+1 for the 'Flight of the Intruder' and 'Blue Blasters' Big A-6 fan here, entirely because of Stephen Coontz. If you want to get a real insight into Carrier Ops, read 'The Intruders'.

As part of my Retro (1991) RNZAF project I have been modelling a few vehicles to use in my sceneries. This has been an experiment in using Fusion360 (which I use in my day-to-day life) to create usable 3d models for FS. After some playing around I have been able to produce some models, import into G...

I guess what we are really saying is; this sim is somewhat ‘finicky’…

My PC runs fine on well below spec hardware, meanwhile a colleague has issues in the order of magnitude that you describe.

Noisy beast aren't they

Nice bit of living-room spotting John!

1080? I'm running it quite happily on a 780ti and an old (don't remember what gen) i7. I guess a lot depends on your perception of what is acceptable. I'm getting around 30fps, but then I don't have any *heavy* addon aircraft or sceneries... Surprisingly it runs ok in VR on this well-below-the-glide...

Crikey!

Happy birthday team

+1 for the Huey…. Sadly it’s a ‘mostly retro’ subject, but a wide appeal with loads of operators (and I’m biased)

Sean

Gents, My PC has at last given up the ghost, and due to my personal circumstances i do not fancy putting myself through reloading all my FS add ons again <snip> I would like to take the opportunity to thank all those involved in running this website in particular those ultra skilled persons whom ha...

I started a TH-57 (from a 3d model website)...... there is a thread about it on here somewhere.

Sean

I'd be keen to see an update for Richmond.. stayed a few nights there many MANY years ago in transit barracks.... fond fond memories

SeanG

Wow! That's much further advanced than the Huey I'm working on!

Love your work
Sean

What is the situation with this please? If the development is still active, what sim versions are you producing please? Hi John, The Huey is next on my list to revive. At this stage it is a single LOD, and a bit rough around the edges, but texture mapping is done (pending any last minute changes) a...

I've done RNZAF Historic Flight repaints for the Harvard and Tigermoth.... I should find and upload them!

SeanG

John, those look amazing! I really am going to have to get off my chuff and complete Ohakea for the 3 sim versions!!

SeanG

Hi John,
New Zealand operates them as well.... I can probably get the same sort of details as I got for the Strikemaster if you are interested?

Another dovely looking model!

Cheers
Sean

I will be interested to see your solution. Me too!! lol Sean In other news, I've been playing around with converting the SGAI Wasp to FSX-native. Very nice looking model in P3Dv4 :D. Mostly there, just a few niggles: Would the GMax files and animation XML's be useful for your conversion? AND, the a...

Hi all... Just stumbled onto this thread (gee the Wasp looks cool in FSX...) I have sent John my animation XML, and as pointed out earlier it uses GVars.. but with the TH-57 I am playing with I may have found a better compromise, let me do some more fiddling with it and if it works I'll share it :) ...

Hi John,
It’s FS9, and I can send it through if it’s any help?

There are multiple animation triggers in play, so it’s a bit messy right now.... there is nothing too fancy though.

Sean

I've done a bit more, and played around with another iteration of my AI Helo animations...

Have a wee peek at the Youtube vid and let me know what you all think..


Sean

Haha... dopeheads...helicopter pilots.... are you trying to draw some sort of comparison?

I plan on adding some interior, and pilots... See how that works out.
