What's that plane? Looks nice.
Cheers, Mav

Thank you!

This is the Aero L-159, B Variant. Extensive cockpit modifications by KB7 Systems Integration. And it features the brand new COMMASTER communications control interface by KB7 Avionics. Developed specifically for this plane, but will install to any plane with Comms enabled, it interfaces with the headless radios/transponder already installed elsewhere in your plane. No more six Collins boxes in a cramped cockpit for me!

I developed the instrumentation layout from a Google Images photo search for L-159 cockpit that I now suspect is actually some other light trainer/fighter because of its uniqueness... but too late! I took the Primus EICAS and MFD displays out of the Citation X and modded them for single-engine (and no working Hydraulics) and reworked the MFD so it shows pips and bearings of radio and is now completely independent of Nasal or other connections outside its directory. (No TCAS or VOR displays.... but it can now be ported from plane to plane with just a single directory copy and should be less heavy to run.)

If I can make it, I'll fly the F-15D.

Correction to flightplan as listed... waypoint TYROD does not exist in Flightgear. Substituting VIEEW is acceptable, as it is close and they're both points along the Q82 corridor.

It is also interesting to note that the BLZZR departure is very shallow. The order per the chart is be below 5000' at BLZZR. The point (straight as the crow flies, 35.4 NM) at 250 knot yields only 588 fpm to get to that. Many of the exits have speed restrictions of 210 until at 520 MSL, but still.

I predict much breaking of the law.... Who can't resist a maximum attitude takeoff in a fighter?

we'll get a military-grade authorization for that climb

Discovered this while loading KDSM to avoid terrasync crashing. At KDSM, in the standard scenery on Runway 05/23, there is an anomaly on the runway at taxi point P6 (first possible turnoff when landing on 05,) a black triangle cutting the runway. No idea if it is fatal or not, it may just be a spot of undefined texture. I may try it later. It may be possible to touch down just past it and still stop, but I wouldn't want to try it. I'd be more comfortable being able to stop in time landing on the 23 side. Or you've got all of lovely 13/31.... which is exactly the same length.

I still have to see, whether mp works on her and I want the color smoke repaired. That is, maybe Swamp and David can check on the mp livery whether it works for you. I am busy for the next hours, but maybe can grind out some hours to work on her again later today. Can someone keep me in the loop, if you test her?

Are you talking about Dave Culp or Dr. David? Dave Culp is not available a lot. You have to tell me. What is wrong with the colored smoke? I will load it up and try to see what your talking about. Maybe one of the OPRF guys can load up with me.

I tested the livery with KB7, it works fine and so does the exhaust smoke. As far as the colored smoke is concerned what I added in my repository is not there. I see you have added a white smoke file but I see no binding to it. If you want colored smoke send me a PM and I will fork and make it.

[HOM001]

I will try to make it, but it is unlikely. I am drowning in work right now. Cyall in January, probably.
