Yellow Peril off Catapult

I took Scrubby's and Mick's Yellow Peril mentioned below and added the rcbco-30 gauges. Here is the result coming off the catapult of the USS Idaho. This was done in FSX but the same thing can be done in FS9 with the rcbco-20 gauges.

Neat!

I didn't think to add the catapult gauge in the paint pack I just uploaded. But I'm about to add it to my own copy of the N3N!

I just uploaded a paint pack that includes Navy N3N-1s marked to the standards of 1939, 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1960.

The 1960 one is the same paint that Scrubby included in his release, but this version is much improved. I've gotten better at this since I made that original paint back around 2003 or so.

I couldn't do the Coast Guard paint that I mentioned above; a mapping glitch on the rudder makes it impossible. But that's OK, since I don't believe the Coast Guard operated the N3N on floats. They just had a few on wheels that they used for orientation flights for prospective pilot trainees, to make sure they had some sort of aptitude for flying before they signed them up and shipped them off to Pensacola for Navy flight school. If Scrubby makes an N3N on wheels I'll ask him to fix the rudder mapping so we can have that paint.
 
You know me, if it has a single float I'll put it on the sling-shot! BTW re the P-59 thread, I'll email you in a couple of days what has to be done to get things looking good in FSX. I just did this for Chuck Lawson and his repaints of the Vultee BT-13. Works great in both sims.

Yep, me too. I have the catshot gauge installed now. Glad you mentioned it!

Not that I ever get time to fly anymore anyway...

I thought that retirement would mean more computer time and more FS time, but it's been very much the opposite. I'm spending more time with family, more time with friends, more time with the cats, more time on outdoor pursuits, and more time reading and working around home, so I have far less computer and FS time than I had when I was working.

Sounds good re: the P-59.

In the P-59 thread I just told Tom that David and I weren't interested in spending any time or effort on an FSX conversion, but we'd be happy to lend the FSDS files to anyone who wanted to do it. But if it's really simple, we could just go ahead and do it. If it's a project, we'll leave it to someone else. I'll watch for your e-mail.
