DoughBree L-39C (FSX)

Bjoern

Bjoern

worst developer ever
This thing never got beyond a beta model for FS9, but the Gmax source files were made available by its creator Vit Storch. The only licensing restriction is that the resulting model has to remain freeware (and crediting DBD for the original work), which is more than a fair deal to me.

I haven't started converting the VC yet, but the exterior is just about done (save for one or two material tweaks maybe).

One enhancement made by me is that you can now choose between a civilian and military backseater or go solo. The texture mapping has been left untouched, so save for using a FSX-compliant glass texture, you can use any exisiting repaints for this model.

Provided you're knowing what you're doing, you can, for now, merge the VC from Hadi Tahir's L-39ZA (from Flightsim.com) with the converted exterior model.

I'd upload work-in-progress versions from time to time under the condition that no one asks any all too basic questions about it.



Any interest in this or is everyone only flying the payware L-39 anyway?
 
Also interested. The payware version was out of my price range and as victory103 says, I wouldn't fly the payware version enough to justify purchasing it anyway. Looks good Bjoern, always wondered what happened to that airplane.
 
Yup, good idea indeed. Thanks, Victory!

I won't have much, if any, time in the next few days for the VC, so you will have to make do with Hadi Tahir's L-39ZA cockpit (ht_l39za-011.zip @ Flightsim). I will not cover how to conduct a VC merge as I expect this to be basic FSX knowledge by now.
Note: You will have to add the following line to the end of any [VCockpitxx] section in the panel.cfg for Hadi's cockpit:
gauge99=L39set!l39parts, 0,0,1,1

I understand were all from different walks of life but 30 bucks is a super reasonable price for the Lotussim version. Heck Carenado charges more for their half baked products
 
The VC model is in FSX now.

So far, I've animated stick, rudder, pedals and canopy, so the thing is already barely flyable.
The remaining stuff uses custom code, which will have to be "translated" from FS9 to FSX format. This will take a while.

1. Note how the link is always the same, thanks to GD's revision management feature
2. If upgrading from last night's revision: Delete "gauglass_T.bmp" prior or after the upgrade and just overwrite everything else.



Oh, and before someone asks:
There won't be a backseat VC. I'll plug the hole so that you get a consistent experience from the front seat, but that's about it.
If you want to fly a L-39 from the backseat, use Hadi Tahir's model!
 
Yeah, Vit did some amazing work on this model.

By looking at the code, I found out that, e.g. the main instrument panel and some other bits react to vibration and g-force!
 
Excellent Jet and I can confirm that everything is functional in P3D_V2.4
Just took her for a short flight from my home base to Grand Prairie. Nice ride. . .well done Bjoern!
 
GREAT WORK!!!! :jump:

One of my favorite aircraft in FS2004. Dusting off my Skyline aviation repaints!

THX A LOT!

I did a 2D panel to match the VC of this....if anyone's interested...;)

....that's the 2D. [with a few extra bits]
