Did anyone else notice...

Dang, that preview video is awesome! :eek:

And wow, he's even published the source files! :eek:


FSX conversion sense tingling...
 
Yea, been flying it since it was released and this is just the Beta Version, so it'll get even better. A couple of problems within FSX, mainly the nosewheel tends to kick over to the left in tight turns and then visually stays stuck there. . .it still steers correctly but if you're looking at it from the external view it looks weird. Vic says it's an XML coding problem that doesn't work in FSX. There are some canopy reflections that seem to bother some folks but I didn't have a problem with it. Also, in FS9 he has added an "exhaust effect" that looks like heat from the exhaust. . .in FSX it looks more like a vapor cloud that doesn't go away and unfortunately the effect is coded in the model so there's no way to remove it.:salute:
 
Well, all the bugs could be fixed fairly easily during a FSX conversion process, looking at the XML and Gmax file.

But don't give me any ideas, I've got too little time work on my projects already, lol. :d

I edited the 4 texture files titled "sign0000.bmp" through "sign0001.bmp" by clearing the alpha then re-coloring it solid black. The exhast effect is now invisible.

That's great, Vic told me it was modeled into the aircraft and there wasn't any way to remove it. Soooooooooo, now I'm off to DXTbmp to correct that little oversight, lol.

Thanks for the HU Dave!:salute:

Yep, I noticed there were more when I opened the folder. Great find. Even being just a beta, Vic did a really nice job on this with more to come by the final release.:salute:
