It does have a third person view. I'll try to make another video in a few days on slower hardware that shows off some more features as well as some limitations.@tokenalt BTW, did 1.5 have a way to switch to a third-person view, so that you could see the plane in-flight? Or was it limited to just the view from the cockpit?
Thanks - this is something I'm definitely looking forward to seeing.It does have a third person view. I'll try to make another video in a few days on slower hardware that shows off some more features as well as some limitations.

Calling “version” on my SS1+ (which refuses to boot anything) reports Version 1.3 Release 4, according to my notes. It’s a little under a pile right now but I can dig it up. Do you know what kind of ROM IC it uses? I have a TL866 ROM programmer that can do a dump.
I honestly would like a 2.x ROM so I could run a TurboGX card…

I think you're out of luck cause the 1+ is the only machine I can't find a 2.x rom for. But that machine should run sunos 4.0.3c fine.

Yeah, I found a reference to a service kit to upgrade to 2.x but I never found a dump of the ROM.
I’ll try to fish the SS1+ out this week and dump the rom to see if it’s of any use for this flight simulator quest.
actually, you don't strictly need a version 1 .X OBP to run SunOS 4.0. There is some documented OBP magic you can use to enable 1.X compatibility on a 2.X OBP version. It is pretty much just an environment variable (that I currently forgot...).
leadedsolder has posted confirmation that it's the SS1+.Does anyone know the answer to leadedsolder's question - which ROM IC "it" uses? I don't know if the "it" they're asking about is their SS1+ or about @tokenalt's Sun 4C,
An update of sorts about the second video. One of the features I wanted to show was the networked game play which was complicated by the fact I only have one hdd for sunos so I had to set up a netboot server. Unfortunately for reasons I don't understand both of my ss10 will panic a few minutes after netbooting sunos so things are stalled on that end for now. In other news I tried running aviator 1.2 on my 3/80 which does not have a cgsix and it worked well enough to tell me I needed a cgsix which I suppose is a good sign. So does anyone know where I can get p4 framebuffers for a reasonable price?
There was actually two 3/80s on ebay last month and in the last two years there has been a 3/50, 3/60, 3/280, 4/110 and a 4/330. There was also two broken mg4 and a cg4. So they're out there you just search hard and get lucky.Even sun3/80's are hard to find. I haven't seen a pre-sparc sun for sale in a long time.
I didnt see those. I'm surprised someone dropped $500 on one.There was actually two 3/80s on ebay last month and in the last two years there has been a 3/50, 3/60, 3/280, 4/110 and a 4/330. There was also two broken mg4 and a cg4. So they're out there you just search hard and get lucky.
