rcbarend Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Gary, I'm very familiar with this Jupiter2-LIS model, assuming this is the one from Ronnie Pendergraft (the only one I know of). I even made a VTOL upgrade for it many years ago. As far as I can remember, this originally is an FS-98 model, redone for FS2002/2004. Maybe the external visual model still works in FSX (as the videos show), but all of the cockpit gauges don't work because they are (incompatible) FS98-formatted gauges. So, as far as I know, they is no model that works fully in FSX; which is unfortunate, because it was a great aircraft to fly. Especially the cockpit. I think it won't be updated, since this requires redevelopment of all the gauges. And Ronnie has stopped FS design a long time ago. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been solved long time ago. First, there is no FSX version as I know of. But: Please read this thread too: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?295068-pendercrafts-com-jupiter-2-goddard-zip What you see in the video is the first WIP version, available here in the library as file Jupiter2.zip. just do a file search. Also download the update J2UPDTS1.zip, and use the aircraft.cfg and .air file from the FS2004 section in this update file. This combo flies Ok in FSX, however the VirtualCockpit is disfunctional (no gauges) and has only rough texturing. The final version of this Jupiter2-LIS (see reference to file goddard.zip in the other thread) is also a FS9 addon, has numerous extra features and visual effects, and a fantastic VC; it also contains my VTOL addon, and, with one VTOL file replaced, works perfectly in FSX. With one exception, however: the windows in the VC are not transparant, but black; so you don;t have an outside view. This happens with some other FS2004 addon too, and has to do with the visual model coding and/or textures (incompatibility with FSX). I know that can be solved, I just don't know how myself. I will ask around with some other flightsim designers how … Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garykidman Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thank you so much everybody for your reply to my query about the Jupiter 2. Your feedback was very interesting and helpful. I have a copy of FS2004 and FSX so I will have a try with both sims but I found your info encouraging. Many thanks guys Regards Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 This was the first splash I ever made from my FS9 years and years ago. I was actually using it right now before this thread even came up. Long live LIS! Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcbarend Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi, I'm trying to get in contact with Rich Taylor regarding an update of the FS9-Jupiter2 package (goddard.zip) for FSX. Rich was a member of the team (a.o. with Ronnie Pendergraft as designer) that created this great package. I know that Ronnie quit the hobby, but I'm not sure about Rich. I have Emailed with Rich many times (years ago), but the Email address I have is no longer valid. If anyone reading this knows how to get in contact with Rich, please send me a PM. Regards, Rob Barendregt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
