CBF Projects - Tristar

[cbfasi 4]

CBF Projects present the Lockhead L-1101-500 'Tristar'

You may have seen the pictures before buts here them again but this time I also give you the addon..

This has been a project long in the making, starting over 2 years ago!

First started with the hope to take a msfs model and textures and porting them direct into O2 etc..

Although it worked I didnt like what I saw and found I had to build a new model, that took time, and didnt help that many diagrams of the 500 version where different.

The textures, again I wasnt happy and in this case I ended up combining bits and peices from a number of different ms freeware models, so many and most from well over 2 year ago (I have quite a few msfs tristars!.  I increased the res to allow for a re-textuers and although started my skills let me down and I gave up..

What you have here is where I got.. all 4 aircraft share the same texture layout and as such with the replacement of just 2 textures you can repaint the whole exterior body (wings another matter)

All I ask is that you let me know if your going to do a upgrade etc for public release... (and let me have a copy!

Anyway this what your after..

*** known issue with firefox and this link, you WILL get a load of garbage text..., do SAVE TARGET AS or the equivelant

Not a big file but cannot be sure if my hosts bandwidth will take it so another mirror might be ideal.

All enjoy one the biggest planes in ofp that fits within the 64m limit!

NEW Mirror (firefox compatible!

Big thanks to spearheaduk

Holy hell! I get a load of characters, numbers and squiggles all over the page when I click that link

EDIT: nvm... 'Save Link As' helped

For ALL, there are likely to be a number of bugs, one is that AI will frequently crash! (even on take off!! but in human hands she flies nicely (at least she does for me!

[Daniel 0]

That she does! Very nice plane, it would be a crime if this plane never gets a proper cockpit.

Mmmm, incrediably nice plane, taken a few rides in one before with 216 Squadron, whom my squadron in the ATC has good relations with (also designated 216).

Good work mate.

Thanks for the great comments

As some may notice this addon does not meet the current quality standards set by the community, but heres a thing to consider..

1. Its my first plane.

2. It has had no more than 5-6 dyas actual time on it in these 2 years!

CSJ's nice 737 is fantastic in comparison and I hope to one day bring these Tristars upto match..

I do hope for some feedback, ideally constructive too..

(am now aware that she a little too manouverable, may need some help to understand how the figures inthe cpp actaully affect flight, along with mass etc on the model)

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Put on Body Armour and Helmets....

...we are off to Iraq!

[cbfasi 4]

Try the other few squads aswell..... (note be the first squad in back.. you get bigger seats!!

[tankieboy 0]

Do you plan do doing anymore to the inside. Like widows?

[cbfasi 4]

How do you mean?? there are windows seen from the cargo view, and yes I hope to do even more work, especially to the textures but time is short.

[tankieboy 0]

I can only see out of the pilots view, not gunners (co-pilot) or cargo. I do not see anyother windows apart from the pilots?

[-HUNTER- 1]

Are you planning on AA refueling capability that would rock!

Is it possible to move the plane on the ground at smaller airports like nogova? Or does it need very large airport?

[tankieboy 0]

It handles the best I have seen in OFP for its size (taxing?), it can land and taxi (good turning circle) around Malden no problems. Have tried it on Nogova, however AI clip the sheds and blow it up!

Not tried it on other islands apart from the two above.

[cbfasi 4]

The taxi ablity is one of the things I heard this plane in real life is pretty good at, as for air to air refueling, its beyond my abilites..

[tankieboy 0]

And beyond OFP's abilites AFAIK.

Ive got my own island for larger planes, using RKSL textures, I have made it to have fun with the large AN-124 so I was just asking! haha, It is looking great!
