Revisiting the Cloud 9 Phantom porting issue..

[Navy Chief]

Almost a year ago, I asked the question about whether the C9 Phantom could be successfully ported to FSX?

The answer then was that the aircraft itself will port ok, but not the gauges.

My question now would be, could another aircraft gauges be aliased to the C9 Phantom? I bought the C9

F-4, and really liked the model. It would be nice to get it to work in FSX. NC

Another question along the same lines....C9 products are being sold through another site, so am wondering if I can re-download that package?

[SiR_RiPPER]

I saw someone had merged the freeware IRIS F-15 gauges with the C9 F-4E in FSX and it worked great. The systems wouldn't work though, as their gauges were incompatible with FSX. You will have all the basic flight instruments available though.

like these..
yes im in FSX!

Gosh, I forgot all about that plane..

....were you able to get the flaps and BOTH canopies working?

Kent

Flaps aren't visibly animated at initial setting, but are at full flaps. Canopies are not working.

Kent

All the flap settings work fine, but there is the issue with the canopy that don't work..!
I have to say this bird is my favorite at the moment..lol.

I coded a fix for a couple of annoying portover issues, this should give you the animations/parts which were invisible in FSX:

- Parking stuff: Click the new "P" icon to show/hide chocks, covers, safety pins and ladder.
- Canopy open/close: Click the new "C" icon or use Exit1 key (Shift-E).
- Jettison Stores : Click the new "J" icon.
- Dragchute : Throttle to idle, then hit the thrust reverser key (F2) to deploy the chute, throttle up to drop it.
- Tail light : The ugly gap is now covered.
- Auto slats controller: Drops the slats as AoA increases (works at speeds above 240 kias). Below 240 kias, set flaps/slats for takeoff/landing with the Full Flaps key (F8).

The gauge and instructions are in the attachment - see the readme file.
BTW: Scenery is RAF Bentwaters from the Airfield Construction Group - FSX Twin Bases.

I wish I had this. It's still a beautiful model.

Great job, Henk! I took off from NAS Fallon, and did some T & Gs. Absolutely beautiful! Love being able to use the drag chute again. Everything works so much better now. The sound of the J79s was fantastic, eh? That unmistakable scream! NC

I'm pretty sure it is still payware. Try this page...

[wombat666]

Payware but completely unsupported, and FS9, not FSX.

We've been very lucky that someone has taken an interest, and has the necessary skill sets to help with this.

I wonder if there could be interest in porting the Virtavia TSR2.....
Now there's a challenge.

I agree. There is one on the Alphasim/Virtavia freeware page but I think it is FS2002 vintage. Not sure what Phil did with the newer one (if there was a newer one -- if so it's not freeware yet) but I'm sure there is a reason it isn't listed. I recall AndyG43 did some repaints for it.

[hschuit]

Steve, good to see it is solved, really weird that comma thing. Guess I owed you one for the splendid Alphasim Phantom repaints you did a while ago.

cheers, Henk.

Agreed, and the fact that it doesn't affect every system the same!

Owed! Sharing is a good thing!

[Duckie]

What a kick in the pants! Tip of the hat to all involved with this update.

[hschuit]

Edwin, it sounds like some of your livery texture folders still have the old C9F4vc7.bmp / C9F4vc7.bmp files. Either replace them with the new DDS files from the portover kit or alias them from a shared texture folder (see the enclosed guide Thumbnails and Texture Aliasing.pdf).

[DagR]

Good to see the old girl still flying ;-)

Ok all.

I have missed a great deal of what mods were created for the C9 Phantom, since began the thread many moons ago. I saw mention of a afterburner mod, but the link is dead.

Also, I saw mention of a update to modifications, but could not find a link to it.

Can someone please help me sort all of this out? Is there a update with all the mods incorporated? Just was the case with the multiple mods to the FS KBT, (which still confuses me); I am hoping to get the necessary files together for this Phantom.

I tried to stay current, but with all the moving activity from Fort Myers to Pensacola, it became impossible.

Thanks. NC
