Iris F-15, MiG-29 now freeware?

[RL_201]

I was just over at Ukmil when I noticed a new post about Iris Simulations. It seems quite a few of their payware products will now be freeware, including the P-40, both the F-15 and F-15E Strike Eagle, and both the Mig-29 & Mig-29K. The list is here: http://www.irissimulations.com/the-hangar.php

Not that it's on the freeware list, but didn't Iris initially put out a F-14 package for FS2004??? :confused:

[Naismith]

:wavey:

I don't see an issue here, it has happened to me several tiimes. I may be a bit peeved had I bought one of these recently but in actuality they are all quite old models now and I daresay that IRIS sales figures of them justifies their decision. I for one think it is a very generous gesture, some commercial companies out there could do well to follow the example. Alphasim is just about the only other company which I can think of which acts in a similar fashion.

Correct Naismith, I don't see any of those being a "Hey I just bought that and now it's freeware" concern. As you mentioned, they're all relatively old models by IRIS's current standards and I look forward to picking up a few of them to port over to FSX. Thanks to David and Karen for the gesture!!:salute:

[arrowmaker]

Alphasim is just about the only other company which I can think of which acts in a similar fashion.

Aeroplane Heaven are another developer who also release a lot of their older stuff as freeware.

This is extremely generous of David and co. A lot of nice models in the list. Hopefully they will be downloadable quite soon.

Which is why they haven't been 'in stock' at Simmarket for quite some time now.

Yeah!

That's true!

[modelr]

Bill and Lynn Lyons also put their stuff out as freeware. There are quite a few who just abandoned their works without releasing an unlock code, making their software useless to those of us who paid for them. Case in point, Flight-Factory Simulations RV-7. Most of the gauges are useless/missing, because they had to be activated through the FFS website.

I for one thank all the companies that release their work as freeware, once they have paid their way. I do have a lot of payware items that have gone freeware, and have no complaints.

[nigel allen]

True
I did last month buy the p40 so! some of the companys do that it very nice of them let older model's go free even if you paid before its nice to know that they paid for them selves so the company can invest in making even better planes

so i for one do not grump about they let them free its means they let others out and help people who would like them but with this money short problem helps them enjoy which they could not get and another thing is some times your get surprizes

nigel

[PilatusTurbo]

Well, this is quite a deal! My Military Hangar is going to literally double in size! I always wanted a few of these ships, but never really could justify trying to afford them. They'll be great additions!

I've had a few of my payware go free, and it really didn't bug me. It's nice that they do at least do this after some time, so everyone can enjoy them. Too bad all companies don't do something along these lines. :d

[Clarke123]

Good things come to cheapskates (like me) that wait :jump:

[MaddogK]

... and they are excellent ... :wavey:

I disagree, planes without cockpits shouldn't be charged for. I paid, flew once, then erased the p-40 pack, I won't buy an Iris product again.

[awj112]

Not that it's on the freeware list, but didn't Iris initially put out a F-14 package for FS2004??? :confused:

They did. Along with 2 F-4s, the T-6, and the PC-9. I speculate the reason the F-14, PC-9, and T-6 aren't there are to avoid confusion with the FSX models. Kind of a shame though. I am puzzled about the absence of the F-4s though.

I purchased several of these and I can't say I am "bothered" about it. Now if I had just purchased one the day before they actually show up, I would be upset.

The downside is that it looks like this is the final goodbye to FS2004 from Iris. Only RazBam and Iris appear to have completely abandoned FS2004.

Noted on Facebook that David Brice had made comments about the state some of the aircraft were in when released so there can be an upside to the releases as well.

[awj112]

I disagree, planes without cockpits shouldn't be charged for. I paid, flew once, then erased the p-40 pack, I won't buy an Iris product again.

Well, if you stick with FS2004 it does not look like this will be an issue any more. :D

[foo_fighter]

Now I can play more "what if" textures with some of `em yuuupiiiiie!:wiggle::jump:

[MaddogK]

Well, if you stick with FS2004 it does not look like this will be an issue any more. :D

Ahh the old 'it's newer, so it's better' argument.

