Keeping this one alive until Warrant can make it back in to give us some direction on swapping gauges and anything else he's done that we haven't figured out.

In the mean time: Things I did to enhance the Tweet's "In-Sim" appearance. . . .
Lightened the alpha on all external skins to about 10% gray (external was way too shiny and washed out looking)
Saved "all" textures to 32bit (hey, it couldn't hurt)
(Personal Pref. Here) Kept only the Texas liveries and the Camo
Darkened all the exterior skins for the Camo version by about 15%
(This one had no alpha, but was still too washed out for my taste).
 
Hopefully this will get airborne in time but the prognosis os not great. I wonder if and when it happens, will there be any issues over publishing the changes? The author clearly has no interest in the a/c any more, he has a note on the website that states it is no longer for sale and the forum has been disabled. Flight 1 from what I can see no longer support it other than issuing renew keys, but I saw no mention of it on their website other from the search box which took me to the authors website.

The only thing I remember about the guys who came up with the Tweet was that it was originally developed to help them with UPT Training. One or both of them were going through Pilot Training in the AF and it was built to help them "off hours" to work on things they had done in the air during the day. Going back over procedures and maneuvers in the off hours was giving them extra time in a simulator that was invaluable. I also seem to remember that at least one of them intended to fly "Heavies" after graduation (C-5 or C-17). They could still be in the AF and flying those types would narrow down the number of bases they could be assigned to. Still, trying to track either of them down would be a pretty daunting task.

I'm not really concerned at all about releasing anything I've done, but I haven't done anything that anyone couldn't do on their own anyway, so my changes are nothing amazing. Warrant is the one I want to hear from since the gauges are the main sticking point. It appears that for the time being, "If" you are able to get the Tweet started, the cardinal rule is "Do not switch to the 2D panel "ever". If you do, the Tweet shuts down and it will not restart until you reload the airplane and restart it in VC mode. Stay out of the 2D.
 
Just an update: Capt. Hernan Orellana was promoted to Major as of October of last year, so he's still in the system and I'll continue to see if I can locate a good e-mail or base for him.

I deleted every bit of the 2D panel stuff from the panel folder, and took care of that issue.

Yep, the obvious solution Bone. I'll be doing that at lunch. I'm also going to visit a local museum dedicated to the base I was stationed at back in the 60's. They have a T-37 there that I'm going to take close-ups of to replace some of the fuzzy areas on the VC.
 
::chuckles:; I am SO jealous of you folks.. I love the Tweet, but could never afford it and now its gone.. ::sigh:; oh well.. please do keep posting images and stories :)..

Hey Ed, I realize it's the painters discretion on what work they'll do, but have you ever given thought to repainting that S. Vietnamese camo into a USAF scheme?

Or, a European camo scheme?

Just thought I'd ask, no pressure whatsoever. :)
 
Kinda gave it thought a few days ago, thinking about doing one of the Squadron I was attached to in Nam. What I need to do first though is do a detailed paint kit and then go from there. I am not at all adept at photoreal skinning so it would have to be hand painted.

Unless someone already has a paint kit (which I doubt, as I've never seen any repaints for the T-37), I'll start on mine straight away.:salute:
 
Thanks, after installing, I think I'll continue with my own layered paint kit. I don't care for the way that one is done.:salute:
