3 years has passed since this was posted, the challenge to finish was great for my experience at the time, but I went head on and learned everything I could and now I feel like I can finish, not at Piglets level but leaving him comfortable to fly, when converting it turned into a lot of welded parts, but after a lot of work I separated it, added instrument windows, started a mapping of the interior that I could give to the VC









a lot of work ahead, I do it little by little and let's see what's ahead

[Jafo]

Looking forward to it...

I'm very happy to see this coming back to life. I had a lot of fun making up 2D panels (open to interpretation) so I could fly it.

[Mario Donadon]

I can finish the Virtual Cockpit, but if anyone wants to help I will be grateful, I need someone to position the instruments, and someone who colors the textures of the interior, that would advance the project

I was also trying to lay instruments in the VC I had no luck. I did get permission from Milton Shupe to use the gauges from his plane though. (That way the plane would have era appropriate instruments.) If you have at least one instrument set in the VC instrument panel and one in the F.E. panel I would be able to (and be happy to) try and map the rest now that you have it set up with something the instruments can rest on.

Are they uploaded somewhere? ...

[Seahawk72s]

Sorry, no.
I "borrowed" from a number of different aircraft to get what I believed the panels looked like. She only flies on my PC.

How about just the bitmaps.....it'd be a doddle for me to set up gauges....I've done and uploaded many 2d panels over the years....

PM was just sent.

[Mario Donadon]

a lot of work, but now with animated commands

[Mario Donadon]

could someone tell me what the function of these 2 levers is, and what movement does it do?

Looks like landing gear control lever on the VC.

On the 2D panel its the parking brake.

Check message #80 for link to pilot manual.

thank you very much, it helped a lot, in case someone has the warchild email? I have to talk to him, but he is not showing up here

Sorry to say I don't have an email for him.

Warchild is active on the FS2020 forum. You can send a PM to reach her.

[Seahawk72s]

A nice, clean copy of the YB-49 pilots manual.
Lots of photos and drawings about systems and instruments that would apply to XB-35.

waiting for Warchild I will continue with the work, everything created by Piglets is mapped, I will create new compartments leaving the interior very interesting

[Seahawk72s]

Looking very good, thanks..!

Hi Gentlemen!

just surfing the net looking for something totally unrelated, I found
this handbook (84 pages) in one of them ePDF free sites.

Thanks for the offer. This may be the same manual as mentioned in message #80.
Definitely looking for a better copy with clear, sharp photos and drawings.

looking nice
