Milviz P-38 Red Bull civilian racer for free!

[snow_white]

After my skepticism about Milviz (my 350 issue) I must add, this did come as a surprise and might also sway me back to rethink my stance about Milviz.

Thank you milviz, much appreciated.

Thank You Milviz.... That one needs some Army Air Forces Repaints!

 

[Bjoern]

Yes.

The Garmins are 3D mesh Custom Milviz 430 530 units , not compatible with replacement by F1 or other.

Feared as much. Thanks, guys.


Immersion whimpers and cowers in the corner as I am throwing a privately owned airplane around the sky of Ronnie Raygun's USA with more advanced technology in the cockpit than any (back then) bird in the armed forces' arsenal could muster.

Not only internally, but externally there are details on this aircraft that aren't true to any production Lightning during WWII either (that goes for the real aircraft just as it goes for the superb FS model). This is a one-off, just as the real aircraft is, restored to be a solid, regular flyer, as well as a piece of art when on display.

And just as a reminder, the aircraft isn't based in the US, it is based in Austria (it was restored in the US, for Red Bull), and is flown at airshows all over Europe, not the US.

As for available repaints, Gordon Madison did some very nice ones (note, with this model, you can't repaint the polished prop spinners, so any repaint for it will have to make do):

BTW, thank you very much Milviz for the very generous offering!!

Thanks

Thank you for the free gift of the P38.

Now I have read the operating instructions and still cannot find where the lower left corner of the instrument panel is so that I can hide the yoke.

Milviz has released their P-38 Red Bull for free download: http://milviz.com/flight/products/P38RB/index.php

WARNING TO P3D USERS: this freeware version does not work in P3D. I downloaded and selected P3Dv3 version from the installer, but on launch, a dialog box comes up and indicates this version is ONLY for FSX and it then forces P3D shut down.

A bit disappointing because I really like Milviz products and had been thinking of buying this one, but was holding off til after vacation expenses.

Oh well!

 

[flaviossa]

Strange, i just did a fly with it here in my P3Dv3.3.5. No problems at all (Aside a little FPS hit).
The installer even identified correctly my p3dv3 install folder.

Confirmed. No any problem also with installation for P3Dv3.

Aside a little FPS hit

Right, the same. Strange.

Did You check in the checkbox the correct version of P3D? I dont think so.....

 

[henrystreet]

Another voice for successful P3D v3.3.5 install.

If there's one repaint that needs to be done for this model it is a reversion to ole #13, White Lightnin'. Any takers?

It's been done for the L variant. FSD anyway .. not sure if the palette works on the MilViz version.

 

[Gregory Paul]

Worked fine in P3Dv2 for me!!

 

[ejoiner]

Yes I did. Hmm. Will check again. I installed it twice. Same problem each time.

 

[kdfw]

Are the Garmins modeled in 3D and permanent elements in the VC?

no, you can use the free panel to show 2d gauges like the rxp gns 530 and asn freeware wx radar like this:

with wx radar, the nose needs to be pained non-metalic to make it look realistic.

 

[Pips]

Very generous. Thanks much.

Paint kit link goes to a 404 page though.

That's a great link fsafranek.

Really brings home the extra work load placed on the trailing pilot (ie Corsair). While the Lightning jock has time to look around, the Corsair pilot is flying with his eyes glued onto the P-38.

Flying in Squadron formation (especially the pre 1940 British fashion) must have been a nightmare.

the FSD is the milviz version, mv took back the model and re released it with more enhancements

you would be surprised on how many developers have bought MV models and released them including some from Alphasim, vertigo and iris to name a few

Yoke removal

Perhaps my previous question was overlooked ^. I read the accompanying instructions concerning yoke removal. Problem is, I didn't find that "Sweet spot" in the left corner of the instrument
panel near the fuel gauge that was mentioned. I'm looking for clues to better find that area I need to click on the remove the yoke. No pictures were in the instructions to go on just verbiage.

Thanks.
