Classic British Flight Sim

Hi all, I am very close to completing my FSX Manchester 1970 revisted sim and require 1 last aircraft to complete its visitors. I am having issues with the British Eagle 1-11 304, and have been unable to get it to show up in FSX, using David Maltbys EGCC 60's airport.

The model is for FS2002, and I can see the smoke and hear it, but its invisible when its flying and taxiing around EGCC.

Is there any conversion that can be done to enable this aircraft to show up, or is this one I will have to do without?

I haven't been able to find any other repaints on this one (bac111ea.zip on FS.Com)

Cheers Chris

Looks like you've stumped a few of us, Chris! 28 views and no replies!
I know that FSX Acelleration with Dx10 on does odd things to older aircraft; I had one recently that only showed a few internal parts, no airframe, that was until I turned off the Dx10 preview.
Good luck! Someone will have the real answer.

You could try this. Chris:

....and then there's ModelconverterX, which does FS2004, but I don't know if it will handle FS2002 aircraft.

Thanks Airspeed, will give it a crack, otherwise I might have to learn to paint proper, and repaint a 400..... I have done some very basic repainting, but mainly changing rego numbers, so I now have Trident "1's" (RP*) with the SpeedJack tail with BEA fus logo (but it's using Davids Trident 2 model) as I haven't mastered a full repaint from a paintkit

Thanks for the link tho!

Cheers Chris

You could try Bjoerns FSX native conversions.

(Sorry, on my phone, don't have a link to hand.)

I knew that somebody would know more than me.
Here's the link to the 1-11 conversions by Bjoern, as mentioned by DaveG above:

Thanks for finding the link Mike.

Thanks for pointing out its existence, Dave.

Cheers chaps for the help and links! Still working on it with no luck getting it to show up yet. In the readme it says its a FS2000 file and it appears to be using the -200 series from Davids models. The download does come with its own "Model" folder,In the aircraft.cfg with just Model= as you would expect

I assume its using the -200 series, so installed it into the 200 folder and added it to the aircraft.cfg as "Model=200"...partial success as the model now shows up, but is all black

The orig textures are all 256 colours, so going to change those to 32bit bmps, like all the other 1-11s and see if that makes any difference

DX-10 isnt enabled on my sim for fsx

Will keep u updated :-)

Almost there. I converted all the 200s to FSX format courtesy of the last link. I tried using a hex editor to convert the model but not possible on that count. I then used the hex editor to open the new fsx .mdl file and noticed that all the paint titles (FUSE_1 etc) were the same for all the repaints I had. As the model was now there, but in black, I checked the file names of the eagle textures which didnt match!

Renamed the textures to the same naming convention as the others and presto..... learnt a little more today.



She's home at last!


Cheers Chris
