There is one for FS2004, will it work in FSX? Is there more aerobatic aircrafts from 20s to 50s ?

I have tried to search them but didn't find anything.


Thanks.
 
Yes, Oliver Fischer's Jungmann works well in FsX (Dx9 only of course). Some alpha work on the prop was required but otherwise it's a great port-over with good framerates.

Yes, it's definitely one of the greatest-looking port-overs ever ! This plane is just magnificient, so is its virtual cockpit ! A must-have in FSX, in my opinion.

Roger, exactly what did you do to the prop alpha?

Usually in port overs, darkening the prop alpha helps. Great looking bird I must say:applause:

Actually,after installing and flying around KPDX for a while, I saw nothing wrong with the prop. Beautiful airplane and really a lot of fun to fly. . .thanks for the HU.

Yep as bushpilot said, I darkened the prop alpha right down. If you want a copy of mine, pm me with an e-mail address and I'll send you the prop texture. Another thing the mdl will accept reflective alphas (rather than transparent as often happens when trying to "shine" a port-over texture) so I enhanced the metal cowling with some dark alphas.

Ok Roger, think I may give that a try. Man this is quite a little jewel, beautifully done and great fun to fly. . .nice sounds as well. Thanks!
 
Thumbnails...

The only portover, that looks better with acceleration, with SP1 I had no
windshilds.
But it`s the only plane I´m unable to create thumbnails with autothumbnail v2. Bücker a version is ok, but when I try the b versions,
autothumbnail stopps FSX, or even crashes, says it can`t find the path!
I can´t find the problem... did anyone came across this?
Any hints apreciated!

cheers, Thilo

I have the same problem. For this aircraft I took screenshots and resized them to use as thumbnails.
 
I don't understand anything about those alpha channels. Could somebody do them ready to download (and send maybe email) or do tutorial how to dark them. So we can do it by ourselves in future.

I can tell you for starters that if you don't already have this you'll need it to do any manipulation of the textures and that's DXTbmp and can be downloaded here:
http://www.btinternet.com/~mnwright/
On that page you'll see two rows of icons, on the lower row about halfway over you'll see one labeled DXTbmp, click on that and it'll take you to a page where you can download it.
Get that installed (pretty simple really) and in the meantime, if someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll put together a quick "how to" to post here.
 
I just checked and IMO prop looks okay, so it's not even necessary to tweak it with this particular model. Of course it's a matter of tastes. Usually it's needed when portover's prop is like opaque disc.
 
I do it because I usually fly with a layer of cumulous and cirrus at high level. The prop-behind-the-clouds issue is what causes me to always darken the alpha.
 
You got point there, prop behind clouds can look ugly:kilroy:.


Anyways it's a gorgeous plane, if I didn't know any better, I would have guessed it being a native FSX bird, the model looks so good.:ernae:
 
Banana Bob did an FS9 prop for this aircraft, might look better in FSX than the default Bucker version?

Mike :sheep:
