Looks really good! just seems to read that there no VC though... Least i can try and mod in the other certain rafale VC

[ryanbatc]

There used to be a VC...did he end up canning it?

[CG_1976]

VaporZ, can you go to post #1443 at http://www.pilote-virtuel.com/viewto...p?id=4619&p=58 and translate please. Seems to be discussing a VC mod.

[Mach3DS]

Thor's Hammer is alluding to the fact that there WILL be a VC. He's not previewing it though. It will likely be a surprise for everyone on the release day. Tomorrow. Been following this for a long time. Excited for it definitely!

[VaporZ]

I confirm there will be no VC for the moment !

Take a look at the picture below
No VC !

[Mach3DS]

Looks like my french is a little rusty....should have used Google...lol I will certainly "borrow" a VC from my hangar...

[fsafranek]

Yea, it did have a VC under development when I saw it last year but I guess I didn't post any pictures of it on my preview page. Well, we've had to merge in a temporary VC as we've successfully done before -- Kawasaki T-4 for example.

Ha! Wouldn't that be no WC?

[warchild]

::roflmao:: Good one ..

[VaporZ]

Yes but in France and / or in french language it is pronounced
"VC" ( Vay Say ).

Explaining this french "gag" picture !

[Lateral-G]

now I need a crash course on how to 'borrow' a VC.......

anyone?

anyone?

Bueller?

[robertorizzo]

Etendard?
Rafale Rollus?

Can anyone explain how to merge a VC?

And...having Laborie's Rafale does it worth to merge its VC with Thor's plane?
May we have a Rollus vs Thor's pro & cons?

Thanks.

[Ferry_vO]

It is available! (But only a slow Megaupload...)

May try to merge in the default F-18 VC later...

[Ferry_vO]

Easy enough..

How to add the default Acceleration F/A-18 Hornet VC to the Rafale:

1. Go to the FsX\Simobjects\airplanes\A-18\model folder and copy the file FA-18_interior.mdl to the FsX\Simobjects\airplanes\Rafale M 3x1275litres\model folder.

2. Open the model.cfg in the Rafale M 3x1275litres\model folder and add the line 'interior=FA-18_Interior'.

3.Copy all texture from the FA-18\texture folder except the ones that start with FA-18_Wing and FA-18_Main to the Rafale M 3x1275litres\texture folder.

4.Copy the panel.cfg from the FA-18\panel folder and paste it in the Rafale M 3x1275litres\panel folder, replacing the original one.

All other variants of the Rafale are aliased to this particular model (Only the aircraft.cfg's differ to reflect the weight of each version) so you will only have to do steps 1-4 once.

5. In the aircraft.cfg of each variant, replace the [views] section with this:

[Views]
eyepoint=11.524, -0.00, 3.246
zoom=.5

6. Go fly!

Is anybody else seeing a red navlight effect where the launchbar attachpoint is? (see attached pic)

Attachment 49278

it stays with the aircraft in flight and won't turn off with the lights.

Dave, that light also shows up in one of the shots they posted on their site, so apparently either they know it's there and haven't been able to fix it (or can't) or they just missed it somehow.

[DaveWG]

Hmm, I've narrowed it down a bit.

I had merged in the default F18 VC, so I tried removing that and the light has now gone.

Will have to try a different VC.

[fantumfan2003]

File name says "Rafale M Beta 2.1" so guess the final one with VC is some time away.....

[DaveWG]

Tried a different VC and that worked OK.

Didn't really suit the aircraft though, so I went a bit drastic. I hex-edited the F18 interior model & changed the fx_navred to something else. Works fine now

[fantumfan2003]

Thor says in the doc "Last thing, I'm sorry to have taken so much time, for so less results."

Thor, Many, Many Thanks for the Rafale. I will wait till you come up with a final package that you produce. Till then your gift is more than good...

Wishing you all the very best.....

I noticed the light too, but didn't think it would be related to the VC... Strange that it doesn't show up in the F/A-18 but it does in the Rafale! Might have to try a different VC too but I doubt I have anything suitable..

[thunder100]

This comes off the F-18

I fly with the F35 VC/Dino's) and its not there

Does the Rafale really bank that quick?With 3800 liter in external tanks?

Other then this (BETA !! ) Stunning exterior

[CG_1976]

If you can merge the Dino F35 VC can you share how? I'd really like to give this Rafale a Arctic work out.

Being a fully bilingual "Québecois" and reading Thor's Hammer remarks on the following french
forum, I confirm to you there will be other future versions/updates including a fully workable
Virtual Cockpit.

French forum is here :

I will gave you some news from this forum when they will be significant.
