beautiful bird but she begins to break up in level flight or slight turns at about 40% power.  Not sure why.

[Mission_bug]

Hello dona, please try the new version in updated link.


I had been doing most of the testing with AI and all seemed ok, however, when I took her for a flight myself soon after the upload I noticed the break up
under pilot control.  ???

Should have been a little more thorough with testing.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Thanks very much Pete, you are amazing - can always rely on you to create separate slots & add internals to Gio & Bison's great creations 

[Mission_bug]

Glad to be of service ggrewe.


I have adapted the FM from the AEG by changing the necessary entries to make it a seaplane, the speed is now much closer to what it should be.


Please try this and report back on your findings.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete

[dona]

She's flying great now! Thanks Pete, she's a real beauty.

[oldschoolie]

There may be a few details still needing work, but this is a great addition to the skies of my PC. Thank you very much.

[Mission_bug]

Hello guys, there is a new link in the first post.

I have tidied up what I can and improved the views:








Controls are now working:



Steering wheels are not at the angle they were originally in the 3d as to make them function properly I had to re-position them.

Still no dedicated Bombardier for 4.12.

FM still needs fine tuning, anyone please.


To all intents and purposes this is the final update although I will post when I get around to doing the 4.12 dedicated Bombardier.


Take care guys,

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Hello guys, with the main model done I turned my attention to a second version of this aircraft in the upload I have that
Gio posted, however, it has issues. ???


This uses the hier as supplied by Gio:








As you can see the sit is all wrong and it has extra floats, there is also what appears to be a mapping issue on the
nose of the type.  The mapping issue there may actually be a skin for in the upload.

I have already made a AI slot for this version but to be honest I do not feel a need to try and sort out what is wrong.

A shame really but there you go.

My thought was that I may have done something to cause this but as it uses a seperate hier that I have not touched it
must have been made this way, why I do not know.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete. 

[Mission_bug]

Ok I figured it out, sort of.

Game on.




Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

[ggrewe]

Schweet! Anther version of this classic - great work Pete & Gio 

[Mission_bug]

Hello again, there is a new link now available in the first post.


The F2AF is now available as flyable in own slot:














I now have a version of the F2A running in 4.12 with a Bombardier class added for that install, however, the sight is rather large
when viewed. ???

The F2AF will also now need to be adapted and if I cannot cure the Bombardier view issue it will have to do as is.

Stay tuned,
