New! NASA M2-F1 ZipDive! Download



File Description:
Here's a different sort of glider for you to try out! The NASA M2-F1 was a lightweight, unpowered prototype aircraft, developed to flight test the wingless lifting body concept. The "M" refers to "manned" and "F" refers to "flight". In 1962, NASA Dryden management approved a program to build a lightweight, unpowered lifting body prototype. It featured a plywood shell placed over a tubular steel frame crafted at Dryden. For more background info check Wikipedia!

This totally made my day ... until I loaded it and couldn't get it run. Noticed it had a panel.cfg missing - added one from another aircraft - so I could at least get the model to show in the menu - which it did ... but I couldn't see the plane in the previewer/hangar viewer ...

... and when I loaded the plane in the sim, it didn't show, either VC or spot view.

Re-ran the DX10 fixer, on FSX + Accell, to make sure.

Anyone else have issues with this?

Can't have too many lifting bodies .... :)

No panel.cfg ....no texture.cfg AND no model.cfg

I've put in all 3 and still it's invisible.
My guess is it's an Area 51 'stealth'...;)

Next step is to have a closer look at all the graphic files...;)

Edit....flipped and switched the 'main.dds' to a triple 8 BMP and still no go.
 
Thanks for trying .... so sad ... wonder if this addon was supposed to be for FSX basic (not Accell???)

It's been reposted today with missing files corrected.

File Description:
The first M2-F1 I uploaded was missing some critical files. This one replaces it and is 100% complete. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please give it another try. :)

Nope...now has a 2D panel....but it's still seriously stealth...ie...invisible....;)
 
got it going ... restarted and reran DX10 fixer...

Well, it's basic ... :)

Pilot is roughly twice the size he should be, tires are more like casters than tyres (proportion-wise), and the textures have a funny see-through element - very likely due to DX10.

The instruments were a bit adapted from the actual one http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/M2-F1/Large/E-9649.jpg, and there is no flare-rocket (that'd be cool, as I think Piglet's X-24a had a good rocket motor engine effect that could be scaled down and made to work).

FDE-wise ... hard to tell ... - did just one slew up to 9000'. At altitude, it seems to have more lift than I would have thought - but, feels about right at pre-flare. Again, it's a bit of a guess having only a couple of minutes to try.

Exterior textures, if transparency could be fixed, are not bad. VC textures are very rudimentary - don't know what if anything can be done.

All in all, I'm glad someone took a stab at the amazing lifting body model family. I'm stoked to try and port the X-24A (thought Laz did one a while back), and as far as this goes, was exposed to something called aerotow for the first time - looks like a cool find in its own right.

So thanks Mr. Cowan - a little gem in the rough, that wil likely get some good air time, and hopefully some tweaks as well.

Over at Avsim - Bartel trainers.

New! Bartel trainer aircraft package ZipDive! Download

File Description:
The Bartel BM-4a,B M-4h and BM-5d trainers was a Polish biplane aircrafts. BM-4a was the first plane of Polish design put into production. Used from 1929 to 1939 by the Polish Air Force, manufactured in the Wielkopolska Aircraft Factory WWS "Samolot" in Poznan. All Bartel training aircrafts had very good handling, high stability and the total spin resistance, provide high security in primary training. Aircrafts constructed from wood, canvas and aluminum characterized by interchangeability of the upper and lower wings and the standardization of parts and materials.

I get: 'A fatal error occurred', with all three planes!

I'm curious if other people get these planes working in FS.
