Massimo Altieri's G-91Y released

[lazarus]

His long awaited Gina yankee is up at simviation, FSX military.

Great news and thanks for letting us know ! Mike

[StormILM]

It's over at Flightsim.com as well. As far as I'm concerned, this model is a keeper! It lacks wings being visible from the VC but that's no big deal. The Flight Dynamics need some minor tweaking as there is not enough roll rate and too much pitch rate and it's thrust/drag is set to where there is way too much acceleration and too much drag when the speed brakes are deployed (Easy fixes). I may try to add in some updated afterburner effects as well.

VERY NICE !!!!!! Grazie Massimo!!!!!

As far as the afterburners, well, I used my old Alphasim F-5E burners on top of the burner can textures.
Here's the setup for those who have those effects on hand:
Add this in the panel config:
[Vcockpit02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=32,32
visible=0
pixel_size=32,32
texture=$exhaust


gauge00=KO_F16_FX!F16_AB_THROGGLE, 0,0,1,1

Add this in the Aircraft config in the lights section:

light.3 = 9, -17.35, -0.90, -0.80, fx_ALPHA_F5_AB //L
light.4 = 9, -17.35, 0.76, -0.80, fx_ALPHA_F5_AB //R

This is the result:

[Bjoern]

Neat! Thanks to Massimo!

[flaviossa]

Very nice! Works perfectly in p3d:

[Jafo]

Gotta grab this one..

[davido53]

Looks amazing...I thought the acceleration was a bit overdone too.

[cortomalteseit]

Grazie mille, Massimo!
And thanks to lazarus for the HU!!!
Looking forward yo try it on P3D!

[Tuor2112]

This is a great model-thanks! A few things that perhaps need fixing/tweaking to make it even better,

The fuel consumption gauge readings are x10 to big.

The first stage of the afterburner uses less fuel then when it is off.

The landing gear is very wobbly.

The external tanks need filling up.

Cheers.

Not sure about this. I found the xml and effect files in FS9 and copied them over to FSX. The effect only seems to work when the "L" key is activated. What am I missing?

[Cees Donker]

Very nice plane! Thank you!

I realized only when I read this that I failed to mention that you need Kirk Olsen's F-16 Afterburner Gauge file. Here's the needed file which you simply unzip and place the entire folder in your FSX Gauges Folder:

Very nice! Thank's!

Some new paints ideas, but I don't know if it's possible :-)

[ColoKent]

I think of the G-91 cruising in the sunlight over the Med every time I hear the Steely Dan song "Lunch with Gina"...but then I'm an airplane wacko...
