The original Westland Whirlwind

Hello Gavin,

I reloaded the plane and tried but it's the same! So I had the right model modified!
However, as you had specified that the clickable areas were very small on the controller on the right, I "explored" the surfaces around the power levers !! And there, I found small areas on the base of the levers, but which are not active on the red balls! (see my image - in yellow) It's a shame !!!



So I put my modified plane back in place!
And if I understand correctly, it is not possible to enlarge these clickable areas!
But nevertheless, thank you for this excellent job of adapting to FSX!
Have a good day.:encouragement:

Alain, is that a screenshot of the VC? If so it isn't the same VC as I shipped with the latest release. I tweaked the fuel gauges in the VC so that there is no fuel tank selector and the 2 fuel gauges are for the left and right fuel tanks (closer to the actual aircraft).

Hello Gavin,

-Yes, I swapped a few gauges for my panel, but it's your last version of the plane !;)
-And I just removed the tank selector!;)
Have a good day

Hi Alain,
I just checked again in FSX (I did most of my testing in P3D) and the throttles definitely move independently. The red ball doesn't seem to trigger the mouse in FSX but if you hover over the lever then you should be able to move the throttle.

One of those aircraft that have charisma and should have had better service life.
I've got the CWDT version on one of my backup drives, and IIRC the Ito-San release received a decent rework (with permission) by 'Lionheart'.
No idea what Bill is up to but he did a really nice job on that one.

Shiny Whirlwind

I just can't seem to leave this alone.
I've been working on upgrading the shine.
This shot is from P3D but FSX should be just as good.

I'll upload the V2 in a few days if anyone is interested.

I've also disconnected the landing light from the landing gear so that it is operated independently when you turn on the landing gear.

Hello Gavin;

-You say, "I just can't seem to leave this alone." and you are right !! This plane deserves it, and is only too little known!
I am a buyer of a v2 version!
Thank you:applause:

Version 1.2 uploaded

This is (I hope) the last update to the wonderful Westland Whirlwind

Upgrades in this version
Disconnected retractable landing light from landing gear animation, light is now controlled by landing light switch
Enhanced the shine and material properties
Fixed the night lighting issue in the VC (thanks to user mcanx for solving the issue)

Hope you all enjoy.
