  1. Canadian Livery for X-Plane 10 King Air C90B

    By audiotracker

    I like to fly this alot, so I created a "fictional" Canadian livery for it. The registration is correct, but the paint job isn't. Added new registration letters on the cockpit panel as well, but Xplane-10 ATC still calls it by the default American call sign.....Not sure how to change that. Added tail lighting as well.
    Just unzip and drop the livery folder into the King air folder and it should be good to go

    HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
    -------------------------
    Fast CPU (Multi core recommended)
    Fast GPU (1 Gb vram minimum)
    Large screen (minimum 1920 px wide, 2048 px or more recommended)
    X-Plane 10 running at 64 Bit mandatory for smoothness
    This panel might not be compatible with some SAITEK products including SWITCH PANEL, RADIO PANEL, THROTTLE QUADRANT, TPM.
    The SAITEK Yoke System is ok. Some simmers reported no problem using some of them though. Give a try and report any problem.
    For trouble free operation, user should only use mouse to actuate knob and lever.
    --------------
    INSTALLATION
    --------------
    Unzip the file «C172SP_WidePanel_C.zip» and copy the extracted content into your .../Aircraft/General Aviation folder.
    For maximum experience copy, one by one, the provided «Resources files» into their corresponding X-Plane «Resources folder» (don’t forget to make a copy of the original files in case of problem).
    I recommend the usage of the excellent plugin X-Hobb (http://forums.x-plan...&showfile=11770).
    Enjoy!
    Be sure to check the ReadMe file included in this archive for more details.

    ----------------
    Project entirely developed in Plane Maker (no plugin involve yet)
    Match the specifications of the C172SP model modified for training purpose like a P model (160 HP, carburated, 30° max flap setting)
    A fuel injected, 180 HP with HSI version will be released later, depending how the current release is received
    Custom HD panel 2048 x 1840 pixel (implemented into the stock C172 from X-PLANE/www.dmax.it)
    (2D version only / 3D cockpit disabled)
    Day and Night textures
    Custom livery
    Custom sounds (Engine/Prop, Ground roll and contact, Skid, Ignition/Starter, Master/Avionics Switches, Primer, Breakers, Key set, Autopilot warn, Trim wheel, Flaps, Rain and Wind)
    --------
    WARNING
    --------
    This project required hundreds of hours of labor and thinking to make it as close as possible to the real thing. I pushed to the limit the hacking concept of X-Plane in many ways, using wrong dataref to trigger actions and instruments. The electrical system for example is highly customized to bypass some strange behaviours found initially in the coding of X-Plane. Due to the complexity of this project (just open it to see by yourself) DO NOT ATTEMP to modify the «.acf» file provided. Doing so is at your own risk. Keep the original ZIP file for backup purpose.

  3. MX Aircraft 2

    By brent123

    Hello!
    It's been almost half of a year since I released the Cassutt Racer. It's time for something new! It's time for... MX Aircraft 2!
    From Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia:
    The MX2 was based on the Giles G-202 aerobatic trainer, the first prototype was a modified G-202 and first flew in May 2002. The first aircraft of the initial production batch of five first flew in May 2005. The MX2 is a carbon-fibre low wing cantilever monoplane with full span ailerons and a conventional landing gear with a tailwheel. It has an enclosed cockpit for two in tandem on recling seats and a single piece canopy. The MX2 is powered by a 260 hp (194 kW) Lycoming IO-540 flat-six piston engine with a three-blade tractor propeller. Optimised for aerobatic speed and agility the MX2 can pull a G-load of plus and minus 12 Gs, giving it tight turns and loops and a range of aerobatic maneuvers.
    Promo Video 1 (more to come):

