A-20 Havoc FSX Native

... is now a WIP beginning with the "C" model. The "G", P70-A1 and A2 Night fighters will follow.

The FS9 thread has been super active this past month with new liveries being developed.

Wellis has completed the interior textures and is wrapping up the panel now. With that done, we can prepare an FS9 beta for the four models, and I will try to get the FSX native "C" model beta'ed as well, but I still have a few tweaks and custom animations to finish.

That will require a few weeks yet but we are making progress.

Here are a few FSX native shots.

i know ill most likey get blasted for this,but any chance this will get updated to P3Dv4 too?.....i already m,iss the S2ts in v4...
 
Milton, I have a very good friend that flew the Havoc in New Guinea and the Philippines. Bob loved the A-20 surviving the war. He has many stories about his flying and his Havoc. Thanks for doing the great aircraft. There was actually an A-20 Havoc at Oshkosh this year. Wish I had been there to see it fly.

Not sure why you should get blasted Dave; this is about FS enjoyment.

Regarding things that do not work, all I need to know is exactly what does not work. Then I can assess if it is fixable or not.
The S2T you are running is an FS9 portover. It will get converted to FSX native. Then we can see what works and what doesn't, then figure out why.

I am not using the P3D SDK; I am using the FSXA SDK. If something doesn't work in 64bit from FSX native, then one must determine if the offending things are compatible or can be changed.

If P3DV4 runs native FSX stuff okay (incompatible custom functions not withstanding), then this should work in P3DV4.

fsx planes work perfectly in p3d v4 :wavey:

As long as the model is FSX native, for the most part if the aircraft has only XML gauges, your good to go in P3D V4. Its only when there is a .dll or .gau as part of it do you get problems between 32 bit code (FSXA and P3D V3) and 64 bit code (P3D v4).
 
Wow! And WOW again! :dizzy: I luv the A-20, ever since I read 633 Squadron when I was knee high to a grass hopper. :)
 
Outstanding! Can't wait for this one. So far all of your recent FSX native conversions work great in P3Dv4.

And let let me know if you need beta testers!!!!:jump::jump:
 
Ah, that 's great to know about P3DV4.

Thanks for the comments; I really look forward to getting this one out the door. It's been a long time coming.

With the XP-54 release, the Bearcat new version on hold, the XA-38 in line behind the Bearcat, I can focus again on completing the A-20 C FSX native and getting her ready for beta.
Will likely take about two weeks.

After that, the "G" model ....

And if you have not checked all all the repaints happening over in the FS9 thread, you may be well surprised.
 
Wellis is putting the final tweaks on the VC in FS9 and the FSX native version of the "C" model.

Looking great Wellis! If only we could get that Marauder to looking like this one ...

Wellis and I have just discussed the Marauder interior needs. He has been under a tremendous workload since December with four A-20 models, each with their exterior differences and own paint kit. Fortunately, the interiors are the same except for the "G" model turret and interior nose area that is hidden.

He asked to take on the Marauder interior and I am most appreciative of that offer. I would not have dared ask him to do that with the workload he is now just completing. He has a number of liveries for the A-20 to be finalized and a few minor tweaks to the paint kits for effects.

So, he will be starting on the Marauder interior very soon. :)

Thank you Wellis. :applause: There are some awesome Marauder exterior paints just waiting for your interior complement.
