Iris Raptor Driver FsX released.

I’m surprised that nothing more was posted about this release. I can recommend it; she looks and flies beautifully and is great fun, even without TacPac (coming later). The cockpit really looks like one of a fifth-generation fighter.
 
Downloading right now; It's now 20% off at their store, minus another 10% for being a loyal customer and another $8 off in points means I bought it for $12,95 AUD. :)
 
To be honest I thought they were going to update the first version

did they get an after burner effect working on the new one
 
As far as I know this is a new version, developed for P3D in cooperation with Lockheed Martin so it should be far more accurate. There is now a working afterburner effect (Though I haven't checked if it works with the thrust vectoring nozzles.) The textures look a lot better compared to the rather flat finish in the original product, the cockpit is more 'complete' and apart from a few strange self-shadowing anomalies (This might just be an FsX issue though) I'm quite happy.

I'm not surprised it isn't a free update to the original, which I own. The original was never fixed completely and promised to be an update, which morphed into a version 2 paid release. They made a similar promise with their C-27 and that's looking doubtful too. It's amazing how far this companies fallen from their great T-6B release that enamored me with them years ago. I once believed and therefore supported by purchasing their products. Trends like this make me doubtful they'll ever fully support any of their releases completely.

I thought the same thing, and I'm pretty sure it was said that the revamped bird was going to be an update to the original incomplete aircraft.

David, since you've posted regarding making a PC24 and maybe missed this posting, any chance we misunderstood your former intent on releasing an update to the original owners of these 2 birds? Just looking for clarification from Iris. I believe in always giving a second chance and your new PC21 looks promising, but once bitten, twice shy...

Thanks in advance
 
I do, but the point is, the F-22 can do everything this plane can do. It does it slightly slower, but it can do it.. That's why I'm curious..
 
Stryker,

The older ADF product did indeed have an upgrade some time ago to the latest version, though the Raptor Driver is an entirely new product, with new art, new models, new flight dynamics and sound along with the brand new systems. We do offer a 20% discount for existing ADF customers subject to proof of purchase.

Pam,

Does that video make use of other 3rd party modifications/addons to work? I recall you sending me a mod to the older ADF product previously, however as some of the files were from SimSkunworks, we were unable to make use of them in a commercial capacity.

Regards

David.

David,

Can you provide a link to that upgrade. Myself and few others seem to have missed that upgrade link and the news of it. Also, what of the C-27 update? Will it be a free update to those that purchased the original? Here is a link to the one we're referencing: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?721-F22-Raptor-By-Iris-Flight-Simulation-Software

I posted the link because my purchased product link is no longer available from the The Flightsimstore, so therefore not able to get the latest version.

Thanks for the reply.

David,
It uses RCBerands guages which rely on another persons dll file. Ive never had anything come from sim skunkworks I dont even know what they make.
But if i can figure it out with RCBerands help, it cant be that hard.
 
Anyone have the ADF F-22 final patch?

Smudge or anyone have the patch David is referring too? The store no longer sells it so there's no update available. When I look on the Iris website, no link there either, just their latest release.

Apologies for being sort of off topic, but looking for the final piece as promised long ago. I am curious as to the difference between it and the new release.

How to be applied to the fuel tanks?
Click to expand...

On the Primary Multifunction Display ( center lower display ) you have the EFT ( external fuel tanks ) option (pushbutton 5). This button toggles the ext fuel tanks ON and OFF and can ONLY be done when
the aircraft meets the following conditions :
both engines shut-down / aircraft on the ground / aircraft is stationary. ( IRIS MANUAL PAGE 76 ). Bye
