Hi Bill,

great model, but I've got a small bug-ette. With any lights on I'm getting reflective intrument panel surrounds.

Hey guys,

Mine doesnt do this. Thats really odd.

Can you try all three plane versions and make sure every one does this? Its either only with one texture pack, or its a graphics card issue. Thats all I can figure that it is.

All 3 of mine are fine on this test. But maybe there was a bad upload, like a birp in the modem feed.

Also try experimenting with your sim. Make sure 'Reflective Textures' is ticked on.

arrghh.....

Its a FSX issue. My apologies. I have been testing in FS9. I havent tried testing it one time with the lights on in FSX. I tested it in FSX, but not with lights on..... I cant believe that.

I'll see if there is a fix for that.

I concur on the lights causing the problem. Lights off, everything appears normal.
 
I have to throw my hat in the ring as well - I can't say what a riot it is to fly the BwB liner in FSX

getting used to taking off - maneuvering and landing her at Edwards AFB

great fun Bill

I hope there will be a wide variety of liveries for her soon from our talented painters
 
Thanks guys.

I did work on fixing the panel texture issue. I havent figured it out yet.

I do not remember having this issue before ever with an FS2004 plane in FSX....

Thanks for the paintkit Bill:applause: Downloading...

Even with the light issue, it's still a fantastic model.

One thing I did notice last night, I set up a formation flight using AirTrafficFX & the AI aircraft had their service vehicles etc visible in flight. Haven't tried "proper" (compiled flightplans) AI yet.

Any plans for a dedicated AI version?
 
Now you spoiled everything, guys. I really thought those reflexions were some kind of newly developed luxury interior material! Now it´s only an FSX issue;) But I have it, too. Could be an alpha-channel-issue?

Great stuff, Bill. On my first flight it handled completely as I expected a biggie like that to do. The Rudercontrole (reduced use of rollrate) is much like I expected to fly her. Impressive you took that into account...Gotta love you attention to detail!:applause:

Regards
Alex

Maybe as a tanker with a refueling boom? Make that two or three booms, the thing's big enough for those! :icon_lol:

It sure is a big aircraft!

Gret paintwork too! (Someone willing to do a KLM version..? ;) )
 
You know, Bill...I'm not into simming anymore, but things like this make me wish I still was. I'd love to see this kind of aircraft in real life. Imagine seeing this thing (or similar) land at a commercial airport. I'd really like to photograph them...
 
Hey Bill, for us guys that are unable to figger their way through the new download maze, could you give us clue what site to look for. Thank you.
 
Sorry about that on the download locations.

SOH has it in the FS2004 section under 'Whats New'.

When that expires, look/search under key words for 'Boeing B-797 Lionheart' and you should find it immediately.

I uploaded several times to AVSIM Thursday and Friday. Every time it was rejected so I have uploaded to Simviation.com and also to SurClaro.com. I checked this morning and its up at Simviation.com presently and not yet up at SurClaro.com

I'll let you know if I get it up on any other sites as well.



I am going to be busy for the weekend, so I am unable to do a KLM. I was thinking of a KLM only last night, watching some YouTube movies of giant KLM 747's land at that small airstrip in the Carribean that is just in front of a beach.


On Refueling Booms. I need to do a version that has those! That would be radical...
