Cr1 Aeronca adjustments as suggested

[Thomas J Wood]

Ok so I made a few adjustment as you asked for, they were on my list but I like that you guys asked any ways!


1st I put in some real vintage old gauges.
2nd I put in scratchy glass.
3rd made the seat look better.
4th Fix the starter switch so its easier to get to.
5th Made tape and stitching.


Now on the stitching Im trying to see it is as on each wing section across the wing or just along roots of the wings/stabilizers and Vertical stabilizer. Body edges and stuff like that. Ugly wood knob is gone now as well so don't worry over that.

There are three gauges sets going in this as they are so many models in the release. You will get this gauge set. a newer set from the 60's 70's and a set in the trike model that is modern and up to date. The way the add-on is set up when you get it is just unzip the vc parts and gauges and you can put them any where you want in any model, but I will set them in a default way for distribution. Do worry I will include instructions on how to move the assets to where ever you want. And a feature we haven't discussed yet.

Let me know about anything else!

Thanks!!

Thanks for the updates- I would really like to see a center mount gas cap with float indicator forward of the windshield- that's where my Champ had it... none of this newfangled fuel gauge stuff for me

If possible- PBR would be most appreciated INSIDE the VC where I would see it most.

PS- an L-16 Easter Egg would be quite wonderful

I'll second that.


After reading in the original thread on these Champs that the originals worked in P3Dv4, which I hadn't tried, yet, I loaded mine and was amazed at the beauty from the outside. Then, I climbed in. My dash had all these neat instruments, with working needles, but... No dial faces! Except for the compass, I had to guess at the others. Starter switch? Never found it. Ctrl+E worked. Flying it was a dream. Sedona to Flagstaff was a nice, peaceful flight. Using the compass, and a map, got me there in less than a half hour. Can't wait for one with instruments I can read. Looking forward to these, Tom.

That's good news! If you get the opportunity to showcase the Champ in screenshots or video, none would be more pleased than I.
