Great to see the Duck coming alive!:applause:

[Wozza]

Hi
Looking great.If you want hear some kick a$$ engine sounds,get a DVD of the 1971 movie Murphy's War staring Peter O'Toole.There are some long start up and flying scenes with no music or speech just the lovely sound of a sick radial engine :)
Wozza

[gajit]

:applause::applause::applause:

[icarus]

thanks for the infos wozza i will look into.

[jankees]

cool!

[Roger]

Great stuff! As Wozza said the sound pack will be very important on this one.

[Cirrus N210MS]

that looks like the freeware model that was created for operation flashpoint:kilroy:

[gera]

Now, that Duck looks really nice............Bellissimo!!! un modelo di prima categoria!!!!:applause:

[EMatheson]

that looks like the freeware model that was created for operation flashpoint:kilroy:
Well, if they are both legitimate Ducks...

[icarus]

that looks like the freeware model that was created for operation flashpoint

we have our modeller. seems there is always someone want create problem where doesn't exist...perhaps it's time to goes on another forum.

[gajit]

Hi Icarus

I dont think that was meant negatively - i would consider it a compliment as they look both great models. Im sure yours will be better :jump::jump::jump:

[icarus]

Cirrus we have contributed to have closed at least two piracy website as many develepers here know very well, contacting other companies and more office so if you want accuse someone try something else , do not need lessons by you on what is correct or not.

[Mithrin]

Now that looks cool! A must have for me, cuz it floats and looks odd. I love those funny looking planes! :D

[djscoo]

that looks like the freeware model that was created for operation flashpoint:kilroy:

considering they are both models of the exact same plane, I certainly hope they look alike!

[Roger]

Icarus,
Any idea when it will be ready?

[icarus]

end of june first days of july roger...have to setup how flies and sound and probably the ground part of contact point.., the rest it's ok....actually in my test seems flying as in a video on youtube...it has roll motion as the original, i have just received two other version few minutes ago from the modeller and i m uploading new screenshot in a few minutes

[icarus]

two other versions added for the future release

i am noting saying anything sept it looks like the same model thats all looks nice been waiting for s duck for a long time:icon_lol:

[RyanJames170]

nice duck

[icarus]

i am noting saying anything sept it looks like the same model thats all looks nice been waiting for s duck for a long time

k no probs sorry for misunderstanding cirrus

[heywooood]

well I'm sure there was no intent to imply anything either from what I've read in this thread -

Thats looking like a nice Duck icarus....I love the yellow top wing themes of the prewar navy bipes -


But I must ask you icarus ol' pal - where is the P-26 ? ?

I hope still in the pipeline...yes?

[icarus]

where is the P-26

boeing p-26 need much work before release...next ones are dragon rapide and grumman duck or dh-4.. i have seven aircraft to finish...and the 40 days of inactivity(health problems as someone well know here) didn't help..i just restarted few days ago..hope all seven new models will be out this summer. thanks for asking heywooood

[jojohnson9]

Oh please hurry, been waiting for long time to fly the Duck.

[icarus]

i will try to hurry but sound engine part take much time to find resources and prepare it.

[heywooood]

thanks for the reply icarus - yes I remember reading that you were recovering from a very serious hospital stay...

Glad to know that you are well enough to get back to work on the FSX projects you were posting about before.

the P-26 can come along whenever - I know it will be a solid model with great support when its ready.

[icarus]

I know it will be a solid model with great support when its ready.
yes as we maked with pitts and gladiator constantly updated and downloadable in three updated versions...same will happen for future models if something goes wrong.

[icarus]

i have restarted Grumman Jf2 project, so it will be our next release this month

[Epsillon]

Good news! :ernae:
The first screenshots are really cool...

Regards,

Stephan

[Tim-HH]

Really a nice looking plane! :applause:

But I think that the rivets are way too big. They should be much smaller... just compare it with this picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/J2F-3_NAS_Jax_1940-2.jpg) :)

Greetings
Tim

[icarus]

But I think that the rivets are way too big

that was only a preview nothing to do with final....texture is what i am going to work on this week....the preview generally its the model without textures or with based textures...there isn't a real texture exteriorly.

[Javis]

i will try to hurry but sound engine part take much time to find resources and prepare it.

Hey Icarus,

So did you get the Murphy's War DVD like Wozza suggested ?.... If not here are your sounds :

http://dailymotion.virgilio.it/video/x7ksme_murphys-war-1971_shortfilms

( take notice of the water spray, maybe you can add something like that to your Duck package ( just kidding :d ,good water spray for float planes is terribly lacking in FSX isn't it...)

