Hello everyone! This mod is a fixed version of THE Stoat Muldoon's unreleased PBY-5A Catalina. I was given the opportunity to fix some issues caused by the game updating, and to then release the mod! Keep in mind, this mod is very OLD AND UNFINISHED(stoat asked me to say this) and may not meet the expectations of modern beamng drive mods. However, it is still a fully functional amphibious plane. The model lacks an interior, and the textures are old. In the future, I will update this file with a new version using .json for the materials rather than c#. The mod has working landing gear, with wheel brakes, 2 working engines, working landing floats for water landings, and working control surfaces. Controls for Keyboard: W/S for Prop Pitch(need to increase for flight) T/G for Throttle, F/H for Yaw, UP/DOWN for Pitch, and LEFT/RIGHT for Roll. Other keybinds are B for Landing Gear, N for Landing Floats, and Y for wheel brakes. Controls for Xbox Controller: Left Joystick for pitch and roll, left and right triggers for yaw, x for throttle and prop pitch increase, and a for throttle and prop pitch decrease. Dpad Right for landing gear, Dpad Down for landing floats, and dpad left for wheel brakes. The mod has ui messages for throttle percentage and prop pitch percentage, as well as temporary messages displaying the state of the landing gear and landing floats, incase the player may be flying in first person. A HUGE thanks to Stoat Muldoon for letting me publish this, and for creating so many awesome mods! Known Issues: Rolling left/right can cause yawing left/right, I will experiment with this later when I get more time for this project. Crashing into the water at high speeds can cause instabilities, I don't think I will have the time or motivation to tune all of the jbeam to fix this. When taking off from the water hitting the tail can break the rudder, I will fix this when(or if) i get the time to work on the ailerons as well. Thanks to everyone! Please leave feedback below!
this is really nice, is the throttle only supposed to get it to 50mph though or what am i doing wrong? im pretty sure im doing something incorrectly
Make sure to use prop pitch as well, you cannot get enough speed for takeoff without it, default mapping is w/s
Stoat the goat (and you as well for publishing these) There are actually quite a lot of private plane mods for Beam
Both engines should be on by default, and actually because of the way beamng handles 2 engines, turning off the engine only turns off the left engine. So to start the right engine I suppose reset in place?
i tried it but it doesnt solve it i think some other mods are conflicting there 700+ is a bit overkill xD
ah np i just spawn it way up and let it glied and that is working quiet good flies like a charm an landing on water is also very sick.
this is fantastic! flies like a dream. some nice skins would really brighten this old beast up. only issue is i got no engine sound, is that to be expected due to the age/state of the mod? or something on my end?
I actually do not play with sound very often haha, so I have no clue. I dont believe there were engine sounds in the mod when I was first given it, so I dont know if there are gonna be any at all.
The engines, the Twin Wasp and the Twin Cyclone respectively, would sound similar, but they would not be identical. It wouldn't be too bad of a placeholder though.
for some reason when i hit the V key, only one engine shuts down, but one stays on. is there a way that i can troubleshoot this, also whenever i make the plane climb, the speed drops and the plane stalls and is unrecoverable
