thanks
Thank you for all your work. I had the opportunity 25 years ago at Fresno to climb all over their "Boneyard" of Stoofs and spent some time with my Nikon "in the days B4 digital" on the converted aircraft and talking with the Rangers. They were really nice. At that time my intention was to make a large scale RC C1A. Was out in Fresno to visit my Mom and Dad who are now gone but my sister and her family still live there. I don't know what is left there now. That was their spare parts store to keep the others going.
Will follow your thread here and patiently wait hoping that you can find the time. I know a lot of guys here who would also love a native FSX C1A as much as I would. Beautiful work.

I dont think there is anything left there now. That was the spare yard for Hemet Valley Flying Service back in the day. Would love to see any pictures you have.
Thank you Milton! I owe it all to you!

Hey OK
Thank you, just went over and found it. Thank you Euroastar350 too. I didn't realize that with the port over's textures, there is the NAS Alameda C1A COD. I am hoping that the model is the same so I can use those textures. Just downloaded it. Will take a look tomorrow.

PS Milton, thank you for all YOUR help in the past and the fantastic "7" Grummans.

Looks great TG!
And I'm assuming you'll learn a lot working on the S-2 that will speed up completion of the P2V...
Oh yes! Ive learned alot doing this conversion and the P2 will be alot better with new techniques Ive picked up

Wrapping up the left side gauge backgrounds. This cockpit is coming together nicely and its a fun learning experience while I still feel like im on the rookie level. I tried adding some glass to the instruments but I think im getting too much reflection on them. Here are some screen grabs

Pictures of the Stoofs at Fresno in 1984?
If I can find the envelopes of snapshots, I will see if they can be scanned digitally inexpensively and put them in my Photobucket for you to download. When we moved across country so much stuff went into storage. I may find them when we do the long procrastinated downsizing of the storage shed. I would like to have them that way myself. I lost a ton of my 1968 and 1970 cruise slides in a flood never to be retrieved. We got over 3 feet of water inside the house in the basement. People were in rowboats and canoes on the flooded streets. Fortunately both of my Cruise Books were upstairs high and dry but so many memories were drowned as well as the entire rec room furniture. Ah well, its only stuff. Boo Hoo. LOL

Did some more work on the Tracker. Modeled the rudder pedals and circuit breakers and added a few more things.

Still Looking
Wondering what happened to this...??? Please update release date. I know that there are S2T's in the Warbird Library and they are really nice...appreciate the efforts to make them but I like THIS ONE with the ol' radials.

Programming Gauges
I haven't done any in a while and only did them in XML but the guys over at FSDevelopers are a tremendous help anytime you are stuck. Waiting patiently. I know quality can't be rushed.

Tankerguy72 has been very busy of late so I took on some of the work to help this project move ahead. His work is just too good to leave in the back of a dusty ol' hangar.
After 3 weeks of working on it daily for many hours, we have made great progress inside and outside.
Still a few things to wrap up or improve upon, but this project has made great strides.
Here are a few screen shots; will post more in a bit.
