Grumman S2F-3AT (S-2T) WIP

Well, I thought I would let the cat out of the bag to see what the interest is in this project. I am building a Grumman S-2T Turbo Tracker flown by Cal Fire as an aerial firefighting airtanker. This will be geared towards P3Dv4.5 taking advantage of PBR and HD textures. This is my first real project built from the ground up by myself (C-123 stalled out in the vc as I didnt understand coding, I may revisit after this project.) I'm currently working on the vc while trying to wrap my head around the whole coding language :banghead: No direct time table is set for release but I don't think it will be ready for the 2020 fire season ;) I'll try to keep this thread updated with the progress if there is interest, but for now here are some screenshots.







 
Hi!

That is a nice looking example of an S-2T!! Please carry on!! It's already looking wonderful!
Would you - at some time - consider a navy variant as well?

Best regards,

Seawing
 
I never thought anyone would be able to get me out of Milton's, but that's looking awesome. Thanks for sharing. BTW, have you checked with the guys at FS Developer about the coding? There's a great bunch of guys over there.
 
That looks fantastic! As Sundog has mentioned, FS Developer is a great forum to have questions answered about coding.
 
Thanks guys. Oh yes Ive spent many hours there going through old threads and asking questions there. I wouldnt have made it far at all without help on there.
 
Beautiful work Tankerguy72!!!
Very nice rendition of my favourite twin turboprop... :ernaehrung004:
Cheers,

Stéph.
 
My jaw hits the ground! What a real looking aircraft. I never would have guessed, but this variant looks so much better than the carrier ones. Fantastic work, mate!
 
It's looking quite good Tankerguy! Glad they upengined them to turboprops. These brave pilots need all the help they can get.

I built my own Fox Field airport and added a facsimile of the Tanker base on the East end. This would be great to operate from there.
 
Stunning, if one was to say if there was any revamp that tops the cake visually, this would be it hands down :encouragement:
 
Very nice! I flew down to Hemet Ryan this past weekend and saw them there. So good to see them flying still.
 
A little update on the S2. Alot of work still going on inside the vc. Cramming in details and some alot of custom codes.



 
Man, you've really upped your modeling game. That is looking great!

Maybe Mike at FR will let you make an updated fire bomber of the Privateer from his B-24? :::runs away fast, that-a-way ====> :::

Thanks Ken I really appreciate that. Ive put alot of work into it.

I was actually trying to persuade Mike into making a tanker version of the 4Y. I have an exterior model of a 4Y tanker pretty far along but I know his will be released well before mine ever would.
