Hi! Need help too, to convert everything in my P3Dv4. Is there anything to download to solve the problem? Severin - you appear to have asked the same or a similar question in about 10 different threads. I will answer you here. Over on the Alpha India Group forums there is a discussion board specifi...

I'm not sure I quite understand the different flight phases in P3Dv4 and that may be the reason for my strange observations, but I checked the drag chute models at Kleine Brogel and quite a lot of aircraft park with the elevators up and the landing light on while they have no flight scheduled in th...

The pylons are gone indeed up close, but reappear in the lower LODs.

Ok - Thats what I get for rushing. Let me go back and try to do it properly. Hopefully I will have time this weekend.

Now at maximum production in the texture conversion department. Whew! imagetool is your friend here. You can run it from the root directory of your aircraft folder and (using the right parameters which I don't have at hand) it will walk the entire directory tree converting every file from bmp to dd...

Greg - If the no pylon model works in P3D would you be able to update the package here in the library to include it or should I re-upload a new version?

Thanks
gavin

And Greg gets in before me with a much more succinct and clearer answer

Okay, I got it working. You have to remove "fsx" from the model file name for it to work in P3Dv4. I don't know why. Regards and many thanks Gavin, Reggie F-16 Working P3Dv4.png Geez Reggie, You scared me with your first post. I thought I was going to have to re-do them all for P3D! Then ...

I took the original model that had the pylons but not the missiles & managed to delete the pylons in MCX (thank you again Arno). Then redid the conversion to FSX. Did a quick check in FSX and seems to work but haven't had time to test in P3D. Uses the existing textures from the conversion pack. ...

Hi Greg,
I extracted the Florida Orions pack and took a look. Although the folder is called "model_no_weapons_pylon" the model within it is the standard model without Harpoons (but with weapons pylons). You can use the base PC-3 model.

Gavin

Ok, let me check the Florida Orions pack (I don't use it myself) and see what I can see.

Hi, I have managed to convert all the F-16C models to FSX native models. This includes both the drag chute and non drag chute versions. I am calling it Beta 2 because I haven't had time to test all the features on all 14 of the models but in the sampling I did it all seemed to work. I also haven't h...

Greg wrote: ↑15 Aug 2017, 16:33 Finally managed to have a try at installing these today and the package seems to be missing the "no_weapon_pylons" model for the P-3C. Or am I overlooking something?

Hi Greg
It is entirely possible - I thought I got all the models but they kept popping out of the woodwork.

Gavin

You're right,
Which is why I didn't phrase it as a repaint request, however if someone had already done a repaint I would have happily taken it .

Gavin

Hi,' Has anyone done a repaint for John Youngs Poseidon in VP-4 colours as they are now active at Whidbey Island. According to this site http://www.monch.com/mpg/news/11-air/1447-p-8a-poseidon-is-taking-over.html (as of mid may) there are 2 Poseidons assigned to Whidbey and 23 Orions still left. tha...

John
You spoil us.

Thanks
Gavin

Hi Gavin, Is there a complete F-16 model you need tested in P3Dv4? I running v4 exclusively now and would be glad to assist and try some repainting. Reggie Thanks for the offer Reggie, I shook the moths out of my wallet and bought P3DV4 my self a little while ago. I have the canopy fixed so that it...

The question for me is, what happens to the hundreds of FSDS source files I have made over the years for scenery and AI models? Will any of those source files be of any value going forward trying to convert them for use in P3Dv4?? IOW does anyone know what the third party compiler proggy is for cre...

(...) Also there are some funky things like if you first view the model and it is airborne you will see the canopy close. (...) A couple of observations: Your canopy animation is reversed, at keyframe 0 it is open, closed at 100. If the animation would start closed at zero and is fully open at 100 ...

Hopefully this will work.

Zip file was too big first time so they are now 2 separate files.

Thanks

Gavin

Hi, With the shiny new F-16s being releases is there any interest in conversions of the old HTAI F-16? Assuming the answer is yes, I have a question for you folks. I have attached 2 versions of the clean F-16C model. Version 1 is closer to the original HTAI model with the canopy being 2 separate par...
