A Lockheed "Rounder"

[Milton Shupe]

Hey Milton

Hey Pete, long time, no see. Great to see you here. Interesting to have 3 RW Dash 7 pilots on this forum.

I'll be happy to include you in the testing, both the military variant and the tankers. Same for the Dash 7's. Hope your situation improves quickly.

sorry guys, been bed-ridden (still partially am) since Sunday evening... got a heck of a cold/flu going on, the cold/flu doesn't bug me but the headaches... oh man, borderline migrane...

will get it done at all costs, 48hr rush on it if i have to... and you know i ain't gonna take "rest up" as the answer, i'll be flat out

Matt, are you okay? Have you conquered that bug?

 

[Milton Shupe]

Aha!

I spy a kindred spirit!

Those are precisely the versions I'm angling for Paul.

So may I be outlandishly presumptuous and guess the, THE...
surely, it can be no other version of the Lockheed Harpoon than the...

He 111...there, I've said it.

So, Please, please, PLEASE Milton - be a good sport and give us this particular version of the Harpoon (a little advice: its ever so easy, just chop off whatever is 6 rivets forward of the leading edge and then just weld on a glass cone.


Lockheed Harpoon - Me 110 variant anyone?

Oh heck guys, where'd yo'l go sa fast...

Ah yes, the "Z" does look doable. :salute:

Matt is out of the country until November 17th so the textures are on hold.

Meanwhile, I have sent the the models and the UVW mapping texture templates to "ferondoe" to get a parallel texturing operation going.

Aside from that, I am working with Nigel on the Avia57, Mike Kelly on the Dash 7 variants cargo and interior goodies, and with Duckie on the XP47H model getting her ready for textures. Great progress on all fronts.

Wow Milton! I don't know about you, but I'm loving your "retirement."

 

[fliger747]

This one will be a real classic, already in development and testing it is a favorite! Sadly just not a carrier aircraft, but it is fun to dodge in and out of the clouds looking for the fleet.

Did mention that I've put some carriers and battleships in and around the Aleutians to hunt down?

Wow Milton! I don't know about you, but I'm loving your "retirement."

LOL Me too!

Willy:

In FSX the dang things move around!

 

[Willy]

That's okay, give a day or two and I'll have forgotten where I put them! :d

Thanks Milton been laying flat on my back for a couple months now the only thing keeping me sane is playing around with a 10 year old laptop with a new install of cfs2 I forgot how little hard drive space it takes to add aircraft and scenery on this old game so I'm loading it up to the hilt and having a ball...Very cool that we have some other RW Dash drivers out there. I'm wondering if they've lost half their hearing in their left ear like me after 30 years of flying props.

Lol.
This is valuable input Gentlemen - we'll suitably adjust the decibel levels and panning for the new soundset to make you guys feel at home.

"DID SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING?"

this is a regular cause of a few arguments in the house here, to the point where i've actually been banned from flying certain types (Avro Vulcan and VC-10 to name a couple) even with the headphones on, if it ain't loud it ain't a proper aircraft engine... should be back into the Harpoon cockpit today, had a much needed break after my Doc once again told me to take things easier, i almost asked him what 'easier' meant...
