"Cricket" Update!

SOH-CM-2025
"Dev-One" has completed his work on the Cri-Cri and I have the final aircraft.cfg and mdl files, plus one extra texture for the pilot. I'm checking those right now and as soon as I'm complete and we're sure everything is correct then I'll post the complete airplane. Keith has really done a nice job of updating this airplane. Well Done Keith!!:salute::applause:
 
Ok, made a few cosmetic changes to the panel art to accommodate the updated VC animations (all levers are now clickable/movable via the mouse by either scroll wheel or click and drag). I have a bit of work to do on one other panel that I'm including as an option (there will be three total) and then I'll zip everything up and get it posted.:salute:
 
Changes completed, should be uploaded here in the next hour or so. I have sent several e-mails to the original designer and have had no luck in contacting him. I will assume that either he doesn't care to be contacted, or has changed e-mail addy's. In either case I have made an effort to inform him of the changes made to his model and to get his ok. . . With that, I intend to upload it here and on flightsim.com, as part of the zipfile I will include his original readme's and add one updated readme to highlight the changes made with due credit to the originator. I should think that would suffice, especially since he made the original GMax work available to the public.

A note about the panels included. I don't use 2D panels any more, but I know some folks do. I have only worked on the VC, consequently the 2D panel remains the original 2D and does not reflect the artwork or changes made to the VC. If there is enough of a need to redo the 2D panels to match, then I'll consider doing new art for those. I chose not to for the reason stated above and because I wanted to get this released as soon as Keith was able to finish his work. I think you'll enjoy the changes and hopefully we'll find some new admirers of this unusual but fun little "twin".:salute:

Even before this one was redone, straight out of the FS9 download it would show up. Not sure why yours would not. The changes we made are for that very reason, so it can be used in FSX.
 
I have uploaded the zipfile to Box.net for download while I take the time to get it uploaded and posted here on the SOH downloads page. I am unsure about the state of the download however because after zipping everything and saving to my desktop, the zipfile didn't change to the "zip" icon. . .instead it was just a blank page. . .I had to associated it to "Izarc" which is the zip program I use. That's never happened before. I have downloaded it from Box.net and it works fine, but with so many different zip programs, I need to be sure this will work. So if you use any program other than Izarc, please download the file and see if it opens correctly. If not, I'm going to have to redo the process. Thanks!

Works with 7 Zip

Ok, thanks guys. Unfortunately it appears that there's something missing that SOH Upload looks for as it won't accept the file. I am getting rid of "Izarc" (no idea why it suddenly quite functioning).. .and I'm going with WinZip. I'll still get this uploaded to SOH this evening. It does appear that the link still works for most folks though. . .weird.:isadizzy:
 
Ok, that was a pain, lol. . . .finally got WinZip to work and the file has been uploaded. If the link above continues to work for most folks, great. If you find that the file you download won't unzip with your program. . .hold tight, it'll show up in the SOH downloads section soon!!
 
I d'led from your Box.com & unzipped it with my 'normal' WinRAR (from rarlabs) with no problems.
Nice one Falcon, like the repaint & new cockpit.
