Still the Falcon 20....

[rotorhub]

More Falcon 20

It is very nice to see so many beatiful paints and model variations, from you all. I have made some updates to the engines, as TiAr has implemented. He will do the HU-25. I am working on a G version (maritme patrol and surveillance) and an approximation of the 200.

I have also upload new models with pilots in the library. The pilots are Bjoern's guys, volunteering to fly Falcons.


If anyone is interested in the GMAX source files, or to improve the plane in any way, I am happy to share. As long as it is freeware. Send me a PM if you are interested. My gmax is very unstable, especially when working with visibility tags (crashes a lot). So post processing in MCX was necessary, especially the VC. But all the parts are animated and textured.


The airfile is made with Airwrench, working with real numbers all the way. The gear setup is calculated and synchronized with the 3d model. But my insight into the inner workings of the FS engine are still limited. But anyone can do the changes they feel is needed, and publish if they have some good results. I have never experienced any problems keeping the Falcon 20 on the centerline. Not with keyboard, expensive yokes, or a regular twist joystick?

The Falcon 20 seems to be of general interest, and I can't really belive that the commercial developers missed out on it. But hey, now we have three Falcon 50s. Erick Cantu has a really nice exterior model of the Falcon 20 stuffed away somewhere. I would really like to see it flying.

So much community engagement as seen here, should be able to produce som great stuff in the future. Perhaps if someone sparks a good idea... the freeware community might get its Renaissance.

It is an amazing little model, even though a low poly one. I can only imagine if some areas would have been created with more rounded areas, smoother areas, etc.
now, with updated engines the possibilities are even greater!
Unlike the recently released Falcon(s) 50, both payware, at least this one has the correct nose of a Dassault bird.
My textures, well, when compared to the amazing repaints seen here, they arent that good.
but still here in my hard drive, as I was expecting to paint a few more, so lets see. For those interested, pm me your email adress and I will hapilly share them. Not sure they work that well with the updated Falcon, havent tried it yet.
Regards,

And...in order to celebrate Bjoerns great Pilot models, heres an updated texture, attached to this post;
showing them in a more business Aviation look and with Aviators sun glasses too
what do you flying gentlemen think!?!

Well, Im not a model designer, sadly, but I like texturing them
If you ever need/want drawings, specifics, data, whatever regarding the Falcon 2000S, let me know.

have some more Dassault Documents here...
Would love one properly shaped Falcon 2000S for FSX !
pleaaase!?!
Thank you again.

Just noticed something....any chance for this to be fixed?
i dont recall seeing it on the previous model without pilots.
here it is, a black window pillar, as if the texture werent allowed to show
in this part of the model....is it an easy fix, I wonder?
just curious,
thank you again, and sorry if I sound so nitpicking...

 

[rotorhub]

Hi Manecas,

You are very thorough, I can appreciate that. It is only time, that is scarse I will check the model, but it appears to be only visible in the "business jet model". Perhaps some double window posts.
As soon as I have finished the G version, I will try to fix it.

I agree that the Falcon 2000 is a great project. I have the Falcon 2000 training manual, and there are many details in it
I would love to do a better job on another Falcon at some stage. And also to get some input from a texture artist during the process.

But as I experienced with the Falcon 20, much of the work is under the hood.
Avionics on this one this one, is a challenge. But if we could get people like Mario Noriega to help out with the system programming, it would help. He is great.

My gauge programming skills, not so much yet.

Best regards
Rotorhub

Dear Rotorhub

What a stunning product.And fly as well in P3DV4.4 as well

( that says somebody which can compare to the Wilco/Carenado/Flysim/Lavigne+friends Falcons)

Really great

1 wish though ( I am not in GMAX unfortunately )

Could we get 1 VC with a flat ADI/HSI area to be able to ""Modernize" that part a bit ?

to one of the attached pictures

even, it easier I would take a total flat area in front of pilot and co pilot where VC gauges sit on top of panel.bmp it that is easier

Thank you for at least considering

Thank you. I appreciate the reply.

Here she is, finally, the Pan Am Falcon !
I've only slightly enhanced the authors main textures,
it comes with a full Pan Am cabin, like seen in a brochure from those days, just check it out,
and of course the new pilots too ( check a few posts before for the pilots textures !)
You may notice a slight misalignemnt at the tail logo, but trust me,
its a tricky area, and I tried my best !
I will finish the other repaints later.
Enjoy !

I has always been weak for the PanAm brand. It has a nostalgic flair to it.
Thak you for the nice paints you make, downloading right now!

And sorry for the mapping. I will do it better next time

Hi thunder100,

I tried to rework the default CRJ gauges, and tested it during development. But I went for steam gauges (they worked better with my Oculus goggles).
The avionics are more complicated, and the ACE xml syntax was a drawback.

Perhaps it can be done later. Either as a Falcon 200, or a retrofit with larger panels.(No promises).

But I can share share my gmax source, if anyone is willing?

Dear Rotohub

All good.Would not want to miss the steam gauge version

Just in case anytime later would be fine.To be a bit more specific- its not necessary to integrate in the VC model.ust a plain survace to put them

but again-->LATER or never

Best regards

Beautiful work, Rui! I can't imagine N&W stockholders would be happy to hear that N&W executives were flying around on private jets instead of traveling by railway cars.

If you're talking about a "Pop-Up" panel, those can be done very easily. . .especially if you have FSPanel Studio (a must have if you are interested in making your own version of a certain panel or want to adjust or move a few gauges). Check it out here:

Falcon thank you - but - unfortunately no.Yes 2 D is easy ( and done )

But on VC if you want to change ADI-HSI to different Rectangular shape-->you only have cut out of current ( oval ) ADI

And If you i.e. want to use a combined one like EDM1000 then you run in trouble as Rotorhubs VC is 3D so ADI-HSI are higher then the Instrumant board surface and that gauges (and the one on pictures look strange)

Just that is cherry picking and only the red one

Before Rotorhub'S effort we had 2D or weird AI Falcon 20's

Best regards

Yep, despite being flat (not showing any depth) there was an advantage to having the gauges on a placeholder as opposed to the 3D style commonly used now. 3D gauges eliminate the ability to mix and match gauges to your liking unless they exactly fit the 3D area in question. I like 3D gauges but not when it comes to tweaking panels.
