Great update. Thanks.

What concerns me is this was uploaded to mediafire from mainland China. I will be checking it for any hidden surprises.  Norton anti virus did not pick up anything.

Mick.

The center of the airframe is now in the antenna area.
Is it possible to move the center to the pilot area?
In default, the center / axis of the airframe almost always coincides with the center of gravity of the aircraft - this allows you to correctly configure the flight model, without adding crutches.  :)
Thank you!

 :(   MMM .. Version 1.03 in my installation presents problems,  the bombs remain spaced at least 50/70 cm from the respective rack. Here is a preview of the skins I'm preparing.

stanislao,

Very good looking skins.

Regarding the bombs issue you mentioned, have you tried swapping in meshes from the 'Higher bomb racks' folder?

If so, please ignore.  If not,

1) Please backup your v1.03 mod files
2) Go to 3do/Plane/Ro57bis(multi1)/Higher bomb racks folder
3) Copy content inside this folder
4) Back up one level to 3do/Plane/Ro57bis(multi1)/
5) Paste content from 'Higher bomb racks' folder.  Confirm overwrite when prompted

Please try and see whether this helps.

Cheers,

 :(   First of all, thank you for trying to help. Unfortunately in my folder / Ro57bis (multi1) (Version 1.03) I don't see any file named "Higher bomb racks" and you have to forgive me it is not clear to me what should be copied and where it should be overwritten. Thanks anyway for your interest

Post by: ben_wh on October 01, 2022, 11:34:34 AM
stanislao,

'Higher bomb rack' is a folder but not a single file.  I just re-downloaded from the link in the first post: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,69537.msg757302.html#msg757302
and the folder is there.

Please try navigating into: Ro-57Bis new 3D v1.03/3do/Plane/Ro57bis(multi1) and you should see these folders:

/Higher bomb racks
/Lower bomb racks
/summer
/summer Hi-Def
/summer Stock-Def

Go into the folder 'Higher bomb racks', that is Ro-57Bis new 3D v1.03/3do/Plane/Ro57bis(multi1)/Higher bomb racks

and find the files:

BombRackC.msh
BombRackWL.msh
BombRackWR.msh

Copy them.  Then go up one level back to the folder: Ro-57Bis new 3D v1.03/3do/Plane/Ro57bis(multi1), and paste these files.
Your computer should ask whether you'd like to overwrite.  Confirm yes.

Please see whether this helps.

Cheers,

 :-[    But where is my head? I didn't notice the three folders at the top of the file list, I assumed they were from the "summer", "winter" etc series ... I'm really short-sighted! Now thanks to your patience I have successfully overwritten the three files indicated and the bombs have moved to the correct position! I still have a doubt, but why did 101tfs not immediately place them in the right place?
Thanks so much Ben for your help. 

P.S. I have just read C. Watson's explanation. The position depends on the different size of the bombs in the Italian weapons package, the two options allow positioning according to the bombs used.

I had a similar question as well when I looked at the folder and experimented with the files.  Thanks to your answer from C. Watson now I understand this better.

How do you guys keep this plane's engines cool? It works in 4.13. But there is no prop pitch control - is that intended?
Title: Re: Ro.57 Quadriarmav (new 1.03 by CWatson)
Post by: Frankiek on February 13, 2023, 02:02:18 AM
Many planes not designed for 4.13 have cooling engine problems this is due to changes in main classes introduced with 4.13 there is little to do about it until someone adapt
plane classes and flight model

This is an "unintentional bug" or maybe intentional!  :D
In versions 409 and BAT, the possibility to have the prop pitch control is disabled in the emd file.
But in the cockpit you can see the handle!

Post by: Frankiek on February 13, 2023, 10:09:33 AM
It is quite unlikely that a plane developed in the early '40 didn't have pitch control. More the engine is the usual Fiat A 74 that was normally coupled with a variable pitch airscrew.  But maybe we can say that is an automatic variable pitch so no need for the manual controls :). In 4.12 no problem with overheating even during prolonged climb with 100% power and the pit is borrowed from MC202 so no surprise that there is a pitch control lever. In any case a nice plane to fly.

If you want to have this control in BAT... install the archive below !
For other versions of the game, take the file "RO57bis_FM" and paste it in the Ro.57bis Mod folder!
Tested in BAT 4.2.2 hf4 only !

Well, it works in my 4.13 game (not BAT but SAS modact). Pitch control is implemented. But, it still doesn't do much to keep engine temperature stable. Maybe I'm flying the plane wrong? I love the Ro.57 regardless.

Tested the latest version of the new FM for the RO.57 with success....it fly very weel and the canopy now work correctly....

In the mod folder there is a MC.202 cockpit fix subfolder....I have tested the 202 and I got the cockpit without issues but I can't say what difference with the unmodded one....IIUC you have corrected the manifold indicator values....

About the MC.202 I noticed that the canopy still doesn't open and there is only elevator trim controls....I have to check my historical sources because if after all those years of presence the other two trims aren't yet added maybe historically were absent....
