• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Work continues on the A2D-1 Sky Shark. I said in the last update that I had installed the ARS4 radar system. I have had a lot of fun with it; it works exactly as advertised. This is my first radar installation and it won't be the last. It is installed in the VC. The controls are on the left side pilot console. I found them a little small for my taste so I have included both the radar and controls in a larger pop-up window. I was going to say it was closer than the famous "soon" when I realized the canopy is for the prototype rather than the production version ( I am modeling the A2D-1) and the rear landing gear covers are not shaped correctly. That's life! Back to the drawing board!

Best, Paul

Hey Paul, looking good! Going with 3d gauges? Let me know if you are.

This project will not have 3d gauges. However, it will be my last one without at least some. In addition to learning to model in gmax, I am doing some simple 3d stuff to see if I can get the hang of them. You will hear from me when I hit the HELP! level.
BTW, I finally figured out why I would lose patience with gmax and go running back to FSDS in the past. Almost everything I did in FSDS at least started out in the Cross-section mode. There is no similar Cross-section mode in gmax.
