This looks very nice!

Thanks for the heads up Roger.

Very nice! I hope they get around to redoing Mr Lyon's Waco and his Travel Air, two excellent biplanes.

[Dain Arns]

Thanks Craig! Best news I've had yet this week was seeing this released! :applause:

Glad to see the 'personalized' feature Bill always had for his wares was kept in.
Think about that.
He personalized every plane you bought from him for his customers!
Amazing man.

Anyway, that was an easy 'title transfer' to flip from the FS9 one to FSX this afternoon. :icon_lol:

EDIT: I see one of Leon Louis' '8-Ball' paints made it in. Check Walmart Ad (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?walmart/) and Home Depot Ad (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?home-depot/). Bought a tear to the eye.

Thanks Roger.

Will take her for a spin later, but she's already on my disk!
Looking forward to more from where that came from.

Cheers, R.

Used to fly this ole girl a lot back in my FS9 days,sure is good to have her back,looks great and flies just as good as it looks.Thanks a bunch.:jump:

[jojohnson9]

So happy to have this great old bird, and freeware no less. But how do I find a pilot to fly this plane? When I load up, I have no pilot.

[Lionheart]

Nav lights...

Wow! That's dynamite! :engel016:

The Spoiler key toggles the pilot on/off.

NO FAIR! my fsx PC has been fritzed for two weeks with what is supposedly a dry joint somewhere. DO I fix or build all new? I'm using a borrowed Lenovo lap top which sure won't run the sim. Not sure I like Windows 7 much, either. Anyway, "I'll be back" and the Lyons Luscomb will be in my hanger real quick. Thanks heaps for this little treasure. What's coming next from Lyon's FS9 goodies bag?

[pilottj]

If I recall, Mr Lyons had a Grumman Mallard in the works but was never able to finish it. I hope classic wings gets a chance to finish it.

Man that would be a dream come true. There were a few screenies of Bill's Mallard on the net a long time ago. Sadly, since it was never released and presumably not shared with anyone it is probably gone forever with Bill's retirement from FS.

[peter12213]

Thanks for the heads up Roger!

[doublecool]

Nicely Done Classic Wings :salute::applause:

Lynn and Bill Lyons I believe would be pleased

Bill did not finish this project. I took the Mallard for some test flights and it had some revolutionary assets (as usual with Bill's planes). However only the instrument panel in the cockpit was (almost) finished, the rest of the cockpit/interior was just empty.
BTW, glad to see the Luscomb in FSX!

[Dexdoggy]

A very welcome addition to FSX thankyou! :ernae:
Any chance of Bill's Swift? :jump:

I second that...:jump:

If you click on my banner you'll see Graig has his own forum at The Old Hangar and new projects will be announced there!

[Cazzie]

Many thanks Craig, don't know how I missed this. Bill's Luscombe is a true classic, making it flyable in FSX, priceless.:ernae:

[Killbilly]

Wow. I just found this. Thanks for the conversion! A classic is reborn.

I can't believe this thread didn't get a sticky. I almost missed it.

[Roger]

Me too!

[Roger]

Glad to see Craig got the water rudders working too! ORBX PNW

Is anyone having problems loading this one? It downloaded just fine and I flew it for an hour the other night. Great plane. As of last night I get the fatal error message and the sim crashes. I re-downloaded it and I get the same results. I don't understand. I really want to fly this plane again.

[Roger]

Wonder if it's the old CD/Radio gauge that used to give problems in Fs9? You could try commenting it out in the panel.cfg.
I've had no issues and non have been reported as yet.

Thank's Roger. I tried your suggestion and to no avail. I don't know what's going on.

Have you tried completely uninstalling and then reinstalling both versions?

[thisizma]

I have. I'll just download it again and see what happens. I don't know what else to do. I'll let you know and thanks again.

[thisizma]

This doesn't make any sense, It still won't load. I would like to fly this plane again.

[Roger]

Do you get an error message when you try to load it?

[thisizma]

Do you get an error message when you try to load it?

Yes. Exactly.

[Roger]

Yes. Exactly.

What does the error message say?

[thisizma]

What does the error message say?

"Microsoft has encountered a fatal error and needs to close.Do you wish to send a report?"
I decline to send a report.

[Roger]

Ah...that one,
I'll ask Craig if he has any ideas?

Roger.

thisizma, have you tried deleting you FSX.cfg and let it rebuild a new one ? you may want to back it up before though ! also when loading the Luscombe for a flight for the first time be sure to allow access for the gauges, you will have to accept these for the gauges to appear.

Yes, I did that.

[thisizma]

What is really pondering me is it loaded and I flew it the other night.

Have you been able to load and fly any other aircraft???

Are you starting at the same airport each time, or are you trying different airports/cities/times of day??

[thisizma]

It happens only when I select the aircraft, regardless of location or time of day.

[thisizma]

... and yes. All other aircraft load just fine. I just get the error message with the Luscomb.

[Marvin Carter]

Might be a sound.dll???

[full]

There are no custom sound .dll's used.

Have you tried renaming your sound and panel .cfg files to e.g. sound_old.cfg & panel_old.cfg so that all that loads is the aircraft model and textures.

OK...I tried that... any other suggestions? WHY is this only happening to ME?

[Roger]

Really sorry it's happening but it seems to be unique to your system so far.

thisizma this thread is probably not the best place to go for tech support on the product. There might be someone who already had the problem and fixed it that would never look here again after the initial release.

I suggest creating a new thread either here (SOH) or at Craigs own forum. http://mainescenery.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=talk

Detail the problem and anything you have done to isolate it. List your system specs including OS and FSX revision (SP1, SP2, or Acceleration). Search for the Windows event error in the event log. It will possibly detail what module the fault was in. I have used the error log to finger issues with FS9 and FSX and it is good at putting you in the right ball park.

With that information and a wider audience you are more likely to get better results.

Good luck

Thanks, I understand. I'm out.

Wonderful gift. Looks great.....hopefully the Tri-Pacer is on the radar.
