That should not be happening since the pod is linked inextricably to FS9 droptanks. Once dropped thats it, they're dropped. The pod animation is just that an animation, but the code behind that triggers FS droptanks!

Here are four fictitious paints of the B-58 I did some while ago. The RAF ones have been published before but these are substantially updated; the RAAF ones I did for myself but there was a request to publish. When I looked them over they were rubbish so I've completely overhauled them.
Hope you enjoy them.

Just been experimenting with Dave's textures which fit really well on the new FSX native model.

I take it the red cones are intake covers..? Cool!
I've done a bit of work on her since then but need to do some more on the engine pods/pylons.

I don't have the fs9 version, because I would rather spend money on getting FSX models. But, I've been waiting for your FSX version, and it's kind of been a tough wait. I'm glad the fs9 paints are going to work on it. Will we be able to see the engine pods and wing from the VC? Please say yes, lol. Captain sim just put out an update for their B-52, which includes the wing and engine pods being viewable from the VC. It really makes a big difference for TrackIR users.

Still available for FS9 (mod able for FSX), although an updated FSX native version is being built as per above my screenshot showing DaveQs textures on it.
You can either buy the FS9 version or wait until the native version comes out. FS9 version is on sale at Simmarket and PC Aviator.
Bone, if you want wings and engine pods from the VC then you shall get these! Although I'm not sure why you'd want to look backwards while flying this! The nose is already visible, so what the heck!!

Yes the intakes now have covers on when the engines are off! I'm considering the giant gantry the crew used for access to the cockpit too.
Thanks, I do appreciate it. A pilot has to look around while flying, and it's a continuous sweep around the entire field of view. You're taught to do that from the first flight.
This is going to be excellent! :salute:

Hi Bone,
I've added the wings and the engine intakes into the VC model. Due to the clamshell escape pod the Hustler used instead of ejector seats, the engines and wings can only be seen if you are virtually out of the cockpit!! But I'll leave them in there since they aren't poly heavy.

This is going to be a blast!!!
Would it be possible to map the inside of the cockpit clamshells to a texture somewhere? As far as I can tell they were white/cream. No big deal though.

Hi Dave,
Do you mean the inside of the hatches or the inside of the ejecting capsules?
Great photo, i always find it quite odd how far the crew have to climb before they can get into the cockpit! And the Hustler always looks like its going fast even on the ground at zero speed!
David.
