I am the one Rob is referring to, and from what I remember from the LM cockpit demonstrator Rob did an excellent job indeed. If Dutch speakers amongst you are interested: I wrote an article about my sim trip for a Dutch aviation magazine and I can send you a pdf if you PM me and give me your e-mail address.

Hi Hans,

Of course you are the guy I was referring to :)
Just didn't know if you objected that I made it public or not ...
You obviously don't ... :)

Cheers, Rob
 
Just an FYI, what I posted was just something I had been curious about for some time and wasn't able to find the answer to, so i was happy about that. I love the way the F-35B works in FSX and have used Robs previous releases for hours on end. The funny thing is, I thought I would spend more time flying the F-35C than any of the other models, but I find myself flying them all about equally. Thanks for all of your work making VSTOL tech for FS Rob. :)
 
Here is the basic color scheme and codings of the Dutch KLU F-35A.

Dutch KLU National roundel in 4 shades of grey !
Future squadron markings on fin will certainly be treated the same way !

Any top gun repainter interested in doing it ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi VaporZ,

I don't know if you are Dutch or have Dutch roots/Dutch relations, but since I'm Dutch and very interrested obviously :) ........

Yes, there is an upcoming election, and Yes, the F35 deal is much debated.
But your statement that "the population of Netherlands want to scrap the F35 in favor of a European solution" makes no sense.

Frankly, 90% of Dutch people have no real opinion whatsoever on the successor of the F16's.
The only thing we see, is that the developments cost (and final price) of the F35 are getting completely out-of-hand.

The only reason we are in this deal:
1. The lobby of our military.
2. The promisses of econonomic "counter orders" (sorry, don't know the right expression), which was very appealing to a lot of politicians.

The discussion is not, whether to buy the F35 or a European solution, but whether to make that decision now while the F35 is still in development and the F16's (and upgrades) are still doing their job.
Or put differently: do you spend hugh amounts of money in a "development money pit" or buy aircraft off-the-shelf ?
That's how I see the issue :)

Regards, Rob

We call them economic offsets. If you buy so many of "X" from us, we promise to build so much of "Y" in your country.
 
OK..... Just dowloaded both the repaint and update for the C model from mediafire and got hit with a virus or phising program!

It looked like it came from the police (Apart from the horrible Dutch.. Not even our police is stupid enough to write like that!), said I had illegal pornographic material on my computer and unless I paid a hundred euros fine through some obscure Spanish program I could go to jail etc etc!

Ridiculous! All my pornographic material is strictly legal! :icon_lol:


My computer was locked, all I could do was reboot in safe mode and run my AV software from there... Seems to be gone now but I'm going to do a few more scans just to be sure..​
 
Virus problem?

@FerryVO

I'm sorry to hear that. I always verify my files with my Antivirus (AVG) and I've recently checked all of them.
Are you sure it is in my files and it is not something from Mediafire?
Could you please check the file with AVAST and let me know?

Dino, it started before the downloads were even finished so I'm quite sure it came though Mediafire. Should have been more clear about that.

Just in case anyone else gets hit: have a look at the 'ukash' virus at google.

Thanks.
In the meantime I have created a post on my blog to notify other users. I have also downloaded AVAST and checked both my system and my files and they seem OK.
 
Hello Dino,

I've downloaded your last files and everything is OK, I use avast! Internet Security and no problem.
Bye, Skulleader.
 
I gotta admit I am very jaded with the A2a and simular high end graphics addons and initially ignored this one. The screenies reminded me of a old FS9 Firefox I think it was, that comical early CRT glass cockpit look.

Well with all the buzz and my recent discouragment with the Harriers still inability to hover with any decent believabilty, I took a $20 gamble and bought the F-35.

And after a few flights, I also gotta admit...... This is fun :pop4:

Now that I have added a good soundset, in my case from a Vulcan of all planes, the experience is complete. Like many have said its a believable stol/vtol thats easily controllable and precise. No robotic jerks or stiff movements. I am also getting all around smooth fps including the low hover and touchdown.

So for those sitting on the fence, if a modern jet with very unusual flight abilities slightly amuses you, you will enjoy this F-35.
 
Can't hover

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I switch to hover mode, my airspeed increases to about 434 knots and the aircraft handles like I'm in conventional flight. My fuel load and payload are almost to zero and the nozzle is at +90 degrees. Is there some sort of trick? Bought this yesterday and have been trying ever since.
