Fairchild PT-19

I just finished adding all the test stripes I use to do the 1x1 mapping, but I haven't started the 1x1 mapping yet. I'm in that time of a project I get tired of working on it so I can only do a bit of work before I have to stop. But I'll get there. This plane is turning out much better than I thought it would.

I did a bit more mapping. When I went to the grocery store yesterday, on the way home, a rock was thrown up on the hi-way and broke my windshield. So I called the insurance company and the glass deductible was 500 bucks which is more than it cost for a new windshield. So the company is scheduled to come to my house and install a new windshield between 12 and 2pm. That was an expensive grocery trip.

I started working on the PT-19 again this morning. I have the fuselage and wings 1x1 mapped but I stopped after that to eat. I guess I'll take a break for a while and play my game before working on it again. I guess once I get the 1x1 mapping finished I need to add the collision mesh. Right now the only thing that has a collision mesh is the landing gear and tires.
 
I just did a new build and looked at the plane in RealFlight and everything looked good. So I guess the only thing left to do is the collision mesh and then the physics. Right now I'm importing it with a dummy set of physics, so I have everything to do in the physics. That is set all the part sizes, positions, and weights. And then do the flight physics. So there's still quite a bit to do.
 
I still had a few tweaks to do to the collision mesh so I finished that this morning. I just remembered I never rotated the exhaust pipes down some so that should be the last thing I need to do before I start on the physics.
 
I bought a new usb external drive enclosure and put a WD 4TB RED drive in it a while back but had never used it. So this morning after I finished tweaking the PT-19 collision mesh I backed up the Super Chipmunk and PT-19 files to my normal backup drive and then backed up the entire REALFLIGHT folder (300GB) from my normal backup drive to the new drive, so now I have two copies of my REALFLIGHT files. I did lose some stuff when my internal drive died recently so I don't have "everything" but I have most of it.
 
Another day and for some reason I can't get started on the PT-19 again, burnout I guess. But I guess at some point I'll get going again. And so far there isn't much going on in the forum so I thought I'd post something.
 
Well, I guess I finally broke through my burnout. I had taken a shortcut when I did the collision mesh for the wings so I went back and fixed that. So after I rotate the exhaust a little I can start on the physics. Maybe. But I've already thought of something else I might want to do so I may do that before I start on the physics. I always seem to find one more thing to tweak.
