Tongass Fjords X (TFX) SimObjects AI Model update for P3Dv4 July 23, 2017
Note: There is no particular reason to implement this update if you do not use P3Dv4 or higher even though these converted models will run in a FSX or P3D environment. It is possible that an FSX/P3Dv3 or P3Dv2.5 user might like the prop spin & blur on these converted models better since they were tailored to look good in FSX as well as P3D. The old TFX AI models were designed to run most effectively in FS2002/FS2004 and do not always look that good in FSX. However, this package of converted TFX SimObjects models is required for anyone who wants to benefit from the full AI as it was designed for TFX in P3Dv4 or higher. RTMM has identified four TFX AI Airplanes that are not completely compatible with P3Dv4 now that Lockheed Martin has removed the SimObjects backwards compatibility for AI models constructed under the FS8 and FS9 SDKs. This update converts these models to be FSX models so that they will work properly in P3Dv4. The models converted are the two DHC-3s, the DHC-6 and the Dash 7. You can see pictures of the converted models a bit earlier in this thread.
While Doug is having his cataract surgery, I have provided a Dropbox download link for this update. Once Doug is back it will be moved to the P3Dv4 section and have a normal RTMM Scenery download link.
Edit 8/11/17: Version 1.1 is now available which also contains v1.0. V1.1 includes the above mentioned AI Planes as well as the AI TFX Bell 206L Helicopter conversion which most users have never seen due to a bug in the TFX release which caused the Bell 206L not to be loaded at run time.
If you already loaded v1.0, v1.1 documentation tells you how to jump to the end of the install instructions so you can just add the Bell 206L.
