Yak-130 reworking for high resolution 4096

My Final 2D panel version of the Default MS FA-18 - a 'suitable' alias for the FSX Yak-130. About the only 'issue' I'm stuck with is dull-looking MFDs from the FA18.dll - a product of the scale I'd shrunk them to to suit the 2D resolution.

Got the annunciators to show 'stuff' and where possible they are legit....and now look like the real thing [ish].
Canopy opens....mirrors pretend to work...changed the alpha on the various glasses....and still having fun...
Gotta put that great big canopy jettison lever back in....

.....also added 2 toggles in the 'Bingo' panel to dump/add fuel.

Canopy lever was simple enough....
...now to work out how to get the Go-Nogo lights to function...;)
 
Yay...got the lights to work....and respond to flap position....dunno how 'accurate' it is....but appears to lift off OK at the Go speed.
One day I'll get the hang of XML ...;)
 
Added the Go-NoGo functionality to the left Annunciator to match the real McCoy ...with suitable 'visibility' functions [lights shut off after 250 knots or after gear up] ... sorta looks fun when lights do 'stuff' like they are supposed to. Also has a text readout for the V1 [shows 155 knts flaps up].

Not a lot more to do before I can upload this as a2D for the Yak as well as a 2D for the Hornet...;)

That'd be an easy one.....once I get out of the cockpit and back into painting them I'll throw one together...;)
 
In the throes of contacting Hadi with regards to permission for uploading modded files [a complete package] ...;)

Caught up with him today.....and it's a go.

I'll get my ducks in a row and do what is essentially my first complete aircraft rework for public consumption...;)
 
Ducks are lining up nicely....just about got everything 'right-ish' for upload....

Here's where the 2D Panel is at...;)

Outstanding job Paul. I know this was one complicated project for you and it's great to see it completed. Many Thanks!
 
Amazing job Paul,
but Is there a way to tweak the FDE and cure the stall tendency a bit?
at the moment tighter airshow turns lead to stall and crash :(

It's not the original air file as the original was continually going nose-up....trim was definitely iffy.

Best I can suggest is finding an air file that may suit better...perhaps swap in the default FA-18...;)
