• 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.

Outstanding!!!


That squadron became VMF-211 and, after the Battle of Wake Island, became the Wake Island Avengers.

 
The VC looks fantastic, Baz! Really looking forward to picking this one up when it is released.

For the rotary switch pointed to in section of screenshot I clipped below, the text above it (and function) is "Compass Light", as seen if you look closely in this photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/yesiwood/15027025278/sizes/k/

The text follows the same line of placement as the bottom two lines of text associated with the first two rotary switches.

 
That's a paint I did for the old AH F3F-2. I am also working on a 1/72 scale plastic model of the same aircraft.

Seriously folks, we are not far away now. We are testing, writing manuals and putting finishing touches to liveries, sounds and coding. We've also got a big thumping twin turboprop in the hangar needing some further work.:engel016:

Sounds good to me - Waiting patiently and smiling politely
 
For those of you who don't follow/look at our facebook page... Here's a shot of the 2d popup panel for the f3f. We came up with a different idea for the practice bombs.

I love the acrid smell of starter cartridge smoke in the morning. :engel016:

a nice presentation for your eyepoint utility - I assume that switching the 'bomb' setting to 'on' makes the under wing bombs visible....does it add weight or change the cog?
 
<insert "shut up and take my money" meme image here>

Awesome! Had your old one (FS2004?) and loved it.

Can't wait to fly this in P3D with the Oculus!
 
First test flight

We've made a couple of videos whilst testing. Turn up the volume!:engel016:

Videos show off the plane and the sound very well. :encouragement: Whatever color and specular values you've used for the aluminum paint, I think you've nailed it. I want to try the same combination on Paul Clawson's Northrop BT-1.
