Hello Ivan,
Whatever. We can leave it if you want.
As I am no longer uploading the P39D-2, I thought there wouldn´t be any point in keeping the thread, but as you wish.
What I still can´t understand is why you didn´t make it clear from the very beginning,
that you weren´t quite happy if we both worked on the same AFX, even if our reasons were different.
You actually seemed to welcome the idea, which makes it even stranger.
Hello Rami,
Well, then it won´t be necessary to delete this thread after all.
Thanks for your attention anyway.
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp

Hello Aleatorylamp,
I really don't have any objection to you working on the same AFX. If I did, I would not have attempted to help you at all.
What you may not remember is that well before I started the "Airacobra" Thread, I contacted you via Email and asked you not to bring discussions of editing this AFX into the new thread.
It didn't take you very long before you forgot our agreement and did that anyway. That was really rather annoying....

I also told you back on this post what my intent was regarding this project.

Go back and read through this thread and see how many "Oh Dear!" and "That is Not what I stated" comments there are.
As I see it, you are quite careless and unobservant when reading and working with that gets to be quite frustrating which is something I have tried to avoid saying directly for a very long time.

Change in plans.
Hello all!
Yesterday, I found a backup file of my improved 1998 Airacobra AFX by Eric Johnson, on an old fall-back
computer I´d forgotten about, dated 4th August, and thought that it seemed a pity to waste all the time
and effort, not only my own at that, that this work had entailed.
Thus, I changed my mind about not uploading the model, and proceeded to repeat the numerous minor
improvements and corrections I´d undertaken after that date, with the exception of the fuselage-width
correction, which not only proved unnecessary, but also counter-productive, as the fuselage width dimensions
at the fore and aft cabin were indeed correct.
Only the slight bulge in the centre was 0.8 inches short on each side, because I had chosen, for building reasons,
to maintain the sides straight, so as to avoid errors with the wing-root and some glue templates.
Despite my bad memory, I think I completed all the necessary corrections, mostly on flaps/wheel-wells, propeller/nose
and some hairline cracks at the aft wing-root and the tail fin.
I even eliminated one bad bleed that I hadn´t managed before, involving the canopy-glass and the cabin-floor, which
was corrected by increasing the slant on the canopy glass/frame inclined glue-template. Then, there is now a small
fin-fillet, at the fin-base on the fuselage back, and the pilot moves his head with the rudder.
So, fortunately, after re-SCASMing for the Virtual Cockpit View correction, the model has come out quite nicely, and
I have just uploaded it. Once approved, it will be available at:
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...id=19&id=24452
Enjoy!
