Afterburners on again......and that's just the HP.42

Ok I got bored this evening. I took the Vanguard and took off flew off then set the jets going, Concorde disappeared for a while (it's lights weren't working....) and the others caught up.

Aircraft on the ground



I couldn't get the undercarriage to retract or lights on this particular Vanguard in FSX, tried my joystick assigned button, "G" and the panel switch but no go.

Then couldn't get the jets any closer than this....... Might have another go tomorrow.


Concorde reappeared, I think it had diverted to Schipol then came back

Looks like you have an old version of the Vanguard too

[DarrenL]

It's the one off Rick's site - http://www.btinternet.com/~rick.piper/page_7.htm

Is the one on here newer?

Got those now thanks, but I've put back in the original 4blade1.bmp for the props as the new one made them look too solid in flight in FSX for me, images below.

New version that I downloaded with latest 4blade1.bmp that look too solid in flight. Can also see straight edges to the prop effect.


After I copied back the original 4blade1.bmp and how I now have it.




Nice work though

The edges could do with an alpha to trim them

The semi transparent disc is how they appeared in real life..not how they photograph on fim where a freeze or strobing effect makes individual blades visible.

A lot of folks think they should look like the bottom pic butin reality they should look like the first one.

I always like revisiting old threads when I have a solution to a problem.

I know why the Vanguard's undercarriage retract and lights weren't working on the above shots. Because I set everything up purely to do those shots I had plugged my joystick in after FSX was starting, when I do that I lose some controls. It needs to be plugged in before I start it.

Just in case anyone else is stupid like me.

Those look really good
