Hello,
What a nice surprise this morning here in Europe.
Excellent imagery with very high resolutions at airports. Everything blends perfectly. Tree and building are simply perfect, looks 100% coverage to me. Roof top colors are very realistic. Great work.
Airports are very nicely detailed with tons of objects.
A very big thank to the team. I can't wait to fly the whole archipelago.
May I suggest a very small correction?
I have noticed those duplicate static helos at PHBK.
My first Italian airport for AFS2 : https://flight-sim.org/filebas…airport-for-bella-italia/
It is designed to work with Bella Italia packs 1 to 6 from Schnuffelduffel : https://flight-sim.org/filebas…?filebase/87-eu-it-italy/
Extract to the folder "places" where you installed the rest of Italy.
It fits nicely with the existing cultivation without any modification.
Enjoy.
Sylvain
It is located in the Alps, Between Trento and Venice
Maybe this is a limitation of Sketchup, I do not see, how to name internal objects.
PS: naming the texture grass_color does not change the shadows.
Hello,
You can change the name of the object in the .tgi file generated by Model ConverterX.
Simply edit it with notepad++ or a similar text editor before converting to .tmd
I have fond memories flying the hawaian islands in the MS Flight (RIP) days with the Maule and the Icon A5 or the Cub. Can't wait to fly there again.
Thank you Sylvain for your help, no I don't have pedals, and I don't fly in VR, but only with a Joystick and the screen.
So, if I understand correctly, I replace the tmd. of this one, by the old version?
But then the changes that you made for the brakes and the engine sound, I can not take advantage of it? Damage.
In the new download, you have a sub folder named "_variants". There you will find the tmd's corresponding to ruddersteering or brakesteering.

Display MoreThank you very much Sylvain for this new update!
However I noticed that the front wheel no longer reacts with the joystick handle?
Is it possible to modify in the tmd.?
And in what line, thank you!
Hello Pascal,
By default, you steer the aircraft with the differential brakes. If you don't have rudder-pedals, it's impossible. You will find a rudder steering version in the variants folder. Simply copy the tmd file and overwrite the existing one.
Hello everybody. I have uploaded a new version.
https://flight-sim.org/filebas…p?entry/694-tecnam-p2008/
Remove old version and unzip new one in My Documents/Aerofly FS2/aircraft/
P2008 v1.1 change log
Model
Outside rear side windows are now black and opaque (like in the real aircraft).
Systems
-Ground brake steering is now much smoother.
-Electric aileron trim is now disabled when battery is off.
-Oil pressure rises faster to normal (cold and dark version only).
-More realistic stick movements.
Navigation
Removed the non-operational OBS indicator and replaced it with a DME which displays in the center of the radio. You can read the distance to the selected VOR, the relative ground speed and the estimated time to reach the VOR station.
Flight model
-Reworked the flight dynamics to get closer to the real aircraft values.
-Take off: full power, rotate at 55 KTS. After initial climb, reduce power to 75% and trim the aircraft for a climb rate of about 800FPM at 75 KTS.
-Max speed of 118 KTS @ 2.450 RPM at 2.000 FT
-Cruise speed of 110 KTS @ 2.250 RPM at 2.000 FT
-Reduced nose down tendency in descent.
Sound
-Fixed bug that caused door sound to trigger before the door was completely closed.
-Reworked slightly the engine sound mapping.
-Reworked ground roll vibrations sound.
-New fuel pump sound.
Display MoreHello Sylvain,
I have already read the readme.
But I would like to know whether there is the possibility of how realistic to steer with the brakes.
But not so extreme. As already mentioned, I have already set the controls to minimum and if I only brake a little, the plane reacts too extreme.
I can not imagine that if I push my foot down two centimeters, the plane almost swings 90 degrees.
Of course within tolerance. I say that I don't even drive 5kmh and the plane reacts so violently.
But if there is no other option, then I just use the unrealistic control as suggested in the readme.
Ah, and thanks for the answer.
The plane is fun!
Ok, let's try this:
In the P2008.tmd file at line 301 find this block
<[product][LeftBrakeProduct][]
<[string8][Inputs][ LeftBrake.Output 0.5 ]>
>
<[product][RightBrakeProduct][]
<[string8][Inputs][ RightBrake.Output -0.5 ]>
>The 0.5 and -0.5 values are the max angle of the nose wheel. Try reducing the value progressively until you have a realistic behavior.
Hello,
You will find the answer in the manual: C:\Users\user\Documents\Aerofly FS 2\aircraft\p2008\_manual.
QuoteDisplay MoreGround steering
The aircraft is steered on the ground using the toe brakes. This is how the real aircraft is designed.
This feature requires a bit of practice but you should quickly get used to it. Just give a little thrust and
as soon as the aircraft begins to roll, apply gently left or right brake to turn the nose of the aircraft.
The function works only below 25 knots to avoid extreme instability of the plane. Above 25 knots,
apply normal rudder to steer the aircraft. Note that you can also use rudder at lower speed but this
will have little if no effect on the aircraft direction. At best, you will be able to maintain the plane on
the center line.
Rudder steering option
For those who don’t have a differential brake system, it’s impossible to steer the aircraft so I included
a normal steering version of the configuration file (p2008.tmd).
Installation of the rudder steering version
In the p2008 (or p2008c) folder you will find a sub-folder “_variants” containing two folders :
-brakesteering
-normalsteering
Simply copy the p2008.tmd file of the desired version in the main installation folder and replace the
existing file, restart the sim and that’s it.
Hello Kenneth,
Where does this Icon A5 come from? I have never seen it in AFS2.
Hello Thomas,
You can download the P2008 on flight-sim.org. Sign in or create an account if you don't have one and go to filebase >addons aircraft > Tecnam
Thank you Gerdam.
Hello Michael,
See below. You have to do the reverse operation to add the head back.
Can you check this:
In the p2008.tmd file, search for "PilotHead" it should read like below.
<[graphics_human][Pilot][] <[string8][GeometryList][ PilotBody PilotHead ]>remove the PilotHead and leave only PilotBody
<[graphics_human][Pilot][] <[string8][GeometryList][ PilotBody ]>Don't know where it is but all I can say is the aircraft is really very nice ! 
Thank you for this part of my country, Belgium.
Keep on the good job a little to the south..., well actually it would be great to fill another gap between True Earth Netherlands and Switzerland. 
You can also easily fix the repaint.tmr files yourself. It's only a small change in the text file.
How please?
Thank you all for your comments. I'm really glad you like my work.
Now my P2008 is finished, I finally had the time to download your Norway project. I only made a 30 minutes flight so far but I must say I'm impressed by the textures.
Thank to you and all involved in this project for the mesh and the cultivation. Very nice scenery.
Display MoreWhat a fantastic job. Excellent work, and I am so glad I was able to play a very very small part in suggesting the Canadian and British liveries. Now with Michael's work in the UK, I can fly it there (have already!), and PNW has already seen the Canadian bird in its skies. Great job. I am in the process of writing an article for a leading website about AFS2, and your machine will be featured in some of the screenshots.
Regards,
- Kenneth
(Ps... Are you going to continue building aircraft for AFS2?)
Thank you Kenneth, glad you enjoy my work.
I sure will continue developing for AFS2, aircraft or airports or who knows, complete sceneries but for now I will take a few weeks of rest...
