Looking for a Native FsX aircraft? Start here!

Hmm.. it's a pity FSHeli.ch don't update the model. It's looked very FS8 from the word go (especially the occupants)!!

Nice list Ferry:encouragement: Not that it matters much but I noticed while scrolling through that the Avro Lincoln is shown as being ex-Alphasim when it should be in the Virtavia section. It's close enough for folk to find it should they want it though;)

That was a bit of a problem, as all former Alphasim payware is now being sold as Virtavia, so I threw it all in under one name: Virtavia (Previously Alphasim). At Alphasim you'll only find: Alphasim: See Virtavia

That was the easiest and clearest solution for me.
 
I see what you mean mate but the Lincoln was never Alphasim.. it's the latest Virtavia model:very_drunk: As I said though.. it doesn't really matter. It's but a scroll away;)

Well, I've discovered this "P3D only" Icon A5 by Microsoft/Classic-Wings/Rara-Avis also works in FSX!

You just need to change a line in model.cfg like this:
Code: 
[models]
normal=A5
interior=A5_interior_old

In FSX/DX10 the cockpit shadows are not as nice as in P3D, but it's a fun little amphibious light-sport aircraft. Thanks Craig for backport from MS Flight.

Thanks for the intel! I installed this one a couple days ago and everything was okay but for actrually showing up in fsX. This is the first "P3D only" gal I've installed and wasn't aware of the reason for being invisible:adoration: That one tiny fix and she is all over the wee airport next to a big bay I call home -- Bowerman Field in Washington.
 
Graig sent me that model over a year ago to try out. At that time it was for FSX and worked perfectly except for the GPS display which wasn't interactive, otherwise it looked great in FSX. At that time he was unsure about releasing it due to it's connection with "Flight" and other entities so I kept it but never posted anything about it's possible release. Glad to see it's finally out there. Always liked that airplane and the "Flight" version is by far the best available. I guess the popularity of P3D and the latest upgrade prompted the P3D only version but now I guess I can have both, lol.

Easily changed though with some minor retouching to remove the facial hair and darken the remaining hair. A change of clothing and some sun glasses and he looks more appropriate. You can also use a totally different face (younger).
 
Had some FPS issues with the Icon.
Used DXTBMP to remove mips, any 32 bit 888 saved as DXT5.
Same FPS as default C172 now.

P.S.
No flaps modeled, commented out flaps section in aircraft.cfg.

Also changed eyepoint to prevent interior clipping looking left.
eyepoint= 4.2, -1.0, 1.1 //(feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum

Livery 0 doesn't show, should be Livery_0.
I see no visual difference between that and Livery_8, but that might be a difference between FSX DX9 and DX10, or FSX and P3d.

No change of clothing yet but removing the facial hair and darkening makes quite a difference.
 
I would like one or two volunteers to help, or possibly take over maintaining the spreadsheets. My work and personal life are taking up a lot of time, while my interest in things flightsim related is fading.
Job requirements are a google account or Gmail address and a basic requirement of spreadsheets.

Anyone willing to help send me a PM.

If there are no takers I will unstick this thread and just let it fade away I guess.
