Tempest Mk. 2 by David Hanvey and Paul Barry - ported to FSX?

I think I know the answer ... but since the model minds here are much bigger than my own ...

Has anyone been able to do this? I've tried, and get a "cannnot display model" message. Pity, since, Morton did a few delicious repaints for it ...



thanks,

That does look like a magnificent plane. Does it have a VC?

Yep, it has.

Something was amiss with it that didn't please me 'though...I think it was lack of clickable features.

It's got to be one of the best looking aircraft ever produced the Tempest 2! Any chance of some VC shots?

Well, the irony is that Daniel Garnier converted the Hanvey/Barry Tempest IV to FSX. VC is basic - but I'm more of a 2D panel guy, so that never held me back from an otherwise phenomenal airplane.

So, if the IV can be converted, I'm assuming the II can too. I know these started life as FS2002 models - but in the absence of a II, I'd be ecstatic for the exterior model to be resolved.

Thoughts?

Didn't they also have a Sea Fury? Loved that one in FS9. Flew so nicely for a warbird. Assume it cannot be ported due to the FS2002 model, but maybe not?

Exactly. Danny Garnier ported the Tempest IV, so theoretically, both the II and the SF should also. I wrote him an email - we'll see what happens ....

Hi

You should be able to get the Tempest II to show in FSX. I have just tried it (FSX and SP1 and 2). The only visual problem I noticed was the 'moving' prop texture which gives a see through effect when viewed from the front. Just take the aircraft file only to start with and place it into your airplanes folder in FSX.

BTW, both the Tempest II and VI were designed for FS9 (whereas the Sea Fury was designed for FS2002) and from memory used a later version of FSDS (although I may be wrong and just having another 'senior moment!).

Cheers Paul

partial success

I was using the CFS2 install, not the FS9 install. That worked - but with the standard prop disk and VC issues. VC I could happily live without - would be nice if the prop disk could get resolved. Morton's paints make it look just killer ...
