Simshed Wessex

[baz]

Hi,

New to the forum & looking for a little help with the Simshed Wessex.

Have installed Simshed Wessex in FSX & it flys great.

Everything working the way it should with a couple of exceptions.

Wingfold will not fold blades & tail

Tailhook not operating windscreen wiper in VC panel

Anyone have a fix for these probs ?

Thanks
Baz

It's a FS2004 (FS9) model and unfortunately these 2 features are not FSX compatible.

Thanks Tom & Jim for getting back to me.

Jim I realise it's an FS9 model, but it's just that I had a couple of other FS9 aircraft working fine in FSX, namely
Kazunori Ito's Gannet & also the ALPHA BLEU CIEL CORSAIR F4U-7 .

The Wingfold & Tailhook operated as normal on the Corsair.

On the Gannet , wingfold & Tailhook operated as below;
/ = Tail hook Open/Shut
Shift+E = Canopy & Wingfold Open/Shut

Was hoping I may have been able to fiddle with something on the Wessex to get the folding mechanism & windscreen wiper working, but looks like that's not to be.

Thanks again,
Baz

I use wingfold and tailhook on my models (FS9) and that works fine in FS.X too

In which case it must be something about the way Brian programmed the model (FSDS vs GMax maybe??????)

My FS9 Wessex has a functioning WS Wiper anfd Tail-Fold but my FSX version doesn't, so it's not specific to your PC Baz. Therefore it must be endemic within the model, and I suspect it will be something to do with the Version of FSDS that Brian authored it in??

Hi Jim,

Wessex WS wiper & Tailfold also work fine for me in FS9 It's just a prob in FSX, looks like I just have to live with it if I wish operate the Wessex in FSX, but I think I can put up with that.
Thanks again Jim.

Hi Folks

Baz -
If the Gannet is using SHIFT+E,
then it's using aircraft exit mechanism
to operate the Canopy & Wingfold Open/Shut.

Code: Select all

        <Entry>
            <Key>SHIFT+E</Key>
            <Down>TOGGLE_AIRCRAFT_EXIT</Down>
        </Entry>

The default FSX key-mapping does not include wingfold or tailhook, (Acceleration includes tailhook).
e.g.
The Acceleration F/A-18 model has wingfold built-in,
but won't work till you edit the key-mapping.



Has anyone tried the Wessex
after they'd mapped the FSX keys ?
Can't test myself due to videocard hardware issue.

Please see - FSDeveloper - Wiki - Key Mapping (FSX)

Wingfold and tailhook are not assigned in FS9 either

Perhaps though, after using what ever the chosen keys for a long time, a change is made to FS.X forgetting it needs to be set up??


Just a thought
