F-101 Voodoo

***falcon409*** · August 3rd, 2010, 07:29

Here's another Century aircraft that gets less attention than the F-100, which I didn't think was possible, lol. I'm updating the repaints on the Alphasim version with larger texture sets and more detail. Comin' along pretty well so far and there are some nice "Walk-around" references to get ideas from also. I'm only doing the single seat version as that's the only one I kept out of the two variations that AS released.

I still have FS9 running because there's a handfull of models that don't port to FSX to my liking, but I really love to fly them. The Voodoo is one of them. Good work, Falcon.

I only kept the two seat version which was the one that Canada used as the CF-101. I then converted the gauges to run on FSX Acceleration.

Nice to see another Century Series rework. From memory it ports over quite well to acceleration and the only thing that I remember changing for some reason or other was the A/B effects, I believe that I slaved them to one of the IRIS F-4's.

Falcon, I assume that you will eventually upload the reworked textures to the SOH library. I guess many, including myself would love to have them when they are finished.

Regards,

I wouldn't say no to a F-101B...

A CF101B 'Hawk One Canada' (from CFB Comox) flying the FSX skies.

A couple more WIP shots. . . .I have the wings and fuel tanks to do and then a complete redo of the sheet metal area under the tail. . .between the two exhausts. The actual aircraft has a much more detailed appearance showing the sections of sheet metal and attaching screws, metal bands and rivets that should add quite a bit to the final look of the repaint.

Now that is one good looking voodoo.

Unfortunately this model will only fly in a simulation. The real one is permanently grounded!

I simply LOVE the Voodoo, ported her to FSX, did all the gauges, multiple camera-views (front and back)
Allmost the the only supersonic I fly.
One is here: http://www.aviationmuseum.eu/World/E...nik_Museum.htm

I visited the museum only for making nearly 100 detail photos of that bird.

Is this paint available? Would love to have it.

***falcon409*** · August 4th, 2010, 07:03

Wish I had one close enough to me that I could do the same CHB. The Voodoo would look great with a photoreal skin done for her. The best I can do is update the paint really.
Pretty close to being finished with this one paint. . .here is a shot of the texture file with the revised aft section (before and after).

are the guages different from the ones that came with it?

Repaint is by Pierre Lheureux. It is available from flightsim.com by doing a search for filename and searching for texthawk.zip or you could search for text and use Pierre's last name and you will find many other repaints that he did. Regards, Mike Mann
