Alphasim F-101

[T Square]

I loaded my old Alphasim F-101 for FS2004 into FSX get all kinds of messages for unsupported guages. Does anyone know if there is an update for the panel to fix ? I worked on F-101 for about 5 years, this was one of the first payware aircaft I ever bought, likes it alot. I hope the Peeps at Virtavia update it to FSX.

OK - here's how you get your Voodoo magic to happen in FSX:

1) panel update - from Avsim:

<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=2 cellPadding=2 width="100%" bgColor=#aaccee align=center><TBODY><TR><TD colSpan=2 align=left>[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Category: Flight Simulator X - Aircraft Repaints, Textures and Modifications[/FONT] </TD></TR><TR><TD width=* align=left>[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]F-101 Voodoo Update [/FONT]</TD><TD noWrap align=right><!-- --> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]File Description:
This package updates the FS2004 AlphaSim F-101 Voodoo package for use with Flight Simulator X. The main issue with the Voodoos in FSX was most of the gauges could not be displayed because they are the FS98 type which are no longer supported. The 2D and VC panel layouts have been completely rebuilt to address this issue. The panel layouts includes new 2D windows to provide an engine control unit (ECU) and electrical switches which were not included with original package. The update also includes the required thumbnails for the original paint schemes and new FSX style camera views including a rear pilot's view for the CF-101B. The new camera views have been assigned new GUIDs so they won't interfere with other aircraft in your collection.

[SIZE=-1] FSX USAF McDonnell F-101C Voodoo Single Seat Set 1. This is the first of two texture sets for the Alphasim F-101 single-seat fighter. All have 2048 x 2048 main texture files and therefore only suitable for FSX. This first set contains three different US Air Force paint schemes applied to aircraft of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing, based at the twin bases of Woodbridge and Bentwaters, UK between 1960 and 1965. There are two variations post-1962 when squadron-specific schemes were abandoned and a single scheme adopted for all aircraft. The other two are the original 78th Tactical Fighter Squadron scheme from 1960 and the second the later 1961 scheme for the same unit. Many thanks to Ed Wells for the use of some of his artwork.

3) Go nuts - this plane is still a great model, it's FS9 origins notwithstanding.
