Coming to FSX S-2A Tracker

[tankerguy72]

Heres a preview of the FSX conversion for Milton's Grumman S-2A Tracker. Working on brand new exterior textures then I will move inside on the VC.

I really regret turning down a chance to ride in a S-2 once at Pax in the early 70s. Am looking forward to this one! NC

 

[mjrhealth]

This is one I am definitly waiting on

 

[tankerguy72]

Glad to see the interest

I have many many walk around photos so trying to get the details perfect. Here are some shots of the wing work

Tankerguy...great work...i just love those CDF tankers.i miss the sound of the radials..but i also like the sound of the turbans as well.im fickle i know..lol...what color were the old S2's ?...

 

[tankerguy72]

I miss the radials as well. Not too much of a fan of the turbo trackers but thats all we have now so.... haha. The first Trackers were green and ill be adding one of those to the release package when I finish up.

 

[Daveroo]

well cool..thats an ugly color,but i miss seeing them.

Getting Fuselage details laid out

Hopefully, there will be some US Navy paints of this model.

 

[heywooood]

CDF also operates out of Ramona airport in So Cal so this will be a great addon to go with the new FTX release.
heres hoping FTX will offer a super detailed Ramona addon down the road

 

[Daveroo]

just a question/request?..would it be possible to do Joe "Hoser" Satrapa's T-89 out of Grass Valley?

 

[tankerguy72]

There is a FSX S2F-1 (Navy version) already available in the library here.

Yeah I'm hoping Orbx will do Hemet or Ramona for their SoCal scenery.

Hoser flies 89 which is the S2T. If all goes well with this version I'll work on converting the T model.

 

[Daveroo]

but wasnt Hoser flying t-89 before the change to the S2T?..i thought he was..i might be wrong...i usually am...just ask my dad................

I looked in the library for FSX S2F-1 and it did not find one/any. Is this a FSX version?

 

[tankerguy72]

Hmm I can't recall seeing the 89 number on an A model. I'll have to go through my records.

It's in there. I'll link you when I get home.
