Newly in love with Piglet's BBW...

The problem seems to have been there since day one.

- Edit:
I've tried to convert the exterior model with ModelConverterX and while I manage to get a native model, there's too many bugs or features that MCX simply can't access to do a viable conversion.
So you're basically stuck with the FS9 model.

Bugs in particular: No rotating wheels, rudder doesn't work, ailerons don't work.

- Edit²:

Managed to fix the wheels and tinkering with the rudder.

Angrily tinkering, to be precise, because the whole model pack is a quality control oversight bar none. Why, Piglet, why?


- Edit³:
Got the rudder and ailerons working with a bit of coding magic.

I checked my archive folder and found the J-29 (that's the one we're talking about, right ?)
The model is FSX native and doesn't need any convertion.
I'm going to install it in P3D to see if there are any problems.

EDIT: works fine.
The sounds are aliased to the default 737-800 which doesn't exist in P3D, so I just had to edit the sound.cfg file to alias it to another airplaine.
 
Where did you download it?
I've only found the native models in the library here and they don't work out of the box.

J-29B.mdl and J-29F.mdl are dated August 2007, if that helps.
 
I think I had downloaded it here as well.
The filename is J-29_FSX.zip.
The mdl files are from April 2008.

A few shots:

BOTH .mdl files?!

Can you attach them here, if it ain't too much work (just the .mdls).
 
Thanks! It's weird. I've searched everywhere for information about two different package versions, but all I can find is the broken version here in the library.

I'm fixing your package up with the smoke and AB effects from the FS9 release and then it'll be off to the library here.
 
Does anyone know if a paint kit was released for the Tunnan? Also, does anyone know if the droptanks are removable on the visual model? If so, I sure haven't been able to figure it out.
Thanks,

Kent

P.S. Just reloaded this beauty, and forgot how fun to fly she is!
