Things have been busy in the PutPut hanger. The second image is a "proof of concept" version of the Convair Pogo. It is shown in an actual vertical take off. Obviously nothing was animated when I did this screen shot. I used the VTOL gauge that Rob Barendregt developed for the FS9 version. It works well for test purposes but has a rather major case of the hicups which I believe is associated with the different way I handled the origin location for FSX. It starts out in the vertical position which gave me nightmares at first. I had a plane that stayed in the vertical when it moved horizontal and even had it going upside down and backwards for a while. That is all sorted out and I will send a version to Rob Barendregt who has kindly agreed to do a new VTOL gauge for the FSX version. The completion date is probably a good month away.
The other project is the Northrop A-17. I have chosen to do the fixed gear version, not because it is easier (it isn't) but just because it is a rare bear. The exterior is almost complete and the last shot shows a good start on the VC. Love those early USAAC paint joibs!
Cheers, Paul
