Bruce, love the Operation Torch textures, there really are a ridiculous number of schemes for the old bird!

Dominikx, there should be instructions for dropping torpedos in the read me, think it's on the last couple of pages somewhere, where I've dumped the contents of my brain into a word document basically.

[Stan V.]

Does anybody have a fix or replacement for the sound file? Mine has a noticeable annoying looping sound near full throttle? It looks and flies pretty well otherwise.

NICE !!!

Been hoping for one ever since the great Alphasim 2004 version.

Thank You

While going through some of my collection of aircraft profile websites i came across these. I like it with the sparrow!

A great airplane and many thanks to the team responsible for putting it together and releasing it.

One thing I'd like to point out though. As the package uses an installer I installed it to a dummy FSX folder (I don't trust installers). Before copying from my dummy folder to my proper FSX I noticed it installed 9 new effects but I already had 3 of them in my FSX/effects folder. fx_obslight_white, fx_obslight_green and fx_obslight_amber. The thing that might be a problem is if someone runs the uninstaller it may remove this three effects files which I presume are used by some other aircraft or scenery.

[SkippyBing]

Anthony, Good catch, I'll change that in the next installer. It should only add effects starting with fx_fsXXXX, looks like I need to check out the dummy folder structure I've set up for making installers!

Flying Stations - Thanks for the model, another important gap filled!:ernae:

simkid22 - Thanks for the links to the profiles, very interesting!

[dominikx]

it don't have launch assistance but it super without this !!!!!!!!!

[jimjones]

Really enjoying this nice plane. Thanks very much.

When I start one of the models with a torpedo showing, there is no torpedo. Should that show up automatically? The docs give an indication that stores and rear occupants are activated the same way. What way is that?

You need to create a flight with the Swordfish then save the flight with a name.

Close FSX and go to

C:\Documents and Settings\YourAccount\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files and open the .FLT file.

Edit the file and add:

[DroppableObjects.0]
ObjectSet.0=Torpedo_MkXII, 1

at the end of the file.

Re-start FSX and from the main screen, select "Load" and load the flight you edited.

Launch Assist was left out since the FSX launch speed is way above the Swordfish max speed of 130 kts, more realistic to do free take offs.

Thanks, Ananda. Will give that a try. Saw that in the docs, but did not think one had to do all that just to get the fish to show.

It seem its all the young whippersnappers that have the answers>

[peter12213]

Just add the correct weight to the payload section to get the torpedo or bombs to show, do what ananda said if you want it to be a droppable object!

Any sign of any repaints yet?
