New P-3C Orion From FS-KBT

[Reggie]

I am seeing new repaints at Sim-Outhouse for a Version 3 of the P-3C Orion from FS-KBT. Yet, I am unable to find the aircraft. I understand it is a Beta version. Does anyone know where to find it? It is not on the FS-KBT website. The latest I can find is Version 2.9.

Thanks,
Reggie

Reggie,
Read through the forums for the link from "kbt" himself. The FS9 was payware quality and had a huge following, this one is still very much a beta. The model seems to get updated by various people, it's hard to track the real KBT model, here's the one I got it from:

Good evening Chris. I have earlier versions of the FS-KBT Orion and they were excellent. Looking at the textures coming available for the V3 version, this one's going to be outstanding!

Hopefully it will be released soon.

Thanks and take care,

Reggie

It has been released at Simviation.

v3.1, many pics over on the Simouthouse forums for all varients. Great looking model still, some of the WIP for the panel are not quite done yet. Looks like most of the FS9 paints will work.

Hail the might Orion.

Wasn't that impressed with the VC in this thing, the one major drawback I found.

[Victory103]

Agree, you can see still see the FS9 roots, but I do applaud him for the update and he is getting tons of support on SOH. I would prefer a more modern VC, post Update III. I think the FDE needs some work but it's fun to shutdown engines and flight.

[Ripcord]

Definitely there is no doubt that it beats the alternative, which was having nothing. And the VC is not so bad that it is unflyable.

FWIW: I've painted three VXN-8 planes for the KBT P-3 on SOH. Also the very same paints and flight plans for the AI p-3s.
