A26 in FSX..?

Hi,
I went back through the forum and see where some texture fixes had been uploaded to the library to get the A26 patched for FSX. A correction for prop blurs and holes in the fuselage.

When the library crashed it looks like those files went as well, any chance someone can upload them again or tell where else they might be located..?

Is there any information on the A26 having an FSX future..?

Thanks,

tc
 
I have mailed my dear friend Milton on the matter, an answer won't be long if I know him, he such a nice guy lets hope by the morning we have an answer because I'm a massive fan of his excellent work, Plus his Invader would not go a miss on my system either!
 
The holes were caused by the Decal capability on the nose. I removed them for FSX and posted those links in the A26 forum. I repeat that post here:

A26B and A26C Model Updates for FSX

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These updates simply remove the decal from the nose sections to eliminate the transparency issues in FSX. These updates do not address props or other FSX SP2 issues. These four models are updates to the originally released models in the library.

BananaBob did a replacement prop texture for fS9 ... unsure if that works in FSX SP2:

If not, there are many here who have a replacement that might share it.

Regarding an FSX native version, Dan had the A26B/C nearly converted last June a year ago but I guess that got dropped for RW and payware priorities.

I hope this helps somewhat ... thanks for your interest.
 
Here's a zip for Guns & prop bmps that I use in my ported A26 and a shot of Bob Rivera's photoreal. The zip file is attached at the bottom of this post.

Roger,

That is a modeling technique issue; I never got it working correctly in FS9 either. :isadizzy:
 
Milton & Roger, many thanks, this is truly a pleasure to fly..!
Peter, thank you for jump starting this..

X-38 Grizzly

Milton,
Thank you for the XA-38...!
With the "spinprop.bmp" FSX texture the aircraft looks very nice in FSX Acceleration. Very impressive cockpit..!

Regards,

tc

is there a way to get the yoke to show in the VC, also is there a way to give it nose wheel steering?

Try the slash key " / "

Nose wheel steering, if you wish to sacrifice realism, see the aircraft.cfg, contact point 0 for a built in swap.

Btw, the guns bmp for the A26 works for the Grizzly too.

I think if you turn off the Luminos in the line (Image Name="N-9 GS BG.bmp" Luminous="No"/)
in A26 GS.xml in the panel, it will fix that problem. At least it did in mine.

Like JoJohnson I am having probs findking the B-26K... Can anyone provide links? The Addon library is giving me fits, I cant understand why in FS2004 addons there are only 39 items and in FSX even less... Has the file library crashed or am I being ignorant some where?

There are many issues at play in the old library. These database issues are being worked on by the admins and staff; it's just going to take some time.
