Afraid not. You can customise the global default sounds for the various engine types in FS9, but you can't have local soundai folders. That facility was introduced for FSX.

Why not learn to do this yourself Asdro? Plenty of people here will help you get started.

John

With what scenery ado4567?

I don't know if Alpha India are represented on the SDK alpha testing panel, but perhaps a joint approach to Microsoft for representation might be useful. You can make the case for expertise then in both civil and military AI. The knowledge between the two parties must be phenomenal.

Sorry, I think I've just realised what you need. It's the paint kit that I produced for Brent for the Japan C-130H's that also has USAF livery.

If you concur, I'll upload the file to my cloud server and send you a link. This is what the sheet looks like:

The Strikemasters that I'm going to include in the Jet Provost packages are all done. There are 16 for each of the Royal New Zealand and Royal Saudi Arabia Air Forces, all numbered up at my test airfield: https://i.imgur.com/7W8EFYT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Uv01dLC.jpg There are two models - loaded a...

I'm confused jetrange.

I'm not clear what "different details than the texture that's on the paint kit" means?

If you have the "JYAI_C-130H.psd" paint kit, what is it that you want to paint but can't?

John

I was thinking it might be possible to run the FSX model through ModelConvertorX and output it as an FS9 model. You would need to have the FS9 SDK installed (you need Makemdl.exe). I just tried one of my FSX models to see if it would convert that way but it didn't (Invalid X file). You have to get i...

Excellent. If you started with a New Year's resolution, then in that time you have made really good progress.

John

You may be on a hiding to nothing asdro. FSX models have at least 3 features that FS9 doesn't like. The first is that the material settings that control how the textures are displayed. They are far more detailed than in FS9 and are not recognised. That should stop the model appearing. The other two ...

Yes indeed, Gmax is a voyage of discovery. Glad you have "Detach" cracked.

Have you managed to "collapse" overlapping nodes? That and "slicing planes" is a must for aircraft design.

John

I think the problem is that my "H" models don't include a variation with the "bunny ears" sensors on top of the fuselage or the blister sensors on the rear as featured on 357th Airlift Squadron aircraft . If you could confirm that's what you need (and any other absent features you spot) I'll generat...

Many thanks.

John

Hi Jon, looks like you are progressing well. You are right to "mirror" from the command panel, not the top ribbon. This is a simple object (part) made up of two boxes attached together: https://i.imgur.com/YKUQSOl.jpg To separate the right box from the other one, click the "elements" button (highlig...

Thanks Brent. I can make both types. I'll need the serial numbers later, but hold fire for the moment until I have something to paint.

John

Very good Mins, but have you tried to produce LODs for the Lynx/Wildcat, or will this model be single LOD only too? If you can learn how to make LODs before moving on to the next project that would be a huge step forward. It's not difficult. To summarise the tutorial I posted for you: group, clone, ...

Colin, You can't make 3-D models directly out of 2D pictures. You need to create a model using a 3-D modelling program like Gmax, 3D Studio Max, FSDS, Sketchup etc. Once you have the model made you then texture it, either by painting it yourself or by applying surface images from a photograph of the...

Roger that.

Ah, sorry about that. Thanks then to Jetmax and a diversion of question 1 - would you care to upload the FS9 version or should I include them in the C-2/E-2 package when I get to that stage please?

John

Thanks Jetrange. Steve sent me your FS9 files for Point Mugu and they look great in the sim. So that means we have all the scenery covered for Norfolk and Point Mugu for all 3 sim versions. Would you care to upload the FS9 version (it's only two files since the MAIW Global Object Libraries include t...
