New obscure and substandard models

[chrisP]

No problem at all - I quite understood you hadn't requested.

As for all would-be requestors (as opposed to suggestors ), please consider that making a model takes a considerable amount of time and effort: over the whole of 2016, all I could come out with was TWO models. Also consider that there are some aircraft that I do wish and intend to build out of personal interest within my (limited) time and energy. Anything else will of necessity go to the bottom of the pile. I'm sure you'll all understand.

Hi. I made a related post on another thread regarding wheel wobble issued with another model.
I LOVE this NORD model, however I'm having issues with it porpoising badly on landing.
Is there a fix for this that anyone is aware of?

Hello Bfler,

If you open the "Aircraft.cfg" file and replace the "Contact Points" section with this:
[contact_points]
static_pitch = 0.7056
static_cg_height = 9.474
tailwheel_lock = 0
gear_system_type = 0
max_number_of_points = 7

point.0 = 1, 19.1658, -0.4399, -9.9216, 1181, 0, 0.596, 39.9, 0.296, 2.5, 0.9516, 4.8, 4.8, 0, 0, 0
point.1 = 1, -3.7828, -4.2698, -9.6288, 1574, 1, 0.596, 0, 0.296, 2.5, 0.9516, 4.5, 5.2, 2, 0, 0
point.2 = 1, -3.7698, 4.2698, -9.5921, 1574, 2, 0.596, 0, 0.296, 2.5, 0.9516, 4.8, 4.9, 3, 0, 0
point.3 = 2, -20.1379, 0.0603, -6.6507, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
point.4 = 2, 28.1074, 0, -6.2178, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
point.5 = 2, -2.9185, -36.0777, -7.4051, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
point.6 = 2, -2.9173, 35.5992, -7.4648, 1800, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

you will fix the wheel wobble: (video on YouTube)



As for the porpoising on final, I'm afraid it's beyond my capacities at the moment. A FDE guru would probably be able to fix it, though.

On a final note, when you have an issue like this with a release, contacting the author directly will get you an answer much faster - we're in fact REQUIRED by flightsim.com to add such contact info in the readme.txt you got when you download the pkg.
Posting in a forum the author might or not see is definitely not the best way around.

Sorry it took me so long to get back on this post. Thanks a bunch.
And, yah, sorry about the way I popped this on the board. I've been in this long enough to know there is a better way.

Well I just noticed this thread exists.

If someone wants an idea for an obscure plane, the Super Guppy has yet to be modeled in MSFS in general, so it would be a leap into the unknown.

And the plane that replaced it, the Beluga, already exists in many forms, I think this poor thing is a little neglected.

But then again, it's an extremely niche aircraft and it's only worth pursuing if you have a fascination for it like me, or just want to see a plane in MSFS that hasn't been in it before.

More props on the way (still at a very early stage, though)

Some progress That's the Viscount 800 (the stretched model). I've also got a Viscount 700 that's almost done.

These Viscounts look amazing. Really a great masterpiece of art, as are the other models. Chapeau and thanks a million.

Kind regards.

Busy weekend...

First, the Viscount 700 has been uploaded to Flightsim.com




... along with these sample repaints:

In addition, I've completed the repaints and flightplans for Arkia, 1971




as well as two '800s for Northeast (UK) and Cambrian, both 1972





As usual, I'll update the thread once they're available for download.

Excellent work Chris! It looks so much better than Rick Piper's old and decrepit Viscounts. Can't wait for more repaints with this, and I might just make some considering I've been dabbling with repainting recently

[chrisP]

Never knock another's models. We all stand on the shoulders of giants

Everything is now available for download on flightsim.com

wasn't lying when I said I'd make a paint
whipped this up in under 30 min, just a little paint of what the Viscount may have looked like had it served a little longer with United
might make a Continental meatball one as well
if anyone actually wants this paint, just PM me and I'll toss you it
_{I uploaded the pic to imgur because the forum decided no uploading attachments for me I guess}

[chrisP]

About the picture, what I do is I upload to photobucket and I'll copy the IMG tag in the message text



I'd also like to see the pic of your Viscount

Hi,

There is an overall limit to the number of images that can be uploaded to a Proboards forum. Perhaps that limit has been reached?
