Golden Age Simulations : Stearman Model 75

[LagaffeVFR5476]

Whether these files are inside the main addon directory or outside, the general volume of the addon will be the same, you agree?

On the other hand, as I told you, there is nothing in the registry so if these additional directories clutter you: nothing forbids you to move them elsewhere as you see fit or even to delete them, which will not interfere with the operation of the addon.

I develop since 2008, my site frenchvfr.free.fr is well known with 10 years of exitence and 3653991 subscribers. The number of people who follow and download my creations (freeware or payware) speak for me.

For a long time people considered the earth flat, is that why Galileo followed this belief, he thought differently and proved it. I never said that this choice was the TRUE, it’s just my choice. Sorry if we do not share the same opinions.

I’m pretty sure this forum is not meant for customer service or product support in this way

Instead please use the developer’s own support channel - located here

Support - Golden Age Simulations

[Kapustick]

My posts were just one person’s (my) observations and a possible delivery alternative to consider, and something others might consider when purchasing. I wasn’t looking for support for the product - it works.

I believe translation is hindering communication.

great plane, love it.

Bought Stearman this morning and then proceeded to fly on Air Mail Route 18 from “28B Humboldt DOCILF” to “48 Ventosa DOCILF”

By Golly, I like this Aircraft

What’s with the numbered towers??

[MajesticRain926]

Air Mail Wayfinders of the 1920-1930s
It’s from an Addon: Arrows Across America

Each tower had rotating light beacon along with a concrete arrow painted yellow pointing the way to next Beacon

This route in screenshots is CAM 18: San Francisco to Salt Lake City
( CAM = Contract Air Mail )

US, as well as all other nation’s airmail routes and methods is an unexplored facet of aviation. As a civilian flight simulator MSFS2024 would do well to explore this vitally important area from the early years of aviation especially, complete with aircraft, schedules, airfields and achievement logs.

Awesome, I was wondering if it was the arrows. Thanks for linking to the addon!

Guess curious if the Male Pilot is wearing a M-422 Jacket ?

[FusionHorse151]

the GAS provided pilot and co-pilot or trainee are wearing military style flight jackets.
If you are looking for an exact replication of the US M-422 though I would say these are in that style - but not exact reproductions.
You can fly using any of the default MSFS provided aviators, or use the ones provided by GAS, or you can purchase and use the GotFriends Avitars military style aviators. All will work with the GAS Stearman.

W.I.P screenshots:

It’s just a WIP version on which I am adding the complementary elements (mast, pants) that can be used with the different versions that will be provided.

PS: The Pratt & Whitney R-985 with 450 HP is yet integrated. Some adjustments will be necessary to best adapt the behavior of the engine to the real characteristics.

[LagaffeVFR5476]

Hello,

In the 15 years that I have been creating for Microsoft simulators, I have always tried to be honest with people who send me questions and I have never dodged an answer.
Yesterday I received a message asking me to specify the origin of the A75 VSI XML code and telling me that it gave an underestimated value of at least 60%.

I will therefore answer these two questions:

• the XML code used is that of my Menestrel HN-433 developed in 2010 as a PartInfo form and which I adapted as a Behavior model two years ago when I released it for MSFS. The animation was done on 120 keyframes and between -6 and +6.

XML Code for FSX:

<Animation guid="8173e3be-ec3a-4ce8-a2f3-0e51671a17f4" length="120" name="needle_vsi" type="Sim" typeParam="AutoPlay" typeParam2="needle_vsi"/>
<PartInfo>
<Name>needle_vsi</Name>
<AnimLength>120</AnimLength>
<Animation>
<Parameter>
<Code>(A:VERTICAL SPEED, ft/min) 100 / 60 + </Code>
</Parameter>
</Animation>
</PartInfo>

XML code for MSFS:

<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
<ANIM_NAME>INSTRUMENT_Needle_VSI_1</ANIM_NAME>
<ANIM_CODE>(A:VERTICAL SPEED, ft/min) 100 / 60 +</ANIM_CODE>
<ANIM_LENGTH>120</ANIM_LENGTH>
<ANIMATION_OFFSET_CODE>@NeedleVibration</ANIMATION_OFFSET_CODE>
</UseTemplate>

• as regards the information given by the VSI, after verification with SimWatcher in parallel with MSFS, it is proved that the indication given is the actual value divided by 2.
  In fact the animation is still done on 120 keyframes but between -3 and +3
  So the code was changed in that form: (A:VERTICAL SPEED,ft/min) 3000 + 50 /

This code change will be made directly in the next Super Stearman and reflected on the Boeing Stearman A75 as soon as possible.

If you want to do it by ourself, it is the file
“gas-stearman-model-75-common\Golden_Age_Simulations\GAS_A75_Interior.xml”
which should be modified. With Notepad++, simply replace with a copy/paste the two paragraphs located in lines 1096 and 1324 by theses new paragraphs:
A) line 1096 :

    <!-- INSTRUMENTS Instructor #################################### -->
    <Component ID="INSTRUMENTS_Instructor">
      <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
        <ANIM_NAME>INSTRUMENT_Needle_VSI_1</ANIM_NAME>
        <ANIM_CODE>(A:VERTICAL SPEED,ft/min) 3000 + 50 / </ANIM_CODE>
        <ANIM_LENGTH>120</ANIM_LENGTH>
	<ANIMATION_OFFSET_CODE>@NeedleVibration</ANIMATION_OFFSET_CODE>
      </UseTemplate>

B) line 1324:

    <!-- INSTRUMENTS Student ####################################### -->
    <Component ID="INSTRUMENTS_STUDENT">
      <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
        <ANIM_NAME>INSTRUMENT_Needle_VSI_2</ANIM_NAME>
        <ANIM_CODE>(A:VERTICAL SPEED,ft/min) 3000 + 50 / </ANIM_CODE>
        <ANIM_LENGTH>120</ANIM_LENGTH>
      </UseTemplate>

I hope this will answer the questions asked definitively

[Spad611]

Well done. I hope this satisfies all concerns. Now on to the Super Stearman.

[BufordTX]

For the A75 version, why does full throttle only go to about 22 inches manifold pressure at full throttle? Sea level, and it shows about 30 with the engine off.

[Farr1225]

Your manifold pressure gauge will show whatever atmospheric pressure is when the engine is off. It will be lower than atmospheric pressure when the engine is running and only higher than atmospheric pressure if there is a supercharger or turbocharger adding boosted air into the intake.
