Alphasim HU-16 Albatross preview (WIP)

Should be soon, but as with everything at the 11th hour I get routed to work on other things. Then it's my fault when the original project isn't done..

Anyway, should be soon- the HU-16 just has gauge coding to be done then it's airworthy.
 
Looking very good, if a bit on the worn side. Colour looks nice. Is the final shaping of the nose radome completed? I think it looks a bit on the fat side where it joins the lower fuselage?

Looking fwd to this,

thanks
 
It probably is final, though I'll see what I can do for you :) The model was never intended for that sort of modification and it's quite awkward and difficult to do it without upsetting mapping and so on.

I like the wear on the HAF one, it suits the photos etc. Though if demand exists I can add a non-weathered version in.

Not to worry Dan, I am just happy you made the mods for the ASW and keep the weathering, by all means. The radome has a complex shape and don't do anything that will upset the model mapping.

Thanks
 
If there is still gauge coding to be done...

...I'd be surprised to see it released by this weekend....

UGH.

Kent

P.S. Thanks Dan for your work on this baby...
 
I'm trying, but the odds are against me.

2 days is not a short amount of time to get a bunch of gauges coded though.
 
Indeed, errors would be present, people would complain, and I'd get sacked.. wait a minute!

I've been tasked to other things again today so I don't know how I'm going to get it done for tomorrow. Regardless there will be new screenshots before the weekend.
 
Looks like...

...no HU-16 for the weekend...Rats!

Ah well, hopefully it's like wine-- just gets better with age.

Kent
 
Believe me - it's worth the wait, this model will be spectacular.
I can't wait to get a copy myself!!!:applause:

The Goon:kilroy:
 
I don't doubt it...

...one bit! My problem is I only have a week at home before I hit the road again, and I was hoping to get some time in flying this baby!

Kent
 
And the silence on the HU-16...

...is deafening.

C'mon guys, let's crank it up and get it done....we need this thing out the door!

Kent
 
Kent, you're gonna have to learn to live with the fact that you're not going to get it in time I fear. Life sucks then you die. ;)

Anyways, isn't anticipation a drug as well? We all know we look forward to it and then once we have it it just becomes another plane in the hangar...god my motivational speech skill is lacking today isn't it.:friday:
 
Hey Mithrin...

...very eloquently put regarding motivation! Yeah, I would buy the "patience is a virtue" argument, but this eh...**stuff** seems to keep happening with increasing frequency.

As I said earlier...at least Dan is shedding some much-needed light on a portion of the industry where lightbulbs have apparently been outlawed. :applause:

Dan will be out of commission for the next few days. I don't know if he will be able to post on the forum let alone work on a project for a company hes not employed by anymore. Please be patient and let Dan do what he needs to in real life. I'm pretty sure he will finish the 'tross when he has a chance.

:engel016:
 
Thanks for the reminder...

...I forgot Dan is also in the middle of a very real-world relocation!

good point...still want the 'Tross!

Kent
 
IT's all done now, but I need a day or two to hand it over.

Maybe end of the week but as other's have said, it's not my priority at the mo!
