S2F and Willie Fudd

I want to thank all involved with recreating the fond aviation memories of my youth in the 60's. I remember seeing on one carrier that had the Willy Fudds, a drawing on the bulkhead near the
ready room where the Willy Fudd pilots would gather a nice drawing of an E1B and the letters spelling out "nay nay have no fear cause THE FUDDMAN is here" under that was a drawing of elmer fudd in flight helmet and suit. I think he had a cape on too.

Pretty cool. :engel016:
 
Just saw that there is a release of the S2A CDF tankers in the library! I sure was hoping to see these!!! Having lived in Southern California for the first 25 years of my life, I saw these flying over every summer! Quite a distinct sound they have, you would always know a tanker was flying over when you heard it. Saw them often parked at the airport in Ramona when flying in and out too! Thanks for making these!!! Now to find a fire to put out...
 
Thankyou Milton and crew

an out standing effort, im looking forward to your fsx native and paintkit

just one note is there any chance of green flight suits please?
 
Thanks for the comments everyone. :) This was a fun but challenging project.

Euroastar350 has asked to convert these aircraft to FSX native and I will be ready to turn them over to him by the weekend.

The excellent pilot and co-pilot figures were done by Jan Visser. Isn't the animation just awesome!

Jan set these up so you can paint the suits any color you want. Have fun. :)

Before there was email on ships, I remember soon after the COD landed, anxiously
awaiting hearing: "Now Mail Call, Mail Call" on the ships 1 MC. On one WestPac cruise (73/74), we use to have different
bugle calls (USS Ranger) in lieu of the bos'n pipe and the one for mail call we would sing "I gotta letter, I gotta
letter, youuu... gota post card!!!!"
 
There is a panel and aircraft.cfg update now available at:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=6&linkid=5350

This V.1 Update Applies to All Radial Based Aircraft Panels (E-1b, S2F-3, C-1A, S2ACDF, and S2ALCDF) and provides Manual Updates for All Aircraft.cfg Files.

It corrects issues with the Electrical Panel Lights controls, Radio Frequency changes, the Autopilot trim adjustments, and the missing ILS APR, BC, and NAV/GPS switches.
 
I have passed the gmax source for the Grumman aircraft over to euroastar who volunteered to do teh FSX native conversion.

Go euroastar! :jump: :applause:
 
im confused...is the FSX versions still to come?...or is this what we need to get now? and then add "fixes" for fsx later?

What is confusing about that? They will be standalone packages, Native packages.
 
Cool, native is always nice. As it is now looks and flies well in FSX!

Great news about the 'native' FSX versions as I have been salavating over this, almost made me want to re-install FS9! Thanks to all involved.
 
This is just great! The soundset is awsome. I cranked up the speakers and shook the windows. Added accu-feel last night which made the landings almost real! :jump:
