The Tiger Moth Collection

FS2002 Version
The original version for FS2002 can be found
at AVSIM and Flightsim.com.
FS2004 Version
The release of FS2004 saw a few changes in
dynamics which caused problems with the original FS2002 Tiger Moth. The
aircraft would still fly in FS2004 but trim and handling were no longer
correct. On the plus side an advantage of FS2004 is that flight instruments
are XML coded and it became possible to make a complete panel from scratch.
In converting the aircraft to FS2004 I have
addressed both issues. The flight dynamics problems are cured and I have now
rebuilt the aircraft panel with a full set of XML gauges.
FSX Version
For FSX the most substantial change is the
reworking of the textures to DXT5 standard. New FSX sections have been added
to the aircraft.cfg file and thumbnails for each aircraft will appear in the
FSX Aircraft Menu.

Tiger Panel Development
Original FS2002 Panel
The original Tiger Moth panel shown below
used gauges already present in FS2002. Only the Turn and Slip and Oil
Pressure gauges were true to the real aircraft's panel.

New DH82 panel with photo realistic gauges.
For the XML panel I have used photographs of
the original instruments. An added bonus is that several gauges have
alternative displays as real world Tiger Moths sport a wide variety of
cockpit instrumentation.

Clicking on ASI, Tachometer and Altimeter will change each dial to
alternative displays shown below

Note: The zips below do not include the
Floatplane version as yet - I am still working on it's flight dynamics. I
will release this as a separate file shortly.

If you have imported my FS2002 Tiger Moth
into FS2004 I would strongly urge that you delete it from your system before
installing the FS2004 set. FS doesn't like duplicate aircraft with identical
titles in your aircraft folders.
Should you have additional repaints in your
FS2002 collection remember to copy the texture folders into the new DH82A
folder structure and copy the relevant aircraft.cfg [fltsim] sections over to the new
aircraft.cfg file.

The new FSX version has not been
comprehensively tested yet
but no problems have been encountered so far. Should experience show that modifications are needed any
upgrades will be posted on this page.

A new aircraft.cfg file now adds CameraDefinition settings to the original file plus a few minor edits.
My sincere thanks to Paul at
ODG Scenery for sending me the
camera data.