[Sundog]

I have most of those already. My favorite of them all has to be the MiG-27 with the photo real textures. I forgot the name of the guy who made those great textures, but he also made some for the MiG-29 and probably the rest of those planes as well. But the Iris planes I have flown the most are their T-6/PC-7, F-14, and MiG-27.

I think it's great that they release this stuff as freeware. Hell, that's how DSB started. I keep meaning to make some freeware planes for the community, but RL keeps getting in the way.

[awj112]

Yago 9. I think he got blacklisted here (and from what I gather, just about everywhere else from what I hear). Kind of sad, love his work.

[awj112]

Ahh the old 'it's newer, so it's better' argument.

Yep, David drank the kool-aid and asked for seconds.

[OBIO]

I have a few of the IRIS/former DSB freeware planes..the A-7E, S-3, Tornado. I enjoy flying them a lot. There are a few things here and there that bugged me about the packages, but nothing that I could not fix on my own....but that is part of the fun of flight simming....tweaking planes to your personal taste. I look forward to adding a few more IRIS freeware goodies to my collection.

OBIO

[Naismith]

If my memory serves me well, did IRIS not release 2 or 3 free a/c some time back in a limited way i.e. only only a few people got them but were free to pass them on to friends but not allowed to upload to sites such as here, Avsim etc...
I wonder if any of these releases include those?

[Ferry_vO]

That was the vRAF Buccaneer/Phantom pack, Naismith. Decent models at the time, but I wouldn't bother with those anymore these days especially since they both lack a VC.

[Ferry_vO]

I disagree, planes without cockpits shouldn't be charged for. I paid, flew once, then erased the p-40 pack, I won't buy an Iris product again.

:confused:

AFAIK their P-40's did have a VC?

[awj112]

:confused:

AFAIK their P-40's did have a VC?

I thought so. Didn't come with a 2D panel. Mig-29s are like that too.

[Dangerousdave26]

I just purchased the P-40 from the FSPilot shop two weeks ago. I was wondering why everything was half price. Maybe they knew....

Ah well it does not matter it is a fine product.

[Naismith]

That was the vRAF Buccaneer/Phantom pack, Naismith. Decent models at the time, but I wouldn't bother with those anymore these days especially since they both lack a VC.

Thanks, did not realise the lack of VC in those, still - a good Bucc would be a welcome addition.

[MaddogK]

:confused:

AFAIK their P-40's did have a VC?

Ya, the VC was nice but had no click spots, and was so small you couldn't read the gauges. Waste of 20 bucks when some freeware P-40's were just as good, but had working pits, and 2d panels.

[Blackbird686]

Nice of Dave and his lot to be releasing the F-15 and the F-15E, I have the original DSB Essential F-15. When I got it, I loved it and still do, albeit a bit dated as far as FS9 models are today. In its day tho... it was one of the best.

BB686:USA-flag:

[Flyboy208]

Personally, I am happy with this news. I purchased the F-14 and MiG-29 a while back, but lost them in a former PC crash. Always wanted to purchase the Harrier, but it was not available for whatever reason. Liking the idea of having a proper Strike Eagle in my FS arsenal. So I will be able to recover some former purchases and then more ...


I think it's good when FS aircraft payware developers give us a nice freebie now and then once their products become a bit dated. Quite a nice gesture I think ...

I wish IRIS all the best, great company with a positive customer service experience on my end, and of course the privilege I had BETA testing the T-6A Texan II.

Mike :salute:

[Motormouse]

Thanks, did not realise the lack of VC in those, still - a good Bucc would be a welcome addition.

Speaking as someone who had a bit of experience with the real one, the DSB Bucc (VC or no)
is still the best model around; (although UK_mil may disagree)
of an S.2A version.

Hi Pete
I notice your address is Rhoose and you have a liking for Buccaneers. I can only presume you worked on them at St. Athan, in 75 hanger i presume? I did a stint on 208Sqn at Honnington but i still work at St. Athan on the VC 10's.

