Super VC10 Panel Upgrade Part 2

File Description:
This panel upgrade for David Maltby's Super VC10 incorporates significant major changes. First the Super VC10 has now become a stand alone aircraft within the "DMFS Shared Files" file structure. This allows for many changes that distinguish the Super VC10 from the Standard. Some already present and some ongoing. The main panel is now in widescreen format i.e. "not stretched!" Many hundreds of other changes have also been made some unseen that make significant differences to the performance of the model. For example the Super has a fin tank now modelled along with correct fuel transfer and jettison procedures. The engines have been totally overhauled with new thrust curves so that their performance is as accurate as possible across the power spectrum. A consequence of this is that throttle control is now much more precise. Internal engine sounds have been completely revised and are as close as possible to the sound one would hear from the cockpit. There are in addition numerous new panels that are fully functional such the Oxygen panel. This means that cabin altitude and depressurisation are all potential factors and must be attended to. Though you do have an oxygen mask (so don it if necessary or face the consequences!). There is a tiller for ground manoeuvring. There are just too many changes and additions to list here but they are listed in the documentation. Another important addition is refuelling. Refuelling can only be done from an underwing point. To assist is a dedicated new fuel uplift spreadsheet which incorporates a facsimile of a real Super VC10 load sheet allowing you to change passenger loads etc. Everything is explained in the "Technical and Operational Procedures Manual" pdf file as well as the "VC10 FLYING MANUAL" pdf file which contains all the full checklists not cut down for sim use. With ongoing work the intention is that this will become a "study" simulation. If you do not already have David Maltby's Super VC10 model then download it from here. http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/vickers_vc10.htm Follow his instructions and make sure everything is working as expected before downloading these updates.

New Vickers VC10 panel, Part 1

File Description:
This is part 1 of two downloads.

This project is based on David Maltby's panel for the Vickers VC10, model available here: www.dmflightsim.co.uk/vickers_vc10.htm.



The project's aim is to enhance the cockpit experience by re-activating numerous gauges, switches and lights that previously had no function. It also introduces some new gauges and windows that are not in the original model. And, to bring the cockpit procedures as close as possible to the real checklists. To this end it contains voicechecklist files, a cockpit briefing and interactions with the cabin crew including a safety briefing.

The cockpit instrumentation has also been brought up to date with modern requirements and practices. And, as well as a number of new additional windows there is also a new night cockpit. The checklists are taken from the original BOAC flight manual and are extremely detailed as they are designed for a three man crew! So, as a single "sim" pilot you will be very busy! I have made well over 100+ additions and changes making this a comprehensive update. The original model was very similar to how one drives a car. That is get in, turn on the ignition and drive off!! You will find this update very different as it intentionally brings you much much closer to the reality of handling a high performance heavy jet especially one as complex as the elegant VC10!

New Vickers VC10 Panel, Part 4

Images related to this file:

File Description: This project is based on David Maltby's panel. This update the first in the 50th Anniversary year of the VC10 (there are currently nine still flying) brings to fruition a number of extensive works in progress that have involved almost every gauge! The aircraft now has a fully integrated pressurisation and oxygen delivery system that conforms not only to the Flight Manual but also to ICAO regulations. Therefore cockpit mismanagement can potentially result in hypoxia! Besides this there are also a large number of new additions both in conformity with the Flight Manual and as extra visuals. It's now possible to "see" the Marshaller - There are new speed calls - and whilst you are preoccupied with your checklists the ground staff can be heard going about their business preparing for the flight as indicated also on the Ignition Panel. For a full list of changes view the VC10 Panel Update 4.doc For this latest update thanks must go to Edi Hirsch for his excellent NavInfo gauges and again to the Gurus at FSDeveloper.com for their advice. To install make sure you have installed the previous (linked) files beforehand.

Super VC10 Panel upgrade Part 8.2

File Description:
This is an important additional update for David Maltby's Super VC10 model regarding the engines, also requiring download of the previous updates 1 to 8 and 8.1. This update overcomes the bug that Microsoft introduced (left behind) in FS9 with regard to engine ignition (but corrected in FSX). In FS9 engine ignition is hard coded to 22%n2. Not all engines can be modelled in that way so in effect the ignition sequence has to be made to run "outside" the sim. Niot a new concept by any means but it does make the coding much more complex as lots of other factors have to be taken into account. In reality the RR Conway engines light-up at 11-12%n2 with the ignition being held on until about 24%n2. This has now been correctly modelled. The hot start procedure has also been re-modelled to fit the new code. In the process of coding i noticed that one of the engines tends to run a bit on the hot side so keep a watchfull eye.

New Vickers VC10 Panel, Part 6

File Description:
This update contains some ammendments to some background unseen gauges that control the simulation. But, importantly this update focuses mostly on fuel uplift. The external starboard underwing fuel gauges have been modelled so that you can refuel the aircraft realistically and in real time. The exterior fuel panel on the VC10 features both a manual and automatic mode. The automatic mode has been modelled. You simply preset the gauges for the required uplift and when reached the fuel is automatically cut off exactly as done on the real aircraft. See the documentaion for a fuller explanation.

New Vickers VC10 Panel, Part 5

File Description:
This update is the product of a major aircraft refit and extensive engine overhaul. All the engine problems that were inherent in the original model (and there were many) have finally been resolved.

Gone is the unreal and potentially engine wrecking surge on start-up. And, the reversers kicking in while the engines are off! Also the engine performance profiles have been completely re-modelled to conform to the correct specifications and engine limitations schedule. New cockpit sounds have been introduced to give the truecockpit ambience. So now you can at last hear the famous Conway howl and scream from within the cockpit (just!). Check lists have been further extended. Furthermore there are four completely new panels plus numerous tweaks and enhancements to existing gauges. All fully illustrated and explained in the documentation.

New Vickers VC10 panel, Part 3 "Overnight Maintenance"

File Description:
Before you download this update make sure you have installed "new_vc10_panel_part_1.zip" and "new_vc10_panel_part_2.zip" first.

This update concentrates mostly on two areas. The Engine Fire System and cabin temperature. The Engine Fire System has been extensively modified and is fully operational. It is as realistic as possible allowing you to do both practice fire drills and "real" fire drills. If you encounter a multiple engine fire it will require consumate piloting skill, even on the VC10!! To help you I have redone the speed reference placard. In the previous release the cabin temperature control was not functioning correctly. Now it is.
