FSX/P3Dv3,v4,v5 Sea Fury T20 The Sea Fury was a fighter aircraft developed for the British Fleet Air Arm by Hawker during World War II. The first T.20 made its maiden flight on 15 January 1947. The T.20 was withdrawn in June 1956, and twenty were cleared for export, going to Burma, Cuba and to West Germany, where they were used at target tugs as the TT.20. For more than 50 years, the National Championship Air Races have been held annually in Reno, Nevada. Dreadnought and Furias are modified T.20 Hawker Seafury powered by the worlds largest production built piston engine, the Pratt & Whitney R-4360-63B, The Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major was the largest-displacement aviation piston engine ever mass produced in the U.S., putting out around 4000HP. This engine was nicknamed "corncob" with the spiraled 28cylinder setup. Other modifications include a second oil cooler, increased vertical fin & refined canopies. First flown in August 1983 it was built and modified by the Sanders family for unlimited air racing. It's twice a champion at Reno, it's debut year of 83' with Neil Anderson at the controls and again in 86' piloted this time by Rick Brickert. Brian Sanders also has a victory at the one and only Tunica air races. Engine: Pratt & Whitney R-4360-63B Power: 4000 hp Crew: 2 (1 for Furias) Wing span: 38 ft 45in Length: 34ft 8in Height: 15ft 10.5in Empty Weight: 9942 lbs Maximum Weight: 11,930lb Max Speed: 510 mph (450 Knots) Service Ceiling: 35,600ft Effects -------- -Canopy and cowl flaps open by the standard keys. -On startup there is automatic engine smoke and a (delayed) orange exhaust flame. -Wing vortex effect appears by default at 2.5g or quick roll rate. -Contrails start at 20000 ft. Contrail can been seen at high altitude, depending upon temperature. Key Commands ------------- We thought that it would be useful to draw your attention to the following key commands - Shift+E Opens/closes front and rear canopy Cntrl+Shift+C Closes cowl flaps Cntrl+Shift+V Opens cowl flaps L Switches lights on/off O Switches strobes on/off Shift+W Wings fold/unfold Installation: ============== -Unzip "SF corncob reno racers " into a temporary file and move the "SF corncob reno racers" folder into the main Aircraft directory. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -Read instructions carefully when installing the gauges , say YES...when asked if the gauges sources should be trusted. If you say no....most of the gauges are not going to work ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -Leave all gauges in the SF corncob reno racers panel folder. -Copy the effects into the Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X\effects folder. -In P3D, change propellerP3D.bmp (in texture.common ) to propeller.bmp and remove the original one. Flying the beasts: ============== Both models are overpowered, delicate flying machines. At take off, use about half power and correct with right rudder. The planes take off without up elevator. After gear retract the mdls accelerate very rapidly..Down elevator trim is needed for horizontal flight. Up to about 400 Knots the controls react normaly. Right wing goes down owing to torque, correct with rudder or ailerontrim. When speed goes up to 450 Knots, the controls freeze and the planes react very sluggisly owing to the high 0.70 Mach number. If you want to keep control, it is better to slightly reduce throttle.
