Dash 7 For FSX?
- Thread starter LTCSZ
- Start date
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately there will be no Dash 7 built true FSX by this team. However, if anyone wishes to redo it as a true FSX project, the Gmax source is available.
We do have an impending FSX compatible (port-over/pre-SP2/DX10) version near completion using all new gauges.

That model was like a simming milestone to me. One of those aircraft that really captures the spirit.. makes ya think you're really sitting in the cockpit, with some serious attention needed, on your part, as pilot. :ernae:
Thanks for the reply...The new model looks great...You guys never disappoint...Keep up the good work!

Awesome!! A port over is just as good in my book!

A try at a ported, native FSX model would be nice in order to learn some basics in FSX animations and texturing, but the first big problem for me is getting a GMax source model into 3DS Max without a hitch...
The skills learned will surely prove beneficial for my Do-328...

Wohoo!

That would be so great.
Great fan of the plane since i flew in one.

Wow, it looks good !
Personnaly I don't really care if it a port-over or a native model, as long as the port-over has not so much impact on the FPS. Since your Howard 500, your Spartan and your D18s had almost no impact at all, I'm pretty confident about your Dash
I've been flying the dash-7 in fsx for some time now and frankly, it's awesome. frame hits are not a problem at all.. with these updates i'm certain it will remain a non problem and it'll continue to be a very wonderful aircraft to fly..
Prop Disks in FSX?
Have you been able to change the prop circles to look better in FSX? I get really strange ones...Thanks

Steve,
Try changing the alpha channel color to 10,10,10 (near black) to make it mostly transparent. Up/down to suit your tastes. I do not have FSX so I cannot validate this.
I'm afraid you are talking way above my pay grade! Don't have the slightest idea how to do what you are suggesting! (Probably a Senior Moment thing!) I think I'll wait for the ported version of my favorite plane...Thanks again,
Steve
Someone here has a working Dash 7 spinprop.bmp and hopefully they will share it with you.

Hello,
I can offer you these for FSX SP2
Unfortunately I can't stop them being obscured by the clouds,that's in the model,I think.

I can also offer a panel.cfg for the VC version which doesn't produce the gauge error messages but not until I have permission.

Hi there...Long time I haven't visited here. had a terrible experience with my FSX SP2 somedays ago, ported over a plane from another forum and unfortunately I followed install intructions and didn't follow my gut. I said put simobjects folder, coming in the download after unzipped, into main FSX folder. Well...what happened... All my simobjects dissapeared. I then found the folder at the bottom of the FSX tree, Root folder And stupidly tried to move it back to its' original position, when dissaster!:faint:I dropped it . tried to restart the sim, but then of course it couldn't find any default planes to start with in any default flight. Then checked my stock of planes and all default planes were missing the .air file.
Today I did a repair installation and have managed to start it up again, but now most of my addons are missing the .air file.
The point here being I've been trying to reinstall Miltons' Dash 7 for FSX,( Dash 7 vcmdla) have managed so far. But still have the gauges issue when it loads... And I can't find a single of the gauges in the panel .cfg to (//) in front of them so they don't show at the beggining of loading. can anyone assist? I know this might be an old topic, Indulge me please.

...into another folder or what?
Ever tried to do a search for SimObjects via CTRL+F and recover your old folder?
