    Beaufighter Virtual Cockpit

    Anyone have a working one?

    The Blennie one works except for the Radiators funnily enough so I'm wondering if this is related to the Cowl animation that's missing.

    I tried copying over the ones from the German bombers but got errors so gave up.

    Probable because Beaufighter use different parameter for "Cowl Flaps" than Blenheim.

    Blenheim use C_WaterRadiator.0 data for "Cowl Flaps".

    Is this, in VC folder localize the folder Blenheim IV, make a copy of this folder and with Notepad open the file

    _EngineControls.ini

    Localize the lines C_WaterRadiator.0;

    And replace the first 3 lines with C_WaterRadiator.1;

    And the next 3 lines with C_WaterRadiator.2;

    Save the file, now the slider for Cowl Flaps in VC will work correct. I tested there.

    Then edit the file Cockpit.ini (inside the copied folder) and change the name Blenheim IV for Beaufighter

    Could use this Blenheim VC as template for make a Beaufighter VC.

    There's a issue on how C_WaterRadiator is used for Blenheim (by the way VC maker use this parameter) what can leading to misunderstanding cowl flaps status and "fried" engines, don't know if affect Beaufighter.

    Re: Beaufighter Virtual Cockpit

    thanks for this! am i doing something wrong, or is there no visual indication of flaps position other than the control in the actual cockpit? when i use my flaps up / down / neutral, i get the blue text telling me i pressed the button, but i do not see the needle move in the virtual cockpit, nor do i see anything on the wing of the beaufighter move.

    In Beaufighter cockpit flaps position indicator is at left, bellow landing gear monitoring lights and at left of flaps lever.

    In the VC picture I attach above, flaps are down ~15º.
