Why not take up the issue with Dino. Earlier another thread about the F-35 updates noted a 'virus' perhaps on MediaFire. Perhaps the message is related to that or too many downloads or something. I'll guess Dino will be able to say if he is made aware of it. I believe you can e-mail Dino directly or comment on the thread.

Version 2.21 of the T-45C was on this page at simviation.

F-35 Version 2.08 18 Oct 2012

http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/f-35-version-208.html

DINO says: "Last night I have uploaded to SimMarket an update to the F-35 project - I wish I had the time to make a bigger update including new loadouts, I did not... anyway here it is.

Customers may want to check their SimMarket accounts to see if the download is available, as last time there were issues with the notifications emails.

Contributors and testers should receive an email with complimentary download link soon.

Version 2.08
October 17th 2012 – CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSION:
Added 3BSM roll animation, and lift-fan air intake door variable opening angle to F-35B model (as in the real plane the engine nozzle can rotate sideways to help directional control, while the lift fan door opening angle changes depending on airspeed – NOTE: these animations may not work in multiplayer).

Fixed minor mistake in Royal Netherlands Air Force repaint
Fixe light leakage modeling mistake in -B model
Changed registry entry in installation program
(should address compatibility issues in some configurations)
Fixed F-35B canopy texturing misplacement
Added crew boarding model and animation to all models (SHIFT+E then 4 controls the animation – panel opens and crew boarding ladder is deployed, cosmetic-only)"

Dino has some concerns about the F-35 package:

Dino is asking for improvement suggestions for the F-35 variations (which will be freeware soon).

F-35 Lightning II - Suggestions for further updates? 14 Nov 2012

http://indiafoxtecho.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/f-35-lightning-ii-suggestions-for.html

"As I wrote in the previous post, I have withdrawn the F-35 from sales at SimMarket. It will be re-released as freeware soon.
I'll take the chance of the freeware release to make a further (minor) update...

Specifically, at the moment I have:
- Changed the .air file to reflect the latest public reports and statements from the test team. It appears that the F-35 is not capable of proper supercruising: it requires the A/B to get through the sound barrier, but then can maintain M1.2 for a relevant distance without the use of A/B. Transonic performance will also be better.
- Solved the autothrottle bug...of course it was a trivial mistake in the aircraft.cfg.
- Removed the MFD and "wide" views of the cockpit - which were just an annoyance for most users.

Should you have any suggestion for improvement, please let me know - adding a comment on this post would be teh preferred way.

I am also thinking of a P3D specific version, although I have not tested P3D yet - but it seems a very interesting development of FSX, and this is definitely a good thing for developers."

I have been away from FSX for a few months but with new computer am slowing getting back into things.

One aspect of the F-35C when in approach config - the AoA ladder in HUD goes OFF the screen - is there anyway to cage the HUD?

T-45 V2.30 out on Flightsim:

This package contains an entirely new visual model, with self shadowing, bump mapping and hi-res textures, working virtual cockpit, 3D gauges and reasonably accurate flight model. Includes custom HUD by Jivko Rusev and Scott Printz, sound package by Serge Lsa, and improved flight dynamics by Tom Falley. Designed by Dino Cattaneo. (Previous version had 2153 downloads)

F-35 Freeware version released!



I have changed my plans and released the freeware F-35 before the F-14D... The reason is that the F-14D Beta need more work than I though to make it a more meaningful release, and, well, I am not in the right mood to go through the tedious process of writing the missing code right now.
On the other hand, I've made several minor updates to the F-35, and I prefer to release it now. So here we go.

Version 2.10 – FREEWARE RELEASE
December 30th 2012 – CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSION:
Minor changes to .air files, less drag at transonic and supersonic speeds (to bring behavior closer to lates official claims)
Slightly reduced A/B thrust for B version (as in the real thing, B version has a different nozzle design)
Removed MFD and wide cockpit screens, unused by most users
Solved autothrottle bug (unable to engage A/T due to missing A/T arm flag in aircraft.cfg)
Fixed event firing bug in HMD code
Added specific inner bay doors animation to F-35B (inner doors open while hovering to improve lift, as in the real thing)
Fixed pilot animations in F-35B model
Added miscellaneous external views
Fixed pan rate for external views
Added custom sound package, courtesy of Serge Luzin
Changed hovering mode weight limit to 40600lbs (was 42000) according to the latest official data
Removed .exe installer, now manual installation is required
NOTE: FROM THIS RELEASE (2.10) ONWARDS THE LICENCE IS CHANGED TO FREEWARE:USAGE IS FREE, AND YOU ARE NOW FREE TO COPY THIS SOFTWARE, HOWEVER ANY MODIFICATION OR ALTERATION OF THE FILES IS STILL PROHIBITED.

It can be downloaded from the link on the side bar. Will be uploaded to avsim later on. Have fun!

Thanks Orion. I am happy I bought this plane earlier and had a lot of fun with it. Dino is a very generous person and does fantastic work which he shares with passion. Can't wait for the new F-14.
Happy New Year,

Johan

Thats awsome, Dinos a legend I wonder if he is interested later on in making it weaponised with Tacpac? Only problem is it would own everything since its RCS is so small.(it would piss off alot of Superbug pilots lol)

[SUBS17]

Just took the F35C for a flight what an awesome addon, now if only Dino had the Tacpac SDK.

[Victory103]

And you trapped the "C" model on the boat??? Kidding, not a fan of the RW aircraft, but huge fan of Dino's models, so just downloaded it and will start with the USAF "A" model at Edwards AFB.
