Cool!

Now all that's missing is the Dash 7. :d

Perhaps not my cup of tea, but the model looks so gorgeous that I'll give it a try anyway! Great to see quality FS9 addons given a proper revamp for FSX.

The Beech 18 was my favorite plane for flying around the Hawaiian islands, especially in the MATS paint scheme. Off to Flightsim for the slowww download! :salute:

Great !! It will stand right next to the Howard and the Spartan :jump:
Is the float version included too ?

File downloaded while I was in the shower. Just finished compiling some more 2m mesh and have a bunch of airports redrawn, so me thinks it's time to install the Beech and do some exploring!! :salute:

First repaint of the MATS gets some free software! Though nobody wants my stuff when I try to give it away...:kilroy:

Noticed this earlier and was reluctant to download as I've been caught out soooooo many times with fs9 ports masquerading as FSX native. Good to hear that this is the real deal.

Thanks for the HU.:salute::bump:

If this is really "just" a recompiled version of the original model, all the old repaints should still work. On the Howard and Spartan, the old repaints work excellently.

Excellent news. The FSX re-release of Milton's Spartan was flawless, so I'm definitely grabbing this.

And yes...all we need now is the Dash 7.

Great to see this as FsX native!
I found the prop textures a little intrusive so I darkened the alpha considerably. I've attached mine but you have to hunt down all the prop textures and replace them otherwise the texture.cfg looks all over for them.

I'm a complete n00b when it comes to graphical stuff, but the blurb in the paint kit mentioned about the sheets being resized to 2048 from 1024, so I don't know if that will affect things. PSD files and me do not get along!

But I will probably hunt down the MATS repaint and see how it works.

Otherwise, it was a flight down memory lane as I had so many enjoyable flights in FS9 with the Beech. Now to "relearn" the radios and gauges.:ernae:

Shouldn't matter,so long as the mappings the same...it's just that the higher res textures will be sharper looking in sim.

I think it is due to landing lights

I think it is due to landing lights
It could be due to the landing light effects in use. Open the aircraft.cfg file and scroll down to the [Lights] section then remark out light 6 and light 7 by adding '//' to the start of the lines as shown below:

Original
light.6 = 5, 8.3, -14.0, -2.9, Newll ,//wing lite reflections
light.7 = 5, 8.3, 14.0, -2.9, Newll ,//wing

Changes
//light.6 = 5, 8.3, -14.0, -2.9, Newll ,//wing lite reflections
//light.7 = 5, 8.3, 14.0, -2.9, Newll ,//wing

When you have done that save the file and test to see if that cures the problem.

I got the Spartan and now the D18 updates, but can't find the Howard, which is my fav from FS9

Is the Howard a recompiled update, and where can I get it????

Mr.Mugel

June 3rd, 2010, 09:43

Got the same problem as Mathias, but I need DX10 for perfomance reasons. Is there any hope for a fix? Can it be fixed within the texture, or would it need a model fix? Maybe I should try out DX9 again, but the last time I tried performance was about half to 2/3 of what DX10 brings....

Roger

June 3rd, 2010, 10:35

It's some non-Fs10 material in the model as I understand it. I think it would need some editing to be right.

Now that's a high class problem.

Maximum speeds..

Beech 18: 225/360 mph/kph
Howard 500: 410/660 mph/kph

I know what I'd pick. :d

Yep...right in Gmax.

That second shot is superb Roger. Haven;t had but one chance to fly her and she is excellent, maybe later after I ride my bike, I've been waiting for early evening, it's been a hot one.

I've been having too much fun with the IRIS FS2004 P-40 series too, always has been one of my favorite looking airplanes, despite its faults.

Thank you Ted. And, if you like the D18S, you will probably like the AT-11 even more. Lots of improvements.

Back on topic, David did a very nice job on this FSX native conversion. I am most appreciative. :applause: Love all the repaints too. Thanks everyone.
