Guess the....

Looks good! Just needs some more polys on the canopy frames and edges of the fuselage by the panel. Other than that, looks just like the ones I work on.
The yokes are very well done, nice curvatures.
 
Beg your pardon Craig, but it's obvious the reg is G-ATEST as seen in your photo. Sheesh, a dead give away. None the less, she's looking good!!:salute:
 
Hey Craig if you need any info I have a buddy who let me fly his Ercoupe over here at Rusty Allen Airfield in Lago Vista. Definitely a fun aircraft!!!

Awesome been waiting for one for X, I have Mr. Ito's in X with John Humphries repaint of the one I was partners in for a while, unfortunitly the a/c was lost in crash after I had gotten out of it so is no more.
Here's a link to the coupe owners club for any one interested.

If I can be of help in any way let me know.:salute:
 
Thanks everyone for your positve comments and suggestions.

I've smoothed off the cockpit frame and sides and added the window hand grabs which can be moved to any position for those warm summer days to the cold november nights :)

I was racking my brain the other day on how to make the rudder move with the ailerons, then It hit me that FS has a "AutoRudder" function which is basically what the Ercoupe has and works a treat !

Here's a few more pics showing the VC with different windows versions, the differential rudders and some glovebox action.

Looking good. I see that u have the glove boxes installed, all the coupes I vere saw had done away with them to make room for more instruments and stuff including ours.

this is the one I did for Mr. Ito's coupe, simular to ours but really much more that it had on it. Ours only had a Narco Mk3 in it, u could talk or u could navigate(VOR) but not at the same time! No ADF and very few switches for any thing.
 
Craig, obviously any of the gauge stuff I did that you used in your last release can be used again here if you so desire, and if there is anything I can do in terms of gauge face artwork let me know. We might get lucky as I have slowly been building on my collection. In fact, if needed I would be willing to do some custom work for you if you can provide a picture of what you need. :salute:
 
Hey Reddog, not much happened since I last posted. I have to do some texture mapping (which I dislike) so I'm kinda putting it off until I can work up the enthusiasm :wiggle:
 
Yep, I've spent hours just looking at my models in gMax thinking of what needs to be done....

Actually that's just a version of "developer's procrastination syndrome". Normally, you open your model and think something like "I need to do this, this, this, that and this..." :d
