MAAM TBM Avenger props needed

[Warrant]

Hi people,

Are there any FSX SP2 acceleration etc prop files available without Tree/building/cloud problems for the excellent but unfortunately FS9 only MAAM SIM TBM Avenger? :help:

[cheezyflier]

they make great models, i sure wish they would step into FSX like everyone else.

[JAMIE]

That is why I still have fs9

Daniel Dunn is converting our FS9 Turkey to native FSX, guys. Shouldn't take that long anymore.

Might even be followed by our DC-3/C-47...

Cheers,

Doesn't matter, it is a setting in the material when you assign the texture to the prop before compiling. best you can do is increase (or add) the alpha to make it less noticeable.
I have a few ports that I enjoy and that is what I do, better than sticking with FS9, LOL ;)

Great news Jan!

I want my MAAM B-25 ported to FSX, i miss flying it :(

[IanP]

There's an FSX compatibility patch that works (as an FS9 port) very well in FSX/SP2/Accel, Alex... I have both the R4D and BT ported across.

I've never managed to succesfully get the Turkey working in FSX unfortunately. I believe others have.

Aside frome the odd "black parts" anomaly and vanishing glass textures :p
And the non native nature of it eating up performance and having missing objects here and there.

[IanP]

There are no missing parts following installation of the compatibility patch and there is a replacement glass texture. There are also screenshots around here somewhere (post crash, so they should still be here) to prove it. If not, I'll happily repost them.

Edit: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=4474 showing it working in Acceleration and, apparently, in DX10 where it has a few more black parts, specifically the prop spinners.

I don't say that something is compatible with FSX SP2 unless it works as it should be seen with the exception of the autogen interaction problems with transparencies.

That is great news. I know many people will enjoy this bird in FSX. :ernae::applause::ernae:

Till then i'll go for the Alpha tweak.

[IanP]

Yup. I definitely hope that comes to fruition. I'd really, really, like to see the R4D flying in native FSX format for starters, but wouldn't object at all to the Turkey, either. :)

There is a missing part of one of the "sights" on the second screenshot :p
It looks like a piece of glass hovering in midair.
Either way it just a small thing, the worst part is that non-native FSX models just kill performance on my system :(

That is, unfortunately, a downside. I don't seem to get any hit at all from BT or the R4D, but some other models absolutely slaughter my framerate. I sincerely hope that the plans to make FSX native models come to fruition. :)
