F-106 Delta Dart v2

Great stuff, also the other models and the sceneries Robert offers on his website. Thanks for the head-up!

Cheers,
Mark
 
Speaking of "easier to repaint". Are there paints for the 106?

I downloaded it. Interesting to note that there are no install instructions with it.
Click to expand...

"Convair F 106A_v2" -> "SimObjects\Airplanes"
"AIM-4" -> "SimObjects\Misc"
.fx files -> "Effects"

Optional:
Flight files -> C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files
Traffic file -> Scenery\World\Scenery


As easy as making toast.

Not necessarily; I burnt mine the other day, forgetting my kids had played with the "browning" knob ... little brats! :a1089:

Great instructions B, and yes, it takes no time at all.

One thing I noticed - I get a stray, curved funky poly when sitting in the VC, halfway up the panel, clear across from L to R. Anyone else get that? I played with eyepoint (aft/fwd), jacking my viewing position (up/down) and it's always there. Anyone else get this?

ps: Repaints - 5 that I know of - DaveQ did 2, Fenti did 3. All awesome. Search "F-106" in the library, sort by date (descending) - they're the 5 most recent. The others are the AS/V model repaints. Easy as putting Nutella on said toast ... :wavey:

Oh Eric, the Alpha model does have an advantage after all: The two-seater "B".

Yup. Maybe intentional? (Extra glareshield?)

Yeah. I get it. I think its a bug? I will say my only (slight) complaint is a personal taste one, and that is I think the bump mapping is a little bit over done. It shows up in the tail pretty pronounced. my preference only, but I would back off that just a smidge. :)

Yep....I assume it's a glareshield 'gone wrong' ...;)
[another good argument for the 2D .... I removed it from the screencap] ....;)

Actually, I think its a bit of the aircraft mdl file crossing over into the vc mdl file. I noted on the city of Jacksonville 1976 scheme the part was dark blue like the outside of the aircraft. Rob would need to fix it on his end.

One thing I did discover I hadnt noticed before is that Robs bird has a blown bubble clear canopy. The Virtavia model has the overhead split canopy. Cool to have both types. One last nit picker that bugs me... the USAF font isnt correct. Anybody who is repainting can find the correct one by googling "Amarillo USAF" font. Its free and its great. dafont.com has it. I tread very, very gently on freeware quality stuff and am hesitant to make comment. Only to suggest and improve where possible.

You're right of course. Also I found out from a team refurbishing an F-101B in Coventry UK, that it should be insignia blue, not black, when over ADC Grey. Have a look at some of the repaints.
