Capceo,
I watched bman's video and was extremely impressed with the level of systems and those sounds :applause:.

But, what did strike me was the texturing, that's the one thing that has held me...

Rest in Peace Tom and thank you for giving us AVSIM.

Yep. Mt. Scott is great and I always thought that the ridgelines around Ft. Sill and Lawton shielded us from Tornadoes. Cool little area around Lawton and NOT FLAT :D

A must-have for me. Been missing my old AeroSim L-10 in FSX.

I used to work as a ramp rat at KATL in the early 90's. I miss driving around on a tug and getting hit in the face by the L-10's APU...

Absolutely gorgeous and one of my all time favorite aircraft :jump:

This is really nice of you Obio :salute:

Baton Rouge, LA

Great thread by the way :salute:

Wonderful work Tim, good thing I'm finally getting my FSX-puter this week :D

Thanks Smoothie! :ernae:

Looks incredible Bill!

There's a new repaint of her in Flightsim.com's screenshot forum. She looks sweet with flames :)

I'd absolutely love to see her in a video, with FSX/multiplayer at Reno, Stead with Mustangs and...

without purchasing them from the company, this is the only size I could find while researching photos.

Ed,
This may help with the names on the gear door

More stuff

Okay, these may help. I can't believe I found them!

Ed,
Now if I can only figure out why the gauge reflections work on your system and not mine :isadizzy: This one had me stumped for two weeks straight and I finally gave up. Apparently it did work!...

Google "Rutan's Watergate"

Absolutely fascinating read over at the air racing forum (18 pages worth) from the members of the Pond Racer ground crew regarding the Pond's flights, engines, cooling...

You could always put the names of Sim-outhouse junkies and folks working on her :D

Ed,
I know that the names are part of the crew, but man, I can't/couldn't find a single good quality photo to work from.

You and Mike's screenshots are awesome. It shows just how bad my computer...

Awesome work Tim! Only wish I was flying both FSX and FS9 at this point.

Your quite welcome sir!

The texture sheets are pretty rough and I didn't have the right tools to really do the job correctly. Believe it or not, most of the texturing was done with MSPaint,...

Falcon,
The tail graphic is indeed like that because of the pinstriping, red on top, blue on the bottom, so the number colors are reversed on either side.

The text next to the rescue should...

Hey guys,
I made the worst mistake a designer could when I built her in FSDS 3.0. :banghead:

0,0,0 is NOT the CG. The CG right now is at the instrument panel, when it should be at the 25% WRC....

Tom,
My biggest issue with her is that I/we couldn't get her to fly right. She either sat on her gear great and flew like carp, or she flew like batstank and sat horribly on her gear. Unfortunately...

Thanks Joe! ;)
A little background on the FS9 Pond Racer:

She was built while I was stationed at Q-West, Iraq. Upon returning home this past August, I lost EVERYTHING on my laptop two months ago...
