Looking for some alpha testers who have Soundmod 93 installed. Need some feedback for the FM changes.
Keep in mind this is the very heavy production Ta152C-1 version with nearly a ton of fuel and full armour weight, flight and combat equipment, etc. All up it's about half a ton heavier than Oleg's model and is not exactly a fairy on the runway. Unless using a bomber base, you won't even make it off the ground with a full fuel load unless you use MW50 and it's real sluggish under 300m at low speed, just within acceptable limits of inherent stability as was historical. Once you get going however that large prop and powerful large bore motor can really get up and boogie.
I spent special emphasis getting the supercharger pressures and performance curves right for the various engine operational conditions.
The main goal here is to capture the correct 'feel' of this heavy fighter, whilst maintaining totally accurate performance specifications under the given conditions. Do not expect any kind of hotrod as it was never our intention. We are definitely not "fantasy-waffers" and we're really just changing the feel of this model for the sim pilot, using correctly expanded model variants with historical and historically planned equipment changes.
Also the cockpit bugs of a non-working fuel guage and tank lamps hasn't been fixed, nor the WM. This alpha version is just for a few select individuals to give us some feedback on FM changes.
NOTHING RELEASED OR PASSED ON BY US WILL ALTER ANY EXISTING AIRCRAFT. Even this alpha test version will add a new slot marked "Ta-152C-1/R11, 1945" with its own FM and will not otherwise affect any il2 installation aircraft slots. That is the disclaimer as per site policy.
Interested parties with Soundmod 93 installed can PM me with their email details.
YOU MUST BE TOTALLY EXPERIENCED WITH MANUALLY INSTALLING NEW SLOT A/C MODS. You must be completely comfortable about the possibility of messing up your install due to bugs or incompatability. We will accept no responsibility for any effects totalled by this raw alpha test version to your il2 installation or your computer system. This is NOT a general public release but a private, very limited release FOR EXPERIENCED MODDERS for the purposes of initial flight testing FM changes.
We won't be helping you with the install or any issues with the install. Simply getting feedback about the changes made thus far.
That is the disclaimer for our team.
Cheers.
