Question for Bovril...

[Saracenman]

Bovril, i couldn't resist the Iris Vulcan

it flies BEAUTIFULLY, even if it is a little jumpy on my laptop

two issues though, if you could help please:

1) i can't make the bomb-doors open

2) GPS is blank

when i take off, i have all dolls-eyes black, except for one on the right marked "COCKS" - i can't seem to find ANYTHING that turns it black, aka "GO"

can you help please mate?

[Bovril]

gps blank ...if master on right panel is off then it will be blank. (using ctrl+e to start engines will start them with it in off position)

try this....

for the bombay doors....
in cock pit view look at panel on (left seat) towards the front and above the pfcu switches..

but you will need to select master to on on from the right hand side panel first



easy start up (not an offical start up !!!)
set park brake

select master to on (right panel)

select pressure head switch..

select all 10 pfcu switches (all should be turned out or you cant control her)

select all 4 auto fuel pumps on fuel panel

set all throttles at 50%

select master to start,select ignition and select rapid on switch marked normal/rapid (order not important)

push rapid start button


all four engines should now spool up to 50%

[Saracenman]

Bovril - that is absolutely FANTASTIC - thank you!

i had figured a lot of that out, but the master-switch next to the right-hand seat i DIDN'T know about!

shall i wait until tomorrow to try it? nah.................................

thanks again mate

[Bovril]

Does anyone else agree with me that the preceeding
posts were just about the best thing we've had on
this alleged forum? I fell down on the FLOOR!

Wish I had "IT" here to play around wit'....

As for ME, I'd like a little bit more knowledge........

absolutely SPOT ON Bovril

thanks!

here're a few snaps of my successful 'airtests' - Brize to LGW in XM603, and back again in XM657 (no 655 )...

all dolls-eyes and warning lamps out, thanks to Bovril's tuition



bomb doors open



no bombs though



finals for LGW runway 26



then into 657 for the return leg



smokin' like a good'un



and safely down at Brize



Vulcan in FSX has become fun again

[Wedgy]

Nice

[Saracenman]

Bovril - IRIS Vulcan flying superbly thanks!

couple of questions though:

1) which Vulcan has the bombs in?

2) can you drop them?

3) does the tail brake 'chute function? I've tried all sorts, but not seen it stream yet

sm

[Bovril]

1) XM597 has the bombs



2) not that i know of

3) yes... watch the airspeed and then select from of panel

[Saracenman]

nice one - thanks Bovril!

i think that Wedgy and i might be trying that out tomorrow

[Dan4th]

Port Stanley???????

Danf.

[Saracenman]

tempting!

[Dan4th]

I was thinking that perhaps the next
"Challenge" might in some way involve
that location.......

Bombing Accuracy, say?????

IRIS Vulcan start quick

Brilliant mate...thanks. I just spent over an hour figuring all that ou lol. I got there in the end but that clip is perfect

Oh yeah, got my Iris today now need to learn to fly her

[Saracenman]

much MUCH better than the other Vulcan

thanks Bovril - it's actually quite irritating having to start her up after every crash

[Bovril]

the website has issued a quick start patch for those who dont want to use the normal start

No surprise there then SM

[Saracenman]

thanks Bovril - patch installed

i can now crash rapidly

[Bovril]

next version i hope to get the bl**dy sound on

glad i have helped a few

[Saracenman]

???

sound works fine for me!

[Bovril]

strange .. it not play sound on my machine ! just on the file.... me puzzled... but investigating

[Saracenman]

no idea Bovril, sorry

i do know that FSX can get its knickers in a knot sometimes with the sound; from time to time, as soon as i start FSX, i get the glorious sound of four VC10 Conways, and i haven't even selected my aircraft!
