Harpoon Fire Tanker Fix

Postby Milton » Wed Sep 02, 2015 12:33 am

For those of you who downloaded the Harpoon Fire Tanker, I found an issue that was preventing the tanks door from opening and retardant to be dropped.

In the aircraft,cfg Smokesystem section, comment out the smoke.0 line as shown:

[smokesystem]
//smoke.0 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant //Remove or comment out for FSX
smoke.1 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant
smoke.2 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant
smoke.3 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant
smoke.4 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant

After that fix, you will be able to bring up the Control window (shift+4), and select the doors in order: Door 1, Door 2, Door 3, Door 4 to release 200 gals per door.

Close the 2 doors by clicking Door 1 and 2 when done.

Thanks for the fix to that. I edited the text, and am going to try it out. Before I do, I want to take a moment to do this:

This plane is VERY good. I am thoroughly enjoying it. I just installed it tonight, and am completely thrilled about its everything.
There are some pretty good freeware models out there, and if this is your work (Mr. Milton Shupe I presume) You deserve a big "thank you" and an "Atta boy!"

Quite impressed. I am going to get back in there now, just wanted to say "Thank you", so that way when the complaints or issues start coming in, and you potentially start to doubt yourself, hopefully you'll remember that some guy gave a lengthy and sincere thanks.

Dag nabbit. No sooner do I say "Thanks", I start complaining.
On my machine, I noticed something. Maybe I should post a new thread, but it's a similar issue, I think. Something simple.

The base pack, with the bare metal and navy versions and so forth, at dusk, the fuselage is translucent. Everything else seems fine. May be just my machine, but "OH!" Steves DX10 fixer! Ill try that before I make this a formal bug...
