Z-137T for FsX

[kyrypust]

Hi everyone,
Zlin Z-137T for fsX now available at http://speed99.webhosting.klfree.net/class/witex/endownload.html
It's made using FsX SDK and works with acceleration.
Please anyone with SP1 let me know if all parts are visible, I heard about a problem with pilot's head and pedals and would like to have it confirmed.

cheers,
Vitek

Thank you, sir ! A most interesting-looking aircraft....downloading now..:typing:

[MCDesigns]

Nice work!!! :ernae::ernae::ernae:

[Boomer]

Very nice!

I must confess I never heard of this plane before.

But I like!:ernae::ernae::ernae:

[JT8D-9A]

Many thanks! I love interesting aircraft like that :applause::applause:

[6297J]

This is really excellent!! DX10 too! :woot:

[Roger]

Wonderful! Many thanks:ernae:

[Paularx]

Very nice - no issues with ruder-pedals or pilot head here:applause:

[Railrunner130]

Nice job!! It looks very well done. Ugly airplane though.

:ernae:

[Kiwikat]

Yay! Native! :kiss:

Hmm I seem to be missing gauges... :\

None of my cessna 208 gauges are showing in it. In fact I don't seem to have 208 gauges in my gauges folder... odd

EDIT: After copying the xml cab to my gauges folder it works fine. :ernae:

Just what it said in the readme:173go1:

[tigisfat]

YES!!!

Where's that cropduster thread form recently?

[Killbilly]

YES!!!

It was from me! This is like Christmas in April!! :woot:

Kyrypust, I can't thank you enough!!!!! :ernae::ernae::ernae:

[Kiwikat]

Just what it said in the readme:173go1:

readme...? What's that? :wave:

[Killbilly]

Man, I'm as happy as a pig in . . . well, you know what pigs roll around in. :applause:

[hey_moe]

Yea buddy :woot: nice job and she is fun to fly...tanks, Mike

[Killbilly]

I've already had her in the hangar with the paintbrush putting my own new registration numbers on her. She's ready to work the farms around my home town. Too much fun!

[Piglet]

Nice plane! Well done and great choice.

Easy now....:caked:

Hi Tim

What's about modelling that peculiar flying object from your avatar:wiggle:
Mike

[kyrypust]

So many kind words, thanks.
Might be interesting for you to know that this plane is actually an AI aircraft for Fs9:)
I thought it didn't look that bad, so I added some details, a vc and learned how to use fsX SDK.


Very nice - no issues with ruder-pedals or pilot head here:applause:
And are you running FsX sp1? I just learned about another headless case under sp1 setup. And it looks like it doesn't have glass with sp1 either.

PS. Piglet's avatar is another Czech made, as zlin is. :wavey:

[grunau_baby]

:applause: Great work!!! Another oddity for my hangar!

Alex

[Paularx]

Woops... Sorry, not SP1, I am running acceleration pack. Must learn to read questions better. Brilliant plane though :ernae:

[Paularx]

PS. Piglet's avatar is another Czech made, as zlin is. :wavey:

Yes, but Piglets' avatar uses something for house dusting, not cropdusting....:kilroy:

[jimjones]

Great plane. Flies nicely. Interesting bump mapping. Excellent textures. Pilot/Stick animations very good. Just plain fun to fly.:applause:

Many thanks!!!

[6297J]

:help:
Um, after an initial test late last night to see if the textures showed up under DX10 I installed again properly this morning and I seem to have deleted my C208B panel folder some time ago. As I understand it I can't extract it from the FSX DVD as you could with FS9. Is there any way someone could send me the gauge file or would that be illegal?

[scotsman]

@kyrypust: your Zlin is a very fine model - thanks a lot for your great work!

(but the winglets of the other Czech made one look even better - from my opinion:whistle:)

Check your PMs.


Also, upon the next fresh install of FSX, I suggest sacrificing some time and two DVD-Rs to make a FSX backup disk. Just zip up all the folders and burn them et voilà, you can easily recover overwritten/deleted default files.

You are a gentleman Bjoern, thank you :ernae:

I do have a 'complete' backup of FSX on my external hard drive including all the repaints and ski/tundra/payload variants I delete from the version on my PC to try and keep the weight down! Unfortunately I did the back up after I thought I had everything set up perfectly and had either deleted or renamed the panel folders of a lot of the default rubbish so they wouldn't show up amongst my available aircraft. I also thought the gauges for those would be in the main Gauges folder!

Thanks again :)

[lucas81]

Hiya Vitek,

Thanks for a cool plane. Finally something to fly over Tatra's :D

Lucas

[ryanbatc]

Anyone able to fly it at night? I don't see any gauge lights. The interior looks like it's supposed to be lit and it has NAV lights but no gauge lights

[6297J]

Anyone able to open a door?
Any door?
I hear a door/hatch opening somewhere but nothing visual.

I'm trapped with all those pesticide fumes :faint:

[d0mokun]

I found that too. I guess the doors just don't open.

[6297J]

Its ok, I broke a window :isadizzy:

[Bjoern]

"De rien", as a Frenchman would say. :d

[kyrypust]

:applause:
As a former AI aircraft, it doesn't have any animated exits. :redf:

I think that the aircraft is not certified for night flying, it would make sense as its only purpose is cropdusting, firefighting and glider towing.

[guzzi]

Great to see you have done the world's greatest towplane!!!. Can tow a fully ballasted open class glider weighing 1800lbs plus at over 1000fpm. You might find the article 'Hugarian tow Pilots interesting:-

Just having a bit of fun with paint (all personal fictional schemes just for variety). I love this plane. :kiss:

Not to worry Vitek - I'm enjoying it so much I don't even want to find an exit!

[mrpinga]

wow - great model
If anyones interested I've used walter fletcher sound and guages(same engine) - also derated the engine a bit as it has a bit too much grunt - also used walter fletcher specs.

What a great machine - can someone paint it kermit green?

[Killbilly]

With a few modifications, she's an excellent mud dumper.

[Killbilly]

What a great machine - can someone paint it kermit green?

Okay. Here's "Kermit". However, I don't have upload priviledges here. So, I'll try to submit it to another site and tell you where to get it. Or, you could PM me with your e-mail address, and I'll send it off to you as soon as I can. I hope it looks okay. (I put it in New Zealand registry based on your sig.)

[Slund]

Thanks you kindly for sharing this beautiful work. It's exactly what I have been looking for, a nimble, FSX native, fire fighting aircraft :ernae:

[Slund]

I couldn't resist adding a touch of paint

Does anyone know if a paintkit is in the works :typing:

a funny question :)

is it an hard job ?

Once you learn the basics, the modeling and texturing is easy. It's just a huge time consumer. I made that AI zlin in about 80 hours, and it took me about the same time to add details and virtual cockpit (I borrowed pilot from my other project). Then I released it in Fs9 format. The conversion to FsX took me something like 20hrs.
With albatros I am more precise and I work with more polygons and textures, so it results in 500+hrs spent so far.

It's all about time, not money or knowledge
