Alphasim Crusader goes native FSX

Thanks everybody for the "how-to" info on importing my repaints from FS9, and all the great screen shots. I have enough to keep me busy for a few days. :encouragement:

I wonder if Jafo's mods (here in the library) will work with this model?

I am afraid that will not work straight out of the box, afaik Jafo did the early model round scope VC, I converted the VC for the E/J model square scope. I would go for the Don Bodenstedt pit.
 
Expat,

Please ID the site where you got the VF-191 texture. I can not find it.

I can't really do proper repaints. This one is home grown and happy to post it for those who like it.

Is it possible to give the same treatment to the Alphasim Viggen so it can be used in fsx?

Looks great!
 
You will need to i) determine which model the textures you want are mapped to and ii) rename each of them to the F-8J model in the air.cfg.
 
Texture conversion from F-8E to F-8J

Bob407 (or anyone else with an answer),

I am converting my original F-8E textures to use the new F-8J model. Per instructions in this thread I have relabeled all my F-8E textures to read "F-8J_...". My VMF-212 now looks just like Bob407's screen-shots - EXCEPT one section of the spline that is still black (untextured). This section of the spline is just aft of the rear wing raise section and just forward of the panel line that starts/stops the "Marines" on the fuselage. I think I have some texture in the (common) "texture" folder that still needs relabeling - but have been unable to identify it. Any help finding it would be most appreciated!

Greetings Bill. Put this file in your VMF-212 folder. Hope it works out for you. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqvq94t3ulpds5m/F8-J_RedWhiteChecks.bmp?dl=0
 
F-8J Tex Calls

For what it's worth, I have the texture calls from the Fs9.mdl for the F-8J.
They were needed for a CFS2 conversion of this bird.

If needed a list of the French F-8E(FN) can be made also.

OK, Gunslinger Fans, here is a zip that has Don B.'s great panel mods WARNING - LARGE FILE. I have re-jigged the gauges to fit the VC.

Also, my air.cfg - NB: this is for ONLY taking the [lights] and [smoke] entries. These work together to get the AB effect to show properly. Deviate from that and you are at your own risk . .

This new model is VERY NICE - thanks Henk!!!

Hi all. I put in the expat.zip with the new panel and effects. very very nice!

One problem. I get the lovely Boom from the AB kicking in, but it seems the afterburner is ALWAYS lit. I have to close the throttle completely to turn off the reheat. Whats going on with that?

I dont have that problem with any other jet I fly. So dont "think" its calibration on my saitek X-55 HOTAS set up.

From browsing the xml code logic in "Reheat_Auto_LOGO.xml" the AB effect(s) should kick in/out at 90% throttle. Just went for a flight and it works for me and the flame goes away as I come below 90%. The internal glow changes from a yellow to an orange down to about 70%-80% then goes black. Smoke kicks in along the way. Seems to work fine.

Be aware if you want to use other panel mods, you will loose the effects controller code that I included in the pack. The old Reheat_Auto_LOGO.xml code is not needed in FSX, instead make sure you use these panel.cfg lines from my pack - [Vcockpit01]:

gauge42=F-8_xml!Engine_FX, 10,10,20,20
gauge43=F-8_xml!Systems_init, 10,10,20,20
//gauge44=Shockwave_lights!SW Lights_gear, 1,1,1,1
;-------Gauge Carrier Operations v41 Nav1----------------------------
gauge50=RFN_CarrierGauge!TACAN_Navigation, 0,0,100,112,Nav1
gauge51=RFN_CarrierGauge!CustomCatapult, 0,0,20,20
gauge52=RFN_CarrierGauge!Approach_Ctrl, 0,0,20,20,12.8
gauge53=DSD_Sound_Gauge!Sound, 0,0,10,10

BTW: I will also do 1 or 2 short nose early models with the round radar scope VC. As it turns out it is not too much extra work, I can use most of the stuff I already did for the late models.
 
Just so that I understand and keep up with it all, this attached F8 Expat.zip goes with Don's F8 or the native one or what?
Will Don B's liveries work with the new naive version? Don's textures were bmp's and the new one are dds files.

That zip just has Don's panel in it. It is also here in the Library and he put it together for use in the FS9 ported-over F-8. I tried it with Henk's new native FSX model and it 80% worked but I then needed to re-assign some of the gauge locations. The panel.cfg in the zip has these new assignments. As mentioned, I also added my air.cfg for people wishing to use the AB settings in the lights section.
