napamule2 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I can help you but I need the filename or author so I can download it and work on it.

neilfb Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 look for ld.zip or Neil Birch it's on page 12. Thanks. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I meant the zip or author of the 'flying bike'. If I remember right Bill Lyons might of made a bike like that. I had that bike. Might have to look in SurClaro site. Googled it but got nothing. But if it is a macro you are looking for then I can't help. I have FDEs for Harley and for Indian motorcycles. Also FDEs for Kaz Ito's 'Air Bike for Sylph' that has jet engine but prop sound and it has floats. With spoiler deployed it hovers at 5 kts and will hold altitude as long as you give it throttle. Goes 128 kts. Stops on a dime (cut throttle). Now all we need is the bike model. Should be fun - if we can find it.

neilfb Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 I am the author of the bike. I made it in Abacus's FSDS years ago. The bike is included in my Lake District Scenery. ld.zip but for some reason a search can't seem to find it. Look under Neil Birch and it's on page 12, `A Week in the Lakes for FS 2002 and 2004.

napamule2 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Neil, Sorry I had a busy day and then I worked on FDE for a bike. It's 3:30 am now (PST) and just now looked at LD.zip and spoted the bike (NFB_Mk1.zip). I looked yesterday but somehow I missed it. I will work on the FDE tonight and get back to you tamale (Tue) about 3 pm (PST). Question: How fast do you want it to go? Do you mind if it's jet engine? You can sub the sound to be quiet, as opposed to being loud jet, if you prefer. It goes 120 mph now 'as is' and hovers around 6 kts (depends on wind). I'm on it. Later.

napamule2 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Well after 4 differet FDEs, and trial & error sessions, I made one that works good. Not 100% but close enough. Yet it will need tweaking due to 3 or 4 issues. So I took a break and made a short video. It's 'unlisted' so won't be seen unless I give link. I need to get some sleep and will finish it up tonight. Here is video link: .

napamule2 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Come right in...but please leave your wings out on the porch (hehe). Neil, Well I got it working good in FSX Acceleration. In fact doing so helped me improve the cnt pts for FSX so FS9 performance improved too. Not speed, just how it sits on ground. The wheels no longer sink in ground (phew!). But not done yet. Have to polish up a few things. I found out that if I shut the engine off the rider's legs (and pants) appear. Of course the 'L' key brings out the campstove, with fire, and the giant tent with rider sitting on ground (this is really cool). I really like this 'stuff'. Good show Neil. Making another video. I will finish and upload cfg and air files to Media Fire file host. You will have to get your own panel and sound. How's a re-upload of bike to share with simmers? (I need the publicity-hehe).

napamule2 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Well we are flying now! Made a video. Neil Birch's 'Flying Bike', Tourer MK1, in FSX Acceleration. It's much better but I am still polishing the details as you can only do so much in ONE day! Here is Link: . Too much fun already.

neilfb Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 That's great but it's too fast, remember we are touring the Lake District not following the Red Arrows down the valley. 40 mph is fast enough. I really wanted the bike graphically redesigning as it is looking its age! Neil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Well I asked 'how fast do you want it?' I can slow it down. OR you could pedal slower (hehe). The reason it is so fast is (1). They are the FDEs I made for Hama's Honda CBR1000 (2). I have only worked on it ONE day! And about the bike model: it's ok - what is 'curious' is the rider not having legs. Model glitch? The legs are there when you turn engine off, of course. I never modeled. I just 'do' FDEs. All in all I consider it a good week FOR ME because I got your bike. I love vehicles, bikes, tanks, ufo's, etc. I don't do tubes anymore. Just GA. Cheers.

zswobbie1 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I cannot believe I missed this one. I now have a bike to go with my Honda, Harley's & a Velosolex. I collect odd 'planes' for FS2004, to go with my trains, cars, boats & subs. I hope I have not missed anything.
