B-58 Hustler

Here's my setting. If you don't own ALPHA F-104 or Captain Sim 707, then you will need to use a different AB and smoke effects.

Just replace light 8 thru 11...

[lights]

light.8 = 9, -15, -22.1, -2.2, fx_ALPHA_F104_AB
light.9 = 9, 7, -12.5, -3.2, fx_ALPHA_F104_AB
light.10 = 9, -15, 22.1, -2.2, fx_ALPHA_F104_AB
light.11 = 9, 7, 12.5, -3.2, fx_ALPHA_F104_AB

[smokesystem]

smoke.0 = -19, -22, -2.2, cs707_smoke
smoke.1 = 1, -12.5, -3.2, cs707_smoke
smoke.2 = -19, 22, -2.2, cs707_smoke
smoke.3 = 1, 12.5, -3.2, cs707_smoke

Ah Perfect! Turns out I had these effects! Yahoo!
 
Check out this B-58 model Marek Rys created at http://www.b-58.com/ Scroll down to the one dated Aug 15, 2008... click on the image of a B-58.

The rendering of this aircraft are amazing, plus all three cockpits are rendered. Property of Milviz.com... interesting!

I added the config changes lights 8 thru 11.Now I don't have any AB effects.maybe I did read it wrong.I don't have the F-104 or the 707?.Are the changes only for those that have the F- 104 and the 707 etc?.

Since I don't have the F-104 or the 707.Could anyone PM me the effects of both planes.If infact it is effects that go into the effects folder of FSX.I hope I don't have to buy the planes in question.Is the Alpha F-104 for AB effects a freeware plane,or payware?.

yes, and yes.

Both payware. I got the F-104 many years ago and the 707 recently.
 
B-58

Oh well.

I guess I'll have to put the backed up acft confg I had.I hope I can find some suitable AB effects,so the AB's will work properly in FSX.I don't think I'll find any,for now.

It's a B-58 Love Fest!

Thats an awesome screenshot!

Do you find the inboard afterburner effects do not display correctly when using the F104 effects? the outboard effects display fine, but depending what angle I view the rear of the plane the inner AB effects in the jet pipe disappear, the trail of flame stays put though......?

Keep the screenshots coming!

No, the AB effects look just fine. Now looking for the perfect sound set.
 
Pic Fix?

dvj,
Went an edited out the white contrail from left wing. Makes it look more 'real'? This is one fantastic shot! I do the same: add clouds and fly around taking screenies. Eats up the available 'flying' time (and disc space).

Sound? How's Eric Cantu's sound for the F-104 Starfighter. Download 'v_pnlsnd.zip' from FSCom. Discard the pnl and use the sound-it's my favorite for all mil types.

Great shots of a truly awesome beast!!. But can I ask, does anyone else get a no-show with the electrical and warning panels on the cockpit right side? Is there a fix for this?



As an aside the Hustler was offered to the RAAF at one stage!

Will wait (im)patiently for an oppportunity to put these skins on David's FSX-native bird!

DaveQ

Hi DaveQ, can you make this Aus repaint available? I'd like to fly it!

I'm updating the two RAF skins I did for FS9 some years ago now and will put the lot out when I can. Here's the 1970's grey/green one.

Strangely enough, the afterburner effects of the inner engines vanish if I use them on the FSX B-58 exterior model......

Have no idea why? It does seem that if I move the effects further below the wing they display okay....anyone got any ideas?!

That's interesting... I've converted one aircraft to DDS DXT5 and have no issues with the AB.

I made this short video of the flight, some stuttering, I forgot to set it for video recordings. I had the scenery set to extreme. For videos I use dense settings. Scenery is Orbx NA BLUE.
Well anyways, may do another to test a different jet engine sound.

 
B-47

Awsome shot TuFun

Is the AlphSim FS9 version still around,and is it still available as a freeware or payware?.Either way,where can I get it.

The B-47 I'll never forget.It was one of the first planes I got trained on,when I entered the USAF in 1966,at McClellan AFB,Calif.(55th Weather Recon SQ)

Since I live in Tucson,Az.(The land of the Relics).I retired from Civil Service here at Davis-Monthan AFB(AMARC).Sorry to say all the WWII relics are gone.
