Classic British Flight Sim

Hi,

I am trying out aircraft from F9 over to FSX and thought i would share these,





Simshed Wessex





SG Sunderland, Great reflections.

Thanks for looking,

Roger.

Nice shots Roger

The Wessex flies a treat in FSX.. the only prob being the rotor blur which I find goes a bit odd depending on what's behind it. This is a common prob with portovers though and certainly not unique to the Wessex

Hi Dave,

I am finding these things out and although i don't find it a problem, its the gauges in some aircraft not working, it would be great to have them working in the Alphasim Lynx, strange as they work fine in the Wessex and the Sea King,

Still i'm enjoying the sim thats the main thing!

Roger.

Hi Rog'

You mention the Alpha Lynx and that is worse than the Wessex.. the glass being buggered too. Shame as the Navy Lynx was a good looking model. If anyone has a fix for it.. feel free to post

Lot of old gauges are "FS98" type, which are not compatible with FSX, although they work fine in FS9. Quite a lot of Alphasim models used them. Only thing you can do is swap them out for a compatible version.

The Alpha Seaking is a beaut in FSX:

Is that the FS9 model ported over George? I have the FSX version which is, as you say, a nice model http://www.cbfsim.co.uk/cbfs_bb/viewtop ... 3&start=20

Hmm,

It is the freeware FS9 version according to the readme.

However, the payware FS9 Lynxes do have a glass problem when viewed from outside.

Hi Chaps,

Well i don't know why it did not work earlier when i tried it but i have just taken the gauges out of the Alpha Sea King and put them into the Alpha Lynx and they are working ok,

I will get them moved more into place tomorrow on the Lynx panel and that will solve that!!


Thanks for the help lads,

Roger.

Hi,

No photos but i have been swapping some dials around in the cockpit and at least i have them working now in the Alphasim Lynx AH7 v2 in FSX, don't forget you need to have the Alphasim SeaKing installed as i have taken the dials from this Helo.

Its not perfect as i am not a programmer but they are enough for me to fly in the VC better than having to use Shift-Z, i can't get the instruments lit up at nite but its ok Dusk/Dawn and i also have no idea how to get the glass showing in the outside view! perhaps there is someone out there who may know how to do it!

Dials are, VSI/Altitude/Attitude/Airspeed/Torque and Radar Altimeter.

PLEASE Back up your Panel CFG somewhere safe if you want to try this,
