Rick Piper Chipmunk V3 in DX10

[mike stryczek 23]

In DX10 Rick Piper Chipmunk has all white textures including instruments

is there a fix ?

happy landings

Two answers, Mike, as I have no idea which version you have:

Here is the Chippie, with .dds textures, Bernte Stolle .airfile, aircraft.cfg and extra sound packs.


All the best!

Doesn't work for me, using the 3.0 Chippie above with the 3.2.2 shader patch I get an Albino plane and cockpit!

Sad as the Chippie was the first r/l plane I ever flew...

 

Paul,

Are you saying I need to go back to 3.2.1 shader?

 

Cheers

Same with me, Keith, but - yes - 3.2.1 should fix it.. 3.2.2 is the same patch with that part removed, as Steve is putting that into a more comprehensive application - like AddonConverterX.

I've had the same problems so bought addonconverter x and all shows up fine now on the Chippie. It's one of my favourite addons for FSX and the first "real" aircraft I ever flew solo.

 

I wouldn't recommend the updated airfile or aircraft.cfg. IMO the original is perfectly realistic.

But seeing you're also an ex chippie flyer see what you think!

OK thanks, sounds like 3.2.1 is more functional than 3.2.2...

Sadly its a looooooong time ago...

Hellow, Keith:

I found that Rick's original would almost never spin, and had almost no performance figures which would match the book. The one thing that the f/s Chippie did well, was the Falling Leaf, and this, along with the wing-drop at the stall was not replicate-able (??) in Rick's version. I note that I have added an .airfile and cfg along with the zipfile, but don't remember why. I'll see which version I'm using and take a look at those. Maybe they shouldn't be there!

 

.... and as you say - "Sadly its a loooooooong time ago" - and even longer in my case!

 

Lovely aircraft.

The big zip seems to have all the updates, feels fine to me, I'll try the original.

I went back to DX9 rather than unravel the 322 DX10 fixes, wanted to check a few scenery anomalies anyway.

 

My last Chippie flight was 14/10/1972, in WP929 - I'll be impressed if you can beat that!

There is a WP924 texture ... might try my hand at repainting!

:lol:

First flight RAF Shawbury, 1956 or '57., maybe 12 yrs old, Air Scouts , followed by a number of flights at camp with the ATC - but have no recollection of numbers, Keith! ...and I'm impressed with your memory!

[keithb77 308]

OK I'm officially impressed!

 

Not my memory though, still got my ATC form 3822, so cheating a bit.

First flight Coltishall, 1970, aged 14 years and 1 day, most of my flights were at Shawbury too though.

Have you got the ESI Shawbury scenery, its excellent, though modern period.

 

Apologies to the DX10 readers, drifting off topic...

 

To get back to DX10, the Shawbury scenery has just one big terrain square that's brightly lit at night, which I think is a DX10 issue.

Is there a way to hunt down the errant texture and convert it?

 

Cheers,

Keith

My first Chippie flight was with the ATC at North Weald age 15, I daren't say the year..

That's interesting! Is the above link with the updated cfg air files? If so I'll give it a try again.

Here is the Chippie, with .dds textures,

That's the one, way above.

 

What radio stations do you broadcast on?...I'll listen out.

Excellent thanks Keith.

 

At the moment I'm doing the travel news every afternoon and evening on LBC in London and BBC 3CR in Beds/Bucks/Herts (from the safety of a studio..weather is too bad for any flying..!)

 

Cheers,

I tried the v3 chippie with DDS textures but for some reason the aeroplane appears semi transparent in DX10.

 

Also those alternative sounds are awful. Much prefer the original IMHO.
