Complete conversions of Virtavia's FSX B-66 series to CFS2...complete with weapons. They're mighty sweet, but a lot of work Cheesy

There are three versions: B-66B, RB-66B and EB-66B (not pictured). Wink

If you want it done, call the grunts. If you want it done right, call the Air Force.

As usual, the most time-consuming part of these conversions is the panel(s). By comparison, the textures, the MDL, CFG, AIR and DP are relatively quick jobs. Cry

The problem with the panels is that the gauges for most FS2004/FSX aircraft are .XML format while CFS2 will recognize only .GAU format. Therefore, you have to go through the process of finding replacement gauges for each and every one populating the cockpit. Shocked

Yes, it's a B83 medium-yield thermonuclear device. It works rather nicely....with the Nuke Effect. The B-66B will come with 8 alternate payloads. The RB and EB-66s of course are armed only with tail cannon and nothing at all respectively. Wink

The B-66B is uploaded and should be available for download in the morning. She's a sweetheart with cockpits that you can really fly from! Cool

The RB-66 and EB-66 will be following shortly....assuming I can stay ahead of CAG's 'honey-do' list long enough to get them packaged. Grin

The RB-66 and the EB-66 have been uploaded. Look for them in the download que tomorrow.

The RB-66 flew photo recon, while the totally unarmed EB-66 provided electronic jamming for flights of fighter-bombers over Vietnam. Shown below providing electronic cover for a flight of Thuds. Roll Eyes

The Brown-Shoe Navy Squids are pouting, and whining that their original A-3 Skywarrior is being ignored....and that it is better looking than the Bus Driver's B-66. Grin

I'm gonna give in and get the nice Alpha A-3 ready for her CFS2 debut.....well, I do like the sleeker cockpit design....them bus drivers just wanted more headroom for walking around. Cool

The RB and EB are now available for download, and I've uploaded the A-3B US Navy Skywarrior....conversion to CFS2 from FSX of the original AlphaSim aircraft. She should be available Sunday. Roll Eyes

You want some fun? Land this baby on one of Collin's Essex class carriers. And I'm not sure you can get one off the carrier deck without setting her up to use the 'jet catapult/afterburner' function. Grin

You've been busy, Kemosabe! Looking mighty good. Tongue

But I'll bet you've been neglecting CAG's 'honey-do' list again. Grin
