Iconic Aircraft Aviation Forum

thought I would make a post on the progress of the flight sim aircraft I am making so the work so far,

I have now added textures,

then made the backend smaller and added wing tip probes sorted the transparency issues i had (could see through the wings and fixed the landing gear so it retracts)

still got loads of jobs to do to finish it up, add suspension travel, animate the tires and front wheel steering, sort out the textures so they fit better and look right and maybe remake the wings so they can be made smooth but as it stands at the moment it is quite usable already, pretty happy with the results so far

Dougs, I can't even imagine how much work
and care goes into this sort of thing!

What I DO see is devotion and knowledge and
a process.

I do the same thing with editing, but I simply
can't imagine doing it with images and motion!

It obviously makes you happy, so Keep It UP!

And keep showing us what you're UP to, okay?

Danf.

Keep it up matey!

Looks like the air tests are going well.

definitely will go better now i am home and can use a joystick nightmare trying to fly with the keyboard to check the landing gear retractions

Looking good mate

been busy removing bugs and cleaning up the model and textures



and my fave pic so far

still got loads I can/need to fix
think i might make an Avro 707 to go with its bigger bro
bit like this one i did in gmax but will have to remake it again

She looks fabulous Dougs, keep it up!

btw, the prototypes carried a different livery than the rest of the Vulcans:

Plenty of pics on google images of the prtotype9s) just search vulcan vx770 or vx777

Thanks Henry brill pic I can send u an update if you want now got airbrakes better but not finished textures proper sound file moving wheels etc just let me know Doug

would love to dougs

ok pretty much finished for now so if anyone wants a B1 Vulcan model for flight sim 2004 its all done. i dont currently have a copy on the web so i can only send it in parts so you will need to know how to arrange them in an aircraft folder

One word.... Superb

GREAT.

Agreed. It is really good. Shame I have FSX

Never fear that may well be the next development looking into what I need to do to make the model work in FSX will post if I get it up and running

Good man

Excellent news, would be great have her in FSX. Oh by the way Dougs, there were no roundels under the wings on the prototypes, just the registration i think.

Hi Henry I copied the design from photos of vx770 she did get about 3 different paint schemes in her short life but the one I made did exist.

had a play putting it into fsx works ok but have loads more buggs to fix

come and have a go if you think your big enough!

Gotta love progress

anyone who would like to download the fs2004 version of the B1 it is now up on simviation website http://simviation.com/1/browse-FS2004-31-0

Woops my bad Dougs, and can't wait for her be in FSX

TEST PILOTS WANTED!

ok now have a BETA version for FSX (works but not great looking) suggest that the justflight (edit: ment to say the iris )vulcan panel and sounds are used with my model PM me with email address 12MB zip file sent on return

Vulcan B1 VX770 now availible for download for FSX
http://simviation.com/1/browse-FSX-54-0
Let me know what you think I would suggest swapping the panel and sound folders with the iris Vulcan ones just copy and replace them in the 698 prototype folder

For some reason Dougs i get this problem, do you know what is up?

Thanks,
Henry

whoops sorry about that. Think it has something to do with reflecting textures i tried out. If you download the one on simivation (link above) and just replace the model in the model folder that should sort it.
BTW anyone got suggestions on mods/ additions for the model (i am going to be working on it this week) weaponry extra fuel tanks etc
