EE Lightning?

**Railrunner130** · July 17th, 2010, 05:40

Is there an English Electric Lightning available for FSX? I recall UKMIL working on one, but I think it was axed. I think Alphasim and and Kazunori Ito each released FS9 (or FS2002) versions. But I don't believe any have been done in a while.

AFAIK, you are correct in everything you said above. (Can't say anything more. :salute

I think it was never Freeware but the elder Alpha-sam payware Flys well in FSX(Accel SP2) after some gauge tweaking

Thanks for the advise guys!

I just downloaded the Lightning from Alphasim. I probably have two or more copies buried away in the external hard drive hanger. But anyway...

Thunder- can you either post or send me a copy of your panel file? It looks really nice!

As requested

rename it to panel.cfg

Thanks!! I appreciate that!

Woops. Not working for me. Winzip says the folder is empty? Please look at it.

Did you ever manage to do a manual engine start?
Ctrl_e works fine but all I get when trying a manual start is a surging engine between 10 & 20%.

The Alphasim/Virtavia EE Lightning is now available in several shops for only $25, and that price includes all three packs!

Hi Roland,

WinZip Says the folder is empty so you can't extract the file.

I already have all three original Alphasim packages, but I thought I'd see of this was an upgrade.
Nope! Same old FS9 only package (with FS98 gauges) with a few T-birds added, waste of money.

I've already been six days playing with this and there are just a few irritating problems left that I hope to overcome in time.

Manual start procedure does not work in FSX because it looks like the engine start switches use XML gauges which are not compatible with FSX event ID's / variables.

XML gauges should be amenable to modifying (I already have for some items in the .cab). I think it's more likely the code in the air file.

I will persevere.

December last year, bazzar from Aeroplane Heaven suggested on this forum they might do one somewhere in the future. No updates since, keeping my fingers crossed...
