RLU-1 Breezy

You've done a really nice preliminary work-up on the on-board camera. Very cool making the camera the pilot's head-- brilliant. I have often thought about how I might use the 'slider' potentiometers on the bottom side of the Interlink DX; so, one slider turns the pilot's head, and the other tips the pilot's head up|down. I know this is a preliminary beta, but pay attention to the pilot's neck|coller arangment... as it is, when his head tips up a crack opens up under his chin! I like the detail that the F1 or F3 view can actually see the pilot's head move.
The in-flight experience of being able to pan the camera (pilot's head) left|right up|down is fabulous.
Some folks said they had to swap the channels to make it work; not me, works well as designed with the left|right sliders on input channel 14|15 and output channel 5|6.

Again, very nice work; can hardly wait to see the finished product!

I know its just cosmetic details (although very cool); could you put realism movement in the pilot's arm and control stick? ... would be awesome

Was that ever in doubt. ! Legoman and unusual model animation features always go together. (and work great)

Looks good, he reminds me of an actor, can`t place the name at the moment.

Well, with a little searching, I found the actor, it`s Jeffery Donovan from the TV show "Burn Notice", I think you`ll see the resemblance...just imagine him with goggles.....just for fun guy`s, while we`re all stuck inside.. ? ? ?

The pilot was originally off the parts repository I have made changes here and there

I would like some of y'all thoughts on these planes. I know some of you have expressed a strong no thanks to "enemy" planes. but two of my three most downloaded planes are Soviet

• Boeing E-3 sentry (aew&c 707)
• Tupolev Tu-126 (aew&c tu-95)
• Antonov An-22
• Martin JRM Mars
• Northop XB-35
• Douglas XB-43 Jetmaster
• Heinkel He-177
• Kawanishi H6K
• Dornier do-26.
• Handley Page HP-80 Victor

The Soviets were our allies in WW II.

 

[OliverW]

Definitely the Victor!

Well, the Soviets exist no more; but, contrary to what the far far socialist left will tell you, the Russians are our allies today! ... and sadly, when the show-down comes with China (and it will come) Russia will be our ally again! There should never have been a cold-war with the Soviets (that was a cold mistake). I just thank God that neither of our missiles flew! As far as airplanes go-- the Russians know how to build a jet... just saying. That "Mig" is phenomenal (always was).
