Hi everybody,

I may think you find this intresting, another dutch plane yay :P
So this is my personal project the Fokker GI which I will, excuse me AM creating.

So here we go. I started this project because I am sucker for dutch planes and I wanted to try and do a pretty detailed model of it including but not limited to:



4 lods for rendering at several distances (this will not work in fsx but does in warthunder which this plane was orignally intended for
4 damaged lods again does not affect fsx but warthunder it does
a detailed cockpit model and here you guys need to come in :3
and a collision model again does not affect fsx shamefully :/
External animation
Internal animation

So yes quite a few bits....... And I need help because I ran into a few problems regarding info of the cockpit, the problem is, there isnt allot of it and certainly no information about color and such. Obvious color out of the black and fotos were only a few...........
anyone have any info (particulary closeups) of the cockpit for data regarding the function of instruments lettering and color?

Now the pictures. Well I got quite a few here you go.

Great to see this model is done for FSX. I have been involved in the development of the one below and I should still have quite some information.
There are quite a few interior pictures, but it was very difficult to find out whether it was a prototype, Mercury or Wasp version on the picture.

At this moment it would be much easier to gather the information required as we now have the splendid books Fokker G-1 part 1 and 2 by Frits Gerdessen, Karel kalkman, Cor Oostveen and Wim Vredeling. When you want to build the G-1 Mercury I advise you to purchase the book as it contains a wealth of information.

Cheers,
Huub

Yeah I read it unfortanutaly it is a bit on the pricey side so I rather borrow it, such a shame but I get it. Btw the textures on that plane are just amazing I am going to see if I can make something like that to :)

As you can see on the images of the VC, the model made ny Michel Migaud was never finished. However I still have all information, based on which you should be able to create a nice VC. But to be honest the VC is just the first challenge you will have to meet. The middle section where the radioman was located has his own set of instruments and so does the rear section with the gunner.........

This is why it is a actually a very complex model to create.

I will send you an e-mail with pictures from the real cockpit. As we are both Dutch it should be easy for us to communicate.

I really recommend to buy the book Huub adviced you. The authors offer great insight into the two G.1 versions (which are completely different). Moreover, it gives a good insight in everything related to the aircraft and the Fokker factory then.

When budget is limited try to get part 1 of the Fokker G-1 books. This covers the development and contains a lot of technical information. Part 2 is more about the operational use of the aircraft.


And a few pictures to stay in the mood...... :biggrin-new:

Looks very promising. I'm glad the information I mailed you was usable.

Some minor remarks, I think the lever, which was there to put all levers in "start" position, between the throttle levers is a bit too small. I think you are missing the mixture lever at the side of this throttle box (4). The Please take a close look at shape of the the selector knob (34) in the right-hand side console.
Also the pedals might need some additional work. These were flat pedals with a leather strap on the top, which went over the feet.

For those who don't realise it this is a pre- WWII cockpit. Very advanced for its time. As this was one of the first aircraft which used the now so common consoles on both sides on the cockpit.

Cheers,
Huub

Thanks for the heads-up Ian. I do know Aeroplane Monthly, but I'm not sure its available in the Netherlands anymore. The market for these high quality magazines is shrinking in the Netherlands and so is the number of shops which sells these type of magazines.
So I have placed my order at the webshop.

Yeah I agree with you on the pedals part. Will try to update that if I have time. As for mixture level I didnt even see it was next to 1! The selector knob will be thickened a bit to resemble the shape a bit more. Btw do you have more information where all those switches and stuff where for so I can make a texture for it?

Lodewijk, the unwrap you made might not be very usable when you arrive at texturing. This applies to the unwrap of levers, tubes and all that stuff. In some cases it is sufficient to have just a 'Project from view' type unwrap, but for most parts it is not. I make my unwraps with the repainter in mind, he should be able to find most parts of the model back on the sheets.

Huub, by the way, did you receive my e-mail then? Since you appear to have a slight problem with your mail...

Most of it can only be viewed froma certain angle or just one single color would be enough than I did that. That is except for 2 levers and the fuses I dont know how I missed that thanks! Btw call me zie or ZiePeregrine please, thank you.

