New beauty

[Ferry_vO]

So who is going to do this repaint:



Diego

Already in the pack!

 

[Ferry_vO]

Sold!

You know it's free, right..?

 

[MenendezDiego]

You know it's free, right..?

Sure do! It takes a lot for me to head on over to a site, download a plane, unzip it, and install it (very busy lately). I am sold on the idea of doing all the above, plus flying it!!!

Oh, I noticed the wing vortex, appearing darkish, possibly untextured in addition to the default FSX G-vortex. Any ideas or did I miss something?

Is there a flight manual for the aircraft? It sure is a beauty, I would sure like to do it justice and flight it buy the numbers. Thanks for the great jet UKMIL.

Possibly; if you check my second screenshot you can see the two thin white vortices near the wingtips but also the two black stripes just outside of the white ones.

Yep, I've noticed it too after some extensive flying. I think DagR might be on to something. I'm sure it can be easily fixed...what a great model!

light.0 = 8, -16.00, -21.50, -1.00, fx_jaguarvortices
light.1 = 8, -5.13, 15.91, 0.58, fx_buccwing_star
light.2 = 8, -5.17, -15.91, 0.67, fx_buccwing_port
light.3 = 8, -16.00, 21.50, -1.00, fx_jaguarvortices
light.4 = 1, -16.38, 0, -2.90, fx_beacon
light.5 = 10, 15.00, 0, 1.37, fx_vclight_red
light.6 = 10, 12.58, 0, 1.37, fx_vclight_red

It might be these?

Thanks

Paintkit available?

As usual, there is a layered paintkit available, but only to our Club Members. They have to have some perks:salute:

I used to enjoy watching these overfly our area as a lad and that's a beautiful model: freeware too!!!
Downloading....

For what's worth in that image, the darker stripes look to be in better position. From that angle the white ones look like they are originating above the wing.

The version I have has two lights that can probably be removed -- #0 and #3.

[lights]

//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing

light.0 = 8,  -16.00, -21.50,   -1.00, fx_jaguarvortices
light.1 = 8, -5.13, 15.91, 0.58, fx_buccwing_star
light.2 = 8, -5.17, -15.91, 0.67, fx_buccwing_port
light.3 = 8,  -16.00,  21.50,   -1.00, fx_jaguarvortices
light.4 = 1, -16.38,    0,   -2.90,  fx_beacon
light.5 = 10,  15.00,     0,   1.37, fx_vclight_red
light.6 = 10,  12.58,     0,   1.37, fx_vclight_red

Wingtips vortice effects are redundant in FSX since it provides them by default.

Well, had just five minutes of free time last night ... and it went to testing the S2.

First, I have to say, it looks awesome. Likely (in my view, at least), the best UKMIL model to date. The VC is quite sharp and fairly accurate, exterior nicely modelled. Nice touches include engine covers, opening radar nose compartment (didn't realize it opened in two parts - thought it was just one ? ) Pilot figures look good too. In short, a fantastic modelling job.

Had time only for a two quick circuits - not enough to evaluate the FDE to any meaningful level. Though I did notice the phantom vortice thing - will try commening those out and see what transpires. The other thing I'd really like to change is the R and L wing lights - they're MASSIVE globs of light. Will try and sub in a different light effect. Those look to be line entries .1 and .2. The beacon looks good though.

Substitute in some better landing touchdown effects (it's default, that massive white billoww cloud) - again, small little details.

Gaffer and crew - looks awesome - many thanks!!

Best regards,

DL

i'd be very interested in these changes (as would others), that would simply enhance a fabulous model. I really enjoy flying it.

opening radar nose compartment (didn't realize it opened in two parts - thought it was just one ? )

Basically to fit the aircraft on the RN's lifts the radar head folded through 180 degrees as a sealed unit (this helped reduce moisture ingress which deteriorates the radar's performance). To actually perform maintenance on the antenna assembly the radome itself could be separately opened.

You cannot sub the wing lights, as they are modelled effects. They have to be that way, so they move with the wingfold, so they are not in the lights section.

But, you have a better freeware effect file that you prefer, I can change the mdl

Duh - folding wings - of course I can't replace them!

Gaff, that's a really kind offer. I would need a couple of days to get back to you on that, but if I do, that would really, really be appreciated. Alternatively, if someone else jumps in with an appropriate recommendation, that'd be awesome. My PERSONAL preference - and that's all it is (beggars and choosers, right? ) is for a much smaller light - I can't think off the top of my head whose, but I think there's been some nice effects for some GA and airliners that are discreetly diffuse.

You guys did a great job on this - a nice array of paints. Looks like the recce pank didn't make it in - but hey - we're just picking nits now.

A massive thanks!

DL

PS - thanks for piping in Skip - I knew about the hinged-radome-for-lift-clearance issue, but I didn't know about the double opening sections - makes perfect sense!

if you let me know what is the best alternative, I can amend it, and also maybe add the Recce pack. Do you have any more info on that?

Attached smaller versions of the stock NAV lights .fx files. If you're into DIY, it is not too complicated to apply them yourself to the existing MDL files: Open the MDL's with a text or hex editor, go to the last line and change the following text entries:

..fx_navwhih.. -> ..fx_navwhis..
..fx_navgreh.. -> ..fx_navgres..
..fx_navredh.. -> ..fx_navreds..

The ".." are the adjacent NUL chars, they might show differently depending on your text/hex editor. And of course, unzip the 3 new .fx files into your FSX Effects folder.

BTW: I got a test version of a much better new FDE which is being worked on by UKMIL member 3/7charlie, with that improvement the Bucc really rocks !

This is the only plane I fly at the moment, it is on a visit to Aussie LOL, flying out of Amberly, Richmond, Tindal & Pearce

Thank you for such a great Jet