Obviously the sound quality is better straight from the DVD. In Italy you can get it here :

http://cgi.ebay.it/Luomo-che-venne-dal-Nord-1970-DVD-NUOVO-P-OToole_W0QQitemZ330287358935QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDVD _Cinema_Internazionale?hash=item4ce6a923d7

( remarkably Murphy never holds any gun what so ever in the movie.. ;))

Or at amazon.com UK. Highly recommendable, one of the most exiting movies with aviation as subject ( and trying to sink a submarine with a crane barge... )

Might be that it won't hurt to add the Mount Kyle livery from the Murphy's War movie to your Duck package. Maybe even include Murphy himself.... ( and the 'Molotov Cocktails' underneath the wings.... ) you'd only need to dress up your pilot figure with the light overalls and special hat Murphy is wearing during his bomb run.

We could then fly up and down the Orinoco to find that sub hidden underneath the lush vegetation. ( add a small scenery with the hidden sub and a special Murphy mission. If we find and hit the sub with the molotov cocktails we'll get the Murphy reward. Ok, i'm getting a bit carried away here. Spiacenti :d)

Imagine your Ducks' release advert : " Murphy's War comes to FSX ! " :)

Ciao!
Jan

[icarus]

about the sound i will try the best about new feature is a little more difficult due grumman model is definitive and actually we are working on storch..it's possible as with other past models we will make an updated version with a special pilot as you suggested.

SAWEET!!! lookin forward to release!

[Roger]

Looking good:engel016:

[jankees]

Oh yes, I'm waiting for this one, and I did by the DVD!
Those rivets still look huge to me though....
Another question, on the Gladiator, you had the shine baked into the model, which meant that it was easy to repaint (no alpha channel necessary), but it also meant all paintjobs were shiny too, even the camouflage....
Would it be possible to leave the shine out of the model, so we can have non-reflective paintjobs? Or am I asking too much?

Thanks for the link Javis! I really need to add that movie to my collection. It's always been one of my favorites.

[icarus]

Would it be possible to leave the shine out of the model, so we can have non-reflective paintjobs? Or am I asking too much?

reflection on those texture are completely different from the gladiator...it doesnt only landscape reflection how you can see from the images...it's possible i will rework also the gladiator and pitts s2b texture on future with this method i have created yesterday.

unfortunately this model will not have a psd file for paintjob, i will take this note for other future model. (actually how was builded the texturing part is also very complicated for me for this model) it is really complex texturing it and i m only to the external part..i will also take care of vc texture soon.

post scriptum...i have just asked to the modeller to add a version with murphy pilot.

[Helldiver]

It takes me back to 1939 - 1941 when I was a hanger rat at USCG base at Winter Island, Salem Massachusetts. They had five Ducks. I got my love for airplanes from those days.

interesting...which skins they had?

[Helldiver]

They were painted high gloss silver and when the war broke out they were flat gray on the top, light gray on the bottom. I wasn't allowed on the base after that. Our house was right on the water and I could see the Coast Guard Base from there The planes would take off in my "back yard".

[Panther_99FS]

Outstanding - Another fun aircraft to add to my "list".....:applause:

(Now if I can just stop buying photography stuff):kilroy:

[heywooood]

keep up the good work, icarus - as soon as I get ahead again I'll be visiting your store

[Javis]

post scriptum...i have just asked to the modeller to add a version with murphy pilot.

Far out, Icarus ! :ernae:
Couldn't find a 3-view scale drawing, this'll have to do :

http://sectionf8.com/f86files/murphyshat.jpg

Model looks great but watch out with those rivets. You don't want it to look like an Aurora plastic model from the 50's ! :d

Hardly any riveting to see on the real thing :

http://www.airliners.net/photo/Grumman-J2F-6-Duck/0144116/L/

Bumpmapping sure is a nice FSX feature but if overdone it can ruin an otherwise great looking model. Sorry for the lecture...

Great photos of the Salem hangar! Gonna be part of the package too, right !? ( just kidding, although..... :mixedsmi: )

Ciao,
Jan

[peter12213]

Really love this old gal!

[Helldiver]

That hanger view shows the Hall Flying Boat. She had two pusher props and had a peculiar, loud sound. Only goes to prove that the sounds from an airplane are one third propeller, one third aerodynamics and one third the engine.
Here's a picture of a pre-war J2F. The one I remember was VT-140 and had "Winter Island" under the U.S. Coast Guard.

[icarus]

Great photos of the Salem hangar!

if i m able to reproduce yes...about rivets modifying rivets are not visible...so i m sorry but i will not change..i can make skins in two ways with bump mapping and without so all are satisfied. in the skins you show rivets are near to be invisible in some other they are. modify the rivets it's really problematic with material i have and do not looks good..if you read in our forum i just answered a week ago to this.

the murphy pilot in some scenes didn't have the hat so it will be...if i have to ask also the hat will take much time and many people want it fastly. seems the skin of murphy pilot is the same from last skin i did...i am correct?....change only the uncovered engine part that we have on another model.

[icarus]

Here's a picture of a pre-war J2F. The one I remember was VT-140 and had "Winter Island" under the U.S. Coast Guard.

i will replace but without antenna

[Helldiver]

The RDF antenna was the prime reason they could fly outside of land fall. However, as I can remember it, the loop was replaced with a black tear drop antenna. But without it, it would be limited. This was in the day before Loran or any other type of direction finder. It kind of went with the aircraft.

[icarus]

k i will try to ask to the modeller the antenna...not easy he is working to the storch now.

[Helldiver]

The PBMs came at the end of the war. I saw one trying to make a JATO take off and only one side lit. It crashed in the water and there were two men killed. It was not a popular aircraft. It was called the Ronson because of it's aptitude to catch on fire.

[gajit]

Looks great appart from the rivets :applause:

[Moses03]

That hanger view shows the Hall Flying Boat.


Actually that is not a Hall. It's an American Fokker built PJ-2 FLB or "Flying Life Boat".

Now back to your regularily scheduled program.:)

[icarus]

NO IS THE PJ-1 The title said A 1937 photo of a General PJ-1 flying boat inside the CGAS Salem hangar.

Surely lots of rivets on that Duck's skin but they are VERY small and only really show from up close :

5034

For your small rivets you might like to try this: create a vertical row of dark rivets of only one pixel, copy and paste as many rows needed. Turn one row 90 deg. to create a horizontal row and copy and paste as many rows needed. You'll now have a layer of the complete rivets pattern in dark color. Copy the rivets layer and paste as new layer which you then brighten up.

If you want rivets laying upon the skin place the light colored rivets layer one pixel *above* the dark colored layer. If you want the rivets to look more flush to the skin, indented even, place the light colored layer one pixel *beneath* the dark colored layer. Will look like this :


http://sectionf8.com/f86files/rivetsmall.jpg

Play with the transparency slider of both layers to get best result. Mind you, this is no bumpmapping, pure handwork. ( i think repainters will love you for it. :) )



the murphy pilot in some scenes didn't have the hat so it will be...if i have to ask also the hat will take much time and many people want it fastly.

The hat is of course the most significant item to identify Murphy as the pilot of your Duck model. If you like i'll be happy to create that hat for you. Gmax or 3dsMax. :rolleyes:


seems the skin of murphy pilot is the same from last skin i did...i am correct?....change only the uncovered engine part that we have on another model.

You can have a reasonably good look at Murphy's Duck with the movie link i added earlier. On both sides it reads 'RN/MS MOUNT KYLE'

The shade of blue you already have on one of your Ducks might well suffice, yes. Check out the roundels in the movie clip.

Louie : Can you fly !???

Murphy : Who do you think kept this flying lavatory together ??...


Would be great to hear that before engine start sound, wouldn't it...:bump:

Bravo Fantastico Icarus !:applause:

Lovely skins !

Looking forward to the Duckie but please don't rush it, take your time, amico ! :)


Ciao,

[icarus]

another update Actually rivets will remain as they are...i have tried with modifications and looks so bad.....so i am sorry but i will concentrate on skins sound and other features perhaps missions and salem scenery.

[icarus]

there also two new versions arriving...with two different antennas f-5 f-6

http://www.flugzeuginfo.net/acimages/j2f6_robmelehan.jpg

http://www.zianet.com/tmorris/JF-2number148.jpg

as i finish new skins i will post screenshots...tomorrow should arrives the murphy's pilot version

[Mithrin]

Thanks, always good to have that variation! :D

[piperarcherpilot]

Looks great, apart from the rivets! :applause:


Actually rivets will remain as they are. Such a great model to have two-inch-diameter rivets. That would be one heavy and indestructible 'cast-iron' airplane if it was like that in real life! In those screenshots, the craft's rivets sometimes resembled those from the Titanic more than an airplane...lol. ;)

http://www.sfgate.com/c/pictures/2006/05/20/ba_titanic20_mjm_005.jpg

Cool to watch the progress though, and very nice modeling and texturing, icarus!

[icarus]

yes....there are many will buy the titanic...better write on our forum....missing such comments lol. perhaps made aircraft with defects its a way to avoid " some" buy the aircraft...better life for developers...more than a post seems always a HIT to the developer...actually just tired of this.

you know what....people want to buy come to visit our website to see when will be released...others can continue with the game

[gera]

started sub on saturday.......Mission or Flight Adventure in the Orinoco as soon as Duck is out!!!

Yes we must be positive - you wont strain your eyes if your a rivet counter as they stand out so well.

[piperarcherpilot]

icarus, sorry, it just seems there are so many people pointing out the rivets (which was the first thing that struck me, too) I wanted introduce a little comic relief! No hard feelings. I wasnt however sarcastic about the compliments! It does look good!

[Cag40Navy]

will you make the duck with the tail hook? if you look at the first pic, theres a tail hook, so will there be one? this would be a great!

Exp. (the first pic to show what im talking bout)
http://www.flugzeuginfo.net/acimages/j2f6_robmelehan.jpg

[dougal]

Sorry, another rivet counter here. Much as i love this plane, the rivets will stop me purchasing:-(

[CG_1976]

Such there is a Coastie paint, im in for buying this Duck. Also I see Helldiver posting here helping.:icon29:

[heywooood]

stay with us icarus...

I look at your rendition of the Duck as an homage to Grumman - not known as 'The Iron Works' for nuthin'

:icon29:

[Cag40Navy]

icarus, please, as costumers, all where asking is to reduce the size of the rivets.... please.....
it may look good to you but as costumers, we should be the ones that ask for big things like this, the rivets are too large and all we are asking is to just reduce the rivet size, it dosent look good to us and where the ones that pay you for such a good product. there has been to many complaints bout it to not ignore it. please, it all where asking is to reduce the rivet size so everyones happy. it dose take away from the realism. but on the other side, it is getting kinda old hearing, we want the rivet's reduced. but, it is understandible wanting a better product since where paying for it.

(ill still buy it....)

PS: will there be a Tail hook version of the Duck??? kinda like i posted earlier?

[SpaceWeevil]

Be careful what you wish for.

Seriously, this thread has been largely positive, supportive, full of praise and even helpful advice, so I don't really understand the snarly response to the only piece of polite criticism. Anyways, I'll just wish Icarus well with it (sincerely) and wait quietly for the Storch...

[Roger]

Rivit size didn't seem to harm the Catalina sales, probably because it's a larger aircraft and anyway it's a beautifully made model.
I'll bet that some modelers leave the rivits large as the vast majority of the buyers will have TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024 where smaller sized rivits may disappear and any changes you make in the top menu that affect the FsX.cfg in any way, put it back to 1024!!
Mathias' Fw190 has probably the most realistic rivits in FsX but he constantly reminds us all to make that TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048.
My first screenshots of The Fw190 on the forums had the lower settings and the rivits weren't visible (that was so embarassing, I will never make that mistake again:isadizzy:)

So from the screenshots I've seen of the Duck it is a fantastic rendition of an aircraft in FsX that probably wouldn't have seen the light of day were it not for Icarus.

But two-inch rivets are not a solution for this problem...removing the mip maps would be a solution ;)

Yeah I agree. But my vote is we just let him be about the rivet issue. He made his mind up it seems so theres no sense in continuing to push the issue, we'll only end up making a negative environment in here.

BTW I think a (proportional) tailhook model would be cool as well. :)

[Cag40Navy]

all i am is just rapping up the rivet issue so he keep making his product, I REALLY WANNA TAILHOOK VERSION!!! yea, i dont care bout the rivets on the aircraft so much as to stop me from buying it, but i just hope it raps things up bout the issue.

[Helldiver]

I still have the Monel spreader bar from this Duck that crashed in the St.Johns river at NAS Jax.

[gera]

You rivet pickers have riveted Icarus into a stage that he is not talking anymore....I have flown some real planes where rivets pocked out so bad it looked as a rash....Jesus Rivets!!!!!!:kilroy:

[gajit]

If any other producer ........... oh never mind ........... i personnally like my rivets to scale.

[icarus]

screenshots for roger and the others lol, Grumman first of two antennas version, soon also other antenna's version and murphy war's version


i really wanna a tailhook version
perhaps there will be later

Wow! Looking good!

[Tim_Horton]

I'm not sure if you know this but over at www.turbosquid.com there is a really if not exact model of this bird for free. Might want to check it out, it looks the same, has the same rivets and everything, I saw it and thought to myself, Is this thing for free? Damn its too nice to be free!

http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/grumman-j2f-max-free/300052

[d0mokun]

The textures are completely different. Besides, there's a heck of a lot of work between a pretty render and a ready-for-sale package.

:173go1:

i have started to register engine sound directly from the movie so that part will be accurate 100%

cant wait icarus! Thank you!

[Piglet]

Lose the overscale rivets, and you got yourselves a winner!
Those rivets remind me of the old Airfix model kit I used to have.

Well done on Murphy's machine, Ica ! He looks good too ! :)

Great to see you didn't give up on your Duck project ! :ernae:

Actually rivets were reduced and only in last three schreenshots..the murphy version they looks reduced..the previous schreenshots are from old version, so actually the rivets looks as they should and as are visible in this screenshot from the movie...believe we can talk of something else than rivets now, there will be also three missions maked by the courtesy of gera for example
