LOL Well, I just sent the last of the changes to the S2F-1 to the paint shop. So now officially, I am done with the -1 until Duckie finds the secret issues I accidently left throughout the models and mapping. :)

EDIT: Before you ask; I will await Duckie's close inspection of all the work before I do the CP-121 variant. Once I get the "all clear", I will do that one.

Exciting! Thanks a million, even more! :medals::medals::applause::applause::jump::jump:
 
I had revamped the S2T flight dynamics but haven't transferred them over to the fire fighting version as yet. Need to get to that soon...

Wow! You take advantage of every little nook and cranny don't ya! :) Once you darken that up, she will look very realistic. :applause:
 
Bridle

At the risk of sounding really ungreatful for all of Milton's (et all) wonderful work, I have realized that there is one additional item that would certainly be the "frosting on the cake". A great many of us fly these superb aircraft in their natural element - off the carrier. Whether you are using it with a static carrier in Fs9, or a moving one in FSX, you will use one of the catapult functions (3-wire, Acceleration etc.) to catapult back into the air. The C-1A/E-1B/S-2E did not use a launch bar (hadn't been invented yet), they had a "bridle" that was attached by the Cat crew at mid fuselage and extended forward to the shuttle in the catapult. RazBam, Skippy Bing etc. are now incorporating a Bridle into their appropriate aircraft. It appears under the aircraft (it's in the .mdl) when the holdback function is selected (normally when setting the brake in Fs9, or selecting shift + L in FSX). It makes the aircraft look extremely realistic while awaiting the Cat shot. The bridle disappears as soon as the launch key combination is selected (Milton: I'm sure you already know all of this). Is it too late to consider a bridle - or was it previously considered and rejected? I certainly won't be disappointed with this beautiful set of aircraft if the answer is no, but I just felt I should bring it up (albeit VERY late). Bill
 
Thanks for that input. Frankly, I have never heard of the bridle, and of all the pictures I have and scoured, I do not recall seeing it. Interesting. :kilroy:
