Acwai Westland Whirlwind has been released!

Love this model, bought her years ago when she was payware. Beautiful.

My only TINY gripe was the modelled in white nav light above the canopy.

AcWai,

As long as this has the original documentation from Classic Wings, if needed, we should be good. Looking forward to it, nice work!

That is not the nav light, it is the rear view mirror. It is too bad that Microsoft did not model the rear view mirror but included a separate window for rear view.

This aircraft has been upgraded with a new pilot, new propeller, animated British style VC control stick and other changes.

The air file and DP file have been rewritten. The sound files are not included but can be downloaded from simviation.
 
Sorry AcWai, just saw your PM, need to get into the habit of checking notifications. Couldn't send a reply because your mailbox is full. Send the file if it's not too late. Nice model by the way.:encouragement:
 
Special thanks to rince33 for helping me with the cockpit panel. I will wait until after this weekend to upload it, I am trying to see if there are any more changes that need to be made.

Here are some screen shots of the cockpit.
 
The aircraft has been uploaded to the wrong section. It is currently uploaded to the British Skin section. I have sent Rami an email to move it.

Special thanks to Mike Zola for sending me some of the gauges, but we don't know the authors for these gauges. I hope they don't mind. If anyone know the author, please send me an email.

VHE are the letters on the fuselage. I will need Phanis to answer that question, he painted it.

LOL! Okay. Thanks Andrew. I just wasn't paying close enough attention. Didn't notice the letters on the fuselage. That's fine.

Cheers,
MR
