AVRO Project 621 and 621 Trainer - FSX port over uploaded!

[Twice43]

FSX Native

Thanks to Nigel & team for the original, & Ulrich for the P3D V4 conversion. It is a magnificent vintage biplane that flies very well in P3D V4.3 & the sounds are great.
Looking forward to the other variants

Compass?

A small query on running in FSX. I can't unlock or turn the compass card. Is this a bug or a feature? There are click spots on the unlock lever and on the compass itself but they don't appear to do anything other than to give a tool tip with the heading on it.

I'm getting the same thing. It's odd, but at least the compass is usable as even without the tool tip the needle is indicating the course.

Many thanks to all,
All credits goes to Nigel Richard and his team.
A converted model is in the best case always only as good as the model
which you converted.
( except you convertet a model like it i.e. Milton Shupe does )
And an original native model is always better than a conversion.
So i'm looking forward to the original native
version by Nigel and team.

You beat me to it Ulrich! Lol. I was having trouble with the pilot's head. Good work. I've small thing though, you may want to look at the compass, it looks like it's exploded slightly. Did you add a z-bias to the material?

Hi Dave ,
Thanks a lot
I have fixed the pilots head with the transform object tool
in MCX, it can move rotate and scale an object.
And you are right, the compass material setting has had
an activated z-bias, which i had doesn't noticed.
Thanks for hint, i have fixed this and have updated the download files.

Thanks Twice43 - Look what happens when you wish upon a star...life REALLY is full of surprises

 

[aardvark62]

I think, this is the right forum for FSX native AVRO,
so i want to let you know, that i have converted Nigel's great AVRO 621 to FSX native format.
Cheers
Ulrich

YESSS! Thank you so much! No more CTD I was getting with the original portover. A little late to the party, but I too can now experience and enjoy Nigel's masterpiece.


Cheers, and Thanks again Nigel and Ulrich.

The FSX native really comes alive especially with the shadows, although there is a funny shadow on the rudder at times. This is in FSX SP2 & more marked on the civil version.

I really hate to ask this question, however does everones Nav, interior, and landing lights work on FSX Native?

Hello doublecool,
I found a missing landing light at one of the trainer versions and it is fixed now, download the
FSX_native_AVRO_621_Trainer_port_over.zip
version again this will solve the issue.
All models have a landing light under the wings and a white nav light at the rudder, no cockpitlight by default.

 

[Postbaer61]

Thanks for this marvelous shots, Carl
I like them all.

 

[doublecool]

Postbaer61, you have done a fine job on the conversion to FSX

However all models have Nav lights, Landing, cockpit instrumentation, and white rear nav on tail, was just poniting out my observation from flying the Port Over Models
Thank you for the conversion

Ulrich-

She is a little gem! Every once in a while a bit of freeware finds a permanent home on my SSDs. She has, and I am grateful to both Nigel and you. Glad you liked the screenies.

Best- C

Now that we have this exceptional aircraft, I am interested in a period RAF airfield/ scenery that would be appropriate to operate from. Any suggestions, freeware or payware?

Do you have any pics of this rudder shadow anomaly in FSX SP2, please ?
