Mississippi Thunder 0 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I thought I read on one of the forums here that there was contemplation on doing the early style VC with no tape type ASI for the EE Lightning which we could then plug into any F.2 or earlier aircraft. Is this really a thing or did I imagine it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingman5 149 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hi all Well it's taken a while , but the all new model of the EE Lightning F2A is now ready at last . It has been included with the F6 model download so existing owners of the F6 can just redownload their purchase to get it. Time to dust off the bone dome, happy flying.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted November 29, 2021 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 29, 2021 It is for the EE Lightning F6, which is intended for FSX and P3D: https://www.aerosoft.com/en/flight-simulation/flight-simulator-x-steam/aircraft/1315/english-electric-lightning-f6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidA 6 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Thank you, is it available for download now or is it in the queue to be uploaded? My account only shows V2.02 as available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingman5 149 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The F6 and F2a are now compatible with FSX and P3D v4 and 5 ( the old F6 model was p3dv2 , but your original account download is still valid) and download is available now .

DavidA 6 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hi Dave, I've just logged into my aerosoft account. My Lightning download is in the older orders section. When I download and re-install the F6, I still get version 2.02, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the F.3 set been upgraded as well so the F.1 and F.2 use the early style VC without the tape type ASI/Machmeter or can we simply move stuff on our own? (The new cockpit took some getting used to as everything has to be switched on individually and some of the gauges were in places other than where I was used to. The gang switch in the later models really was a time saver!) Really excellent work on this series guys! (Also, the gang from over the pond just went home after two weeks of breathing some more life into XS422 in Mississippi.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingman5 149 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hi I'm afraid the F1a /F2 bonus model that came with the F3 is still only the exterior model I suppose you could replace the interior model with that from the new F2A , but you would also need to transfer over a lot of the textures and Panel folder stuff .... but it would still be wrong, the F1/2 had a black finish in the cockpit not grey, and the fuel gauges would be out, and the throttle boxes differ ( same style as the T5 R/H seat ) Cheers Dave R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda worked, but something went goofy with the interior model as some panels wouldn't show (although gauges and switches would). There was a giant black space around the HUD and left hand side of the panel like the texture had nothing to lay on. (I think I pulled all the interior textures over as it looked like the ones for the VC were all in the texture.common folder.) Anyway, the 2A interior looks suitably primitive compared to the more logical feeling layout of the later cockpit. I also like the 92sq paint job. I have built my Airfix F2 and F2A birds both in 92sq colors. One question though, how come the inlet blanks don't install on the F.6 or F.3/F.2/F.1A when I select cold and dark? All my other ones do this (as does the F2A after the update). Anyway, thanks for the EXCELLENT lightning series. XS422 is probably my most flown add on!

Post a screenshot so I can tell you witch one. The intake blank wasn't animated on the F3/F6 , but I figured the framerate was good enough for me to throw a few more polygons into the mix , so the T5 / F53 / F2A got the animated blank, pitot cover and ground locks etc. Cheers Dave R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
