There's Nothing Like Fresh Mesh ...

[SteveB]

I found that scheme on a thread posted by Terry :http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?94873-Amphib-paint-and-model-ideas

Here is a quick picture of a very early WIP of the overhead, bin playing with the on off's.

I will be making the layered masters for the overhead panel available with a choice of white or black stencilling so people can repaint the base colour.

 

[Milton Shupe]

Great Steve; very thoughtful of you. Thanks a bunch

 

[SteveB]

Milton, how big a job is it too move a guage up and too the right a bit this would help me greatly in labelling some switches. Please see piccie attached.

No problem at all; do what you need to do; I'll make the adjustment. Thanks

I'm going blind in my old age

This is too anyone with eye sight better than mine. Can you please take a look at the picture attatched and help me identify the wording used (or best polite guess).

#1: The left side of the gauge reads "fuel" and the expression in question is either "CAP" or "GAL" or so
#2: "??? Fire Extinguisher" (the switch next to it is pitot heat, so maybe cabin heater fire extinguisher)
#3: "Alternator Fire Extinguisher"
#4: This could be anything. Opportunity for a few sarcastic instructions and warnings?
#5: "Cabin Heater Fire Extinguisher"
#6: BRIGHT(??)
#7: "Cockpit Lts Rheostat(?)"

Thanks guys that 'll keep me busy for a while.

I'm calling it a day in the paint shop, I'm going cross eyed.

Here's a little something so people have a texture on the over head panel

: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wu30erljxeamk2i/ms_ mallard_ ohp_beta_1.zip?dl=0

Please remember this is very much a WIP and nothing on this texture is set in concrete yet. For example all the on and off 's are being resized a bit for breakfast.

Steve

 

[Milton Shupe]

That is coming along nicely Steve ... thank you Sir

 

[SteveB]

It's getting there. Here is a grey holding texture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wdoefxgzkn5jqeh/ms_ mallard_ ohp_beta_1_grey.zip?dl=0

 

[Milton Shupe]

Ah, great! Thank you Sir

Now that I have them, I can move the gauge (requires a gmax source change).

 

[SteveB]

Too much coca cola last night, brains still buzzing and my eyes still crossing, so, I have done a holding texture for the "OHpanelbotm.bmp". plain black antiglare paint no details: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5dag8k443lekkj/ms_ mallard_ ohpbot_beta_1.zip?dl=0

Rui,

Great to see you hear Sir. Did you receive my PM or Email?

 

[manecas]

Hello Sir, I did receive your email, but no PM sadly.
I have in the meantime responded.

ive waited for a Mallard all my life!
she is indeed a gorgeous visual model. It feels like Christmas morning here trust me!

yours,
rc

Once I have completed the Overhead panel, and before starting on the bottom one, I will finalise a couple of the external schemes I have underway and release them.
