WIP:sneak peak

[Wozza]

Yeah Im still working on this thing :)
made a bit of progress so thought Id post a couple of in game shots
Cheers

It is shaping up very nicely, Wozza, thank you for giving us a closer look at her!

It looks like a great canvas for plenty of paint schemes by the way. ;)

If you happen to be on the lookout for any more reference sites, currently there is an extremely nice SNJ-5C listed on the inventory page of Courtesy Aircraft Sales' site. On there are numerous photos both inside and out, as well as a link to plenty more photos taken during its restoration.

Wozza!

Looks brilliant man!

I have missed your creations. Good to see another one back in the production queue.

Some famous birds. They have trained many an ace in the past decades...

Is this FSDS borne or Gmax?


Bill

[jankees]

Oooh, that looks very promising!

Great job!

[Tylerb59]

Very nice!

[harleyman]

Looking good......

I'll take mine in Navy Blue please ! :kilroy:

[AussieMan]

But it is not a Wirraway :isadizzy:

Cheers

[Wozza]

Thanks Guys :)
John: wait till ya see the texture mapping,you will curse the day I was born :icon_twi:
Bill: FSDS and FsdsTweak,the pilot was born in G-max(thanks Mike) but Felix dragged him kicking and screaming though the conversion process so now he's an fsds convert(out of the closest so to speak ;) )
Aussieman it was a coin toss and it came down tails :icon_lol:

But it is not a Wirraway :isadizzy:

Are there many external differences between the T-6 and Wirraway, other than the extra gun? Seems like a paintjob would make it close.

Interestingly... The Wirraway shot down a single aircraft (a Zero, whose pilot must have been very embarassed in his last moments). What I didn't realize was that that was one more than the Boomerang... Always thought the Boomerang was neat looking.

Very good looking model Wozza :salute:

I think it proper to let folks know that Wozza is not one of your everyday, run of the mill developers. Every time I've popped into the developer's forum over at Freeflight Design Shop, asking for help on my own AT-6 project, Wozza is almost always the first in line to give helpful advice and sometimes even gives help with xml code. Sometimes Fr. Bill is first, but usually it's Wozza to the rescue.

May your willingness to help others, even when they're building a plane that others might consider competition be richly rewarded.

Beautiful work Wozza!!:jump:

[PutPut]

Looks great, Wozza. I already have several airfields and a couple of carriers in mind!:applause::applause:

[stansdds]

That's looking great!

[mike_cyul]

As a lucky beta tester, I can tell you there's some truly excellent and unique gauge work in that plane, and it's only going to get better. :)

wow....

Looks really smooth! :applause:

[Wozza]

Thanks ppl
Ive just uploaded a very very badly made start up sequence video (yeah dont give up ya day job :D ) dont know what happened in the upload but the video repeats itself its only suppose to be 1 and 1/2 min long
anyway enough of the excuses for those who have a few min they dont want pop over ere ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owWQFteN1vA

The rudder of the Wirraway was larger and different with a continuous curve on the trailing adge whereas the SNJ/T-6 was a straight line. And there was a noticable gap in the area where the top of the cowling meets the top of the forward fuselage. Very noticable. Otherwise quite similar.

Perhaps the video is not as bad as you think, as at least I understood you were starting an aeroplane ;)

Thanks Huub....its a shame the G model didnt have the inertia starter ...DOH!
1 week wasted getting it to work and now I have to remove all the code ...ahh well at least I learnt something....... **** lol
Wozza

[stansdds]

I was thinking the inertia starter was incorrect, but I wish an inertia starter could be added to some other FSX aircraft. Even some aircraft that originally had cartridge or direct electric starters have been restored with inertia starters. A preoiler would nice for some restored aircraft as well. There's nothing like the screaming wail of a preoiler, then the whine of an inertia stater, then electric fuel pump whine followed by copious amounts of smoke belching from the exhaust as a big radial coughs to life.

Can ya tell I love reciprocating engines?

Yeah its a bit of a b u mmer :) but if ya learn something it hasnt been wasted. At least it helped me get around the silly FSX nano sec starter.
Ill post up the code others and I have nutted out, hopefully we may see more realistic radical radial start ups in the future ;)

:applause::applause::applause::applause:

A gripe I have had about the FS series is the poor starting sequence with reciprocating engines. It's hard to believe that the MS team could not find a way to make the starter crank the engine through at least three revolutions before the engine fires up. Even Oleg Maddox was able to implement a slow start in the Il2 series.

[Wozza]

Hi
Yeah a bit of an ooops :) anyway posted the code over ere if anybody looking at the vid is interested

[Bjoern]

Quality work!

Especially when considering the planned price tag!

[Dexdoggy]

Really nice looking plane, looking forward to it!

[Mr.Mugel]

Looking forward to this one, too! Looks very nice....

[huub vink]

Like Roger and Mike (in another thread) already mentioned it is a very well done model. As it is an advanced trainer it is not as simple to fly as I expected. It has some unconventional animations, for instance you have to open the canopy "by hand" as shift-E will only unlock it.

Cheers,
Huub

[stansdds]

Most aircraft of the WWII generation used a crank for canopy control, it's nice to see feature that included. This is looking great!

[Ferry_vO]

Great aircraft, probably won't be too long now I think! :applause:
