Boeing P-26 Peashooter

[falcon409]

Just an update of sorts to the thread that has long since disappeared for AF Scrubs Peashooter. I have redone the Multi-colored "95th Pursuit Grp" livery in 4096x4096 "dds" textures. . .I changed the Philippines Camo version to the one you see below which was one of a group of 12 sold to the Guatemalan Air Force as "Trainers" in order to get around a ban at that time (1940-41) by our Government against sending warplanes to foreign Air Forces (also 4096x4096). I also redid the texturing in the VC as shown in the image below. Also, the beacon and strobe have been adjusted slightly so as to be more visible. . .however I was never able to get Nav lights to show despite the fact that the Aircraft.cfg file seems to show them (possibly never included in the mdl file?). Other adjustments include the fuel tanks being added, contact points corrected, minor adjustments to the Engine section and additional info added to the aircraft information blocks (ui=, atc=, etc). Finally, I added some gauges to the panel (ADF, MP, Flaps), edited the engine primer bitmap to knock out the square background so that it looks like it's mounted into the panel and not cut out of a magazine and pasted on.

If anyone is interested, I'll post the zipfile, if not, I'll go back to having fun flying it by myself.

Definitely interested, Ed. :encouragement: I've been interested in the P-26 since building a very small Revell 1/72 scale kit back in the early 70's. Happy days. *sigh*

Would Love to have the updates here as well Ed. A nifty machine, especially as it works in P3Dv4.1 nicely.

Love the
Peashooter ! Lee

[AussieMan]

​I'm interested in the updates Ed.

[falcon409]

I just found something I missed on the 97th Pursuit Grp livery, so I'll upload all of it in the morning.

[txnetcop]

Great work Ed...thank you
Ted

[Anthin]

Very very interested Ed. I still have a model I built long years ago.

It has the Indian head,(Warbonnet) Red stripe and the number 13.

Anthin.

[strykerpsg]

Great looking piece of plane you put together Ed. It's amazing how much tech transformed from post WWI to the beginning of WWII. This plane definitely showcases the transition from bi-wing to mono-wing, open air to closed cockpit and even fixed gear to the retracting gear. So much more power and speed picked up when all the aerodynamic drag was cleaned up and this plane captures all that in between tech fantastically. Thanks for the time and energy to put this together. The pictures are simply fantastic.

[falcon409]

Just a HU to anyone who might have this airplane and couldn't get the Nav lights to show. . . . . . . .make the changes hi-lited in red and blue and the lights will display correctly. Also, if you have the ability. . .add a Nav Light Switch either on a pop-up or in the VC. The Nav lights were originally set to "8" (Wing). . .incorrect. Thanks to Bill (WND) for pointing that out.

Yes please falcon... just let us know when and where available. It's a nice little model but hd textures would be a plus.

Matt

[falcon409]

The package has been uploaded, just may be awhile before it's available.

[falcon409]

The package is available now and Rami passed this along to me after correcting an upload error for me:

Excellent work "alx", by all means continue on and make them available.:applause:

Thanks Falcon

Great textures Alx... variety always good

Beautiful textures, Alx. :applause: Would love to have a copy of your work. :biggrin-new:

Indeed, "alx", you have my vote. And thanks to you Ed for putting yours up. Loaded 'em up right away.

[blanston12]

Thanks very much for the update Ed.

Was playing around with the updated Peashooter and am very impressed, less cartoon-ish than with the original textures. There are a few tweaks I made to adjust it more to my liking.

I moved the default view point forward 0.4 so that when you look to the side your not looking through the head rest.eyepoint=-2.062, 0.000000, 2.550340

I decreased the brakes scale by 0.3 so that she does not nose over as badly when you try to stop.
toe_brakes_scale=0.700000

The updated radio's use the ones from the alphasim b-57, which I don't have installed, and if I did the gauges would not be in the master gauges folder so I downloaded the B-57 from the alphasim freeware site and copied the ALPHA_B-57B.cab file from it into the peashooters panel folder. I am considering switching it back to the default 'portable' radio since that is what you would have if you were flying a restored P-26.

Alx, you have my vote also.

[IFlySWA]

Thanks very much for the adjustment tips, Joe. :encouragement:

I did the same but didn't mention it, sorry.

Alx, you have my vote also.
All the gauges needed for the update were included. There is a P26_panel.zip file included and the B-57.cab file is in that zip. No need to have downloaded again.

Your absolutely right, I really should read the instructions next time.

[IFlySWA]

The rudder animation on the P-26 appears backwards on my model. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Yes. There is a fix for it. If you can't find it here I'll get it to you when I get home.

[IFlySWA]

Oh, I see it now. Don't know how I missed it. :biggrin-new: Thanks!

Brian

[Josh Patterson]

:encouragement: Sweet little ship, isn't it! Might use Milton's D18 sound on it so it gets the prop buzz like POF's!

[alx]

I have made most of the work on some skins. Can anyone give me details about stencils? Thanks.

[huub vink]

Hey Alessandro,

Good to see you are still around!

Is this useful for you? : https://www.net-maquettes.com/pictures/boeing-p-26-walkaround/

Cheers,
Huub

[alx]

Really useful. Thanks a lot Huub!

[alx]

Work in progress

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=57424&stc=1

[falcon409]

Better than what I have alx, I could not find a decent Sq logo (Owl). Also Huub's link has stencil info I also could not find (I didn't try very hard though). I did this same livery, I may use his link to add the stencils so it looks a bit more finished. Keep up the good work!

[IFlySWA]

The stenciling is looking great, alx. :encouragement:

Brian

[alx]

Hi Falcon, now I'm away from home. When back I could send you the Photoshop layer with all the stencils.

[falcon409]

Hi Falcon, now I'm away from home. When back I could send you the Photoshop layer with all the stencils.
Thanks alx, but I use Paint Shop Pro, and have never had much luck getting Photoshop PSD files to convert. I'll use what Huub sent to get the stencils in place. Thanks for the offer though. By the way, where did you find the Sq. Logo (Owl?)

[alx]

Falcon, please give a look here:

And, about owl logo, I painted it myself checking with photos and drawings, as usually do with
logos and insignia.

A new livery in 4096x4096 is ready:

Thanks to all who made this the nice little piece of work that it is... fun to fly and look at! I had forgotten about all the colorful paint schemes the Peashooter appeared in as well!

Thanks again! -Mike Z.

Yes. There is a fix for it. If you can't find it here I'll get it to you when I get home.

I too have looked for the fix for rudder animation so far all to no avail. Where am I missing this? Do I need new glasses perhaps? Lol

Thanks in advance for any guidance...and much thanks to A.F. Scrub, Falcon, alx and others for reviving this historic aircraft for FSX.

If you downloaded the Peashooter from the SOH Library, the fix is right there as well. I'll get the link in the interim. bbiab.

[p14u2nv]

Thank you very much Falcon...started to feel really dumb as I just couldn't figure that one out. I usually go post by post incorporating the mods you folks make manually before installing in FSX...old school way I guess! What was that about never flying an "A model of anything?" lol Again thank you much for your help.

Last paint for P-26A
