Comet 4 fsx help.....

Post by coltsr2 »

Hi don't know if this question has been asked before but has anyone managed to get the amazing Comet 4 ''virtual cockpit'' from the brilliant ''David Maltby'' working in fsx with sp2 installed?

I just tried it and most of the vc is there just a few textures not working...all the gauges seem ok....i love this plane its just perfect... HELP

Hi Mate,

The comet isn't really design for FSX, but DM tried to make it work as best he could. There are some missing textures in the VC (The central console is the one I could see) and also the gear doors are reflective. This is to do with materials I believe. I'm not sure much can be done for the gear doors easily, but I'll have a look into the console texture and see what I can find. ;-)

Its a real shame cos Daves planes are so damn good! he's a real perfectionist and prob one of the best freeware modelers out there, i have got his Bac-111 running fine with full virtual cockpit complete with all textures in fsx with sp2 ( vc textures included with his panel download copied to main fsx folder!) .

The trident is like the comet i got the center console with all the main dials running and side panels and overhead consoles etc and its a shame all the individual panels are vis, just the missing textures uniting everything......could i just use some drab dark Grey textures to fill in the gaps by replacing the original ones with basic textures or am i barking up the wrong tree here? Anything would be better than see through textures lol....

My comet 4 looks perfect in vc mode with the main panel and all gauges displayed, its only until you pan around and the textures in the cabin are not working....I know in fairness Dave said only the Comet 4 is partially compatible with fsx and am not complaining, but like i said the Bac-111 is fully fsx sp2 compatible...and lovely it is too.

Anyway thanks for your input and thanks Dave for your beautiful planes..............
