That's no unusual weather for our part of the world, right Marcel? Much of this year's Summer has been like that. :)
Cheers,

Standing by to convert the remainder of the models and VC when they become available.

Well, thank YOU, Milton ! I am really very exited about your new project, here's a small token of my affection for the Stoef, from the days *before* i changed my aircraft modeling ambition from paper/wood/plastic to digital...Quote:

If there's still a slot open it would be my pleasure to help out on variant conversion in any way needed. ( i still run a Gmax/FS9 exporter too next to my Gmax/FSX setup ) It would have to be work 'on the side' of course but i am so exited about this project and would love to lend a hand where ever i can.
Say, Milton, haven't seen any pilot figures in the WIP screenies sofar, if you haven't accounted for these already, i'd be happy to start with those.
Probabely maybe superfluous but here's some stuff i found in my internet fav's re the Tracker,Trader,Tracer.
Although a bit 'glassy' still a good all around view of a Tracker cockpit, some nice views on the seats too:

A dutch site with good Stoef cockpit panels/instruments diagrams in English :

Tracker,Trader,Tracer survivors all around the world :

Another dutch Stoof site, devided amongst all nationalities that used it:
http://home.wxs.nl/~roden171/index.html
And yet another dedicated to the airfield Valkenburg with abundage of photos of dutch MLD Trackers :
http://www.oudvalkenburgzh.nl/pages/...jvliegkamp.htm
You probabely have them all already but maybe other afficionados might enjoy some of 'em.
If there's anything i can help out with, External or Internal, both my Gmax setups are available and my Corel PSP Pro X3 too. :cool:
Cheers,
Jan
Hehe, yes, Maarten, very much stuck to the dark side for quite some time now. I love the dark side. Even traded my flying overalls and helmet for a cloak and mask while flying my fav speeders. You should see me... :costum:Quote:

Far out, euroastar !! :applause:Quote:

cheers,

There is some interesting reference points and articles on the Stoof here; and other goodies too. I am suprised at how quickly this is comming together. Bravo Zulu!

See the graphic for the basics from the FS9 implementation.
Also, please feel free to change the window glass and props blur to work better in FSX.
Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks Lazarus; informative link. It also shows why we modelers have such a fun time trying to learn the variants, the window differences in this case, and often get criticized for getting them wrong. There are at least 4 window variants that I am aware of but we will use just two.Quote:

We would all be honored to have you contribute on the S2F-1 variant. The -1 was so very prevalent around the world and there are so many uses and liveries to be done. It is certainly a project unto itself. I urge you to do this with our blessings. :applause:
You are correct; there is no pilot yet. Thank you for offering. :jump:
Ah, yes; great links, pictures, history, and stories. I picked up a few things, and got clarification on the length of the MAD boom extension at 9'.
Thank you very much Jan. :applause:
Uncle Milton,
The props and glass have been fully updated, the updated props shown in the shots, will post shots of the updated reflective glass later. I will keep playing with the tailhook to see what comes out of that.
