• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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 politician 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 among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Things have been busy in the PutPut hanger. The second image is a "proof of concept" version of the Convair Pogo. It is shown in an actual vertical take off. Obviously nothing was animated when I did this screen shot. I used the VTOL gauge that Rob Barendregt developed for the FS9 version. It works well for test purposes but has a rather major case of the hicups which I believe is associated with the different way I handled the origin location for FSX. It starts out in the vertical position which gave me nightmares at first. I had a plane that stayed in the vertical when it moved horizontal and even had it going upside down and backwards for a while. That is all sorted out and I will send a version to Rob Barendregt who has kindly agreed to do a new VTOL gauge for the FSX version. The completion date is probably a good month away.
The other project is the Northrop A-17. I have chosen to do the fixed gear version, not because it is easier (it isn't) but just because it is a rare bear. The exterior is almost complete and the last shot shows a good start on the VC. Love those early USAAC paint joibs!

Cheers, Paul
