Beercan,

Would you mind telling us the hard work you put into this to make it work? I would love to have the Bronco in the sim!

I'd smack my own brother (if I had one) to get something with that kind of visibility!

 

[Spook48]

I have a few aircraft that I tried to bring to MSFS that have very shiny or opaque windows. Does anyone know a solution? I was unsuccessful so far..

I've fixed a few, either by replacing the transparent glass texture with one known to work, or by setting the material to 'default transparent' in MCX.
Or by editing the DDS alpha channel directly in gimp/paint.net

Which are you having problems with?

Cheers

the Aerosoft PBY Catalina and the A2A Corsair for starters.
I'm especially missing the Catalina...

The Catalina I've done, it's very nice in MSFS especially the older military variant, maybe a little underpowered which can be fixed in the aircraft.cfg.
I think I replaced the glass texture with one I knew worked but it was quite a while ago and I'm away from home for a few days.
I can check tuesday...

The Flight Replicas Bf-109G converts quite nicely:
jk9370

jk9372

and although the FR B-24 looks very nice, I could not get the engines to start...
But the old Alphasim B-24 did start. No instruments however..

jk9357

jk9355

and the Vertigo P8F seems to work well, but with very dull textures..

Did you make a runway.flt file for it?
I did and all four engines run fine for me.
Seems to me there is a lot of duplication in the texture folders, going to look into using textures.cfg's to address that - had to create one for each of your B-24D repaints

The BF-109G just has one panel blemish - the ball is crossed out...would be nice to be rid of that.

I have no idea what you mean?
Mind you, I can paint a bit, but when it comes to the modelling part, I know next to nothing..

a few more I have flying:
Dave's Mosquito minus the instruments
jk9457

and Milton's Marauder, minus instrument panel and minus the crew
jk9426

still, looks nice..

 

[keithb77]

I have no idea what you mean?

On the legacy importer, once you have clicked the Import button an extra set of tabs appear, select the Runway one and select all elements.
This should create a runway.flt file that tells MSFS to start the engines when you begin a flight

Pretty sure I have instruments in DaveG's Mosquito (and Beaufighter) - are they covered by white circles?
If so it's just a transparency issue again.
I should be home tomorrow and can post the fix I used.

Cheers
Keith

My Mossie & Beau both have fully modelled instruments so they should work fine. As Keith had said, it's probably the glass texture over the instruments that's the problem.

Edit:

Works fine here. Make sure you convert the "gauge highlight.bmp" to dds though.

 

[Snurdley]

This Mossie looked great before, but now looks better than ever in MSFS.

 

[jankees]

I agree!

Dino's great FSX/P3D jets ported over. Still working on getting the HUDs to work in either.
