English Electric Lightning - FS9 to FSX conversion

[Davecook]

Hi all,

A little while ago a conversion was made available to make the original Alphasim English Electric Lightning compatible with FSX. I have been playing around with this conversion for months and have not succeeded in getting anything better than a disembodied 2D cockpit with no gauges. I can see that I am missing a number of 'model', 'sim' and 'texture' files but I never had the original FS9 Alphasim files to begin with.

Not that I am lazy or anything but would it be possible pleeeeese for anyone who has succesfully converted this aircraft to FSX to upload it to the File Library before divorce proceedings are served?

Thanks.

Dave:

I have been eyeing this aircraft for sometime (freeware and payware), but I don't have it yet.

Your question made me look a bit more. Apparently, there are plenty of active threads going on at SOH Warbird Library.

You may start with this following flightsim thread (our resident expert Don has more links listed there):

Just FYI, I found a thread 20 pages long (and counting) at SOH:
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...9-EE-Lightning

You will need SOH login access for all this (interesting) information about this aircaft.

Good-luck.

simmerdr, The link in my post that you gave is dead. IIRC it was the same thread as the second one you gave...Don

[edit]I changed that link to your second one, so, if it comes up in a search it will be valid...

Thanks guys,

I am familiar with the SOH threads, and I have tried to follow their recommendations, but, as I said, I don't have the original Alphasim files and so I end up with an incomplete file structure even after going through all the moves. I just hope that someone, someday, uploads a fully converted model ...
