well folks..I ran out of polys on my FS9 version of this plane and thought to myself,why not forgoe the poly count and make a nice one for FSX. Especially since I finally upgraded my rig to run FSX nicely. :amen:

This has been a fun learning experience for me thus far and I hope to have her done in a month or so. That is if I can ever get my Tach needle to function properly...lol

Hope you dig the pics.:ernae:

Is this the same Albatros that dwaglik was showing from before?

An FSX version of the Jenny, a Dr1, a Brisfit, and now Albatros(es), starting to look like OFF :)
 
The Albatross D series was one of the most beautiful and graceful aircraft of it's era IMHO. Baron, you've done justice to it magnificiently!! :applause::applause:

I'll certainly be joining the queue for it once it's out.

Nope m8, the Austro-Hungarian Albatross that Lukasz is involved with is quite different actually.

Thanks for checking it out too folks. I finally got my Tach needle to work properly after several rebuilds.....Yippeee!!!!!!!!! Thanks Bill for warning me about FSX Gmax not taking animations at times...lol :D

Cheers

looks like the same level of excellence as the neoqb Fokker - I am a huge fan of the WWI kites
 
Hey Blutwurscht,

looking good...!!!
Just a question - did the wheeled Albatross have the large chord lower wing at one time? So far I have seen that wing on a float version only, and that in connection with a less swept elevator fin.

Whatever the case, I love your project and can't wait to see it finished :jump:
Those german WW1 always had the craziest paint schemes, hard to believe the "stiff" authorities let them get away with this kind of extravagance. I've seen one that was entirely covered in a black & white checkerboard pattern - I love it!!!

Cheers,
Norm

Thanks Norm. The Albatross DI,DII,and W4(Naval floatplane) all had the wide chord lower wing. The narrow chord was introduced on the DIII.

Thanks again for the compliments folks. It's progressing rapidly now that my coding all works.. :D

Cheers
Randy
