Excellent work on the cockpit controls. That is an outstanding touch.

Wolfi,

The detail work is outstanding. You have the Akemi touch of details without frame rate overkill. Not an easy line to walk, but you do it amazingly well!

[wolfi]

Thanks Sarg Willy, but I just do the 3d modeling; the textures by Capt. Kurt are bringing the aircraft to live.

This was the only dive-bomber to see operational service with the RAF. All squadrons being based in the Far East.

For those who like things a little different, some were also converted to target tugs with black and yellow stripy bottoms

 

[peperez]

It was used also by Australian, Brazilian, Free French and Indian air forces...

Cheers

Stef,

Not only that, his farts smell like sauerkraut and schnitzel.

Hm, Sauerkraut und Schnitzel is tasty for me, but I think, if the pilot could do, the smell of the farts would be more based on Chili con Carne and baked beans ,because he represents an US pilot.
In general sauerkraut doesn’t produce more farts than other food, more related to farts is Erbsen suppe (Pea Soup)
Sauerkraut and Schnitzel, just click the link’s below

OK, this version with long exhaust pipes are easily to do, I will do it later.
---It looks like the rear canopy is completely removed.

Wolfi,

Pilots of rotary-engined aircraft during The Great War used to get diarrhea from all the castor oil they swallowed in flight. Getting out of those flight suits in a jiffy must have been hell.

(To clue those who don't know...castor oil was used for rotary-engine lubrication)

Rami, T.M. I.--- Too much information!!

If you think that all of the intake/exhaust valve mechanisms on those engines were not encased in the way we are all used to see since eons ago, the volume of lubricant flying into the pilot's face was huge. They all dismounted from their open cockpits completely blackened by it.
I wonder if any of them who survived the war later on succumbed to cancer, considering how poisonous exhausted lubricant oil can be.

It sure tells a long story about what kind of tough material early flyers were made of.....

Cheers!

The main model and the virtual cockpit are close to be ready. Now I will try to correct the tail wheel position and size before I will went to the LOD models, there is also a bit work on the damaged parts.
I made a second player version where you will have control over the Gunner and rear canopies, (Concorde Nose keys) the standard version opens the rear canopy automatically when the landing gear gets in.
The Textures are made by Captain Kurt!
