FSX S2F3 Stoof update

This looks great to me. Going to try the new FDE and contact point updates, but I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else thinks of it.

As for the shadows, I know what you mean about FSX doing "weird" things. Look at the strakes on the F/A-18 in different light and angles and the shadows will make it look like they aren't attached to the fuselage. But that happens and this Stoof is so much fun to fly I think everyone is going to love it.

Thanks for all the work you guys have done on it, because as much as I enjoy the port overs I think I'm stuck in this one for a while. :)

Nice pic Bruce.
 
She seems to be good to go for release. Just awaiting the latest docs from you, Milton. (according to George) Once we've got 'em, I'll build the installer.

Ah, my apologies. I had in my mind that I would do that once I received teh package (DUH!) LOL but the fact that you were doing the installer just did not sink in. Will knock that out and have it early Tuesday morning.

EDIT: Attaching updated text documents in next post. Modify as you wish to properly credit your work.
 
Updated Text Documents to Replace Existing

Here are the text documents for the Documentation folder. Replace the 3 current ones.

Modify as you wish to correct or supplement what I have stated.
 
No worries, Milton. Just wanted to make sure that people still had documentation to read somewhere, even after installation. (probably will be placed in the S2F3 aircraft folder...not really a better place!) Thanks! I'll get the installer built shortly. :salute:
 
Alright, Milton...the installer is created and all zipped up. Should I upload it, or would you prefer me send it your way for that? If you want me to upload it, what places are OK with you? (I take it the usual are fine, Simviation, AVSIM, FlightSim)

Of course, you may upload it as you wish. I usually do SOH first, then the others later to give SOH first pop at it, but use your discretion as sometimes SOH uploads take a while to show with all the library activity.

I would also like you to make the description prominent to include:

FSX Native and "Conversion by The Eagle Rotorcraft Simulations Team by Permission" or words of your choosing.

Thank you :)

Thanks Milton! I'll get it uploaded soon. :)
 
She has been uploaded to all major sites...just waiting approval. (not sure if the one at SimV went through...will upload again if it doesn't get approved within a few weeks)
 
Hello,

I'm very late to the Tracker party, but with Melbourne in FSX I had to get he Stoof myself. Is there any paintkit for the FSX version available? As far as I can see so is the FS9 and FSX textures different.
Have any Canadian repaints been released?
 
TACPAC Version

If any of you are interested and have TACPAC I collaborated with Corrado5834 from FSDeveloper and we released a TACPAC version with working bombs and rockets including an armament wizard with Milton's and Euro350's permissions. It can be found here but you must have a working copy of TACPAC. Since it uses their model all the textures are compatible.
 
Which model would you like me to use?

The plane in question is an SF2-1 with the radome on top and underneath removed and the capped engine nacelle's

The S2F-1 model has the top (and bottom) radome and the new model S2F-1 Engine nacelles (with a nose)
the S2F-3 has the chopped tall Engine nacelles and rounded wingtips
The FS2004 US-2A model is the closest, it's got the bombays, No Cargo door and the right engine nacelles. But I don't think an FSX Native model has been created for it yet, and the glass is really dark on the outside. I could attempt to upgrade the textures and see if that helps.
The C-1A Trader is probably the closest, it doesn't have the top radome and it's got the correct engine nacelles. But it's got the cargo doors on the side and windows for passengers and no radome slot underneath or bomb bay doors.

Edit: I was able to upgrade the texture for correct appearance in the US-2A model. I'm not sure what other issues there are with that model given it's not a "Native" FSX model, but it looks good and is closest in configuration to N8115M

N8115M Coming along

So I've got all the major stuff done, now I need to color all the little bits appropriately.
