There's Nothing Like Fresh Mesh ...

Well, with the Harpoons, Lodestars, Ventura, and Commander 685 now released, I am down to the Mallards, radial and turbprop remaining.

Our focus is to get the Mallard radial completed, mainly awaiting textures, and then on to wrap up the turboprop.

Real life and family always come first. No need to apologize. Good things will come to those who wait. :)
 
Is the Mallard going to have a 2D panel? I always like to fly 2D and notice the 685 was really made for VC flying. The 2D in the 685 is from the 500. Is the Mallard going to take the same route?

HI Mark,

The 685 uses the 500 2D panel for good reason. I have no panel gauge programmer and I am not a 2D panel artist. The 2D side was a "gift" from my 500 otherwise I would have done a screenshot of the VC and given you one basic 2D forward view without all the other popups.

That is what you will get in the FS9 Mallard, a basic 2D forward view, a screenshot of the VC with gauges.

Anyone here with the talent is welcome to come up with and share 2D panel setups for these aircraft; that's what community efforts are all about. :)

What is a good sound package for Mallard?
Click to expand...

I have not yet found nor searched for sounds.

The G-73 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Wasp ’*H" 600 H.P.
radial engines driving three-bladed Hamilton Standard
Hydromatic full feathering propellers.

Hopefully there are sounds available for this engine with a 3-bladed prop setup somewhere.

Thanks Milton. Would be great if someone with the skills could do this! I've tried many times to start flying VC in different aircraft but I just keep enjoying 2D more. Fantastic aircraft the 685 and thanks!
 
Rui insisted we provide better passenger entry/exit accommodations for the turboprop business version so I have that started, animated and working ... now for some texture mapping.

The unit waits for the door to open before moving into position.

And we have a new fancy fuselage support at the rear made from 1"x 3"s and plywood, a bit more modern than what we had. :)

Better slap some fancy paint on that too Rui.

Apologies to Wellis for borrowing his fuselage texture for this temporarily but I am so sick of those template colors. :)

Please feel free to use them as you will. have a couple more I'll share some screenshots here in a bit:untroubled:and love the entry accommodation, now I won't have to pull up a IS object
 
Two for the price of one!

Hi again,

here are a couple more "on-the-shelf" for the future. These depict Mallard G-73T (converted by Frakes of Texas), CN J-34 as she appeared in 1985 and 10 years later in '95. most of the photos available for this machine were taken in Scotland and England, where it was apparently a frequent visitor.

That is a very striking and sleet paint scheme wellis. Thank you for all your efforts on this one.

(Sorry, I thought I had responded to this back when you posted it.)
 
For those of you running FSX, the native FSX Mallard is now in beta testing so hopefully you will be seeing that one in the near future.

For the FS9 side, we are working on textures for the inside and outside. We hope to get this out by Christmas holidays.
