Scimitar by Rob Richardson....

[DaveWG]

I've just had a (very) quick look at the code. Looks like there are 2 gauges controlling the firing (canons.xml and guntest.xml) which could lead to conflicts.

 

[DaveB]

Well.. I get guns and nothing else. I don't have that fx file so I guess I'd better download the TP Meatbox. Are you supposed to hear the rounds leaving? Mine leave in silence

Dropped the TP Meatbox in and get guns and rockets on that one.

TP doesn't supply gun sounds or fx. It's up to the aircraft developer to implement those.

Cheers Dave

This all seems very hit and miss to me and TBH.. hardly worth the effort.

Anyone fancy trying to de-conflict the two files, dare I ask?!

 

[DaveWG]

No, thank you.

My first livery is also available now on the website in Downloads.

Here is a clean model for non Tackpac users.
There is a new model file, model cfg. and aircraft cfg.
Also you must rename airfile to "scimitar_clean"
Original aircraft package required.

Where is the clean model gone to?

[DaveB]

HEREs a copy Cees. Remove the number 1 from the folder name and reference it as model=Clean

Thanks Dave! Man, how many Scimitar repaints did you do?

I noticed over on Robs site he has a P3D Ver 4 download of the Scimitar available now with wing tanks and nose probe... no use to me at current time but might be of interest to some of you if you have a dual install or have gone over to P3D since advent of version 4.

[DaveB]

Yes Matt.. I noticed he'd snuck a screenshot of it over on the P3D forum. I DID comment but I don't think he's been back.. that or he's gone into hiding

I do hope the TacPack bits were also sorted out, inc. older Sidewinder marks...

Off to check it out...

 

[spatialpro]

Oh course I just remembered that even TacPack isn't v4 compatible yet! Doh!

 

[Sundog]

Every time I have gone to fly this I get an error message which states, "Aircraft model can not be displayed" or something like that. Anyone have any idea regarding what may be causing this issue?

 

[ian elliot]

Is this fresh from Robs site or have you added any repaints lately, if you have, look over the cfg and check model and texture folders are properly named.

cheers ian

Back to FS after a bit of an absence - this was my first bird to load.

I seem to recall Rob had instructions for an external fuel tank toggle to the left of the pilot somewhere - I can't find the reference to that - maybe I'm confusing that with his Sea Hawk? Basically I'm looking for a with-external-tank configuration, or at best, Matras only.

I've confirmed I'm not using the "clean" model, and I don't have TacPac. Anyone recall if there was some other stores configurations built into the model?

thanks,

dl

I really hope somebody smarter than me replies... I've been going crazy trying to get the drop tanks to show myself, but with no success...

 

[IFlySWA]

I honestly don't think this model has drop tanks. When viewing the model using ModelConverterX you see no drop tanks. You only see the missiles and rocket pods.