Yes, I have the Q-ABC-A certificate at home....
I was unlucky enough to be posted to 208 while the Buccs were grounded; so,initially 'held' on Canberra majors at St Athan then ended up as part of the travelling reclaimation team, making one 'good' Bucc out of two....before finally getting to Honington late 1982,...(via a spell putting Harriers to rights for a certain little war)
I'd tell you a little more via pm but yours is switched off....

Oh yeah, I forgot about their Harrier. I have that installed, along with Yago9's textures. But I haven't flown it much, because I haven't been able to get Rob Baregndts(sp?) hover gauges to work since I've had windows 7.

@paul day: I have a lot of Yago 9's work. If Sim-outhouse does not have rules against, I can provide to them to reupload. Mods? Any objections?

[Tom Clayton]

If you check the upload terms, you need permission from the original author. Meanwhile, there's nothing to stop passing the files via email, which is best discussed via PM to keep the harvesters from spamming your inbox.

I can understand why you haven't flown it much if you weren't able to get my VTOL package working :jump:, but I would be very curious to find out why it wouldn't work on your system.
As far as I know (can someone confirm please ??) my VTOL addons for Harriers, V22's, and alike, works just fine on Windows7 systems.

No, I have that package you are talking about. They were old F-4 and Buccaneer models. RAF collection.

The Bucc ain't bad.....considering it were made for on-line multi-player environment.

I didn't know that - his paintjobs are still available here.

I don't think the links were taken down although most if not all are dead. He just either cannot or will not post new paints here. Some kind of falling out.

Dead links are probably library change related.

FREEWARE FILES ARE ONLINE!!! :d Go Get 'em! I just dl'd F-15, F-14, P-40, MiG-29, and will get the Tornado Pack!

This is one of the coolest things I've seen for along time, because every single aircraft I mentioned above I used to have a decent FS2002 version, and haven't had them since. The P-40 and F-15, yes, but the others, no. Great Gesture, David! :ernae:

And therefore the Buccaneers? But that's ok I've got those http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/images/icons/icon26.gif

The Bucc/Toom pack was only distributed through IRIS (DSB at the time) for the vRAF, so IRIS can't release those as freeware since they do not own it.

Just got the last two missing IRIS aircraft, the P-40 and the EAP.

Thanks David & Co!

It's the hud gauge. It ways heavy on older, mid level pc's. I removed it on the f15c just to give it a try and it did the trick. Just sucks not having a functional hud now.

Open the panel config file and scroll down through the list of gauges used. When you find the one for with HUD in the name put a // (double slash key) in front of the line. That will cause the sim not to run that gauge.

[CG_1976]

Anyone notice on the EAP that its flight dynamics is Squirrelly? I have a serious Taxi issue and a sluggish turn bank rate.

[RL_201]

CG_1976;
I think the word "squirrelly" is putting it nicely. I know when I bought the EAP, I contacted Iris about the taxi problem. Their answer, slow down while I taxi. I slowed down, same problem. the plane flips, turns, bounces up into the air. I also wish they had installed some sort of reverser (like on the Tornado, Eurofighter) to help you slow down once you have landed.

[Txmmy83]

taxi with the EAP is bit hard but I see no issue there

[RKinkor]

Does anybody know how to fix the throttle on the F-15E being stuck wide open in FSX? The C model throttle is ok. Other than some gauge isues and some black canopies they seem to work quite well in FSX.

taxi with the EAP is bit hard but I see no issue there


BR
Tom

Same here, I have no issues with the EAP while taxiing.
It actually reminds me of the EF2000 simulator, where you had to be very carefull for turning on the ground: if you were too optimistic with your taxi speed, the plane would flip and crash.

[Daube]

Does anybody know how to fix the throttle on the F-15E being stuck wide open in FSX? The C model throttle is ok. Other than some gauge isues and some black canopies they seem to work quite well in FSX.
You have to deactivate the afterburner FDC gauge in the panel.cfg.

