Mikko's Maule FSX native

SOH-CM-2023
As the title suggest, Mikko's Maule M7-260/MT7-260 from the early FS2004 are being converted to FSX native with spec and bump maps. As of now and so far, the tricycle gear variant is the first to be converted with the external model nearly done. The plan is to get all variants converted and released in one shot instead of one by one. Now as I mentioned in the other thread, everything from the original release will remain intact. No changes to the externals or virtual cockpit are going to be made, the only change being done is adding a propeller blur disc in 3DS Max since the original is lost during the export from MCX. High resolution textures are planned, but I'm leaving that for my painter to do. No timeframe and I'm not in no hurry to get these done as I am preparing the release of the Sikorsky S76 in a few days, going over the Bell 222 to get it released, more work on the Trislander. So for anyone that wished to have wanting these fully working in FSX, well those dreams came true ;)

Just to avoid confusion, the propeller disc can be salvaged by reimporting the MDL in MCX and entering high numbers in the "set condition variables".
 
I was wondering why would I need this when the default Maule in FSX is such a little gem. Now I see it's a trike.

Whole other beast.

Getting it.

Thank-you, Charlie and co.

Post back here if it worked for you! Everything seemed to work on the free flight page until it crapped out with a CTD before I could pick my airport! :banghead:
 
Hi everybody,

very beautiful plane but I have a question.
I have strange grey triangles when the landing lights are on, but only when I 'm looking from the rear part of the plane to the front.

Strange issue...

Stay safe Lucame

Are you using DX10? May not be compatible.
 
Hi Mr Zippy,

no , I'm not using DX 10

The triangles appear just when the landing lights are on.
No problems with position lights or beacon.

I have a slightly older version of this Maule. Probably the FS9 ported over to FSX version. The landing lights show fine. I'll make another attempt at this FSX Native version to see if there is a difference.

OK, now I have the New FSX Native Maule working and I see what you are talking about, also! Might have to try some other landing light effects!

Same here as well, and only visible from the rear. There is also an odd shadow that shows on the top of the fuselage and is visible in all of the screenshots posted here. I checked the textures and it's not part of the fuselage or wings so not sure why it's there.
 
Also no VC available even when adding interior=Maule_Trigear_P3DV4_interior to the model.cfg. Too bad! Off to the recycle bin. :banghead:

Hi Charlie,

That may be a while, but definitely looking forward to trying the tri-gear and float versions out.

I currently have a serious case of Irisitis happening here.

I uninstalled the CT/4F after several unexplained CTD's, but wasn't about to give up on these beauties - went back in for a second look today.

The Grob G155E/Tutor T.1 works flawlessly and flies beautifully - a great aircraft for low 'n slow flights.

The PC21 Driver, ... it too works flawlessly - FMS, HUD etc. This one is fast and likes to get away from you even during taxi.

Lots of eye candy in both these aircraft.

A very generous gesture to offer these at n/c to our community....... Thank-you, Iris.
