Virtual P-38 models (and other goodies)
by David C. Copley

Project XP-38N ver. 4 models for FS2004*

XP-38, P-38F-1, P-38G-13, P-38H-5, P-38J-15, F-5E-2, P-38L-5, P-38L Racer, P-38M-6, XP-38N

Primary features

Animations: control surfaces, landing gear, rolling wheels, gear suspension, cooling vents, canopy, landing light, yoke, engine and propeller levers, etc.

Reflective textures

more and more detail (as I continue to update them!)

All new, actual P-38 engine/propeller sounds

Realistic flight model

Dynamic virtual cockpit

some newer modern equipment for a full virtual flight experience (GPS, autopilot, nav radio, etc.)

* For those who have attempted to use my models in FSX, I want to mention several problems, all known issues with running FS9 models in FSX:

1) panel window and gauge problems
2) blurred prop textures are rendered behind clouds (exterior view only)
3) scenery behind canopy glass is messed up / missing
4) 'un-textured' parts are all black
5) emissive parts don't shine (eg, non-fx lights)
6) no landing lights (somewhat fixed by FSX SP1)

With my permission, Roger Mole has released a package that helps with issues related to #1 (panels and gauges). Download from SOH.
