PB4Y-2 Privateer WIP

Yeah really want to get this done for everyone here. I know how fun it is to fly right now. Ill start pluggin away little by little now.
 
Great to have another talented and hardworking member of the design community. Looking to be a great plane, the passion shows through.

Man, that is a BIG airplane...:isadizzy:I really enjoy seeing the screen shots and watching this one progress along. Keep up the good work TG! It'll be worth waiting for, but I'll have to build yet another hangar to house that beauty in...

:ernae: -- BB686:USA-flag:
 
TG sent updates so I could continue tweaking the FM.

That's me with a big grin on my face. :wiggle:

She lifts off with a full load right where she should, climbs at proper speed at proper VSI.

Set map and RPMs for remainder of climb and she carries on like its a piece of cake.

Cruise is sweet, handling predictable and believable, heavy but responsive.

Still tweaking approach pitch a little more ... just about there.

Lovin' it! :jump:

Beautiful shots Milton - You mean to say you've made it even better to fly Sir?
Awesome!!!

Tankerguy72: I'd love a copy of whatever textures you have (they look downright incredible), mine's still minus fuse texes and I'll still have some tweeking to do on the sounds when we are nearer to release.

Keep up the awesome work guys!:wavey:
 
Those departure shots of the Privateer and the DC-4 remind me of watching those planes fly out of Grand Junction and Ceder City in the 80s.

You got it Nigel! Ill have them over to you tomorrow.
 
Well I must say that I love seeing the little details in flight sim so I wanted this to be as real as it gets or that my abilities would allow. I textured this aircraft using real pictures were i could. Here are some preview shots of the progress.
