$20, gee, I wonder if this model is as butchered as the 300s was when it comes to applying paint to it? I'm skeptical.
To me, the ability to paint it is half my interest. 2/3rd's even!
 
and she hurts the FPS some.....I've converted the textures to DDS3 format to help some.....must be alot of poly here.
 
I noticed how the doors are not flush with the aircraft. Is that normal on some of these old aircraft?
 
If you have never actually seen a Waco then i suggest you do some research before moaning about this product! It aint a stearman, it aint a tiger moth, its not of that eara. It may look old but having had the pleasure of working next to a RW distributor for 4 days i realised all my preconcived notions about a waco were completely wrong.

Look at the sales pitch!

OMG...look at the pic of the cockpit with full LCD displays. LOL
 
Is it just me or does the trim not function at all? I can go to opposite extremes with regards to the trim wheel and get the same effect.....constant pitching up.


I have to hold the stick forward to keepo the nose down.

*EDIT* Nevermind. It looks like my stick lost calibration. Wonder how that happened. *Stares at 4 yr old copilot*
 
Very nicely done plane :) Great job on the FDE Bernt:salute: It handles like I imagined it would, kind of like the Golden Age Sim Waco ASO...just a big comfortable cruiser, kind of like a Honda Goldwing or Harley Electra Glide or somthing. This is great, now I have this YMF for my modern Waco, along side my favorite ASO for my vintage Waco...then with the CTO, which is the agile aerobatic Waco. :mixedsmi: I like my WACOs...kind of prefer them to the Stearmans for some reason.

Just some minor gauge issues that I can tell. The clock 'mode' doesn't work...I assume it switches between local and zulu. Wouldn't mind seeing the timer functions or at least the timer mode functions work on the transponder :)

I can't seem to find much in the way of documentation such as POH or checklists. I am just going by what I learned flying the GAS Wacos for power settings and speeds and seems to work fine.

Cheers

No paintkits that I can see. There are blank white textures like usual Carenado releases. You have to use your paint program, then duplicate the blank textures as multiply layers. That way you can usually paint under the rivet and panel lines pretty well.

Thanks for the advice TJ. I admire you guys who do that. I find using a proper kit annoying enough! LOL

No need for that. Just paint over the blank texture and switch paint layer blend mode to color burn. And behold, the magic happens:mixedsmi:

Example using Alabeo c188
