CaptainSim B-52 Exterior model released

[flaviossa]

If someone is interested:
I aliased it to a HJG 707 2d panel and it´s working .... I think it´s better than the 747!!! And with the sound package, it´s almost beliveable!!

It´s not too complicate!! You can go to HJG site download a 707 panel that better fits your wishes and make an alias to it in the place of the 747's one. I had to do a little tweaking in the sound of the panel (Just deleting some sounds) to not goes over the B52 sound package and voilá!
If nothing better apears i can go with it! :ernae:

Hi flaviossa - How about a few more details for those of us that are more FSX challenged?

P.S. I'm liking the B-52 immensely.

It is an extremely well designed aircraft
With that sound pack posted here it makes it even better!


It is only $13.60 USD!!!

I don't actually have this. However I do occasionally fly the Team KBT B-52, which has a basic B-52 style panel. You guy's might want to check it out and see how you get on.

Great looking shots everyone

Incidentally I just read this over at the Captainsim forums:

"We'd love to see the B-52 with VC/systems, and might be we will release it one day.
But unfortunately it is not in our development plans for 2010"

Sounds like the market is wide open at least for the forseeable future if anyone wants to release a basic, or even advanced, B-52 VC.

Might not be a full working vc:



But it does the trick for me..had to unisntall and reinstall the bird in order to get it going.

I'm still getting CTD with mine:-(

Seems the CS Trouble Ticket system is down and they won't respond to forum requests for help either.

Don't really know what else to do. I've been very polite, but they've still deleted one of my posts.

Did you try the unistall /reinstall?

I would redownload the file

as is usual with captsim, they even modeled the cockpit very well.

How did you do that ??!?

when in wing view simply hit control shift enter or control shift backspace to shift side to side or shift enter to go up and shift backspace to go down and the just use your pan switch to move around, also control backspace and control enter to move fwd and backwards. i was suprised with what i saw, even though nothing is functional it looks alot better than the 747 view.

Thanks, will it work with Track-IR? (I'd try it myself but I haven't bought the BUFF yet and won't be back in front of my gaming PC till later this week to try it with another aircraft.)

[dogfish]

i'm not sure as i dont have track ir, however i was able to pan around so it might work.

Thanks Rick, I did try that - no luck.

Was it you in the CS fourum?

Yes and you deleted the original download from your computer before you loaded it again from CS?

Did you try deleting all your temp files and cache?

Might it not be easier to just set up a new camera position that lines up with the VC ?, then just scroll through the views until you get to it, much easier than having to shunt the wing view back and forth, just a thought.

Let me get viewpoint right and i´ll put it here, is a simple model cfg tweak, it goes like this:

[models]
normal=CS_B52
interior=CS_B52


you will lose all gauges and everything, and will have to regard to ctrl+z for flight input, but i simply cant stand flying it from a B747 cockpit.

Yes. I've tried that whole 'caboodle' several times. I just don't don't understand what's going on. Guess i've got something on my system it doesn't like. I have got a shed load of addons.

I might try a different nVidia driver i think.....

*smacks forehead* Doh!!! I would have never thought to use the exterior model for the interior too!

I agree this will be better than flying from the 747 cockpit, thanks for the info!

I removed all nVidia drivers and reg entries etc and installed version 196.21

Now what happens is I still get the error message, but now the FSX flight loads up ok, but without a visual model! I just get the lights but no aircraft.

If anyone can think of anything i'd be mucho grateful. It's driving me potty

Thanks

dougal95 ... Did you switch off directx10 preview? I know it´s obvious sometimes but what you discribed is the same of having directx10 preview on.

I NEVER run with DX10 - don't use it at all.
