Revisiting the Alphasim TSR2 in FSX

[fsafranek]

I'd love to make a TSR2 one day - such an awesome looking machine plus I have one down at Duxford for reference material.... Not sure it's popular enough to justify the time it would take, but then I did make the A-12 which is not exactly the most popular of that family of machines. Plus I was thinking about retirement from this hobby....

How popular is it? Give me a show of hands for a new payware TSR2.

Yes David. Please!

Hi David,

I'm in! I highly recommend this book, TSR2: Britain's Lost Bomber for reference. Of course, Barry Hygate's drawings are indispensable. If I ever get back to modeling, I will make a P.1121 one day.

It's a 'yes' from me...

To be honest, I'd rate the Tornado as a much more efficient solution for the TSR2's mission (just look at the bloody complex and compact airframe and engines!), but since you're specialized in fairly oddball, high velocity birds, just go for it!


And then do the CF-105. And Lockheed Lancer.

Absolutely! One of the most beautiful a/c of thr Cold War era, imho. Please, do this.

England has made some blunders in their aviation industry (Trident, retiring the Harrier, giving Russia their first jet engine, etc.) primarily from political reasons. Would love to see some of these grace our skies.

Yes, I would love one....would remind me of being in the Weybridge Design Office for 3 years working on her......
Can't be many of us left.

Centuryseries, should you decide to build the TSR2, I'd love to have a new version. Also, I have a copy of the pilot and crew manual to help the project along.

Wow, that is some pedigree, Keith

He has for the moment ceased development of that model, the story of which can be noted here https://cbfsim.co.uk/cbfs_bb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=30322&p=330884&hilit=tsr2#p330884

Hi Paul,

Could you please give directions how to convert the FS9 TRS-2 model to FSX native with ModelConverterX?
I have never done such an action before and ModelConverterX seems to convert to .bgl files....
Anyhow thanks in advance for replying.

Greetings Jan.

MCX is a very cool gizmo- I'm using it as an all-around compiler, even managed to pull off a (just acceptable) simple aircraft model from scratch with sketchup/FSDS/MCX.
Somewhere, there is a thread- model converter X questions and help, I think; you'll have to do some searching. That'll get you started.
The alpha TSR.2 gave me some problems with the drag chute- the door isn't on an animation or a separate material, so I couldn't find a way to manipulate that- ended up with the door hanging open, couldn't even sand it off... unless somebody else found a work around?
