    Enter the Dragon (WIP)

    Engine start in ETO, this is what happens with ~2500hp on the nose.




    This is what happens when you let Bravo/4 loose on your model:-




    Lights are built into this one, so you too can fly a Christmas tree:-




    This model was inspired by wip shots of Dancat's P-38, so here's another two in the hope someone else is inspired (and I have got to get back to the VC now):-

    WOW... She's 'a one beautiful Tempest II...

    I dunno why, but I've always loved this one... I fly it more than any other in FS9, so to me this is marvelous news and a spectacular unveiling!!!

    I know I'm totally RAF biased but that really looks the dogs b*llocks Tom & John. Looks more like an FSX model than a cfs3 one.

    Very much looking forward to seeing it finished.

    It certainly does! Especially now he's got the _r and _s textures done as well! Many thanks to Ted for nudging me in the right direction to get these set up correctly!

    Thanks to everyone for their kind comments, the VC is ongoing...

    Hi Hairyspin, is that screen shot from cfs3 or another sim? reason why I'm asking is because the decals are very clear, if it is how did you get it so clear? When I take screen shots the detail seems to be lacking.
    Thanks

    It's an ordinary ETO screenshot, although the textures are 2048x2048. To enable high-res textures (if a model has them), see Reg's Hangar:- http://www.regshanger.com/Groundcrew...20settings.php

    VC progress shot

    Getting the pieces assembled - slow progress, but it is progressing.

    The colors look a bit off to me.

    ...it seems as if you've improved the VC's perspective so when one looks around things don't get quite so weird... :mixedsmi:
