FSX: The 1940 Fokker T.5 bomber released

:D

For everyone: I created a tutorial last night, in the Blender section at FSDeveloper, about creating a fuselage with structure.

I did the copilot's panel. It's rather basic, with only an altimeter, two manifold gauges and an airspeed indicator. at the left some stuff for the electronics (the lower, ovalish thing is the socket for the heated flying suit

)

Next to the panel are the intercom and the control panel for the Munerelle oxygen system located.

Yep Cees, I'm enjoying a short break, also because I'm still having gaps in info. Tomorrow I'll visit the archives of the Aviodrome again, maybe I find new information.
 
I am simply speechless....!!!

Doubtless, one of the... if not the BEST... modeling efforts I've seen in a loooooooooooong time! Kudos!
Can't wait to see the final product...

Again, marvelous!

Thanks again guys!

After a short period, continued this project. This time on textures. I had a little info gap concerning the radios and as usual for me, gaps will drag the progress.

As I said, further detailing of the structure is done using textures. Seen here. I also changed the grey interior a bit, it's slightly lighter now but looks better IMHO.

I added some other textures to small objects as well. The window rims have gotten textures, to look better.

Next step will probably be the radio.

Cheerio!
 
Well, it's fun to do ;)

Textured a few other things today. What we see here is the "Verbandtasch voor vliegtuigen", which says in correct Dutch "Verbandtas voor vliegtuigen" and translated it says "First aid kit for airplanes".

Also textured the Labinal plafonnière. This lamp was an interior light, to aid the commander/navigator in this job. He couldn't switch the thing off and on though! The radio-operator in the back has the same kind of lamp as well and he was the only person who could switch off these lamps... At the right, there's a mechanical direction indicator (based on fantasy, thing is mentioned in docs but I don't have photographs of it).
verbandtasch_03.png


And the commander's table. It's a wooden table, I wanted to have a more colourful interior just than the basic grey, so decided to use unpainted wood. Not according to reality, I guess... Should have some weathering though, but that will come later...

Ok, clear I guess :D

Well, thanks to ao the guys of nederlandseluchtvaart.nl (http://www.nederlandseluchtvaart.nl.../fokker-t-5-radio-38362/index2.html#post63007), I was able to create the radio. This is a Telefunken sender-reciever unit. I'm not yet sure what the exact typenumbers of this station are, but the station itself has the Telefunken designation Stat. 1001bF. It's also known as the Holland station and was also used in the Dutch Navy Dornier Do24s.

Enough knobs and switches, IMHO. This station has a telegraphy function as well (not very surprisingly). Don't see a way to implement it in FS though, so I'll use the corresponding switch for avionics on/off.
 
Always loved this plane, as much as any rare and diverse warbird, and I'm learning quite a few things about it just following this thread.
Incredible attention to detail as well, wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see the screenshots.

Hats off! :applause:

Corrado

BTW: always loved the D.21 too, and your model is just stunning.
 
Thank you Corrado! Indeed a very rare warbird, only 16 ever built (including the prototype, which was converted to a series model after the testing period terminated).

These are the Amroh phone (intercom) panel and the Munerelle oxygen regulator. Every crewmember has one set of these. I will add a few hoses and wires later on.

In the nose section we find the Total fire extinguisher. I'm not sure about the 'label' but it looks nice. Again, every crewmember has one.

devs_02.png


This is where the signal gun was stored. The rounds are placed in the box at the left, with the cork covers.

The floors. According to documentation, the wooden floors were painted on the upper side with 'Rubbol AZ paint, color Linoleum'. Rather unclear IMHO, since Linoleum is available in various colors, so I guess they meant the basic color of Linoleum cement (a mixture of linol and natural resin). On photographs, the floors are slightly darker than other parts. Fortunately, because grey is just grey and very dull.
Added metal strips to the rims of the hatches as well. These hatches were made for inserting the camera (port rearmost hatch), the driftmeter (starboard rearmost hatch), an access/escape hatch (large foremost hatch) and a hatch for the Nedinsco bombsight, which was located in the access hatch. Oh, I need to create grips for these hatches...

Edit: I haven't done any shading/specularity yet, will be done *later*...
 
Thanks guys!

Well, it took a while to post an update, more or less because I regarded the progress as being too insignificant. But today, I can give you one, this time about modelling. I kept forgetting to create the Bosch horns, so that was my job tonight.

Behind the pilot, at the fuselage roof, two Bosch horns (also known in the car branch) were located. One started yelling as soon as the pilot closed the throttles while the gear wasn't down yet (landing gear warning horn, right), the other could be controlled by the crewmembers for communication (it was actually called the 'communicatie-claxon', or 'communication-horn'). I interpret this as being a warning horn to let the others know they'd put their intercom on, or something like that... Interesting anyway!

The real ones.

And mine. These parts are out of sight, but can't be forgotten IMHO.

Cheers, Daan