    This project started a few months after the Cassutt. I abandoned it soon after I saw that I won't be able to pull that project off.
    So, I posted it on the org forum as an unfinished airplane.
    After a while (a few months ago), I saw it abandoned in my Hangar - In Work folder.
    I decided to work on it again. So I started the work and I began enjoy building it. I had to re-build the wings, the control surfaces, the canopy, gear, nose of the aircraft and edit the body.
    It started to look really good, so I continued it. I published a topic on the org about the development of this aircraft which was labeled as [Freeware].
    I worked hard on it every day.
    I had quite some trouble finding a painter for this aircraft but then I remembered Hampster; he made the textures for the Cassutt Racer.
    He was in as soon as I asked him.
    So, time started to run, I got the Greg Pee livery within one week. It's been almost 3 weeks since then. I wanted to release the MX2 on the day I got the Greg Pee livery.
    But since Hampster didn't reply to any of my emails, I started to shape my own white paint.
    I believe that Hampster has some goodies in his "liveries" folder and as soon as I get them, I'll update the file with the liveries.
    For now, there are only three liveries:
    - White Paint (by me, Brent123)
    - MX2 Default (by Jack Wilette, UltimateFlyer)
    - Greg Pee (by Hamish Hall-Smith, Hampster)
    Let's go to the features of this aircraft:
    - Hi-Res textures
    - Custom Prop Disc
    - 3 Liveries
    - Detailed 3D Cockpit
    - Highly Detailed 3D Exterior Model
    - Custom Sounds
    - Normal Maps (mostly to hide the triangles on the model)
    - A side menu made with SASL (Checklist, Aerobations & Credits)
    There are two more acf files, one is v10 and the other one is "If You Dare".
    Tested in X-Plane 9.7, X-Plane 10.20+, 32bit & 64bit.
    The creation of this aircraft would not be possible if there weren't for these people:
    - Steve Hatfield (support, flight model development, betatesting)
    - Ilias Tselios (help with the cockpit, animations and SASL)
    - Jack Willette (for making the "Default MX2" Livery)
    - Hamish Hall-Smith (for making the "Greg Pee" livery)
    - Jordan Palmer, Nathan Powell & Sara Gomboc (betatesters)
    - Peter Tram, Oz Grinfeld & others (for support)
    I'm really excited about what you guys think about it!
    Please rate and comment!
    Remember: it won't make the aircraft better if you say that it sucks, neither will if you say this is a great airplane, 4*. I will fix all of the bugs that will appear.
    Enjoy it guys!

  4. Tangent Aircraft EMG-5

    By brent123

    Hello!
    One more treat for tonight. This time without a 3D cockpit (will come once it's finished in real life).
    I started this project like a year ago, didn't really work on it much since I realised that I'll have another finger surgery in two weeks. I got afraid that I won't be able to pull this project off till summer as promised. I did it in the end.
    ***I didn't make the flightmodel. I only made the exterior model.
    I got invited to this project by Steve Hatfield last year, I think in August. I was really happy, this was my second project of an aircraft that actually exist in real life AND I got invited to work with a group that has all the data needed to make this airplane (provided by Tangent Aircraft).
    Was fun building it. I wish I could do more details but the aircraft isn't built in real life so it's hard to make it detailed.
    Thanks goes to:
    - Steve Hatfield (for intorducing and adding me to this project)
    - Nick Kuiper (for help with the flightmodel)
    - Brian Carpenter, CEO of Tangent Aircraft (for all of the data needed to make this eye candy)
    - Hamish Hall-Smith (Hampster, for making the white paint)
    - Benedikt Samson (for making two paints for this airplane, the "N8112MX" and the "Swiss HB-2088")
    - Others participating in this project
    This aircraft some more eye candy than before (was a plane-maker only project).
    *v10 version included!!
    Little video I put up together as a teaser a while ago (if you don't like electronic music at 150bpm, turn the volume down):

    Rate & Comment! Any comment much appreciated!
    Enjoy!

    This high performance aerobatic aircraft was a fantastic airshow performer. It could climb vertically at 60knots, brake on descend using "beta" and stop the propeller in flight.
    This model does all this and inverted flat spins.
    I had a recovery parachute just in case of structural failure.
    To brake on step descent reduce speed and then wait for propeller to reverse, the speed will drop and should keep the aircraft horizontal as a controlled stall. Need lots of training.

    It's a real fun to fly this one.
