I already had purchased the payware version, but had to drop a big thank you here to Dino for his fantastic contributions to the Flight Sim community! Nice to see this awesome plane made available to a wider audience.

Haven't tried the latest version yet, but never had any trouble with earlier versions. Is this your only plane wih this problem?

From me too a big

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

@Flyboy 208 - Crash to Desktop may happen if you do not have Acceleration. FSX:A is required for the F-35 to work.

Hello Dino,

I have downloade and installed your wonderful models of F-35A, B and C. You have done a remarkable work. Thank you very much.

The Canada probably cannot afford a real one since the cost for 65 aircraft for 30 yaers will cost us a minimum à 40 billion $. And it is not the final price since the developpment is not yet complete. So your virtual models are particulary welcome

I wish you, and your family, a new year 2013 full of joy, freindship and good healrh.

Have a good day

Benoit

1.
Thanks for the tip Stickshaker.
The download and install worked perfectly !

And I just finished a mission in and out ( Team SDB Scenery ) Canadian Force base Cold Lake Alberta
with Dino's F-35A !!!

Wow !!!!

This superb project is quite "light" on FPS loading.
With my current settings I have quite a stable 25 FPS readings with stable peaks over 30 FPS on
external images options !!!

2.
I want to sincerly thank Mr. Dino Cattaneo for this super cool freeware gift for the beginning of 2013 !!!


"Grazie Mille"

Hmm. I am getting almost slide show fps on my system that otherwise can handle most loads. Anyone having similar issues or try swapping out the hi res for lower res textures?

Fantastic work Dino and most generous of you to make freeware. Looking forward to the Tomcat.

I have the F35 ready for catshot on Ronald Reagan in FD 4 and if you release the parking brake (see instructions) it will only roll down the cat and not launch.
I tried with other aircraft and they will launch as per instruction (see below), not the F35.
It will launch on the Enterprise and other carriers. On other carriers, the launch sequence is more involved then in FD4.
Press Shift + U then Shift + 1 then Shift + Space Bar = Launch.

Dino's F-35C is set up for the catapult and arresting operations introduced by the FSX Acceleration expansion pack. You can take advantage of this by using Javier's Nimitz or the default Acceleration carrier. The controls are Shift+U to lower the launch bar, Shift+I to connect to the catapult, and Shift+Spacebar to launch. Lower the tailhook before landing by using Shift+Q.

Abacus uses a non standard implementation of carrier functionality.

I guess I should of made mention that I DID use that launch sequence and it doesn't work for FS4.

FS4 ?? I assume you mean Flight Deck 4 ??

But seriously:
Flight Deck 4 was a product created for FS2004 (FS9); since you do need FSX-Acceleration for this F-35 aircraft, why would you even bother to use FlightDeck4 for this addon ??
IF it even works in FSX-Acceleration (I've never tried it) at all, everything in this FD4 package (launch/arrest features, aircraft addons, carrier addons) is completely outdated compared to todays available freeware. So why use it ?

Please explain ....

Rob

[Dino Cattaneo]

Yes, the F-35 is designed to Acceleration standards - and should work fine with all the Acceleration-compatible carriers (the default one, Javier's Nimitz series, the Clemenceau and the new Enterprise...and may be others that do not come to my mind).
Compatibility with older methods of simulation carrier ops is not granted.

Aside, I'd like to publicly thank Rob for having convinced me that proper STOVL operation for the F-35B was feasibile, and for the fantastic implementation he delivered: great job!
