Lockheed Jetstar II

I have used some of FM guages for my JetStar II panel (not much though). I have the email for permission to use them still. He was very gracious and doubt he would object still. This is a FS9 version though.

Hi Greg

Would you share panel.cfg and bitmap with me?
No big progress yet as for FSX-P3DV4-5 we need new gmax output odf VC+interior and for MSFS 2020 all need to be new

Best regards

Roland
 
Probably not. Again this is all custom gauge and bitmap work that I still run in fs9. Just saying that Fraser is probably still willing to oblidge in using his codes/material. The FSD version JS was the one plane I was really wanting so when It went caput, I learned a lot to make something for me. Greg
 
Hello

PROGRESS UPDATE- some at least

Back here again -->Version 1 FSX+P3D


Sorry took a lot of time-only today I found a way to show the gauges in the VC

And as it is empty need a day to arrive what you see in VC-->The blue Jaeger Tachometers are just place holders-->To see where the gauges belong in VC
All gauges are from somewhere and have copyright-need to be made and/ or contact to the Author


So I need HELP

XML gauges designer - we have the bitmaps for the engine gauges,AOA, many others-->drop me a PM

2 serious test pilots in FSX as I work in P3DV4.3-->it flys (well) but is way unfinished-->drop me a PM

2 serious test pilots in P3D -->drop me a PM

MDLX help as still there is flicker and ( look to Copilot ADI ) gauge does not show--> I will talk to fsdeveloper

Best regards

Roland

Glad to see updates as I am looking forward to its release. :encouragement:
 
dear All

I am getting a bit closer, but way to go still

by now we have

a well flying model, mostly fly in its envelop
An outsidemodel which is good and works in FSX and P3DV4.5
An VC model where,sunshades(both cockpit and cabin ) tabels, seat, armrests,most of gauges,many switches,doors windows,levers, controls, thrust reversers... work

What does not work yet is (Animations not function)

Overhead switches apart lights
Fuel switches and center console switches
Hide Yoke
some VC areas are still blurred
Some gauge areas refuse to show ( ADI of Copilot, ....)

As for test some gauges are borrowed off many other planes-need to be replaced, and some I will ask authors to borow

ANY GAUGE DESIGNER (XML) WHICH WANTS TO HELP VERY WELCOME

Best regards

Roland

Pictures are off P3DV4.5 Off KSAN (Orbx) . flown in FSX and P3DV5 as well but not extensively

Roland has done a great job converting this beautiful model and I hope and am optimistic with all the skill and talent here others will help with this project.
 
Hi

Lonely update, as so far nobody ( apart test flying ) volunteered to help

I am now working in VC and programmed the Altimeter,AoA, Eng N1+N2,VSI and used Fraser McKay's ( which I cannot get in touch on permission) certain gauges

On N1+N2 I could not yet the drums working so for now Digital

ANY XML help would be highly appreciated

Next week or so I can share the updated version to people which want to help

Then it will take longer as I do interior model again, as there is still flicker, some gauge area dont show fully ( like annunciator in below picture ) and many more

Drop a note here or PM me

Best regards

Roland

As now - and as it should look like finally

Possible gauge flicker fix.

Hi,
sorry I can't help you with the gauge xml (I get lost with anything more complicated than really basic xml) but may have a solution for the flicker.

Texture flickering is usually caused by 2 textures in the same plane (geometrically speaking).
Try setting the Z-bias on the VC texture to a negative value (try -5) and see if that helps.

I'm really looking forward to the release of this Jetstar.

I'm sorry that I don't have the skills required to help with the panel.

My only ability is to copy and paste various gauge mods for my own use.

I wish you all the best with this project.

Pete.
 
Wow! That looks exceptional! I wish more folk would make comment else you may become disillusioned. I have no talent and look on in awe.
 
This is in P3D V4.5

Now, that is a beautiful bird!
Unfortunately I can't code to save my life...

But keep on it, looks great
