Will we ever see a native Lockheed P38?

The Sky Unlimited P-38, the FSX one, isn't a port over. It doesn't get a lot of love here, but as a card carrying member of the "P-38 Nut Club", I like it.

I don't have the FSD Lightning, mainly due to the complicated install and registration procedure, but, like Paul, I do like the Sky Unlimited P-38! After Stiz did the FsX conversion and an upgrade it is now a great aircraft to fly!

Comes with a 'Yippee' too!

Now I'm confused. FSD, SkyUnlimited, and Justflight.

Kevin Miller did the modeling of the one released by FSD
Kevin Miller also did the modeling of the one released by SkyUnlimited?
Then, where, or who, ahh heck. Who is the one sold by Justflight modeled by.
Added: FSD is MilViz?

Who's who? :isadizzy:
I'm going to take up drinking by the weekend at this rate. :monkies:

to be exact :)

Kevin did the modeling of the FSD one and the older Sky Unlimited one that was done for fs9, i did the native fsx conversion (of the SU one) as well as as repainting it, codeing and a bit of remodeling etc. Aeroplane Heaven did the Just flight one and its not a native FSX model but a port over of their old FS9 one. FSD and Milvis are separate developers, i believe FSD commissioned Milvis to do the P38.

Should clear it up :wavey:
 
FSD didn't commission the P-38. We did. We then asked FSD to do the code base, manual and distribution. There were... difficulties. Those were the main reason that we decided to do all of the code, sounds, manuals and distribution on our own...

The P-38 is being done as we speak... And we are adding RXP compatibility to the modern (red bull) version...which should make it a REALLY good cross country bird. Much better than any single engined could be.

The YF-23... not sure yet. To be honest, sales were far less than spectacular on that one... Maybe it was too clean... too simple? I don't know but...
 
Colin, if your P-38 will be in the same league (I mean visually and functional) as the F-86 I'll need a wig because of pulling my hair out due to not being able to wait.

Question, please forgive my ignorance, what is RXP)

Best,
Mark
 
The P-38 will be essentially the same as it is now with some stuff added to make it more... interesting.

RXP are addons that do GPS as well as other things... (3rd party stuff for the modern crowd...)

Buy P3D and get a P-38 included in the package.

I've been so wrapped up in finalizing my repaints that I've only seen the default aircraft when P3D loads. From there I've always loaded what I'm working on.
I'm off to check out that P-38! :running:

Thanks for the heads up.

Well, it's not on sale but, we are redoing this bird as we speak... not the model so much but we are removing all of the FSD DRM's, hooks, code and having Bernt do a new FDE as well as adding RXP capability (a la B-55) for the modern vc version...

We are making it our own...

Thanks for the space....

If your'e re-doing it, please make the flap lever in the cockpit move when you control the flaps from your HOTAS. Your P-38 is the only plane Ive ever seen that dosen't do that. Also please change the gun fire command from the brake (.) command. You might ask Stitz how to do that, since he used the afterburner command on the SU P-38.

Thanks,

Joe
 
Whilst I have no issues with changing the flap lever, the gun is an issue... seeing as usually the . key is the trigger. However, we will arrange it such that the . will work on brakes when you have wheels on the ground and guns when not.

How does that sound?

Fair enough, if that stops my toe brakes from firing the guns. But why is the "." key usually the trigger, it wasn't on the SU P-38. It seem that using it just complicates things. There are many commands that are seldom used or have unassigned keys, why not use one of them instead of the brake command that every plane and everyone uses?

If your solution works it looks like I'll have to buy another P-38. I hope it does.

By the way, I picked up your T-38A and F-15E during the sale. I haven't had a lot of time to get into them, but they look great!

I have the SU P-38's and the FSD. I like the SU flight model much more. Both are nice but my taste leans towards the SU Bolt. JMO
 
Given enough data and comments to work with Bernt will do a super job on the flight dynamics.

The trigger is used to fire the guns because that's what triggers are for on warplanes...

We will do the change. As well, I will ask the coder to allow for changing the key for that... (this is a big MAYBE).
