FSX Native B-26 Marauder Beta Package uploaded.

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...uder-Beta-v1-3

Still a few minor issues but nothing to warrant holding off a Beta test.

Read the docs. Paint kits available by Duckie.

Exterior textures feature Ferondoe's excellent works.

Should work fine in P3Dv4.

Thanks for your help in testing. Report any issues here.

Nicely done Milton! What a fantastic aircraft! Ferondoe's paints are the cat's ass! Beautiful!
Cheers!

Downloading as I type!

[jamminjames]

WOW!!!! Thanks to all involved. You guys amaze me producing projects like this better than payware.......

[stovall]

Thanks Milton and Team, great work. First flight off Iwo Jima very impressive. The aircraft is a marvel and the sound definitely the icing on the cake. The wait has been very much worth while.

Fabulous model Milton and team!

After a quick test, the [Views] eyepoint need shifting to the right a little to avoid seeing through the vc model walls when panning left. The modelled-in panel light is too weak to see the gauges at dusk.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Roger, thanks, I had not noticed the Viewpoint issue. I'll have a look at those "Dusky" gauges. :-)

EDIT: Fixed the eyepoint issue. Looking at the gauge backlighting. I have also brightened the gauges a bit but still need to add a little light around the cockpit for better visibility.

Sir's, what can I say but THANK YOU! I have spent hundreds of dollars on planes for FSX and this is as good as any. I hate to ask any questions of this beauty but do the guns fire? Thanks again Lee

Thank you Lee. Ferondoe's textures look really great on this model and there are many more textures in the library for this B-26. Check the links I provided or simply search the FSX skins for Marauder or B-26.

Sorry, none of the weapons are active; just there to be correct representations.

Can make that happen!

So I thought I'd be a smart guy & select a 7000' runway for my first take-off with full load out.......


......'Still managed to loosen a few roof tiles in the residential neighbourhood beyond.


It is fascinating to climb out in that state, and watch the airspeed slowly increase, and increase.....and relentlessly....increase.....until you realize that this machine is absolutely cooking along. (Most excellent slipstream rumble, Nigel!!)


It looks fast, it sounds fast, and (dang-it) give it a little time.....it is fast. (Right where you want to be when you cross into hostile airspace.....)

Give'er respect in the low speed regiment......and she'll reward you with an impressive high speed performance. If the virtual pilot is not totally familiar with this aircraft, peruse the fine documents that Milton has included. The pay off is sweet!

The B-26 of mythology lives right here, boys!

Beautifully sculpted poly's, menacingly impressive texture sets, a flight model that communicates the strict reality of the B-26, and a sound suite with enough muscle that you don't really need to look at the airspeed indicator....just listen to her talk, you'll know what's happening.

Milton & Company......this one's a real gritty & impressive sweetheart! Thank you all!!

Well I reckon that's about the nicest comment one could hope for.

We can thank Fliger747 for the flight model and Ferondoe for the textures, and Wellis for the panel and ECU textures.
Of course, we know the sounds come from Nigel and are always impressive.

Tom put a lot of effort in the FM and we banged it around a lot to try to achieve the result. I really like it. :-)

Thanks

I will add that there are more great textures that have not yet been released, awaiting final release of this package.

[DaveQ]

Another fabulous free add-on from a brilliant team. The On-Mark Invader can hold while I play with this beauty for a bit can't it!!??

[Milton Shupe]

Keep in mind this is a Beta test release. Thanks for reporting any issues here so I can get any corrections handled and work towards a final release package.

[Josh Patterson]

The only thing I did was to change the starter torque from 0.03347 to 0.13347 as I couldn't get them to start from the switches in the VC. (The FS9 version was doing the same thing.) I did notice being able to see through the walls when looking left but I just manually shifted my position as I do 100% of the time anyway. I did notice B-26 pilots did have the upper edge of the side window blocking their sight. Big blind spot if your making a left turn unless you bank enough to see out the upper window which is not advisable at base to final! Can't stress enough how awesome the sound set is on this!!!

[Cees Donker]

Thank you for an already great addon!

Definitely a great aircraft! Thank you Milton and team(Dilly, Dilly)

Now since my $16 joystick crapped out after 6 years of abuse, I have some downtime to play around a little. Might as well shoot some stuff. You will need my

download in the Warbirds Library under FSX/Effects titled A-20G guns. You will need the 4 effects files and I will post my [lights] section that uses the

o (oh) key to fire.

Thanks to all who worked on this... amazing.

Wow! You and team actually modeled the entire inside of the plane, from bombardier position to rear gunner position.
Will you be adding more interior viewpoints, besides just the pilot's view, later on? I really like the view from the
bombardier position.

Thanks a bunch for an excellent plane! - Rob

[hairyspin]

Model by Shupe and co, sound by Nigel and FM by fliger? What's not to like! Downloading...

[Jafo]

Great stuff.....thanks, guys...

You are welcome.

Yes, i will add camera views to the todo list.

Interior modeled but rather sparsely because of limitations on the FS9 side.
