Hi all
Here are my first modeling efforts, the WWI French / American Salmson 2A2, a 2 seater reconnaissance plane that played a major part in the last year of the "Great War"
It's not perfect but for a first shot, I think it turned out pretty well. I learned a lot about FSDS 2.24 methods and techniques - some of which I will use next time but didn't know any better at this point. Ah well. It's not perfect but for a first shot, I think it turned out pretty well. I paid attention to a lot of details but I have to say the rigging finally defeated my patience and I didn't get the attach points as detailed as I would have liked. Maybe on a next effort? The Complex cowling was a lot of fun. Ha!
The model, textures, panel and air files are by Captain Kurt. The pilot figures were developed from Wolfi's freeware Japanese pilot .fsc source file. The prop spinning texture is by Kelticheart. RIP Kelti, you are still contributing.
There are 4 slightly different versions. The differences being in equipment; machine guns, generators and pennants.