[RKinkor]

Thanks Daube,I assume you can just // it to deactivate?

[foo_fighter]

Hey guys, just a small question, IRIS MIG-29K would be free too??

[awj112]

Here's the page;

http://www.irissimulations.com/product-classics-mig29.php

check the screen shots. Where twp very similar aircraft were sold seperately, Iris combined them into either "super packs" or simply combined them. So yes, the Mig-29K is free as well. It's part of the Mig-29 package.

[Daube]

Thanks Daube,I assume you can just // it to deactivate?
Absolutely.
And if you take a look into the panel.cfg of the F-15 (not strike eagle), you'll notice it's already done there.

[RKinkor]

Absolutely.
And if you take a look into the panel.cfg of the F-15 (not strike eagle), you'll notice it's already done there.

The F-5 pack is pretty good- still missing click-spots on the 3d panel, but it's got a functional 2d panel (less A/P and most of the usual nav gauges). Will be a nice addition after some tweeking.

[Fauville]

Yep - same here!
Haven't tried out higher altitudes yet, maybe she doesn't like thicker air?

Hi,

About the P40 serie ....
Here no flutter problems but instead big problems on ground .. (braking pratically impossible as plane turned over ..)
So as not happy I made some corrections (fuel quantity also involved) for the main gear position and the toe brake scalar (it's no possible to go over 3 in my setting .. or plane turn over again ..)

Modifications contact points here: (that's for the P40-E but must begood for the other types !)

point.0 = 1, -18.1, 0, -2.6, 3500, 0, 0.52, 60, 0.2, 3.5, 0.59, 3, 3, 0, 0, 180
point.1 = 1, 3, -4, -7.4, 3500, 1, 1.25, 0, 0.5, 1.1, 0.75, 8, 8, 2, 0, 180

Modification brake scalar:

[brakes]
parking_brake = 1 //Parking brake available
toe_brakes_scale = 0.3 //Brake scalar
differential_braking_scale =0.5 //Delta on the amount of brake when the rudder pedals deflected

The F-5 pack is pretty good- still missing click-spots on the 3d panel, but it's got a functional 2d panel (less A/P and most of the usual nav gauges). Will be a nice addition after some tweeking.

Isra (of recently released Mirage III); did a very nice panel upgrade for the F-5;
and Markus Schindler has done some fine repaints.

My old system has problems with some of these planes. The EAP package and F-15 packages really hammer my frame rates. My sim is locked at 25 FPS with all detail sliders on full (other than visibility/draw distance or what ever it's called). With the EAP and F-15 packages, my system drags along at 8 to 12 FPS..even with the HUD gauges deactivated. The F-14 drops my frame rates by 3 to 5 FPS....livable...and that is with the HUD in place. The A-7, S-3, Tornado....I get full frame rates. Haven't really checked out the Mig-29 yet. I have all the packages downloaded and archived onto a DVD for safe keeping. Maybe in a couple years I will be able to put together a more powerful system that will handle these packages better.

Ya don't by chance have a working link to Isra's V2 panel for the F5 ?? Appears he pulled down the V2 because the V3 is due shortly. Not sure I can wait....

Didn't know that..I did get a copy tho. The INS is a real piece of art but I'm having a bit of trouble with it outside of Europe. MUCH more than just eye candy, V3 should keep me busy for months.

Hi, the screens of these airfields look very nice indeed but the sites in German and i cant figure how to download them, im assuming they are password protected, but im not sure how to sign up for one, any help.
cheers ian

[Wild Bill Kelso]

They claim:
"Wenn ihr uns anschreibt bekommt ihr ein Passwort zugeschickt.
Mit diesen Passwort habt ihr dann die Möglichkeit diese Sachen
zu laden. Achtung: Es sind noch nicht alle Sachen zum Dowload
verfügbar, da wir noch einige davon überarbeiten müssen."

