There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Attached is a responsibility list for project phases.
Congratulations to all who have completed their parts.
Nigel created some awesome sounds for the radials and the best turboprop sounds I have ever flown for this size engine. Very enjoyable and not irritating like those pesky KA350 sounds. YOu can fly these TP sounds for hours and not get tired of them.
He also stepped up to do the S2F-3 search light, and modified the startup effects and squeeky brakes effects.
Fliger has about finalized (for beta testing) most of the FM's in FSX and is tweeking for FS9. This was a much taller order than originally expected. Thank you Tom.
Smoothie has completed the paint kit for the E-1B while wrestling with his computer causing some restarts in the efforts. Thank you.
Javis created the awesome Pilot / Co-Pilot team, all modifiable for different era dress-wear. The animations are the best I have seen.
Marcel "mgr" has completed (well, almost) two awesome C-1A textures and is testing the paint kit now. "Salutus!"
Gaucho_59 did some very nice interior textures for the C-1A. Makes you feel right at home there in the cabin. Thank you Sir!
I just completed the 7th model and am now in review and fix mode for all models.
Sieggie completed a temporary panel gauge arrangement for use with the radial bunch until the final panel gauge set shows up. After some minor tweeks and a "readme" to provide credits, I think we can share a few things here soon as a preliminary beta.
So, after 3.5 months, we have come a long way thanks to these folks and all of you who contributed behind the scenes and in these forums.
Thank you all so much. It is great fun!

Are these now setup as static aircraft?
Must kill frame rates?

Well, real life does go on despite our complaints from the virtual world here.
There is some tweaking going on here and there, people with little hammers late at night tap-tap-tapping to finalize some things, a temporary panel set-up by Sieggie to allow us to get these aircraft out-the-door to you, and Tom with some last minute tweaks to the FS9 air files.
Meanwhile, with all the interest expressed, I am curious if anyone has grabbed the E-1B paint kit and gotten started there. If so, let me know and I will send you a download link to the WIP package.
Also, Matt is working on the paint kit for the S2Turbo military variant (like an S2F-3 with TP engines), tankerguy72 will hopefully share his artwork for the S2A-CDF, S2T-CDF open nacelle and S2A-CDF closed nacelle variants.
The radial and TP sounds and effects are completed; thank you Nigel for this awesome collection of mood enhancers.
The S2F-1 work has begun with Jan Visser at the helm.
We need some artwork for the generic interiors of the S2F-3, E-1B, S-2T, and S2A. Theres just walls and floors barely visible needing to be dark and non-distinct. Otherwise, I will throw on a bucket of paint standing from the cockpit door and leave it that way. Not a big deal.

...effects are completed
midnight; Tap, tap, tap Ouch! Tap, tap, tap!..Hello Milton Sir, oh is that hot coffee? Don't mind if I do!
Uuum, pardon the correction Sir; SOHTanker_water/fire-retardant_fx uploaded to you by tomorrow Sir. :salute:
LOL Yes, sorry, forgot about that special effect. Thank you for that!

Pleasure Sir! That's quite alright, I understand you certainly have a lot going on right now! :salute: Now, more of that coffee I think.
Or you could ask Mr.Bean. ( bucket of paint plus large fire-cracker
) If you ask me i'll have some photoreal leather padding on offer to go beneath the side windows, like this : http://www.airliners.net/photo/KLM---Royal/Grumman-US-2N-Tracker/1237793/L/
I think i could fill in the cockpit paint too. If you think that'll suit all cockpits for the time being i'll deliver the 2048x2048 version of 'cockpit.bmp' with the filled in details.
Cheers,
Jan
