There's Nothing Like Fresh Mesh ...

While testing the LDR FSX Native version of the Mallard, I ran across an old friend.

I like this Mallard logo although it is a poor location as it is semi hidden.

I added a few pics to show the placards text.

Spoil sport, I had some ideas of my own what too put on them, but best stick with the actual wording, after all it would only confuse/scare the kiddies.
On a side note, how do I get my steering wheels and yoke thing back it's not showing in vc mode ? ( latest model release)

LOL Steve.

The yoke is hidden/shown with the spoiler "/" key.

Thanks Milton, I have been playing in the cockpit this morning, and pressed so many things I had no idea where or why the yoke had gone walkies.

Here's a update of the current state of play in the cockpit, still playing in there and the radio is a place holder:https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zeputmt7jgjakc/ms_ mallard_beta_8.zip?dl=0
Altered interior textures only.

Thanks Steve. I am trying to put all the finishing touches on the model and package; almost done.

Don't think any of it will affect your work however.

Been tweaking the model, panel gauges, and flight model. Some minor changes to gauges and positions.

Hope to have this out by the weekend.

Really looking forward to the Complete Package, Milton!

Alan, thank you. The package will still be a WIP without skins or textured panel, or proper sounds for now, but all the rest of the package will be beta-ready.

That's about all I can do at this point. I'll leave it to others to finish off exterior and interior textures.
And maybe someone can identify some good P&W R-1340 sounds for use with the package.

 

[Milton Shupe]

I have uploaded the WIP full package v1.1 to the FS9/Aircraft library for all those wishing to sling paint.

As far as I know now, all the modeling is completed unless someone finds issues.

No livery, just texture templates.

Sounds are simply temporary as I have no R-1340 sounds.

The Mallard Cockpit over the years has seen many modifications and variations. I have based my cockpit on the attached photos.

Later today I will post some helpful screen shots labeling the switches and dials.

The attachment explains all the switches and dials for the overhead panel

SteveB, et al, attached is an updated model, ecubox.bmp texture, and a 2048 ecubox template for the requested changes of glareshield and Mallard logo on steering yoke.

I will add the window crank later today.

EDIT: Window crank added to attached zip and corrected the specular shine on the model

Hi Milton,

I'm a bit slow with this, but today I realised that for the Commonwealth Wirraway and the de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter (both Wasp R-1340 with three blade prop) I have installed a long time ago the great Wasp sounds by Jay "Farmboy" McDaniel. The original soundpack like I have on my HD has sound.cfg's for single engined aircraft and twin engined aircraft and doesn't have that typical "supersonic" sound produced by the two blade prop of the AT-6 Texan/Harvard.
At the moment this soundpack (without the twin engine sound.cfg; I still have that sound.cfg in the soundpack) has been included in the FSX Grumman AgCat Crop Duster released by Michael E. Roberts (grumman_g-164_ag_cat.zip) available at FlightSim and Simviation.com.

Cheers,
Maarten

Milton I have been working on the overhead panel getting it stencilled up and attach the textures for you too have a look at. I have redone the placards .bmp and badged up the steering wheel. On the stencilling I can get it too look ok at a distance but blurred on closer look. Is it poss to make the red and black underside panels a slightly higher res or some such magic.

[Milton Shupe]

I'll take a look at it Steve. Thanks

EDIT: Ah, yes. My apologies. I will improve on that and have the changes to you by morning, your time.

Updates to the Mallard Overhead panel mapping for higher resolution. See the readme.txt included.

Steve,

You asked about the overhead levers placard. Attached is the explanation of contents for all placards, and revised content of the bilge pumps control panel.

 

[SteveB]

Thanks Milton, I got too play with the exterior little bit last night.

 

[Milton Shupe]

Steve, that is a beautiful livery
