Just got this FSX version on sale and am wondering if any repaints for it are available? Mike

Avsim. Nick Bradin did a bunch. Great work. Pablo Diaz did a superb one also for VMF-112.

Discussed at length before...

I bought the Skyray way back in 2006! The FS9 version that is. There was no version for FSX, at least not that I can recall. It flies okay in FSX, with only one flaw: the gunsight is not transparent. Making that transparent also makes another part of the sight transparent. I guess it's the material asssigned to the part that work that way in FS9 and not in FSX.

Cees I'm working on Test aircraft BuNo#124587 XF4D-1. With HiVis orange and bare metal. In reality it used a different engine than the one modeled and had a large flight test pitot tube installed...but it looks good so far. I'll need a Beta tester at some point for this one.

Count me in! I've been flying the Alphsim Skyray extensively, putting her on carriers, launching... great plane!

Cees, Alphasim did an FSX-native update. I've had it for many years....

It's available again from Virtavia. Really cheap, too!
