I'm currently working on the VC, which has smooth 3D gauges.

More screenshots to follow in due course.

Nice screens, keep 'em coming! :wiggle:

Terrific looking model, definitely a must buy :salute:

[Barfly]

Very nice... thanks for staying on this project!

[TuFun]

This is good news! At one time I was messing with the metal on the FS9 Hustler.

[b52bob]

fantastic! A must have for me as the hustler has always been one of my favorites.

Hate to mention this but we do still need these to complete our SAC collections:

KC-135A

B-47 (The alphasim one works but needs updating, and, I beleive it's a fs9 port over.

SAC......Gone but not forgotten by those who served.

Another airplane I'm greatly looking forward to flying in FSX. :)

One of the "sexyest" warbirds ever built. I keep your FS9 version polished up in the hanger. Will definitely be getting this one for FSX. :applause:

Thanks for the comments, please register on my forum for updates. I will of course post here too. :salute:

The Hustler was one of my very first larger plastic model kits I ever built.......oh....... some 45 years ago !!?? I will follow this !! :salute:

Hello Folks,

glad to see one of the sexiest AC in the world but need some clarifications:
is the Hulster FSX nativ or a portover ?
any relation to this: 84561
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

FSX Native indeed with smooth 3D gauges.

No relation to the Milviz aircraft whatsoever.

[krazycolin]

If I may, the MV B-58 was and is not intended for FS purposes. It was made for a book and a movie. It's about 3,000,000 polys and has everything in it.

I also eagerly await this bird. One of my faves.

If you need ref material on gear operation ours works as the real one. Let me know by pm.

[dvj]

Milviz B-58? Now that's what I'm talking about. Looks like they had started a 3D model.

[krazycolin]

We are NOT doing a B-58.

but thanks for the compliment.

i am sure this will be a handsome addition to anyone's stable!

[yankeeromeo]

Hello Folks,

thanks for the clarifications.
No offense at all concerning the Glowingheat work, too early, but the MZ 3D model is just stunning, amazing, outrageous:jawdrop:

:ernae:

[yankeeromeo]

shame, but why:pop4:
:icon29::guinness:

[krazycolin]

Because we don't need anymore ddoubles.

And besides, I'm sure this will be very nice.

[Mach3DS]

Been waiting for one too for a while! Love the B-58.

[TuFun]

Marek Rys model was my inspiration when I saw it on Military-Meshes.com years ago. I'm awaiting the FSX version to continue my work with the new skills I have acquired to do one like Mr. Rys version.

I've inquired about this at Milviz some time ago about a FSX version. A complex model indeed as stated in the email (Colin), to do for FSX, well at that level done in those pics. On that note I'm looking forward to Centryseries B-58! ;)

The detailing in your screenshots is outstanding Tufun:salute:!! Like others, I can't wait to get my hands on this especially since the basic external skins still fit!!

DaveQ

Thanks Dave! Hmm... basic skin still fits! Thought I would take a gander at the Hustler, just a short flight. Knowing what I know now, totally would redo it in 2k or 4k skins.

I got to see the real Hustler fly in the late 60's. My dad was stationed at Bunker Hill AFB, now Grissom AFB.

Beautiful screenies TuFun!

It is sort of a shame that B-58 had so short operational life. Pretty unkown for larger audiences nowadays (interested in it myself just a couple of years ago myself). Also, there are very few, almost non existent, books written about this record breaking and magnificent aircraft. Jeez, four F-104 engines bolted in one airframe, how cool is that? B-58 is like B-1B, F-102 and F-104 bolted together :wiggle:

My dad took me to the hangars to look a the Hustler, plus went in the shop where they kept the escape capsules. When Grissom AFB had there open house, two B-58's were flown. Man those beast were loud! :cool:

Hello FOlks,

see, read and enjoy

[delta_lima]

Just a quick post to say how thrilled I am to this lovely delta shaping up ...

I've been out flogging my old AS FS9 model ported over to FSX a fair bit of late ... wondering

1) approx how long 'till the native G.H model comes along - if a fair while, then i'm thinking of springing for the updated G.H. FS9 model, in which case
2) fair to assume it ports over just as well as the original FS9 model, formerly sold by AS?

If the improvement from the old AS FS9 model to the newer GH FS9 model is worth it, and the new FSX native model is going to be a while, then I'll happily invest in the newer G.H. model ...

thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Personally I would hold out for the FSX native version. My Fs9 version is the same as the Alphasim version from years ago just rebranded after I left Alphasim/Virtavia. The new native FSX model has many refinements and a much better cockpit and higher level of detail.

As for timescale, definitely soon, just got to do paints and finishing touches to the VC and of course the variations, TB-58, prototype etc.
regards,

David.

That's great news, and a very honest answer - much appreciated. Glad the T is coming - rather like that version with the extra windows down the side. Will there be a non-TCP configuration (no pod, for the uninitiated)? My favourite scheme on your old FS9 version is Luis Costa de Pereira's 55-0665 with the orange dayglo panels. Even if the actual "Snoopy" nose isn't modelled as an option, hoping this scheme materialises....

Very eagerly awaiting this bird - my favourite USAF jet bomber hands down.

It's possible to drop the pods which in turn decreases the pod fuel load just like the old version.

To save space on all your aircraft loading screens there will be fewer models, but in the VC there is a pod selector switch, which in the case of this model changes the pod configuration.

Will have a look at the scheme you mention, no promises though.

Brilliant - load configuration, droppable TCP with the corresponding performance "smarts" - all great news.

Thanks for the update,

2048 Textures are being created as we speak :salute:

there will be some more screenshots posted as soon as I have some of the special texture schemes finished.

keep checking the forum, and here!

[Geomitrak]

I'm really looking forward to this. The Alphasim one was a favourite in FS9, so a native FSX version is very welcome indeed.

Okay, so here's some exclusive to SOH screenshots of the forthcoming native FSX Hustler.

Remember these are work in progress shots.

Yep, looks promising but now no "silver of alu" effect, just looks like light grey repaint, but for sure, its w WIP project.

the screenshots were taken in an evening sky and its not quite possible to see the silver reflective effect. Although its hard to tell its got 2048 textures specular map and reflectivity.

Its getting there.

Definitely a stunning model!!! NC

Thanks for the previews, I'm super excited about this one. I loved the FS9 version, it's going to be great to have it native for FSX. :)

Stunning work! The B-58 is my all-time favorite MilJet, I was about 6 years old when my father took me to Edwards AFB to visit my Uncle Phil who was working on the "Hustler" in maintenance out there. Got to see it up close that day, met the flight crew and watched it take-off later that afternoon. Impressed my young mind immensely and it was all I could talk about for weeks afterward.

[centuryseries]

Just one more for the time being work in progress of Super Sue. Please note the model is a production B-58A but the released model will be a prototype configured model with additional pitot probes.

While we wait, the current model is still mighty nice!

I've always liked that paint scheme. Nice work. :)
