This aircraft is such a Wonderful and generous gift.

Thank you so very much

Sorry, I have flown a portion of the paint off the K.1230

I think, this is the right forum for FSX native AVRO,
so i want to let you know, that i have converted Nigel's great AVRO 621 to
FSX native format, which means, that it will work also in 3Dv4+

Nigel gave his kind permission, to publish my conversions,
until he had done his own FSX Native version.

So here we go,

The conversions

I hope, you enjoy it as much as I do.

Cheers
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,

For FSX users, will your FSX native versions perform better than the port-overs ? ...... ( I assume the appearance/visuals will remain the same.)

**scotth6** · January 13th, 2019, 22:03

Thanks very much Nigel for your outstanding model and Ulrich for converting it for us. This really is a beautiful sim aircraft.

Cheers,

You beat me to it Ulrich! Lol. I was having trouble with the pilot's head. Good work. I've small thing though, you may want to look at the compass, it looks like it's exploded slightly. Did you add a z-bias to the material?

For me it actually will show the textures now where as before I had to take it out of directx 10 preview mode to get them to show. I don't see any real difference in fps.

***Twice43*** · January 14th, 2019, 04:03

Thanks to Nigel & team for the original, & Ulrich for the P3D V4 conversion. It is a magnificent vintage biplane that flies very well in P3D V4.3 & the sounds are great.
Looking forward to the other variants

A small query on running in FSX. I can't unlock or turn the compass card. Is this a bug or a feature? There are click spots on the unlock lever and on the compass itself but they don't appear to do anything other than to give a tool tip with the heading on it.

I'm getting the same thing. It's odd, but at least the compass is usable as even without the tool tip the needle is indicating the course.

Many thanks to all,
All credits goes to Nigel Richard and his team.
A converted model is in the best case always only as good as the model
which you converted.
( except you convertet a model like it i.e. Milton Shupe does )
And an original native model is always better than a conversion.
So i'm looking forward to the original native
version by Nigel and team.

Hi Dave ,
Thanks a lot :-)
I have fixed the pilots head with the transform object tool
in MCX, it can move rotate and scale an object.
And you are right, the compass material setting has had
an activated z-bias, which i had doesn't noticed.
Thanks for hint, i have fixed this and have updated the download files.

Jan, I join you in gratitude to Ulrich for making these native models available earlier than planned.

BTW, you can rub it in as much as you like - I'm loving the AWESOME rendition in these fabulous screenshots:-)

Thanks Jan:-)

YESSS! Thank you so much! No more CTD I was getting with the original portover. A little late to the party, but I too can now experience and enjoy Nigel's masterpiece.

Cheers, and Thanks again Nigel and Ulrich.

The FSX native really comes alive especially with the shadows, although there is a funny shadow on the rudder at times. This is in FSX SP2 & more marked on the civil version.

When Jan posted, I had to look for myself.... WOW! Thank-you gentlemen, I remain obliged!

I really hate to ask this question, however does everones Nav, interior, and landing lights work on FSX Native?

Hello doublecool,
I found a missing landing light at one of the trainer versions and it is fixed now, download the
FSX_native_AVRO_621_Trainer_port_over.zip
version again this will solve the issue.
All models have a landing light under the wings and a white nav light at the rudder, no cockpitlight by default.
