Terrific work on the texture conversions, GreyEagle. Thank you!

My Pleasure. Trying to resurrect the older textures for the new V3 P3. Great photo you got there.

It's a new Native version of the KBT P-3C. It's a public beta at this point and I'm not totally sure what changes will be in the release package. So far, it's performing nicely.

I am enclosing file fix to VXE-8 "World Traveler"


this fix will correct rear engine exhaust view which shows yellow, as illustrated below:

Just down load fix here and replace zipped replacement file in the texture.taz folder

http://www.mediafire.com/download/wt...exture_TAZ.zip


Also use same file above to correct the texture.NRL2 : (Place same zip file above in texture.NRL2)



This one file will take care two birds with one stone (FILE)

If you have not incorporated the corrected files then,
I have re uploaded the basic files (VXE8 and NRL2) with the updated/corrected file already incorporated. Just re download and override the the older zip file and reinstall over
what was previously installed.


corrected VXE8 here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...3&linkid=18170

Hello everyone,

I just belatedly raise a little problem on the texture VP-6, modified by gray eagle!
Yellow color to the nozzles!

Thank you for your help

Edit:


I have re-uploaded the the entire corrected VP6 file and if you have not completed the fix (above) then
you can re-download the corrected file and just up zip it over your previously installed textures for VP6.

Thanks Storm,

if it's public I don't suppose you have a link to download the model do you?

Cheers,

Many thanks Gray Eagle.

Why can some of you operate the air stair and I cannot? The door switch in the 2d pop up opens the door (as does Shift + E) but the stairs door does not move for me. What's the trick?

[gray eagle]

Converted VP-45 Pelicans for use with V3 of KBT P3 Orion. I corrected the tail letters on right side that were in reverse. I think this squadron has or will soon
transition to the new P-8 Poseidon.

There is a serious issue with the textures of the EP-3. It appears there is an Alpha layer issue or possibly missing textures? The textures of the two models I just downloaded look nothing like the EP-3's in the above screen

[Navy Chief]

Gray Eagle, I really like that VP-45 paint! And your screenshots are awesome! The one of the aircraft landing is so cool.

Am hopeful the texture issues will be resolved with the EP-3E soon. But then, I gathered from KBT's post that it is a beta release?

Do you restore it by the reactivation of FS or the re-selection of the aircraft, and the reload of the flight?
The possibility that you have failed in some reeditions because of texture CFG?
Does the load hang in FS in Scenery date etc?

[flewpastu]

Does anyone know if there is gonna be a proper p3 panel in the future ?Bill

Working just fine here. Be sure you copy over from your P-3 files the "texture.common" and "texture.USNavy_common" folders. The EP-3E paints call for these in the texture.cfg in each of the two paint folders.

. . I still can't get the air stair to work. Can others confirm the indicated button for this is working for them? My button does not toggle and the stairs don't unfold. The button for the door works as it should.

The air stair switch of the 2D panel does not have a function. I choose shift+E2 for the moment to move a air stair. This shift+E2 is unstable.


Incidentally, a nose camera appears before a center gear by pushing ctrl+W.


I can want to operate these two animations from VC in the future.

I can see them fine too; BTW if you already have the basic KBT V3 P3 installed, is it necessary to copy over those texture files to the EP3? Seems like if the texture.cfg will find them if you
have previously installed the P3. I didn't do any texture copying and everything seems Okie dokie.

[gray eagle]

Awesome Possum

BTW, The props spin way too long on shut down. Here is remedy for that. (Also applicable to the V3 P3 as well)
[propeller]
thrust_scalar=1.200
propeller_type=0
propeller_diameter=12.750
propeller_blades=4
propeller_moi=8.5 <<<<< this was 24.00 (Way to high; causes excessive prop spin on shut down.

SH indeed! See you have the airstair working too. I have learned and know the Shift+E 2 technique - sometimes hit or miss - to open the twin canopies on the AS F-4, for example, but no matter how I do it it just opens and closes the door . .

As soon as I hit Shift + E then go for the 1/2/3 keys and it almost always works.

what am I missing here?

Yikes, it looks like for what ever reason, some of the bmp files are not loading properly. I suppose you tried to reinstall it.....
Are you in DXT10? I don't use it, I could, but don't. If KBT is monitoring this, maybe they can advise you. All I can say is reinstall it.
