There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Milton's harpoon in FSX
- Thread starter WND
- Start date
Thanks guys for the comments. In spite of it being a port over, she performs very well in FSX, uses a common texture folder, DDS textures, and frame rates are great.
Not sure many here in the FSX forum will admit to flying a port over in spite of over 330 FSX Only downloads.

I fly quite a few port overs, if I enjoyed them in FS9 they are usually equally enjoyable in FSX. There I've said it in public!

Well, thank you Sir; it's a real team effort.
I know we are not up to FSX standards, but FSX native freeware is a bit scarce.

If anyone is interested I have created several camera views for Milton's Harpoon that cover both inside and outside positions. I have attached a zip file to this post that also includes a 'read me' explaining how to add them to your aircraft.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I fly plenty of port overs in FSX, including your Beech D18. I actually tried out the beta 1.0 version of the Harpoon in FSX and found it to perform quite well. Milton, thank you for another great add on for the FS9 and FSX communities!

I have to agree, I've also found NO big issue's with Milton's aircraft (the Spartan, the Aero Commanders, the D-18, the Tigercat's, the Tracker's, the Grizzly, the P-47's) ported over into FSX.. On occasion I might have to put something on a 'pop up' but for the most part they all work well, fly well and still look pretty decent !!!
P3D on the other hand, whole other story !!!

For those of you who downloaded the Harpoon Fire Tanker, I found an issue that was preventing the tanks door from opening and retardant to be dropped.
In the aircraft,cfg Smokesystem section, comment out the smoke.0 line as shown:
[smokesystem]
//smoke.0 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant //Remove or comment out for FSX
smoke.1 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant
smoke.2 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant
smoke.3 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant
smoke.4 = 1, 0, -4, fx_MS_fire_retardant
After that fix, you will be able to bring up the Control window (shift+4), and select the doors in order: Door 1, Door 2, Door 3, Door 4 to release 200 gals per door.
Close the 2 doors by clicking Door 1 and 2 when done.
My apologies for this oversight.
