamps, and if no tank is taken on a mission, one or the other still shows up. The aircraft would look cleaner with no stray pipes hanging off the belly on short-range missions. So could you maybe amalgamate these two meshes into one, so the CentrelineStation could have ModelNodeName=TankClamps. -

Great looking aircraft, thanks Russo. The detail on the new bump mapped rivets is incredible. -
Vertical bomb release
Gatling20 replied to LloydNB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The He-111 has vertical bombs in its bomb bay, and in its Data.INI is has a line: [bombBay] ..................... AttachmentAngles=0.0,90.0,0.0 -
Great aircraft, thanks Stephen. And if I forgot to say it before, I love your recent WWI armored cars too.
