Nice repaint. I bought the YF23 one week ago and it is not working. Panel displays are black, I can do what ever I want. Sorry but even FSD support is to stupid to give me a solution. I use FSX Steam and they promised me that it works "fine" on steam. Haha lol yes it works great :redfire:
I spent 20€ for a not working plane
 
Just recently decided to give this ole beast a new lease on life in my virtual hangar. As you can see in this video, there's some major overhauling in the FDE as well as my old afterburner tweak (the latter which I never quite got around to finishing due to time constraints). So far as the FDE, I'm not the author but am the sole tester/tweaker thus far and there's a lot more that needs to be done (the goal being trying to replicate the planned/intended supermaneuverability of the YF-23 which was aerodynamic only(non-thrust vectoring). Hopefully something releasable can come of this testing in the future.

Another problem with the HUD symbology it that it sits too low. The horizon line is below the 'real' horizon (at least for me). if anyone knows a fix I'd be grateful to hear it.

Seems that way to me as well. I have TrackIR so I can sit a bit straighter in the seat and stretch to see it, but it does appear to sit too low.
 
I will never understand why this plane does not work on my FSX Steam. Actually it must work "fine" there.

My cockpit displays are black, and even FSD (this is where I bought the plane) can or does not want to help me.
I tried reinstalling about 5 times until I got stupid. I also tried to put displays from a freeware Jet into the YF23 panel. This did not work, too.
My Afterburner effects also looked like blue bubble gum. This experience forces me to buy products only from well known developers who have a qualified support :banghead:
 
Milviz created the initial model and I believe they are at some point going to do a redux version of this one as well. FSD was sonehow licenced at one point to develop ot is my guess. I for one can't wait for an updated version! This model is great and working great in P3D2. Falcon are you still having issues?
 
One thing I must say about this aircraft is that it must be at least IMO one of the most exotic and in deed beautiful airplane designs of modern times. It's a real shame it 'lost' the bid for ATF. The NATF version would have been something to behold for certain.
 
Getting Avionics to work in Steam?

Little late to this thread I know but did anyone ever get the avionics for the YF-23 to work in Steam? FSD sent me an updated F-18.dll file and I installed as described by Tim from FSD but did not work. It seems some of the comments about FSD customer service was right, it is non-existent. After I told Tim the new file did not work, I was told I did not load it correctly and when I showed I did load it correctly I have no heard back from FSD yet.

If anyone did get the avionics to work in steam I would be grateful for the help. Thanks!

Sorry Marcus...I don't have ateam. I only use P3Dv2.5 and test in FSXA. Hopefully someone can help you.

For your reference, the Northrop NATF was a completely different airframe;

I actually think that's the one Batman would have flown. ;)

Yes, Tim's normal answer to everything is that it's something "you" did wrong. Very irritating bunch really.

IF you have an old installer for the YF-23 (I had one from over a year ago), that will install the aircraft with all the avionics in perfect working order. Unfortunately whatever they "improved" with their latest installer causes it to be totally useless with this airplane. The older installer will also allow it to be loaded into FSX/Steam.
