Rob Richardson's DH.125 Jet Dragon - released

[Bjoern]

Improved upon my paints a bit. A bit more vibrance and new fonts for the registration numbers.





Currently going up for a photoshoot and planning to pack them up and ship them off to here and/or Flightsim.




Robert:
In case you take bug reports...

- The switch for the right generator also toggles the left one
- Three of the four fuel pump switches share a single clickspot. Is that supposed to be so.


Also, in case you want to make the side windows open upon clicking, tag them with these codes respecitvely:

Its always worth having a look at the "readme" when installing new models.
Therein you will find this little paragraph

"PLEASE NOTE; this is just my interpretation of this beautiful old aeroplane and is not accurate, many liberties have been taken with the cockpit layout and gauges to make it more FSX friendly.
I am well aware of the models shortcomings and many inaccuracies so, PLEASE, no complaints, just delete it from your hard drive if you don't like it."

[Bjoern]

Well, any chance for the source files, so I can do these edits on a personal level (i.e. for me, myself and I only)?

[lazarus]

What a sweet ride! Thank you Rob!
Srs.IB's are up at Rob's site, 2 models, with and with out ventral fin. Off to DL. Whew! Quite a week for new models. Don't know what to fly!

[StormILM]

Anyone else having an issue with the 1A/1B version tipping backwards just as the model finished loading up on the start of the flight? For me, it tips backwards then down on the nose wheel. No damage or crash detection.

take a look at contact points, and change this setting; static_cg_height=6.700 not 4.700
That should solve your problem

U.S. repaint for the 1B model!

[dvj]

Great and beautiful aircraft.
Thank's Rob.

WIP ...





Bernhard.

Hi, did this skin ever get released! It's a beauty!

[Killbilly]

U.S. repaint for the 1B model!

Very nice.

[milaircom]

Does anyone know if Rob has plans for an AI vers. of this, please?

[dvj]

[baernhard]

Hi, did this skin ever get released! It's a beauty!

Thanks, but your paints are also very pretty !
I wanted to wait for an official paint kit.
Then I'm sure, that Rob allowed other paints.

Bernhard.

[peterwatkins2]

Another U.S. example!

[pbearsailor]

Thanks for those N numbered paints Peter!

Great looking paints guys.

NICE, plane, Rob!! I REALLY appreciate the hard work and time that went into it!

Hi there!

At very first I want to say a bit "Thank you!" to Robert and all the additional repainters for that wonderful old British plane! : ) But I'd like to ask how to make the cockpit glass textures more glass-appealing? It's to me like there's no glass in the frames, I mean you can see it but just very little, way to clear as I like it. I don't know if this is appearing only to me, but I would be glad and thankful, if anyone could help me, how to change the required texture, to make it more "glassy" and reflective.



Best regards!
Elmar

P.S. By the way on the search of some shot of the HS./DH.125 I also found a old cutaway drawing which I want to share. You can find it on the following url:

[Bjoern]

Do anyone's engine RPM indicators work?


Thanks for the U.S. paints, Peter!



Panel.cfg entry for my weather radar. Disable the original gauge00= line in [VCockpit01] in the panel.cfg by prefixing it with "//" (without quotation marks) and add the lines below after it:

//gauge00=fa-18!MFD, 1, 1, 1,1,1
gauge01=wx_radar!wx_radar_debug, 50, 50, 412,412

[pbearsailor]

Do anyone's engine RPM indicators work?

Yes for me.

[Bjoern]

Yes for me.

Is this an out-of-the-box installation?

Not sure why they don't work for me. Something to do with my default flight, maybe.


- Edit:

Found the culprit. Disabling the F/A-18's MFD somehow breaks the indicators.

Changed radar installation instructions accordingly.



- Edit²:

My paints got uploaded to Flightsim. Someone hopefully finds some use for them.

[Chris Sykes]

Rob, thank you for a much needed add on! Are you planning on doing a Dominie T1 by any chance?

[robcarrich]

Hi there!

If I make the glass "glassy" I get complaints ,If I don't make it "glassy" I get complaints.
I don't like "glassy", the glass is just right for me, not too "glassy".

No T1 Chris, at least in the foreseeable future.
There are two on the go that I know of.

Thats clear and plane to see!

Ah thanks Rob thats a shame...

[Elmar]

I'm very sorry I didn't want to complain about the glass textures, it's just my taste of it. If you could share the info about the glass textures and how to manipulate them, I gladly like to do it on my own. I know a little about repainting in FS9 (alpha channels), but in FSX I guess there are some new ways in creating textures, spec maps and the whole stuff, I unfortunately don't know so far. So please, don't see it as a complaint, just as a little alternation.

Best regards,
Elmar
