New CFS2 Avenger

I think I will send a still unfinished model tomorrow to the volunteers.
Remark (unfinished model, not a correct air and DP file, no LOD models, no gauges, canopy not animated)

Wolfi
 
Added 3 LOD models and made a test flight

Wolfi,

I will be happy to test once again when I return from vacation next Wednesday. It looks like you're doing a great job! :very_drunk:
 
Here are a few more screenshots, the aircraft mdl is close to be ready just a few small parts have to be done, it contains 3 LOD models and a shadow model, the gauges are added to the VC.
The blurred prop is still missing.

That's the most fantastic modelling I've seen - makes mine look like I'm making paper darts

Baldy,

Wolfi's attention to detail is out-wordly. No need to beat yourself up.

Wolfi,

I installed my beta-test model today...and sent you a few initial impressions. Thanks for including me!
 
So far so good. I still have to try taking off with the 2000 pound bomb load (no WEP) from a carrier. I'm using the VN USS Wasp CV7 as a test runway. She just makes it with a torpedo and no flaps. On torpedo runs and in flight the bird handle's fine. Now if I can sharpen my aim for the torp runs...
 
Using 50% flaps, there is no problem taking off from the USS Wasp CV-7 with the 2000 pound bomb load (bombs. heavy). She takes a while to get up to the speed (even with the flaps raised) in order to enable warp. My only complaint is that the engine, after starting takes a loooong time to rev to full power before starting to take off. I recommend that players set the park brake and slowly open the throttle to full power, listen and wait until the engine picks it up. In all, it's a good plane! :applause:

Will the final dp get more weapons load out (payload) options?

Here's a few pics of the paintwork in progress. Wolfi is making some additions and a few tweaks to the plane that the painting has shown up and I have some detail work to do on the skins. Over all this is a fantastic model. I hope the skins when finished will do it justice.

Looking very nice, Cap't. I'm sure you will do the aircraft justice. So far, so good.

An awesome level of detail Wolfi.:redfire::triumphant:

Great looking base paint CK:encouragement: I can see you having plenty of fun with that...:a1089:

I guess the model must have plenty of LODs, otherwise a large formation of them might bring CFS2 to it's knees?
