Milviz F-100D is out

The Milviz F-100D is really a "Knockout!!" I am just amazed at the distance they went to to capture the details, sharp "Edges" and Quirks the F-100 was really known for. I was awestruck the first time I got the Compressor Stall. It was exactly what I had heard about from those who actually flew it. Get it slow coming down final...you can feel the invite to the deadly "Sabre-Dance." Adverse yaw is there...and I'm working on staying on top of it as I jink and practice in the pattern. Visually, she is outstanding!! The F-100 was the best looking fighter in the inventory till the F-104 showed up. Only thing I have noticed on all the release repaints is the Colorado Flag on the Right Side of the tail is Backwards. The "C" is always a "C" and doesn't face backwards.

I need to figure out how to get the Pilot out and the Ladder and chocks on. I have made 3 flights, and probably 10 landings... Very much a period North American Fighter. BRAVO to Milviz.... These guys really know how to build "FIGHTERS!!!" It was certainly worth the wait!!!!
 
hey there ...

I've clicked and twisted every switch on the right hand console with no luck.If it makes a difference I've ticked the "thunderstorm lighting" before start up ??

Just a hunch. Look at the aircraft folder for a folder called "nightlighting." Do you see a file called Milviz_Lighting_Service.exe?

I click on the "nightlighting" folder then up pops a "texture" folder followed by 10 more folders but nothing called Milviz lighting service exe ??
 
Hmmm.. then you should have lights. You didn't mention any external lights. Did you try those and what happened?
 
I believe that all the lights are controlled by that file. Since the file exists (mine was quarantined by my AV program) and you have exterior lights, you should have interior lighting as long as you have power. Not sure what else to look for. Sorry.
 
... appreciate your effort , think I'II make an appointment with the MilViz service department.


Cheers once again !
 
I'm 99% sure that i know the fix to your problem with night lighting. I'm also 100% sure that as a MV team member i cant offer you support outside of the MV support forum. Rest assured I too had a "problem" with it and you'll be searching for a long time unless someone points the "fix" out to you.
 
Aircanuck & Rick,
Glad to hear I'm not the only one with the night lighting issues. I didn't even notice until I tried a night flight this evening. My symptoms and circumstances mirror Canuck's exactly. I'll pop over to the F-100 Support Forum and keep an eye out for the fix.

The odd thing is, when in external view, I can see the night VC lighting - but when viewing from the VC itself, it's as black as night.

Still love this plane, though. I can't get over how smoothly it runs.
 




The Danish Air Force used paint that weathered almost as fast as it was applied. I lifted this color of a hi-res pic I had, but I have the feeling it is a bit too light. Being colorblind doesn't help either. Would anyone have the RGB codes for the original paint that was used by the RDAF?

And I continued with the French sharkmouth:

Jankees, according to amarc.dk , the early matt green colour is FS 34079 (R 66 G 63 B 44 / hex #423f2c ), it was introduced in 1968. When it started to weather, it became more grey-ish. In the late 70'ies they started to use a gloss green variant: FS 14079 (R 81 G 82 B 64 / hex #515240).
If I look at your screenshots, your paints look quite right to me. Others have mentioned this before: It would be nice if MV could do an export model without refuel probe and with the surplus F-102 engine exhaust...
 
Can I add my name to the growing list of folk in the dark (literally) re' internal lighting:dizzy:

It looks good to me Jankees
That paint scheme certainly went through some dramatic changes through aging.
The USAF would have those birds in the paint barn every three days just to keep the higher ups from having a stroke.
