So, I finally started to twiddle with this one. I can get better rudder authority, but it's always opposite what it should be. Any thoughts?

Don't know what you've had to change, but perhaps there's a value that could have a minus sign in front of, alternatively the flyer could always flip the control sense in the control settings when flying this aircraft.

My very first repaint(don't laugh too hard!). I decided that I wanted a "whitewash" look for the Ski-Yak over the stock green paint and wanted it to be a rather ugly field expedient white paint whitewash that could have been painted by a broom, or mop or other crude brush. Anyhow, I'm still tinkering with it before I decide on whether to release it or not.

Well I hope you do release it:ernae:


I'd like to see a few more repaints for this model if anyone's up for it. Interestingly there are no alphas in any of the texture files so shine and transparency must be in the model. I wish we had a "Shine" utility for FsX so it could be matted down and add alphas to suit the scheme.

If you are using FSUIPC, you can easily make a plane specific profile and then reverse rudder when calibrating rudder axis.

Very Nice Gift for the Hoildays a Big Thank You to SWingman and Team :applause::applause::applause:

and your paint looks like it was made for her...please release
 
Thanks everyone! I emailed Swingman to make sure it's okay to upload this paint simply because the base paint belongs to them and I just want to be on the safe side even though I'm sure they will be okay with it. I finished and packaged it so it's ready to go. I did get the exhaust stains evened out but decided not to drag them down past the cowling as if the whitewash was fairly fresh and the application was done around the cowling exhaust stains/burns and covered up on the fuselage past the cowling/fuselage joint. I also left the canopy frames green per personal taste and figuring that many field expedient paints probably avoided getting paint near the glazed areas. Anyhow, will hopefully get it uploaded very soon.
 
I see StormILM's whitewash scheme is up in Add-ons Library and 3 new schemes by Bernhard. Thanks :ernae:

As it was told in this thread, its a beta version. At least I follow it very keenly now when its finished.

Well, I'm still very much interested, and hoping one day to see the final version completed for both FS9 and FSX.

Remember too, and this may not be the case with this airplane, but many aircraft have been released as beta models . . .and remained that way because the developer either lost interest in completing it, or real world requirements caused him to shelf any future projects. :salute:
 
I'm using A F Scrubs' Yak-52 .air file with this one. I now have proper rudder authority (changed rudder effectiveness to 0.001 in .cfg). Still working out the kinks. But at least it works and the visual matches.
