Adaptation Beriev BE-103 FSX




There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I found it at Fly Away Simulations updated for FSX and two of the color schemes are very smart looking on it! I'd post a link but I'm not sure what the rules for posting links are but a Google search will bring it up. The instrument panel is reflective like a mirror, in the outside view the scenery sometimes shows through the window curtains. (Looks similar to how textures disappear behind prop disks on some FS9 planes run in FSX.) it flies and gets on/off the water fine. No floats so one wing will rest in the water. I changed the sound alias in mine from the King Air to the Baron as the 103 looks piston powered.
I'm afraid that unless this original OP returns to add some additional insight concerning his post we won't find it anywhere. I know the cockpit is not the original texturing, the exterior is likewise. Either he has done the work to update the airplane, possibly to native FSX or he's simply updated the texturing throughout. Either way, we may not know for sure unless he decides to come back and explain.If the file name is beriv103.zip then I am not sure this is the update as all the files within are dated 2007 except the air file which is yikes! 2003
I could not find another 103 at the above site.
Yes, that was it. Then it probably hasn't been updated even though the title says FSX. (I didn't look at dates.) That would explain my instrument panel and curtains.If the file name is beriv103.zip then I am not sure this is the update as all the files within are dated 2007 except the air file which is yikes! 2003

Gary, what I hoped we had here was possibly a "Native FSX" conversion, however Mario has indicated that all he did was some new textures and a revamp of the VC. So it remains an FS9 compiled airplane. Having moved on to P3D_V4, it's of no interest to me at least and as intermittent as Mario is with his participation in the forum, he may not resurface for awhile.This is an excellent aircraft, and it would be good to have access to any FSX compatibility updates.
FYI: This aircraft was reportedly delivered to Wittman Regional at KOSH 'inside' the Antonov 225 cargo bay.
I have a video (somewhere) I captured from the Oshkosh Seaplane Base during EAA AirVenture years ago, of the BE103 demo flight by a skilled lady pilot who quite admirably showed off the unique capabilities of this aircraft.
That BE103 aircraft was subsequently turned over to the proud new owner.
