CaptainSim B-52 Exterior model released

[papab]

I'm still getting CTD with mine:-(

Seems the CS Trouble Ticket system is down and they won't respond to forum requests for help either.

Don't really know what else to do. I've been very polite, but they've still deleted one of my posts.

Did you try the unistall /reinstall?

I would redownload the file

cockpit

as is usual with captsim, they even modeled the cockpit very well.

Might not be a full working vc:

But it does the trick for me..had to unisntall and reinstall the bird in order to get it going.

How did you do that ??!?

inside cockpit

when in wing view simply hit control shift enter or control shift backspace to shift side to side or shift enter to go up and shift backspace to go down and the just use your pan switch to move around, also control backspace and control enter to move fwd and backwards. i was suprised with what i saw, even though nothing is functional it looks alot better than the 747 view.

Thanks, will it work with Track-IR? (I'd try it myself but I haven't bought the BUFF yet and won't be back in front of my gaming PC till later this week to try it with another aircraft.)

trackir

Thanks Rick, I did try that - no luck.

Was it you in the CS fourum?

Yes and you deleted the original download from your computer before you loaded it again from CS?

Did you try deleting all your temp files and cache?

Might it not be easier to just set up a new camera position that lines up with the VC ?, then just scroll through the views until you get to it, much easier than having to shunt the wing view back and forth, just a thought.

Let me get viewpoint right and i´ll put it here, is a simple model cfg tweak, it goes like this:

[models]
normal=CS_B52
interior=CS_B52


you will lose all gauges and everything, and will have to regard to ctrl+z for flight input, but i simply cant stand flying it from a B747 cockpit.

Yes. I've tried that whole 'caboodle' several times. I just don't don't understand what's going on. Guess i've got something on my system it doesn't like. I have got a shed load of addons.

I might try a different nVidia driver i think.....

*smacks forehead* Doh!!! I would have never thought to use the exterior model for the interior too!

I agree this will be better than flying from the 747 cockpit, thanks for the info!

I removed all nVidia drivers and reg entries etc and installed version 196.21

Now what happens is I still get the error message, but now the FSX flight loads up ok, but without a visual model! I just get the lights but no aircraft.

If anyone can think of anything i'd be mucho grateful. It's driving me potty

Thanks

dougal95 ... Did you switch off directx10 preview? I know it´s obvious sometimes but what you discribed is the same of having directx10 preview on.

I NEVER run with DX10 - don't use it at all.

May I ask you owners about the paints that come with - are they all grey and have only different markings ?

Included is only 1 texture set, depicting serial 60-0045 "Cherokee Strip II" from 83rd BS/917th Wg AFRC, Barksdale AFB.

This "all grey" paint comes in 2 versions: 2048x2048 Hi Rez and standard 1024x1024 size. De Hi Rez texture set is amazing, to give you some idea I cropped out some details (scale 1:1). According to the product page a paintkit should come out later.

I don't actually have this. However I do occasionally fly the Team KBT B-52, which has a basic B-52 style panel. You guy's might want to check it out and see how you get on.

Anyone know how to merge these into the Captainsim variant? I could live with a merged mess until CS figures out the road ahead.

As long as the new 2D panel has FSX compatible gauges, adding it should be no rocket science:

1. Rename the old CS_B52\panel folder to e.g. panel.old
2. Copy the Team KBT panel folder into the CS_B52 folder
3. Fly the beast

Cheers, Henk.
