i have never been impressed with anyone doing
minor changes or small tweaks
and then re uploading, that stuff is done by helpers
if i have a tweak here share it, such as Rich and others
but it has been a long term gripe with me
been going on for years
just dont get me started
LOL

Have to agree with you there Henry. There's a few jokers at Simviation that excel in that practice.

Ian I reworked that prop bmp and saved as dds which I made availiable here, it was off the as release which is what was posted on Flightsim.com but apart from adding thumbnails was untouched, I just spent some time on the prop and canopy. FSX was not claimed by me just happens it works in FSX.

Those screenies were done with the prop I worked on, it seems his thumbnails were done in FS9 as there is no sign of black props.

Not sure what's going on with HD's prop then... Unless the two of you are using different archives of the aircraft?

I really appreciate Alphasim releasing models as freeware, but I'll be honest, I'm not at all impressed with anyone who adds a thumbnail - or even adds a couple of lines to aircraft.cfg - and releases a model as "FSX". It's not an FSX model and it never will be. It just so happens that a lot of FS9 models work pretty well in FSX!

Purely for my fancy, add a few paints, NOT my work, I got 2 packs of paints off Avsim, 1 of 4 paints and 1 of 6.
Add FSX catapult ability and tailhook another what if naval aircraft, ok no visible tailhook or folding wings but it is nice and at a good price

Sorry not very good with screenies

Say Rich.Where can those repaints be found. those are sweet!

Can somebody tell me simply how to get rid of the black props? Since there was no FSX version of the MB-5, you takes what's offered.

[Rich]

Helldiver, I posted a fix a few days ago, download that file and change the zip extension to dds and rename MB5BANDP.bmp to something else like
00 MB5BANDP.bmp as you can see in my screenies the prps are much better.

The txt did not get attached so trying again, seems it is over the limit for a txt file but it will accept a zip extension, same applies change the zip extension to dds.

3/7charlie, I got them off avsim.com some time ago unfortunately avsim is still down.

Henry, I only make available the bits I have done not the whole thing as in the case of the Force Feedback fix for Dave Garwoods first hunter release for Fs9, at the moment my time is taken up getting carrier planes to launch and trap properly, got a fair few done including the JF Sea Mosquito, and other taildraggers so they do'nt nose over when caught

Rich - You know what your doing but I don't know what your doing. What text are you talking about? What's dds?

[Rich]

Helldiver, download this file, it will arrive as MB5BANDP.zip change the zip bit to dds so you end up with MB5BANDP.dds put that file into your texture folders and rename the MB5BANDP.bmp that is there to
00 MB5BANDP.bmp

Henry, add this line to your light section with the lights on you should have a white light on the deck just in front of the aircraft this is the launch attachment point get this light in the carrier launch box, being patriotic I only use Ark Royal and the WIP HMS Victorious so no idea of what the default carriers look like, this is for Mosquito MkTR33 FSX model

light.3 = 3, 10.423, 0.0, -9.42, fx_navwhi //lug

replace the current tailhook section with this one adding the launch assistance bit at the same time
and hopefully it will work for you too,

[TailHook]
tailhook_length = 5
tailhook_position = -23, 0, -1
cable_force_adjust = 5.5

[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot =6.433, 0.0, -3.522
launch_bar_lug = 10.423, 0.0, -9.42

[Henry]

Well I did what you said Rich and the props disappeared.
So did he canopy, the exhaust and the landing gear, mains and tail wheel.
I'm not a software Guru. I can copy and paste. That's about the extent of it.
