Hello! This mod is a sort of "revamp" of an already amazing and working mod made by @DrowsySam which you can find here. All credits for the original mod go to him! This revamp reworks the controls of the plane, allowing you to fly it using the more conventional aircraft controls in beamng. I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE PRE MAPPED CONTROLLER SUPPORT. you will need to map it yourself Current controls: T/G throttle, F/H yaw, UP/DOWN pitch, LEFT/RIGHT roll, and B for flaps. Flaps also have been reworked, allowing you to use 1 key to cycle through the options. Previously the flaps were activated with lowbeam and highbeam controls, which dont show up in the upper right corner, so some people(incuding me) didnt even know flaps where a feature. The new keybind shows up in the corner, and allows you to toggle between: Flaps Up, Takeoff Flaps, and Landing Flaps. Major thing this revamp adds, is an animated interior. There is now a working joystick, yaw pedals, and throttle/mixture knobs. Another major thing this revamp adds, is merging the refreshed mod with my WIP Unfinished Biplane mod. This means that there is now a biplane option for the ds-8. The biplane simply, well, makes a biplane. Another set of wings, and a specialized biplane engine to allow for slower flight than the regular engine. Please let me know of any issues, and keep in mind, this is WIP, I am going to continue working on some stuff to add new features! Pictures are here: (and also a sneaky preview of one of my other wip mods, just to get some more attention haha)
I know that it would get more downloads, but the original mod was not mine, and I didnt create the most attractive parts of the plane, its model and flight characteristics. If drowsy sam chose not to put it on the repo I wont either.
what a beaut! floats and guns are always a great add-on, but this already has a lot to offer as is. excited to add another one to the hanger!
Can't imagine actually flying this thing IRL, it's an absolute blast in-game but those exhausts blowing right back into the cockpit would be brutal
really good remaster and addition, but having floats would be cool. Also, if you could add something like "Flaps increase" or "Flaps decrease" then that would make that much better. Also, they only really slow down the plane rather than making it fly slower (at least as i've noticed). The main engine also isn't precise enough (in other words having something like the b-25, where it shows the percent(%) of throttle in the tachometer, and the engine RPM on the outside), and sometimes when i decrease the throttle it doesn't really decrease. Other than that it's fantastic.
I agree about almost everything you say haha. I had a pretty basic floats mod a while ago but never finished it and it wouldnt be worth finding those files, I will probably just redo them later if i get time to. As for the flaps, I kind of agree. I think it is nice to have just a simple keybind for it, so you dont need to worry about where you put them. I do need to tune them though eventually I will once I add more to this mod. For the throttle, I would love to get a throttle percent showing on the tachometer, and have tried to do it multiple times for both my spitfire mod and some unreleased ones. Unfortunately, I am not good enough with lua at the moment to do this, but I did find a way to display throttle percentage through ui messages in the top corner.
check the boats section of the repo haha, ive made a "few" boat mods, only posted 4 so far but have others available through threads(only 1 i think) and am working on several others.
