What have you Gentlemen...Grumman Trader anyone?

I have done the research on teh C-1A, E-1B, and S2F-n. If I do this, it will be as an SOH project so therefore will need other SOH's to step up to the plate for panel/gauges/sounds. Not sure I will be doing this but at least the front end work is done.

As to the Lockheed whatever, it is so like the last few I have done, I would prefer to do something different. But for now, the focus will be on the Dash 7.

:salute: For the sounds: at your service, Milton. I've already decided on new separate 'from scratch' sounds for the A-26 and F7F anyway, and this aircraft would be extra incentive. Still not satisfied with the existing ones! I've found some nice start-up and taxi sounds and think I'll put up a new thread encouraging members to take full advantage of the oncoming airshow season.
 
orchard pruning season...

gonna give that a whirl around Amouliani, perfect plane for checking a few things out at my seaport in progress

:salute: ...love a copy when you have Amouliani finished. Watch your back though Smoothie, its pretty busy now since YOU did the rearranging of HAF flightpans! F4's F-16;s Canadair cl415's...you name it!

They've all been lending a hand pruning my fruit trees lately and from what I've heard, if Tom Clayton joins us up here, we'll have a supply of free firewood to keep warm...its damned nippy weather round here lately so come on Tom give Amouliani a try!:bump:

i will buddy i'll put it up here for everyone to try, and me? re-arranging HAF flightplans? nah i just offered a suggestion to a buddy :icon_lol:

back on track, gotta agree a Trader would be good, and so would a Tracer... if Milton did make it a team effort (please do Milton, i'm free for texturing!) i'd make sure i did a HAF one, fictionally of course...

all this HAF talks got me looking at property around Larisa again... only time i'll see Mother (H)ellas this year is when i go on holiday to Kos to see family... unless.... *starts scheming*

It says FSX, but it does absolutely fine in FS9 as well.

Just an opinion but I find that the sounds for Tim Conrad's T-28 Trojan seem to nicely replicate that "clattering" sound that seems common to it and the Tracker as well.

I'll go to the Aviodrome with Ferry some time soon, and take pictures of the Tracker interior there.

Grumman Tracker/Trader W is in P!

:salute: ...looks like things catch on fast here at SOH!!!

Milton, Robcap, Smoothie seem eager on this (project)!!!

Work this end, is already in sure progress! I'm surprised at the amount of sound material I've already been able to accumulate for the Wright R-1820-82 Cyclone. All of it, I may add; 100 percent Grumman Tracker. What's more, good internal recordings (very rare indeed!). So for this ship, all stops are going to be pulled for quality from the outset! Going to need AUTHENTIC internal sounds for starters, flaps and gear retraction though, and these may prove harder to obtain. Anyone with 'access' to 'Grumman Tracker/Trader flyers' would be of invaluable assistance in this respect, so come on Gents!

Will have some WIP wav. files up here before long, so keep your eyes/ears open!

Cheers to all, :ernae: Nigel

Oops! ..nearly forgot, there are some really handsome fire-tanker versions still flying too,
so no lack of variety with this bird!

The Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne is at the top of my list. Fixed wing, pusher-prop and a rotor. The best of both worlds I think. A long time favorite of mine.

Mine as well... I would have loved to have one for FS9. The Cheyenne was FAST, agile and lethal. It could fly sideways at 60mph (not that having the capability to do that was a nessesary trait) and had it seen action in, let's say... Vietnam, the ship would have been a real asset to the Army. Unfortunately, cost over-runs and missed deadlines killed the project.

After the talk of the L10 I ordered 'around the world in 80 flights' from FCS (well second hand from Amazon actually) for under £5 including postage, it includes an L10E, time will tell if it's nice or not, but for the money, minimal risk. I have the 'Discover Europe' pack which includes a rather nice Tripacer, got that for even less on Amazon. The plane is by Daniel Dunn (Damokum?), responsible for many kites in my hanger, Wellington, Hawker heroes (3 of them), WWI fighters, Early years of flight, etc. Those I like, so hoping this one is his too.

Actually, that electra is a bit of a letdown, very basic. I love the flights though and don't regret buying it. I'd also recommend discover Great Britain that comes with a really nice Auster.
 
If Milton/SOH is building an S-2/C-1/E-1 Tracker/Tracer/Trader etc., I'll step up and take a whack at the panel and gauges. If the F7F temp panel was "sticking my toe in the water", I've a feeling this will be like going over Niagra Falls in a barrel, but I'm up for it.
 
I'd be happy to help too, jack of all trades master of none, so I could help were I can. Modelling is not included as Milton uses Gmax/max, only got as far as FSDS.

The Elactra arrived today, a mixed bag, the model and textures are nice enough. The FM is way off centre CoG wise, and a mare to trim ( if I could master the AP, that wouldn't be an issue, lol) The sound is nice, especially at higher revs. 2D is okay, but lacks some minor switches, etc. VC is nice, clickable as far as I've noticed.

The downsides are okay by me,I can fix them, The basic model and VC are pretty good, the rest I can tinker, lol.

That's an interesting preview, Roger!

But considering the water and sky textures, I'd presume this one is going to become a FSX release, eh?

Cheers,
Markus.

That would be great Rob! Would you like to do the VC model for it if I do the exterior? :wiggle:

I might, but I have another project up my sleeve first!
It's very tempting, and I'd love to work on it when the time is right.
I'll start by takeing the pictures with Ferror, and some measurements.

Cheers, Rob
