think the b1 has potential, please fix the basic issues with the initial (and v1.01) release:

1) panel/gauge emissive layer not showing, cockpit is totally dark at night.  i see the _emit sheets in texture.internal but the panel integral lights are inop.

2) option to turn on/off asobo pilot/co-pilot avatar in vc by clicking on the seat

3) spoiler position gauge inop

4) cockpit spot/map lights are in the line of sight, please move them closer to window frame

5) there's a severe size mismatch between the b1 model and the asobo avatars when looking in using the drone cam: 

6) for v1.0.1, the landing light seems inop.

 

 

Hi

Thanks for report. Will share with KF team.
 

created for B1 fans:

no fantasy livery mod

lighting mod

https://flightsim.to/file/84213/b1-b-lighting-mod

no update/fix for the B1, is this what they call 'abandonware?' or 'half-baked release and forget?'  

Absolute shame, The actual aircraft model is great looks awesome.. but it flies awful, the systems within are either not working or work just about enough that it still doesn't work and is probably worse than it not working at all..

Please...

Sort out the flight model

Sort out the Autopilot and it's functions

Sort out the sound package

Make the afterburner look at least somewhat life like.. not just a blob stuck to the end of the engines.

@Loki reassurance that the b1 isn't 'abandonware?' or 'half-baked release and forget?' would be appreciated.

Hi there,

Apologies for the delay. I assure you that no product we release is "abandonware". We are committed to fixing any outstanding issues as soon as possible. I'll communicate here again once we have an update soon to release.

Your patience and continued support is more than appreciated 🙂
Thank you

@Lokithanks for the reply. 

hope you can address the easy items on the first post: you already have the emissive layers in the texture file, just needs to be implemented.  also, vc scale is off wrt the pilot avatar, either one is mis-scaled, among other issues others have mentioned in this forum.

and also please, stow the lamps so they don't block the line of sight looking forward...

4 month and no update from kwikflite.  customer feedback and quality are of no concern???

 

btw, your pilots are scaled at 90% in the model for some reason, this is why they are so small in the cockpit (volumetrically 72% of adult model).  think this is an easy fix for you guys.

if the dev doesn't care, someone fixed and improved it.

Yes, in fact I’m fascinated by the cockpit—it’s very well made—but the systems are basic, actually very basic. It feels like an unfinished aircraft, or rather as if the KwikFlight team inexplicably stopped at 30%, and I wonder why. They have the potential to create a masterpiece, or is it difficult to find the data needed to accurately reproduce the systems and flight model? Alas, who will ever know…

I really hope the team continues development, because the exterior model and cockpit deserve systems that match their quality.
