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.

FS2004


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.
 

 

FSX


 

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.
