Lockheed Jetstar II

Too small. Hiroshi is a great modeller but likes big Boeings.

Guys, if Gordon is no longer working or interested in finishing the project I will be more than happy to share the source files..hopefully for a MSFS2020 version as well .

Let me know

Jim

Great to see you are there for us Jim!
 
I ran HJG's Jetstar 1 through MCX and added the FSX converted Falcon 50 VC (With a panel cfg and bitmaps modified to a four engine configuration) Works pretty well for a fs 2002 Model run through the converter.

That is cool Brian! I used to fly the flaps off the HJG JetStar when I first discovered FS2004. Still a nice model.
 
Files transfered to Roland Berger....
He will need assistance from the community at large to make it happen.

Again the stipulation....freeware....community project....and should be for FSX....Prep.....MSFS2020.

Great news to hear Jim, thanks! As a former VC-140B maintainer I've looked forward to seeing this project finally completed. Plenty of talent here at SOH, hoping they'll step up to the plate. I'll be watching this thread for further progress!

I wish Sim-Outhouse and Gordon could mend their
differences this way maybe just maybe Gordon and Roland can work hand in hand to bring the Jetstar to the three different platforms.

Dear All

I have a first look ( I am off Manfred Jahn's Connie,DC Team) and see where we can go.

I also will start a new thread as soon something can be visible shown

But as JIM says I will need help and will ask community for it

THANKS a lot Jim

Roland
 
I wonder if in the circumstances Jim Goldman would extend his generous offer to someone else here with the skills and interest to develop this. It's just too good lose.

Very grateful for this wish being granted!
 
Dear All

I had a first longer look to the model

Jim- really stunning, very high detail. Even great in todays world, THANK YOU

I can say after some resistance the exterior of the Jeststar now kind of flys* in P3DV4.4 ( which means in FSX as well )
see below

But still way to go

VC as you can see has no gauges. So that need to be adressed, together with an FSX/P3D compatibel gauge.cab
Who wants to take the challenge in creating XML gauges for the plane please drop me a PM.

I can provide some/many- but not all gauge bitmaps as a start

I keep the tread here updated

*FDE still good needs minor tweaking but so far only an old 2D panel to operate the flight testing
 
Perhaps Fraser McKay's 2D panel might offer help and could be incorporated if needed.
Obviously his permission is necessary. His work on the bitmaps, gauges and systems is impressive.

I have input it as 2 D to fly at all (FDE is very good) but VC will take longer. There is no gauge layer in FS2004 output so we have to start from gMAX - which will take a while. And Frasers splendid gauges partially do not work in FSX/P3D -->the engine gauges show no reading.

Anyway. Way to go

The ones which want to help please send me a PM

That as we have in all that files also gages bitmaps, which follow shown panel

Best regards Roland

Below samples and where we have to arrive

Outside of an inverter light, a light switch or two, Fraser's panel works pretty well, engines included. (FSX-A)
