It looks the same when I'm flying.

Hi Ben

I don't know if you have changed anything during the install, or if you have moved anythiung around afterwards but what you have there is a perfect model with no textures.

As far as I know, the model works in both DX9 and DX10 modes so it is unlikely that this is just a graphic card "mode" problem.

This looks more like a case of the textures cannot be found and therefore are not being mapped onto the model

If you have the Yellow Rose and the freeware version and have tried to combine the two into one folder without making the proper sub folders and modifications to the aircraft.cfg file, you could also get the results you are having.

The aircraft model file looks for textures with hard coded names in specific locations and if the correct textures are not found where it looks, it will produce the results you are seeing.

Hope this helps

Well, iv'e had a few flights in the RCS B-25 and have to say that it's one of the most enjoyable plane's that i have flown in FSX.

I think that the VC looks great. OK so it's not 100% clickable but looks right & that for me is more important.

In fact the whole plane looks and feels right and the icing on the cake is the sound. Crank up the volume & those throbbing Wright R-2600's makes the experience very immersive.

Many of the payware models i own are not half as good as this baby. Thankyou once again to the RCS team for all your time and effort.

Very nice, as a prop lover I cant miss the opportunity of taking her up for a ride :D
 
Wow the model is already great, but the "After download" service is even better! Thanks Steve!

You managed to get a pulse on an FsX exhaust flame fx! Well done...this is a first:ernae:

<style></style>Thanks for the feedback guys :)

I am just busy finishing off a music project ... should be done this week and then I will be getting around to doing some repaints.

I will not do repaints of serviceable or static museum aircraft without obtaining written permission from the owners/custodians. Apart from any possible copyright issues, they might want to bring out their own FS payware version at some stage to raise funds, like MAAM or the CAF(Yellow Rose) have done.

So, for now, until I can get in touch with the owners of Panchito and Heavenly Body, I am going to do the Dutch "RAF" version and a basic USAF/USAAF color scheme.

If there is a particular USA color scheme and/or particular noseart that people would like, please shout and provide pic/links. There were a number

For those of you that use FS in multiplayer mode, the idea behind the "mini paintkit" was to enable you to generate a number of different "tail numbers" and noseart for any given paint scheme so that a virtual squadron could be assembled with "different" aircraft. Is there anyone interested in something like this? If not, I will give it a miss :)

Anyone else having problems starting the engines?

I've used the checklist to shut down the engines, but when I try to refire them, they crank but never fire. Then after a few minutes of this, the battery goes dead.

As far as I can tell, I'm following the checklist.

Any tricks to getting the engines to start?

Sorry for the lenghty silence. Unfortunately my ex wife was diagnosed with leaukaemia and I have not been doing any FS work since.

I will however hopefully be able to finish things off in the not too distant future. All updates and news will be posted on the RCS site.

Regards
Steve
 
Other than the sound; It's cockpit & gauges are identical to the MAAMSIM
B25J reworked for FSX. Kinda makes ya wonder????????:pop4:

FSX is a bit(not only a bit) odd.So Starting of engines in General needs a higher starter torque(apart the turboprops which are an n ightmare by themselves to start).

So if you have fuel,the correct engine settings etc and still doesnt fire-->

go to the aircraft cfg look for the engine section and gradually increase the starter torque

[piston_engine]
power_scalar=1.0
cylinder_displacement=185.930
compression_ratio=6.850
number_of_cylinders=14
max_rated_rpm=2600.000
max_rated_hp=1700.000
fuel_metering_type=1
cooling_type=0
normalized_starter_torque=0.035-->0.095 e.g

Till it starts

Side effect the startupsequence rotating the non fired Prop will be shorter up to completely dissapear(but do you want to fly or watch props?)

Best regards

Sorry to revive a topic with such a degree of debate. As I trudged through all the pages, the fact that this is such an old topic led me to read on in hopes of a screen shot. Not a one to be seen, but the more I read the good in this, the more I read on with hopes to see it. I got from reading everything that the RCB B-25 is compatible with fs2004, and FSX. The links were still alive to the aircraft, and the service pack1. So, off I go to see if this treasure works as Roger states. I'm in good hopes and have my fingers crossed. It sounds like a fantastic piece of work. And free

I want to thank Steve and the others for all their time that was put into this. It sounds like it's a real beauty.

Sincerely, Thanks to all involved in your efforts to make freeware.

Happy Holidays

Edit; I guess I misinterpreted what I read. I could swear (but won't) that this worked in FS2004. In hopes that Roger will reply to my dismay, hopefully he will help me out on instruction to get this to work. (shrug)

I'm not near my sim pc at the moment, but I'm almost certain that this a/c was a native FSX model and therefore cannot work under FS9.

No sir. This model does indeed work in FS9. After installing to a temp folder (and doing the opposite that the read-me states by manually installing) it works fairly well. Considering everything mentioned throughout the topic, there are a few issues but, the 2D/VC and exterior look great!! Which makes me wonder if this was ever updated any further than it is. :ernae:
