Thread: Martin Marauder Gold for FS9 has been released

  1. #201
    Now making some progress with various animated parts but lots to do yet to flesh out the ECU and electrical panel. That will take a while.
    Parts are animated once in place.

    After that I will add comm radios to the sidewalls, and seats, then add the miscellaneous eye candy.

    Today's focus has been the ECU, aka HAL, and the electrical box.

    Everything added is animated and functional.

    BTW, HAL has been acting strange lately ...

    Does anyone know for certain what type of rivets were used on this airplane? Specifically, what I'm asking is "Flat"(surface rivets) or "Domed". Thanks

    Perfect eye candy... IMHO!
    I'm continuing with work on the fuse... in layers, so things can be changed around as necessary

    Does this help? A restoration so not sure of accuracy.

    As you say, it's a restoration and I know from experience it can depend on the person supplying the money that sometimes dictates exactly how accurate the finished product will be. That being said, aside from a few areas on the engine cowling the majority are domed rivets so I'll go with that for now, it can always be changed even after every rivet is in place

    Wrapped up the ECU and electrical panel for now, reshaped the panel, and now moving on to populate the cockpit side walls with comm gear.

    This one is owned and restaured by teams from Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace at Le Bourget Airport. Since then, it was transferred to a exposition close to Utah Beach in Normandy with US marks. As far I remember, It was really good looking in Free French colors and the restauration works very accurate.

    I have the basic cockpit comm gear in place minus an impedance converter box, and something I have not identified yet. But, it's progress.

    Checking out the work and animations in FS9 to sort out any issues.

    I'll be ready to add VC panel gauges after today. Might be a nice break from the modeling for a day or two. :-)

    It really looks good... lots of volume... and shape...
    You are doing great!!!! Very impressive!!!
    Think it might be nice to add a little shine to the leading edge of the flying surfaces... and make sure the panel lines and various highlights show through the livery...

    Finalizing the wing textures

    Got the inner surface of the flaps... just need to add rivet work on the trailing edge of the wing upper surface...

    Mapped the VC panel for textures, added nite gauge back lighting, and plugged in the basic gauges from my inventory. There are 6-7 special gauges needed to better match up with the original but overall, the layout is accurate with some basic related substitutions. The fuel gauge, oil and flap shutters are separate gauges, by engine, etc.

    Now, I am off to collect all the various comm radio textures, assemble, and get them to display.

    After that, I'll move back into the Nav/Radio area to populate it with various desks, radios, chairs, etc., put in a bomb load in the bomb bay, then move up front to do bombardier work.

    Once these areas are populated, I will add the pilot's seats, a pilot, bombardier, then map the interior for textures. That's the game plan moving forward.

    Once that is done, the package will be put out for interior textures, panel work, sounds, effects, etc.

    Amazing to watch you put this together Milton. Beautiful work!

    Thanks Ed. It's the same when I look at your scenery work Sir. Amazing how realistic you make it.

    EDIT: Just completed the comm radio textures and they are looking good in the sim, so ... next .... Ughhhh, the Nav/Radio area.

    Couldn't bear to start a new area today so thought I would add 4-1100lb bombs and a pilot to check my poly count status. Yikes! Had a big scare on export with over 100 errors. Turned out to be a bad link on the VC pilot's seat to nowhere. Anyhow, got the export done and after a few adjustments, this should work out nicely.

    WOW!! This is coming along!

    Been away with personal 'life gets in the way' stuff.. just checked in last night and holy cow have you guys been busy!! The model is coming along fabulously Milton.. and the painters.. OMG.. you guys are on overtime!! That natural metal finish... drool......

    A nice paint kit with all the panel lines, rivets, exhaust stains, shadows, grime... this is going to be one beautiful model!

    Can't wait to put a coat of olive drab and grey over that natural metal.. then start chipping and wearing off the paint!

    For a decent VERY weathered paint to look good though, a model with a 'non specular' (as in VERY flat..) finish is in order. And of course.. for a natural metal one.. a different finish with a shine to it will be required! (with some serious alpha channel tweaking).

    Shiny aluminium... faded aluminium, new camo... and very worn camo.... The B-26 has been photographed very well in them all!

    Still quite busy with real life issues at the moment (my Crusader repaints were my 'coffee breaks' from this), but I'm hoping to add a t least one repaint to this airplane.

    ps.. one thing... something has gone terribly wrong with my download from post 141... and the update in 165.. Seems my um... "weight and balance" are a bit off.... WAAAAY off!! LOL

    and yes.. I tweaked the nosewheel a bit.... didn't like how dark it looked...

    Cheers
    Dave

    link to B-26 reference page

    For the painters.. and well.. anyone else here who is interested.

    This link goes to a page of links with several Walk Around photos of a couple of museum birds (good for rivet detail etc.) and decal sets with some photos of various markings depicted!
