IndiafoxTecho F-35 Lightning II released

I don't know what Blender is

It's the latest 3D modeling tool that dev's use to build for MSFS - it's free/open source. I've read a couple of posts saying you can adjust textures within Blender while they're on the plane, but I can't confirm that - I don't have the time or patience to try to learn the app.

Thank you Sundog, but I am amazed at what you write. I could be wrong, but I remember that for MSFS2020, Dino provides good paintkits for its T-45 and MB339 (for this last with markings and stencils). For P3D I made a bunch of repaints for his TA-4 Skyhawk based on his paintkit. Regarding blank textures, except Carenado's FSX and P3D models, I don't know of any others. In a recent message with Dino, he suggests that a paintkit will be available for his F-35. Let's wait and see. Richard

That's good to know, because I remember wanting a paint kit for the F-35 before and he only provided the blank texture. Cool though, as I would like a paint kit as well as it's easier than painting over the old markings.

From Dino on Discord:

**
F-35 UPDATE
**
First, we'd like to thank you for the overwhelming support to our F-35 project. We are awfully sorry that so many users are experiencing CTDs and we are working with Microsoft and Asobo to understand the root cause of the problem.
The good news is that, analyzing the crash dumps, Microsoft has finally been able to replicate the issue, so we are making some progress.
WE WILL NOT RELEASE THE PACKAGE TO THE MARKETPLACE (PC AND XBOX) UNTIL WE HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE FROM MICROSOFT.
Note that some users have been able to solve their CTDs problems by either following the official troubleshooting guide, or by updating drivers, etc.
We have collected potential actions and FAQs here:
https://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.com/2...questions.html
Aside, we have just released an update for the F-35 which is primarily aimed at fixing the throttle issue introduced by MSFS 1.21.18. 0 - however we have also introduced a number of fixes and improvements.
We are not happy with a number of aspects of the product - and we are working to improve it.

VERSION 1.0.1
14-Jan-2022
SYSTEMS UPDATE, THROTTLE FIX AND MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS
- Added reference to Asobo Common behaviors to fix throttle issue introduced by 1. 21. 18. 0

- Fixed color of BINGO line on MFD (was white, is yellow IRL)
- Added missing IPP "BURN" indication on MFD
- Rectified trim symbology in FCS page
- Rectified wing fold symbology in FCS (for C model) and added aileron icons

Hi Chaps

on the Wake Island Avenger jets I have seen at Yuma the Marine Corps pilots wear either white or commonly helmets with the camo cloth covers...

Not sure whether this option is possible in your repaints?

It's starting to get hard to tell what's real and what's digital anymore, excellent work ZsoltB!

I see the "B" version in several photos and videos
At STOL takeoff, the rear stabilizers turn down , as if the stick is being pushed forward by the pilot, but I assume computer control
I don't see that on the Dino F-35

Just got this. What a brilliant model and what a difference to the FSX/P3D iterations!!

Only flew the -A version until now, but just WOW!!
