    Firefly port-over

    Just uploaded to our library today is a brand new Fairey Firefly for Fs9 by our very own Fnerg. Of course I had to try it in FsX. Glass and prop alphas needed modifying and there is one gauge no functioning in FsX. In Fs9 it is brilliant and a great job of work. Here in FsX after the alpha mods...

    Brilliant Roger!!

    I just stumbled across the item as part of my regular troll through the most recent files, and then I had to see if there was mention of it here in FSX ... so glad it (mostly) works.

    Any chance of posting the fixed prop/glass textures? I absolutely love how good that looks. That would be so much appreciated.

    What gauge is n/s? Depending on what it is, maybe one could substitute something from another model's gauge set.

    This looks just fantastic - it truly is raining naval goodies this last week ...

    Hi DL it's just a quick and dirty fix but it makes it flyable. On the model with tanks there is an issue that I can't fix as yet.

    Sheesh Roger,

    The model's been out for a full 19 hours and you've still not got it sorted ...

    JUST KIDDING!!!

    That was really fast - thanks for posting so quickly. I'm watching the discussion over on the FS9 forum (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...-AS-5-and-Mk-6) for the small inevitable tweaks that are understandable with a new model (and Doug's first project, no less!!)

    Regardless, if where it's at today is as far as we can get it in FSX, we are all still most blessed by this gift.

    Thanks Doug and thanks Roger for the tweaks.

    DL

    Actually poor old Doug had an issue uploading the file and finally a couple of hours ago it was successfully uploaded...so there's a little more time needed to tweak yet
    If you've got Fs9 on your pc you might be able to see which gauge needs fettling.
