Thanks for the heads up. I am so looking forward to that release. It's looking amazing. Last week he had some really great shots of the panel as well.

Its got straight wing's, so i'll be able to land it on a carrier Seriously though, its a fine looking model

[greenie]

Another thanks for the heads up. Another "classic".

[Flyboy208]

Wow ! That jet looks really good. Rob's modeling talents continue to get better and better. Thanks for The H/U Ed ! Mike

That is a very good looking plane! Great to land on one of Klaus' carriers!

Flies great so far! Shift+2 does nothing for the HUD even taking out the slashes for gauge.00 in window01/panel.cfg.

I'm also looking forward to this project! Does this pic show the thingy just in front of the windscreen that you were describing?

Hmmm, just wondering, could this be a retracting gadget that indicates the nosewheel down and locked? It does appear that it is able to drop into that recess.

That is the clearest picture I've seen showing the mystery object!
Gear indicator sounds plausible.

Maybe just a "randy" Banshee!

Excellent F2H Preflight and Operation. It does not appear that the item showing forward of the windscreen is for nosewheel down and locked indication. It only shows during Carrier Landings so possibly a tailhook indication or as Rob suggested some sort of alignment sight for Carrier Landings.

Interesting.....I am getting no animation when using Shift+E+3 other that the canopy opening and closing. Weapons switch works. No kneeling or weapons bay door operation. I was using both spot and locked spot view.

[MrZippy]

Great movie! I'll have to add it to my Netflicks list!

Just noticed at the bottom is the download for AI. I gotta read more carefully. Awaiting FSX download! Thanks, Rob!

And now it's released for FSX too! Off to fly this one! BTW: Is there a way to get rid of the green hud?

I don't think so Huub. It appears that everything is done within the mdl (possibly in MCX?).

Comment out gauge01 (guntest.xml) in the [Vcockpit01] section in the panel.cfg.

Thanks! Done and will give it a look on my next flight!

Ever since the announcement of FS2020, I've been debating on uninstalling FSX. My computer is REALLY old, my FSX install sometimes just freezes up while running, and I have too much add-on stuff installed to make a re-install worthwhile. I don't really fire up FSX that much anymore (maybe twice a month) as a consequence. As such, I feel that I should just wait until FS2020 is released and then buy a new computer that will be able to run it with relative ease.
However, every now and then a new add-on is released that keeps me from deleting it - Rob's Banshee is an example of that. What an absolutely stunning release!

Here are some other paint suggestions for that F2H Knowing you, you're probably already on it.

if your interested:

[MrZippy]

ja, es ist gut! I also see blueing on my cans!



Oh, sneaky boy! Thanks for doing this!

[MrZippy]

This is what I came up with. A nice, bright flashing beacon light just above the white light. I'm using a shockwave beacon light effect.



[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit

//light.1 = 3, 2.003, -18.50, 0.117, fx_navred ,
//light.2 = 3, 2.003, 18.50, 0.117, fx_navgre ,
light.0 = 4, 9.84, -0.4, 1.70, fx_vclight.fx
light.1= 4, 9.84, 0.4, 1.70, fx_vclight_deepred.fx
light.2 = 1, -20.00, 0.00, 1.75, fx_shockwave_beaconb.fx
light.3 = 2, 20.20, -1.20, 0.00, fx_p40_cannon.fx
light.4 = 2, 21.50, -0.40, 0.00, fx_coral_f15m61
light.5 = 2, 21.00, -0.92, 0.00, ps_hellfire2
light.6 = 2, 20.20, 1.20, 0.00, fx_p40_cannon.fx
light.7 = 2, 21.50, 0.40, 0.00, fx_coral_f15m61
light.8 = 2, 21.00, 0.92, 0.00, ps_hellfire2
light.9 = 2, 14.45, 0.00, -5.23, fx_police_alarm

Using MCX, I played the animation of the Banshee and noticed that the wings fold and the guns access panel opens. Is there a key assignment to open the gun panel or a switch in the cockpit?
