A very nice freeware Cessna Citation on Flightsim.com today

Thanks Dave, Now I have a texture that I can add to the Basic Cessna Sovereign that Morpheus posted here..

Butch..

Drop the textures in this ZIP into the N914SP texture folder (from the Cirrus download) you've put into the 'Morpheus Conversion Mod' and let them overwrite. You will no longer have see-thru wing and horizontal stab LE's;)

The texture set in the Cirrus conversion were left as DXT3 which dragged my i5 rig to a stutter so I've made them DXT5 which is more compatible with FSX.

Yes mate. If you still have the texture set in the Cirrus Sovereign download and intend using the Morpheus Sovereign update.. drag the textures into the Morpheus update folder and drop the ones I posted into it and let them overwrite. The Morpheus update is probably the best one to use as it fixes many of the animation issues reported;) Any probs.. just shout:encouragement: Not a bad looking paint on N914SP.

Hi,

My effect for the Landing Light has the name fx_lightFFFEE2.fx you can a other effect rename to this. I have not found the lights on the Nosegear in the model. Sorry...
 
Well, I did get the landing lights working on the Sovereign:

It's a masterpiece, gents. But now after installing the new version, it seems the bird has not cockpit glass anymore - it looks like a windowsless frame to me now...Did I do anything wrong?
 
Yo Manfred:encouragement:

I think the thing to do with the Sovereign is choose which one you want to use and stick with it. The conversion Morpheus did comes with 2 paints (not N914SP.. this one comes with the Cirrus download) and has all the animations sorted so flipping a coin.. I'd go with that one. The N914SP paint that comes with the Cirrus/BigMike conversion will fit the Morpheus conversion but needs the alpha changing on the map with the LE's. Alternatively.. add the N914SP paint then drop the modded maps I posted. All should be well.. I hope:biggrin-new:

Manschy..

I've looked at the version I've kept (the Morpheus conversion) and the glass is fine on the Sovereign. The glass was/is ok on the Cirrus conversion too. Trouble comes when you mix the two:dizzy:

Manfred.. the landing lights look ok on the Sovereign at a distance on the Morpheus conversion but a bit odd close in. Because the light positions on the wings are not transparent and Morpheus added the lights to where the lamps would be.. the effect close in is that the light is shining through the wing. OK as long as you don't get too close though;)

Does anyone know why these lights are not visible from the VC?

Dave,

I had a top down look at the lights position, and it seems to be just fine with my personal adjustments.
I have played with the forward position for a while last night, and thought this was the soft spot (at least for me).
And I have to say that I never zoom that far in when flying an aircraft.

But of course you can always position them further forward if desired.

FSX and lights is never going to be an easy fix!!:very_drunk:

EDIT: here are some pics of the Sovereign and notice the extreme leaning at 10KTS. Now when I twist my J-stick to the right it, the nose wheel will steer right
(Sometimes_ but the wing tip likes to lean and touch the runway - at slow speeds.
Left turn, the nose wheel will respond most of the time but agan that heavy leaning of the wing tip; touches the runway.

Is everyone's nose gear steering animation working correctly on the Sovereign? Thanks!

For me, the nose gear turns left on left rudder but doesn't move at all on right rudder.
 
What I've noticed is that the Cirrus version has its own sound files and doesn't alias to another aircraft sounds.

I've seen a few report the nose gear issue on the Cirrus Sovereign though he says somewhere here it's fine on his system. I've not noticed this on the Morpheus Sovereign.

Butch.. do you have AccuFeel installed? I've seen AccuFeel exaggerate ground handling before.

While all my enthusiasm I haven't noticed this strange nose wheel behaviour so far, but it exists on my bird as well...Anyway, it's a minor blemish to me...
 
I am using the Morpheus program and added the cirrus (brown Jet) as an addon. No Accufeel installed.

BTW, on that taxi light that's on the nose gear I just wanted to share some ideas or thoughts on how to deal with a retraced nose gear and a taxi light hanging
like some strange UFO dangling just below the nose.
If that taxi light could of been either programed to shut off when the gear is up or else have a functional on/off toggle switch; that IMHO would be a plus :encouragement:

WHich one? Cirrus or morpheusfz?
BTW, It might be late in the game but for what it's worth, I started a separate thread for the Cirrus sovereign.

First, thanks for starting a separate thread, GE! The one giving me a problem is the Cirrus. The other one is fine.
