Hi All

Does anyone have or know the location of an fs9 compatible vulcan B.1 I know Flightcraft did one for fs2002 a few years back but I cant find head nor tail of it, also they apparently did a Freeware AI tanker if memory serves which I wouldn't mind trying out. Any Ideas anyone???


Regards

I do believe that Alphasim did a Vulcan, JustFlight has one I do believe. I had a freeware Vulcan I used in CFS2, believe it was by Alphasim, can't find it..but looking for it.

Paul Foster might have done a B.1, but don't quote me on it. I know he did a nice range of B.2s, including some 'early fit' versions, if that helps.
 
I think the old Alphasim Vulcan B1 can be found amongst this huge download of old Alphasim airframe http://www.easyfly.co.nz/Freeware/Scenery/x_AlphaSim_really_old_freeware.zip The link to the old Flightcraft-simulations tanker is now sadly dead. But I have got a copy of it somewhere, drop me a line (it was a free download).

As for the really early Vulcan's like the prototypes VX770 and VX777, I'm pretty sure that no ones has built one :-(

Do a search on Flightsim for Vulcan B1 or avb1.zip and the old AS B1 should also come up, it's not a great model by today's standard I warn you now.

Kind regards

PSS did a nice one, though not sure hich model, and if it is even still available, I think they went tits-up
 
The only freeware Alphasim Vulcan I could find was on Flightsim.com....it is a FS98/CFS2/FS2000 model. Definitely not something that would be of any real use in FS9.

Your thread did remind me of the Alphasim Vickers Valiant...haven't flown that bird in a while. A bit long in the tooth and not up to par with today's stuff...but still a decent freeware plane...just needs some updating, some panel work and some new skins. I found a couple skins for the plane...can't remember where or by who.

OBIO
 
Lol, probably me; I did some for the Alphasim one a few years ago, they should still be on Classic British Files. Agreed on the model, not bad at all, just a little dated.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys yeah the avb1 file seems to have a problem with its MDL file I have that one on an old cold war airpower disc and It looks like the Flightcraft simulations pack has long since gone the way of the dodo However this may be a good opportunity to teach myself how to use Gmax and make one :icon_eek: could be interesting!!

Heres an archive news report of the pack i was looking for: http://www.flightsim.com/main/notams02/vfrs1209.htm

thanks again everybody further news welcome

I have found that Mr. Ito's works just fine for its age. Also if you don't have it get the retro Waddington which comes with an AI Vulcan and 20 paints.

FS2002/FS2004 AVRO Vulcan B.Mk2 /B.Mk2A. The origin of the Avro Vulcan can be traced back to the response of Roy Chadwick, AVRO's chief designer, to the receipt of Specification B35/46. This was the RAF's requirement for a four jet nuclear bomber and was initiated due to what became known as the 'Cold War'. The Vulcan B.Mk2 entered service with the RAF in the 1960's and had a number of refinements over the B.Mk1, notably Series 201 Olympus engines producing an additional 5000 lb st, along with an extended tail containing electronic countermeasures. This was the machine which would carry the Blue Steel nuclear missile. During the Cold War years, the Vulcan was allocated the role of a high level, stand-off attack bomber and was painted in pure white to reflect nuclear 'flash'. From the 1960's onward, as Soviet air defences improved, the attack profile was changed to low-level penetration and the more familiar camouflage markings were adopted. Three model and four paint examples are included in this file. (B.Mk2 white paint with Blue Steel nuclear missile / B.Mk2A overall dark camouflage and sand camoufage paint without option / B.Mk2A bright camouflage paint with AGM-45 missile). By Kazunori Ito.

thats great terry thanks for that I actually have the Payware just flight vulcan B.2 already but its the earlier B.1\ B.1A version I'm after since I have both the earlier versions of the Victor and Valiant.

The 70's Waddington I've had for a while Best scenery pack I've got in my opinion was tweaking the AI textures only yesterday as it happens so the camo fits a bit better but thanks for the suggestions anyway

Regards

if you are serious about learning, I have a base Gmax model you can start with

Actually that would be really helpful thank you Like I Said I'm a complete newbie but I've been looking for an excuse to learn for a while and cant think of a better one than this do you want me to drop you a PM with email?

the AI vulcan in that pack was made by me using this gmax source. I would be happy to supply it and give you some help with gmax, just send me a pm
 
Hooky, I would seriously consider Paul Foster's freeware B.2 pack if you have time. For some reason it gets slept on completely, which is a real shame. There are about 8 models, all with different payloads and some nice animations on it. No VC, but then I am not sure Kaz Ito's had one either. Don't get me wrong, Kaz's is nice, but I think Paul's was a tighter exterior model. You might well have to tinker with the FDE though.

If anyone wants I can upload my changes to Ito's Vulcan flight dynamics. After watching airshow vids I made some adjustments so it will fly more like what I saw. I don't believe this aircraft had flaps so I removed that section as well.
 
Discovered this over at cbfs forums:http://www.cbfsim.org/cb-bb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21853 looks like my prayers have been answered. A WIP version is available for FS2004 and FSX and the FSX Download comes complete with an FSDS model file for anybody who wants to have a go at refining it themselves. Its pretty basic atm but he's improving it bit by bit Now I'm excited. :jump: also forgive my ignorance but does anybody know if its possible to import FSDS files into Gmax or would that be like trying to use a rock as a telephone ???
