Don't lie: Coast wave effects or part of the scenery addon? Looks stunning!

Yes the waves on the beach caught my eye as well - wondered if it was a static surf! Is the little red and cream biplane a WACO?

Static waves unfortunately but they look pretty good just the same.
Flying out of KEKA Murray Field at what looks to be low tide. (There's more mud flats than Western Port!)
The 'little red and cream biplane' is the GAS Fairchild KR-21A NC926V, another classic from those 'Old School' FS devs.

Thanks I thought that might be the case. In the meantime I have discovered that there are a few enterprising individual scenery folk who have utilised the functions in SODE to create storm waves and huge surfs and tie it to the wind speed. Problem is they have to create a SODE package basically for a very limited spot not a large geographic area. Heres some screens alas they are related to obscure rock formations or lighthouse in the UK but the process works just fine. Apparently it is painstaking process and got for special locations but not a big area.

Look for some zip files called: "ED, WOLF, PORT, DOV, FOLK, SODE.zip" and " shetland stormwaves.zip" over at AVSIM.

Seems there is more to this SODE application for the sim than just moving eye candy etc at airports. The Shetland one puts big waves and surf on a number of locations looks great actually and totally dynamic. Now to work out how to do it!

Thanks for that - Fairchild KR21 now on my shopping list!

HJG have great models but the good folks there seem a bit frozen in time using FS9 and 2D panels. I don't really know much yet about what I am doing but I was able to do this playing around with Model Converter X, which can covert FS9 models into native FSX or in this instance P3Dv4 models. You then need to tweak some animations. Some models have parts in very odd places and I have yet to learn how to deal with those.

Thanks Expat, that's a bit outside my experience level at this stage.

Bookman. I have the process sorted (to a point) but alas HJG would never agree to me or anybody else releasing these for general consumption. I have a shelf of Convair 880 manuals and Training Data (came via Cathay Pacific) so can now get down to putting some bones and data on this bird. A lot of beg borrow and steal went into this one as well - I think it is doable for those who have the bits and pieces but they are just not mine to hand out. So it is private use only and will have to stay that way. She is performing almost to book figures and you would never know the borrowed VC etc was not a Convair cockpit either.

Happy to steer folk in the right direction if they PM me!

Nice work getting that 880 to work in P3D. I have also now done the HJG 707-138B (for those classic long range BBJ missions that guzzle jet fuel) and the DM VC10 using the JF VC10 VC. Such a pretty model. Lots of searching for and editing stabilizer/elevator/trim tab animations to "0".

Time for a rest I think.

**BendyFlyer** · May 5th, 2022, 14:14

Agree - tried hard with the 707 but just could not get a VC to satisfy the Boeing look! Like the idea of the Maltby 10 with the JF VC.

***ToniJH*** · May 6th, 2022, 10:30

I made some modifications for Aeronca K, my own purposes only of course, replaced some gauges that did not work in P3D

This was one of my favorite GA airplane in FS2004.

**BendyFlyer** · May 6th, 2022, 14:46

Nice one - The beauty of P3D - you can still do this stuff and get all those great past models into the sim (Well nearly all a few do not make the grade alas)
