Thankyou, that's perfect, John.

I am in a sunny Kent today, in Canterbury, and a Spitfire has not long passed overhead. The sound of a Merlin was never more appropriate, and very moving.

Hi Sean,

I found a couple of photos of a Mushshak (or Super Mushshak, hard to tell), toting a small (dummy?) missile under each wing. I haven't seen a drawing anywhere, but I could add an approximate rendition with the appropriate pylons with and without a round.

Jon

Now that is released..... any plans for some other variants? Like the older model, armed, and flying in Africa perchance ;-) SeanG My focus and interest was Scandinavia, and I didn't notice much reference material for an armed version when doing the initial models, although admittedly I wasn't real...

Hi Greg,

I was sure I had, but the memory isn't what it was.. I've just uploaded now.

Cheers,

Jon

After numerous delays, I have just uploaded my small MFI-17 project to MAIW. There are three files, representing the aircraft currently in service with the Royal Danish and Norwegian air forces, plus flight plans and a paint kit. This is the first thing I have ever made in Gmax, so I am just a littl...

It seems it was the ini file, but which? Turns out I had two, one in the Gmax root folder, which included editor parameters, and one the gamepacks/FS2004 folder. I backed up both, and now the Navigator is working.

I cannot open the Gmax material navigator, either from the top menu, using the M key, or from the materials editor. I have seen some discussion of this on other sites, but without a clear or satisfactory solution. Has anyone here experienced this problem? I am using Windows 10, but I have had that o...

When I looked in TTools, all the waypoints were there, but none of the airports. I added the latter manually and all was okay. A plus, then for AIFP if it addresses that issue.

Jon G

Thankyou, that's perfect.

Jon G

Okay Sean, that clinches it! LOD's are a first for me, but with further guidance offered from John I'll give it a go. I'm not very quick, though..

LODs for your model Jon - you may only need 3 or 4, should take only an hour or two. I can show you how to do that in Gmax when you are ready.

John

Thanks John

Steve, The upgraded Pakistani Super Mushshak is externally pretty much identical as far as I can see, although it can be armed, and I haven't looked for reference photos for that. The Danish ones I've done have a prominent dorsal aerial, which I would remove anyway for possible Norwegian examples I ...

Thanks Martin!

It's FS9. It's where most of my interest still is, but also the simplest place from which to start. I've read a little about FSX/P3D conversion, but I've not tried any of that.

By the way, if memory serves, you were once interested in the Noratlas as an AI subject?

Jon G

There's someone on the forum that's been building the MFI-17 as a Gmax learning experience. I know that because i have been helping him get there, but I'll let him say more when and if he is ready to do so. John With John's help, I have a serviceable MFI-17. As it's my first attempt, it has numerou...

I think it's well worth pursuing, there are quite a few military, government and civilian operators around the world, including a number servicing the oil industry. Also, I for one will be grateful for the helicopter itself, whether or not many sceneries are produced. Maybe the community can be insp...

I think it's possible to import/convert .psp into psd.

Jon G

That's a great suggestion, really looking forward to it. Where did Snoopy live, was it Benson?

Jon G

Thanks, that's very useful. At this stage, bottom line, if I base my work on a default file, I'm safe.

Jon

Thanks John, I'll try that tomorrow and report back All is well. In truth, I'd got myself in a tangle, but a clean SDK re-install has got me there, and I now have a model to test and in due course to paint. A new question: clearly I've borrowed an FDE, and topically this has been alluded to in anot...

Thanks John, I'll try that tomorrow and report back.
