Northrop F-15A / RF-61C Reporter

[DC1973]

For a first effort, it's pretty good! There is lots of potential here.

A few observations using FSX/Accel boxed edition.

Frame rates and overall computer performance are excellent.

Issues:
Propeller rotation is backwards.
Generator gauges are blurred out and non-functional.
Cowl flaps indicator gauge is not working.
Left engine is linked to right engine gauges, right engine is linked to the left engine gauges.
Strobe light on belly is constantly "on", no way to turn it off.

I'm also getting a crash to desktop with the generic "Failed to read from file" message during takeoff. I'm not sure what's going on with that.

By the way, strobe lights did not come into aviation use until the late 1970's. Red rotating or flashing beacons were introduced in the 1950's.

Thanks stansdds!

The cowl and generator gauges are fixed bmps - I haven't gotten as far as coding for such things yet. That might come in a later update in the future though.
The engines ( and props ) are a real anomaly but we have a fix for it, should be sorted soon. I'll also remove the strobe - oddly I don't remember including one when modelling the airplane but will check it out.

I'm not sure about the crash to desktop however, and I haven't encountered one before with the Reporter. If anyone else gets it, please do report it on the new Reporter RELEASED thread here on the discussion board.
