• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

RELEASED: Fokker T.5 bomber for FSX/P3D

xD

Not too much to show of the complete thing. Texturing for more parts is going on, like this Van Heijst bomb release panel.

When I see the word "afstandbediening" I can only think about the damn thing and the TV, this is better though ;)
And should I imagine the knob in the down-right corner to be for some sort "" types of bombing"?
It looks absolutely incredible anyway! very well done Daan!

Traductuion of that word please :P
The model is awesome :)
 
If I were to do a direct translation from Afrikaanse (almost identical to dutch), it would be something like standoff service lol.

Well dispite it being similar I once had someone speaking Afrikaanse really fast to me and I couldn't follow what she said.... Though I understood every word individually, but it somehow didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, I guess some meanings have become different...
Kinda interesting to see how languages develop I guess, they're similar though ;) I'm wondering if there are similar differences in translations with the words on that panel.
 
That all looks really good Daan! Very nice, can't wait to have another Fokker in the virtual hangar. :)
 
Finally, the bomber starts talking back to me! I started on the labels, which is coming along nicely.

The panel at the right fuselage side. Everything is incomplete in multiple ways, but, anyway... Note: the fuseholders have got their correct color designation.

Engine and trim controls at the left side.

The rotatable console of the observer/commander/bombardier.

Have a nice one!

Here I am thinking the term "multitasking" was a twenty-first century thing ;)

It lloks great Daan. But why is the label Trim R Rudder upside down? (is the knob fully turned?)

Anyway a lovely job you did there, cannot wait to see more!

I didn't notice I unwrapped it in the fully turned position. So it should be inverted, for sure. The indicator itself shows that it's not turned yet.

I bet you would be able to fly the aircraft by reading all labels alone :D

One may have noticed there are two levers for throttle (GAS), two for propeller (PROPELLER VERSTELLING) but only one for mixture (H.GAS*). The mix control for both engines is controlled by one lever, the blue one. It has two positions: normal and lean, and is automatically regulated.

You can see a doornkob lever at the left console. This is the throttle friction.

The main power switch, red and denoted as HOOFDSCHAKELAAR, has two positions (well...), IN and UIT, which is IN and OUT... The label is red, probably because of its importance. In Crash museum, close to Schiphol here, there are remains of the D.21 (big wreck) and of two T.5s (small pieces). A label in the D.21 showcase said: 'TKOPPELE' 'UURBEWE', which would say: ontkoppelen stuurbeweging, or unlock flight controls. Seen here next to the carburetor instruction plate of the D.21.

I couldn't locate this label in the D.21 cockpit, and the D.21 doesn't have a functionality like this. Until I read through the T.5 manual, where the second pilot/top gunner could 'ungear' the first pilot's flight controls from the system to have full control. Same kind of red label. Here we see it in real:

Cheers!

* H.GAS is an abbreviation for "hoogtegas", which literally means "altitude throttle". As altitude increases, air density decreases, but the fuel-air-mixture should remain the optimum yet. So it's the throttle for altitude ;) I sometimes have difficulties in linking the Dutch prewar nomenclature to the modern nomenclature.
 
Splendid work, Daan!

I had a short flight with the D.21 the other day, and it was like... whooooo! The sound, added to force feedback (yeah I know... who flies FF these days?!) really made the thing shake with realism. I barely had a second to take a glance at the instruments. Flying that beast by night must not have been for the faint of heart... Thank you for that great airplane!

The T.5 will be another fantastic piece of art! :D

Cheers :)
