Just downloaded and set up the FSX version, but I can't see the anomaly. I don't have FSX Global or UK loaded.

No, it's a "not for profit" charitable organisation.

Thanks Henk. I wonder if some people just collect and request AI aircraft for the sake of it with little appreciation that modelling time is not infinite and priorities not always flexible enough to break concentration and divert into something else? What's actually more annoying to me, is posting a...

Nope. The reason is in the Alconbury thread. Posting the request in two threads doesn't improve your chances I'm afraid.

John

I'll happily release the A-10A for FS9, but the TR-1A is nicely covered in the existing MAIW Beale package along with other variants of the aircraft and there is no need to duplicate that one element.

Give me a few days to package the A-10A. I'm trying to finish the F-35B manual at the moment.

John

Merry Christmas everyone. Have a great day.

With Steve beavering away on the F-35B FDE, I've been working to get the F-35C's released before Christmas, but as indicated in last week's update that was always going to be tight. They are all ready and settled in at Eglin and Lemoore and all I have to do now is write the manual. I could do that i...

There's a lot of sense in that Mike. With P3Dv4 increasing in popularity, rather than hunting around for off-the beaten track subjects to tackle, concentrating on new core models might serve a better purpose. I haven't began to think about what comes after the F-35s because there's still a way to go...

John Stintrom's Loring uses some of his own FS9 libraries that might not compatible with P3Dv4. I would have thought Macdill would have worked better, but there are clearly some objects still in FS9 format. Since I don't have the source files from the original authors and a few hundred hours to spar...

Thanks Giorgio. I don't know what happened there but my search of "Lamoore" in the Download Hangar a few days ago didn't return anything. This afternoon I tried it and it found two sceneries. Perhaps the search engine only works at weekends! Well that's my excuse. John PS: stupid spelling ...

It’s been an intensive week, with a host of small, but time consuming changes to the “C” models following Hartwig’s tests at Pax River. These have all been completed and have been sent back to Pax. Steve has also been busy with the Carrier FDE for the “C”. He’s managed to get the models to take-off ...

The only buildings I can see at Macdill are some of those that I custom made, plus the trees. None of the library objects are appearing. I can't see any buildings at all Loring.

Hill has F-35A's I think Jamie. I haven't even started that model and won't do so until the B's and C's are all done for all 3 sims. I haven't researched "A" paints yet, but it's quite possible I can include Hill examples. Mike is right though, there's a limit that my brain can cope with a...

I'm not debating it now, but it is an option for the future. The idea of not having to apply a few hundred animation/visibility tags through the LODs for each FSX model is really tempting. It's tedious but it would only save about 8 hours work.

John

Thanks for that. I get the gist, but it would be helpful if I could read the graph legends. Not for debate in this thread, but the news is tempting me to re-think what I build for in the future: FS9 - because people are still wedded to it and a single LOD conversion for P3Dv4. Forget about FSX and m...

I managed to get the LODs and the paints done for the FS9 F-35C's this week. The 4 aircraft of VX-23 have gone to Hartwig for inclusion in his Pax River scenery as stable mates to the 5 "B's" previously provided. 16 "C's" have also been painted for VMA-101 at Eglin. Jamie is kind...

Yes I've read that too and I can tell with my own installation that AI copes better in P3Dv4 than any other sim version. We discovered back in the ACG days with scenery, following a Microsoft article on the subject, that indeed polygons don't matter, but as you say, draw calls and with them, the num...

Yes it has 40 of my new A-10A's in the European One paint scheme, plus 11 of my specially made TR-1A Dragon Ladies.

John

That works well with the "C" - at least it will with a better FDE:

Thanks Giorgio, apologies, but I obviously didn't have my brain in gear after a long day. Steve kindly put a copy of Carr2006.zip in my folder and I've just set it up. Nimitz is located in the package way over in the Sea of Japan (might be useful for the USMC "B's" at Iwakuni), but USS JFK...