This means that you'll have to send them an email to the address mentioned to obtain a password.
Once the password is received, you may download by using the <click> button.
Not all of the sceneries mentioned are currently available.
They recommend using the Firefox browser to download.

Quite odd way to offer freeware sceneries, isn't it?

Cheers,
Markus.

[ian elliot]

Well, ive fired them off an e-mail, my Germans a bit rusty:kilroy:, now i'll wait and see what happens.

Can anyone give me the .cfg mods to add the RCBCO carrier gauges to the F-14?

[oak666]

I'm having loads of fun with the free stuff from IRIS and Alphasim. I love the EAPs. Can someone tell me how to easily add the ability to use the autopilot with these planes? Like the autopilot button seems to work, and the radios, but you can't toggle the alt, speed, course, and heading values. Or atleast I haven't been able to.

*Edit. I just noticed the F-14 has the option to use the 'default radio panel', which is kinda what i was after. Is there a way to add the ability to use that in the other IRIS planes, or any planes without autopilot?

*Edit 2. After exploring some more i noticed the IFR panel in the EAP, and the buttons for the autopilot work there.
:icon_lol: So everything is OK. Haha, should have read the manual.

[Clarke123]

The word is that the phantoms are to be released soon :applause:

[OBIO]

I am looking forward to the Phantoms becoming freeware like a kid looking forward to Christmas, Easter and Summer Vacation all rolled into one big weekend. I hope the Phantom is frame rate friendly...the IRIS F-15 and EAP/Typhoon kill my frame rates, the F-5 somewhat but not as bad.

try swapping out the HUD's i use the FSKBT F/A-18 HUD in mine and if i recall it did improve my performance, others i know use the Coral F-15HUD which i think offers further gains... if i recall right the HUD is the main killer..

[Z-claudius24]

Hi,


The word is that the phantoms are to be released soonAbout Phantoms .. you can't beat Cloud 9 model :)
And it's not HU of a freeware release :mix-smi:

[awj112]

But of the non-Cloud9 F-4s, I think the Iris F-4s may have a slight edge in quality over the Alphasim F-4s. My opinion of course lest I start a blood feud.

IRIS Bandwidth exceeded
Sunday, 30th May, 2010
Due in large part to the success and downloads of the newly available IRIS Classics range, portions of the IRIS Server have exceeded their bandwidth.
This includes the forum, support center, IRIS files including hotfixes and classics products.
Unfortunately these sections will not be available until about the 13th of June when our montly allocation resets.
For support during this time, please either contact our support directly via Skype or MSN from the 'Contact Us' page above or e-mail us direct at admin@irissimulations.com
To ensure this issue does not happen again, all IRIS Classics products will be disabled for the month if bandwidth threatens to exceed our montly limits.

[Sundog]

Is there a reason they don't just upload them to AVSIM, Flightsim, SOH, etc? I just mean, that frees them of the bandwidth limit, that's all.

[Z-claudius24]

Hi,

Indeed ... but why make simple when it's possible to complicate all ? http://www.getsmile.com/emoticons/smileys-91853/8/superbiggrin.gif

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Maybe they just want to maintain control about how to get access to their models?
It's a commercial product after all, even when it's given for free...

[Clarke123]

It's hardly controlling access when anyone can just roll up and download it, no registering, no nuthin'. After all Alphasim just plonked theirs on avsim and had done with it, no problems. Keeping it on site or uploading to avsim ammount to the same thing where access is concerned. Once it's in the hands of the community the only control they retain is the copyright and that 99.9% of us honour such things as permission and intellectual property. Stick it on avsim and you won't have a crippled website, it aint rocket science.

Your 'trash' looks fine to me!I'd like to get a copy of it if you don't mind.I did find a Bitburg paint for it on another site last year but the download was broken.

Bitburg paint looks good, I'm just finalising a few things then i start on the F-15's from the Ace Combat games, me and Andy Nott alread did 'Cipher' and 'pixy' from Ace Combat Zero but they're gonna get updated... also going to updaye the paintkit a bit... going to be a long couple of days... :wavey:
