Waiting for further informations about the power and condition levers. Some days ago I saw a RC-12 Guardrail, a SIGINT special electronicm mission aircraft, fully equipted with tons of sensors and antennas. The idea of a Guardrail Trainer was born. After some hours later, exterior model is finished.

Nice work, but I was expected a bush fly version for short airstrips

This is the ultimate bush flying version exactly for short airstrips (think of the drag). After the seats, there is next to all the spy and communication electronics very small room for a hunting rifle or a fishing rod...

... and the best, with this bird, you can open the eyes of other pilots and female pilots who wants to meet you in the bush (for fishing or hunting, of course!). For sure. :adoration:

Thomas

Don´t worry about normal nice bush flying versions - with normal or big wheels, ambhibium etc. The thrust reverse is working great. But before going to final and model the normal versions, I have to find solutions for very specific power and condition levers handling.
 
I'd still try to write at least some pseudocode in XML for you, but without knowing how these controls work on the real thing, I can't do much.
 
Hey Bjoern, yes you right, I hope I can phone with a real Mark 2 driver this thursday evening. We will see. Will inform you. This is the last very important point on my list of Mark 2...

Nothing new - tried out the first time a glass cockpit with G1000 for the mil version. I got a lot of trouble with airspeed indication. Perhaps it is not worth to work on it further...

I am working on Mark 1 V3 with new airfiles and realistic turbine engine behavior. I have to do this before - work will flow later into Mark 2. Than I will finish Mark 2. With custom 6-seater, camera, amphib, cargo and skydiver versions...

V3? Didnt see any info about it. Thx! :applause:
 
Are you going to include that Guardrail-style model in the next release? I really like it, and would love to have that around the sim.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Fly that thing in some mod ice and report your findings!

LOL. I actually saw a lot of pics of icing testing on a model forum (sorry for the off topic, but your comment reminded me of this). IIRC they included the C-12 and RC-12. They dyed the water and a CH-47 would spray in front of the aircraft. They would watch the rime ice and how it would build up on the machine. Really neat stuff.

Now, back to the Mark 2! Daddy needs a Rolls powered Cessna!
 
Work is going on. First WIP picture of sky diving version...

Update details of project will come the next days.

Okay Thomas, I didn't want to give in so easily, but......I'll take what you have now.....since you are twisting my arm.

Really though, I am looking forward to the Mk2 for the better visibility over the nose.
Let me know if you would like me and the other guy to check out systems and such either before or after your release. Looking forward to it!
 
Now I have time to say some words about process. Modelling work of Mark 2 is on schedule. You will get several models of Skydiving, Amphibium, Custom, Flir/Observer/Police, Tundra versions. With 3- or 5-blade propellers. All models will be ready for suites like F1 GTN, RXP Garmins or Bendix KLN-90B etc. The same like Mark 1.

New is Alexander Metzger, who made in the last months a very, very great job of creating fully new airfiles for Mark 1. They will come with the announced Mark1 V3 update first. His work on Mark 1 will be integrated in Mark 2 with the changes of different Rolls-Royce turbine. All models will have different flying characteristics. E.g. you will "feel" the difference of tundra wheel to a custom wheel version.
