The Cougar was always one of my favorites. Nice work Rob, thanks for the pics Noddy.

The land plane is complete and undergoing testing. No issues so far. The float plane conversion is well along also. Here's a few shots of the cockpits and the land plane in flight

Clive, I like where you're going. When I tried your landclass file the building density immediately crashed my system if I tried to fly over a very large city like Paris or London. I have to use higher DIM values to get it to run. Even then I'm seeing some persistent stuttering if I'm at low altitude. I tried reducing the tree texture file back to 2048x2048, and it helped some. (see attached)

When you make an airfield and set the size this flattens that area in the landclass. You can see its effect in non flat regions. It also eliminates any other scenery from being displayed in that area. It has to be set when you make the airfield mesh and textures. Changing it in game I would think would distort the airfield and the texture.

Very nice, looking forward to painting it

That's true. :encouragement:

Agree 100% - the mixture lever detail is just something noticed but far from critical..however I think the Chippie is already really fun

hi EXPAT Which VC is that _ off which plane? Thanks Roland PS: I converted many HJG planes for private use to P3DV5 ( had initial help by Tom Gibson ) and usually works well, just had never a proper VC. So I fly with an ammended Just Flight DC8 VC

Rob has kindly let me have a fly of his Cougar and it is a beauty to fly and look at. So some quick shots.

Nice castoring tailwheel too.

Thanks once again Jankees!! Priller

btw. That's right, however I think this "catch" could be hard to modelled. For me, it's enough to correct what has been noticed and it will be really fun. :very_drunk:

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the N3N-3.

There was some kind of a jacket that went around the barrels (asbestos to insulate the heat maybe?). Anyway, only the end of the muzzles stuck out of the front. A close up photo I have shows it wasn't quite smooth, leading me to think it was asbestos packing. Most were actually white colored (natural color?) but by the dash 5 they had been uniformly painted blue. Thanks for all the kind comments. I'm out of here for the next couple weeks so I'll catch you all on the backside of that. TTFN

Yep, I use it on my planes (when I remember anyway LOL)

Nice paints already JanKees !! The aircraft is beautifully modeled however I also conclude that the flap lever actuation is reversed. Full forward should be zero flaps and the lever should be pulled back or 'lifted' with two detents, first is 15deg and then 30deg (this is correct on the model as far as the two detents) or full flaps with the lever all the way back As noted the VC label for the flaps is also reversed. It is not a show stopper but I would not call it nit-picking either...not that anyone has called it that. Also - the mixture lever movement is correct but it is supposed to 'catch' the throttle anytime the throttle is moved past the mixture lever (such as when in high cruise above 5,000' altitude and the mixture has been leaned for proper aspiration). This is WHY...

Hi Shessi, Thanks for your appreciation, but ... 25nm south of SKLA Malaga (Colombia) in the Andes at 13 500 ft - much higher than Massif Central ;) 10:50 Local Time Gérard Nota : don't know why but today SOH refuses to "reply with quote..."
