For the flying steel tubes lovers : HJG Tristar released

Woo Hoo! I've got their B727 and it looks like I'll be getting an updated L1011.
 
The updated FDE's will be nice to have, but I think I'll omit the strobes. It looks like there's wing flex in the model as the wingtips drop below the strobes on landing. When FSPro is done revamping the model it should have modeled strobes so that won't happen. I also downloaded the RB211 sounds - I'm always on the lookout for a good sound file!

Edit: I'm also hoping that FSPro will cut some working cargo doors for the box haulers.
 
Thanks, Wombat666. That needed saying! :salute:
Although in a few years I suppose we'll be referring to plastic tubes.

PS: just noticed the Canadian spelling. Oh well. :isadizzy:

You mean the correct spelling!

This is a great plane if I could only make up my mind for an alternative panel.
The sound addon (49Mb) is great.
I agree with Tom about the strobes, they should have been part of the modelling. As soon as the wings lift, they are spot on though.
Here's my SW configuration:

[lights]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing
light.0 = 1, 24.59, -1.438, 15.57, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red ,
light.1 = 1, 21.39, 1.438, 15.57, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red,
light.2 = 1, 6.345, -2.504, -4.202, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red ,
light.3 = 1, 6.345, 2.504, -4.202, fx_shockwave_beacon_rotating_red ,
light.4 = 3, -45.00, 78.655, 7.355, fx_shockwave_strobe_2,
light.5 = 3, -45.00, -78.655, 7.355, fx_shockwave_strobe,
light.6 = 2, 17.60, 10.30, 2.50, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow // Shockwave light
light.7 = 2, 17.60, -10.30, 2.50, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow // Shockwave light
light.8 = 2, 60.00, 0.00, -4.73, fx_shockwave_landing_light_747_nose // Shockwave light
light.9 = 2, 18.100, 10.30, 1.60, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down // Shockwave light
light.10 = 2, 18.100, -10.30, 1.60, fx_Shockwave_landing_light_narrow_down // Shockwave light
light.11 = 3, -86.69, 0.00, 12.57, fx_Shockwave_navwhi
light.12 = 3, -86.69, 0.00, 12.57, fx_Shockwave_strobe_3

The landing lights are switched with the strobe command, as the cabin lights use the landing light command.