I want you to say which to use, the winner out of the contest will probably be used as the camo patern if nothing comes up. (like if I see colour reference point, these points can identify if a color is used correctly as on that point two very different colours collide for which you can sort of make out a gradient scale I will do my own decision.) Can't spot them atm and thus you vote!
To vote for which image is more historical go to:
http://strawpoll.me/7408763 (http://live.warthunder.com/away/?to=http%3A%2F%2Fstrawpoll.me%2F7408763)

LVA colours are often causing violent discussions. There is one reference which provides the colour numbers according the Federal standards. However there is also a remark that the "light grey/sand" shade wasn't accepted by the LVB (the B is for "bedrijf").

The paint was delivered by Sikkens, which wasn't the original "designer" of the colours, due to which you can have quite interesting discussions about this topic. Sikkens doesn't have any information about the paint anymore. And there are not much people left who actually saw the aircraft.

At the (old) "Nederlandse Luchtvaart" forum I was able to show 8 different colour schemes which were all called authentic by someone. And they all had their reason to call it authentic.

You should upload your pictures in JPEG instead of PNG, there will be smaller in weight.
Also, the current pictures are quite dark and small, and this makes it very difficult to judge the actual colors I think.

Here are the two pictues currently posted above:

As Huub said, the colours could cause violent discussions, as nobody knows them. Maybe it's better in this case to use a more artistic yet convincing approach than a purely technical one.
I had to make a choice as well for my D.21 and T.5. Because of the nature of our hobby, I decided to use a public reference (Simmerspaintshop) for the colours instead of a literature one. Also, this is easy to use in computer software.

I was a little upset when I realised SPS was downed together with NLV, but fortunately Arjan left the colour charts online. This is the Dutch one: http://www.logtnest.nl/explanation-of-the-color-charts/color-chart-rgb-and-hex-values-for-dutch-colors/
Use the upper three if you decide to use them. They are based on good sources.

Beware of the numerous 'purists' (one of which I am) that will throw tomatoes as soon as you show your colour choice. Whatever you choose, it will be incorrect, but I believe that's inherent to this colour scheme. I'm now so far that I think of the more artistic approach.

https://skfb.ly/POFn (http://live.warthunder.com/away/?to=https%3A%2F%2Fskfb.ly%2FPOFn) for the guys intrested I uploaded the model of the Fokker GI to sketchfab for your viewing in 3d :), it still needs some optimization and triangulation but generally it is good. (this model is not to be accurate for the cockpit and such.

Great to see there is still progress. I wish I had the time to do some virtual painting, but real life is keeping me quite busy currently....

Cheers,

Hello,
Back in my FS9-years I had this G1 also as part of my collection of Dutch Heritage fighters. Now I have Prepar3D V4 but unfortunatelly the FS9 model is not working in there. Apart from the many goodies P3D V4 has, some "old" äircraft using outdated airfiles or bmp,s are not compatible.
Now my question is, will the new G1-model be compatible with Prepar3D V4? I very much hope so.
With kind regards,
Piet de Geus
Netherlands.

It'd be surprising if this is still being worked on, considering one and a half years without any news.

It actually is!

I took a break because I found the updating of the texturing excruciatingly irritating, in the resolution I had been working in, it makes my photo editing software crash every 2 minutes. Recently, however, I did do some work on it and here are some renders (weathering not included)

Update! Please criticize colour, weathering etc so I can improve it.
The texture is not yet done but is pretty far :)

(I am aware of the gears bays they will be updated)

I'm no expert on the colors, but just wanted to say that it looks great and to ask if there's still going to be an FSX version?

Thank you very much :), I will try to implement it in FSX, need to speak with Huub or someone else for that because I have no experience in importing aircraft to FSX

Hereby another update on the Fokker Gi, this time about the cockpit. There is still work to be done (like the rudder pedals) but the rough texture is here, together with accurate inscriptions and completed gauges (except for the needles) Zoom in to see the inscription and gauges.

After this I have never heard anything anymore. I also think it was never released for War thunder.

But for those who are patient, I have seen another silhouette from a G.1 in this forum......

Je maakt het me niet gemakkelijk, Huub! :biggrin-new:

I believe this has been released for WarThunder, I've seen a video of it at least.

I thought so as well, but recently I came across a War thunder thread where they were still asking for one in the game. So I assume it has not been released.

Oh and when you don't (re-)post the image yourself I will do it for you. As there is much more known about the G-1 than for the T.V and it is a simple aircraft compared with a T.V you must be able to finish it in something like 4.5 years :biggrin-new: And as you have many parts already modelled for your D.21 and T.5 even 4 years might be feasible.........

Have a good weekend!

Even if this makes Daan's life a bit more difficult, I'm waiting on this one!! It's like a Dutch P-38!!
