Fixes for G-ZIPY, thanks to Mike for pointing them out. :ernae: I'll upload the fixes shortly. I can't paint the nose cone I don't think, so I can't do anything about that. :ernae: Just download again here for the fixes:

I don't think I've ever had so much fun painting an aircraft before. The interior paintkit brings a whole new dimension of fun to painting:applause::applause:

Sweet paint bro!! It would be cool to try those lightning bolts as silver and make them shine using the alpha! Great job. :ernae:
 
BB,

How did you change the canopy (plexi) color?????

Can you do this for the FS9 version as well?




Bill

Should be able to, it was a matter of changing the color of the Pespex_T texture and a tad lighter alpha, also made the Plexi_spec a brighter green so when the light hits the canopy it shines a brighter green in that area. :ernae: Just won't have that spec in FS9 though.
 
Thanks Bob! Great work on that ZIPY! I like the green canopy. It would be great to see the green tint from the inside also, but I don't think there's VC-glass...?
 
One thing which people may also like to add is a publisher line:

ui_variation="N1006Y"
ui_createdby="Lionheart Creations"
prop_anim_ratio=1.03


I do this for all aircraft cfg. files that don't include it. I just don't like having any aircraft in my hangar with a publisher/creator listed as unknown.

Wow, Awesome...

Thanks man... Thank you all for the posts... repaints .... pointers.... I learned a lot by just reading.... and listening.... I did not know I can use throttle by ear

you guys ROCK!!


Eli
 
Awesome Repaints!! :jump:

Are there plans to convert theses repaints to FS9?
 
Hey - G-ZIPY is going to start it's own life:blind:
I don't know why, but that little bird put a spell on me.:pop4:

Thanks again to Bob for his excellent job. :ernae:
He's faster than I can react on the different communication channels, so I'll stop here and take a flight with ZIPY first.

Thanks Tom for the kind words. :engel016:




Pekka,

I love this interior! The refreshments are hillarious. Same lightning bolt throughout, even on his shirt, lolol.. Nice!



Bill
 
It's a real compliment to the developer when there are so many repaints and attention paid to the aircraft!:applause:
 
As a matter of personal taste, I prefer a VW sound to mate up with this Whittman Tailwind. The best I have found is a sound set available at Flightsim. Search for:
FS2004/FSX Druine Turbulent Sounds

It is not perfect as it has some slightly, not too noticeable, sound loop descrepencies, but does give a good homebuilt sound to the plane. I'm using this sound set put into the FS Piper J3 plane as I like it enough for a J3 sound, and in the Wittman W8 and W10 sound file, I alias to the FS J3.

That said, it would sound even better if the throttle to engine sound ratio worked properly. Such as full rpm sound not backing off until pulling the throttle back past 1/2 throttle. Hope someone can figure out why this is happening, it would surely enhance the planes flight experience.

Thanks Phantom for the heads up on that.

I was personally thinking of linking it to the Extra 300, but its just a bit loud in the VC.


On that sound plateau on the custom soundpack. Aaron Swindel is working on that presently. He should have it done in the next couple of days.
