Looking good Legoman. I know you have at least a couple choices in mind for a CS. Any final decision yet ???

there are two cs I am considering the airforce (camo) and the navy (white) and the old navy blue but I don't think that was ever put on an H model. I have seen pictures of other nationalities british etc. but that is cs territory.

To narrow it down to one.... camo.

Also Mapping is a pain when wings3d is lagging. it is not happy about the triangle or object count on screen.

You got a pic. of the Navy "white" you`re considering ???, just curious.

I guess its not really white more gray and I "was" considering. google (A-1H navy Va 115).

The one I am more than likely doing

 

[uncle twist]

Yep, I`m more familiar with the navy doing gray for the most part, but in your defense, The bottom of the fuse, wings, rudder, elevs., and ailerons were white. At least the CS`s I`m familiar with, albeit there are some different non gray/white variations.

Very nice mapping layout.

Nice layout. What are the dimensions it doesn't look square.

4096x4096. The reason it might not be square is its a screen shot (jpg) instead of a tiny 500kB tga

Okay, cool. The engine looks great too I forgot to mention it before.

And so begins the long process of hooking stuff up in the cockpit and making sure it all works, painting, and building the loadout AV's

I forget what all works in the cockpit. ( gauges - levers )

 

[legoman]

I forget what all works in the cockpit. ( gauges - levers )

retract, retract lock, tail hook lever, canopy control lever, three trim adjustments and indicators, flaps, throttle, RPM control, mixture, tachometer, manifold pressure, airspeed indicator, artificial horizon, triggers on the stick, dive brake controller, a few switches, rudder pedals, brake pedals, and maybe something else

Wow.. that's going to be great, can't wait to play with all that.

 

[legoman]

note the tail hook

 

[Ghost129er]
