Hello Martin,
A true masterpiece. My congratulations!
It´s lovely to see so much detail.

Thanks for your good words Stephan, I'm happy and proud you like it

Hello Martin,

...and you can be!

One thing is to make a reasonably decent model in AF99, fighting the
limitations, and adding some SCASM, and quite another is to get oneself
into Gmax with any degree of success.

I tried at least 4 times in the last 15 years to get myself into Gmax,
to no avail. I never got beyond the tutorial.

Cheers,
Aleatorylamp

Wow! That is really looking good!

 

[UncleTgt]

awesome cockpit details

 

[Klein]

Thanks all for your good words

I worked this evening on the E. Hollocoombe Clift airspeed indicator



Stay some instruments to do to reproduce this panel



As to follow, cheers
Martin

This week's work: the altimeter up to 16 thousand feets, and the Mark III Worsnop switch box.





Badly I don't have any precise pict for the oil pressure gauge (panel's upper left) and the fuel quantity (under the windscreen, visible from a mirror). If someone could have picts from the Shuttlelworth, TVAL, or Brussel's Re8, it would be fine

Have a lovely week!
Martin

Great thanks Stephan and Wolfebee for your support, the pict is exactly what I searched, lovely

Have a nice week

Hello Happy Simmers
A few progress for this week, the VC needs now only a throttle on left side, the tank selector under the tank (just behind the panel), a starter on top right, a map to navigate on the free surface, and a new compass, I made tests to have my compass card moving with pitch and bank, for now with no success, but I keep on to search (any idea on how to do from a kind and clever builder?)



I saw recently on this forum people interesting with world war one sims, great things can be done with Combat Flight Simulator 2, perhaps an old sim, but with many possibilities Think about it!



Have all a nice week, cheers
Martin

Beautiful work Martin! The fuel gauge looking through the mirror effect is perfect.
I haven't seen any 3D gimbals in our sim.
Cheers,
Kevin

 

[aleatorylamp]

Absolutely amazing, Martin!
Cheers,

[Klein]

Thanks for your support Guys, I begin to really look forward to see it finished, and to start an other good project to share, Stephan.
Kevin, thanks for the good words on the fuel gauge mirrored. About the gimbals, it seems CFS2 can recognise such animation, in Stuart Green's Albatross and Pfalz the compass works pretty fine horizontally-stabilized in CFS2, but reproducing it is an other story

Cheers
Martin

 

[aleatorylamp]

OK, Martin. No hurry though!
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp

 

[Captain Kurt]

Great detail Martin. I can only aspire.

 

[Ravenna]

As always, great detail and lovely finish! Thanks Martin

 

[Klein]

Thanks for your good words chaps

 

[Klein]

Hello old crates fans!

The Re8 is close to the upload, the model is finished, stay the 2D panel and some slights set ups on gauges



The creagh Osborne compass reign now in the panel's center, showing the east for the next sortie



A rack set for a full bomb load is still to do, eight 20lbs cooper bombs under the wings, and a center 100lbs Royal Laboratory under the fuselage

A good week to all, cheers

Martin

 

[aleatorylamp]

Very nice progress indeed, Martin!
