Gavin....using whatever you are doing can you get an FSX model to respond to the 15 min before taxi navigation light on? At the moment it's a big hurdle for XML coding. Hi, Nope, that is the holy grail (note to self, must re-watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail soon) that is still to be cracked. I...

Hi, thanks to Johns insight into how the ambient animation works I have updated the test model. The heads only had keyframes 0 - 100 so they were only doing one direction of the animation. Using a bit of cut and paste editing of the xanim file I think I have the heads animated properly I checked it ...

John, Kev, thanks for the tick18 replacement and the info on the ambient tag. I am guessing that the jerk on the return is because the keyframes don't align with the ambient header. I have 3 choices 1) extract the head model and re-animate 2) see if I can edit the keyframes directly in the xanim fil...

I tried the new D model in P3Dv4 (simple take off and land within 20 minutes flight plan at EGVA): - Model spawns with canopy open, elevator drooped down (nice!). - Start up and taxi out looks OK. The crew heads slowly turn left and then snap to right, then slowly left again etc. - Clearance and ta...

Hi, I have started working on converting the F-16Ds. They of course have their own special set of issues that I didn't run into with the F-16Cs :smt017 Here is the clean model. I tried it in both my FSX and P3D-v4 install and it seemed to work for me (but then we know what a lousy tester I am :oops:...

Hi John,
My mistake - sorry

Gavin

John, since P3D-v4 breaks your lovely Ospreys would you consider releasing the FSX model (assuming you still have it) and the folks that want to use it will have to live with the fact that there is only one parked state?

Thanks
Gavin

Go here and type F-35 in the search box. You will get more F-35 stuff than you know what to do with.

Gavin

Hey Gavin, maybe this bit of info will help with your Flap compromise. The F-16 does not have a flap handle, they are computer controlled and monitor AOA. However, they always come down to the first notch when the pilot Drops the landing Gear. In summary, Gear Down=Flaps down. Woogey - does that me...

Do you have plans to convert more military aircraft to P4D? Like Nick's stuff? (assuming permission)
F18
B1

Etc?

THANKS

Plans - No
Hopes and desires - Yes

Gavin

I was wrong, it isn't on the main texture sheet.
this is the one I use, can't remember where it came from

Gavin

Ok, I think I finally killed off the zombie pilot.

Please try these models in Beta 2 Update 2

Thanks for your persistence Greg

Gavin

Not in front of my game machine at the moment but AFAIK the prop is an area on the main texture sheet (as opposed to a separate texture) so you just need to manipulate the alpha layer for the texture map.

Gavin

Thanks Gavin. Just one more issue and then they're good to go for me: the clean drag chute models (both open and closed) show parts of the pilot when idle. http://www.militaryaiworks.com/Stuff/F16CDCcleanclsd2.jpg Yeah - that's the zombie pilot option - don't you like it :D Sorry - don't know how I...

Hi,
New no pylon version - now with the pylons removed from all LODs (I hope).

Can be downloaded from here. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmOrUMU7XnTMhArxqET2-ZpnWOYK

Greg, it looked good on my system, if it looks good on yours please go ahead and update the P-3 package

Gavin

Ok, Here is an update to the beta with the fixed models. In this patch Non Drag chute versions AGM65 - closed canopy model has lights fixed Drag chute versions Clean - Closed canopy recompiled & appears to work fully Normal - both models have elevator animations and lights fixed can be downloade...

Greg - thanks for doing the testing that I should have done before I released the betas.

Will try to fix the errant children this week.

Gavin

PS - I haven't done anything to the beacons or Nav lights. Must be a P3D thing.

Indeed Gavin, I was under the wrong assumption that the aircraft with lights on were simply in some sort of prep phase but closer inspection shows that the fuel and air models weren't affected and only the normal models were (no agm/clean/jdam/mk48 models were present). I'll test some more later. O...
