This Dutch geezer felt like a spoilt brat already with the Grumman 7 lot and the Turbo Firecat.
This screenie you posted, Milton, and the screenie of your VC and the paints earlier on, Firekitten, make me even more happy. I know I have to wait but I can't.....
Cheers,
Maarten
we gonna git a blue gel retardant option?..............
jest stiring da pot................
one other thing,tankerguy can tell if they do this state wide,or its just something i see up here,but usually the landing lights in the wing are on during a drop run,when they turn base to final for the drop run is when ive seen them come on...and from a ground pounders stand point,it sure helps us to see the incoming plane.
EDIT: tankerguy's shots on post 2727 clearly show what im talin about with the lights on for a drop..
Actually I have 12 versions of the textures used for the retardant.
Two are used in combination in the FX to give a sense of volume, texture and depth.
I have never seen other colors so cannot duplicate that. However. making a copy of existing and editing to change the hue should be easy enough.
Thank you Sasha. They are much better than what I started with but not nearly as realistic as they can/should be.
Unfortunately, the FXEditor program does not show all the FX changes properly so the next improvements will come at a larger time investment than the 12 hours already invested.
Really beautiful job on the S-2 Turbo. Thanks Milton,
I guess I missed something in the read me, but I can't figure out how to release that red retardant.
Thanks in advance
The pre-release did not have the effect. I just recently installed the retardant drop mechanism and FX. Once we have the new panel grapics and gauges in place, all four of the S2T variants will be released, two tanker units with Garrett engines, civilian tanker with PT6A's, and military units with Garretts.
merci Milton, Nous voyons voler cette machine tous les étés à Perpignan pour la lutte incendie.
Votre travail est remarquable

I can add wig wag lights to the FSX model as I have the XML controller for those lights, not sure about FS9 as I don't have FS9 installed on this laptop, I can provide the XML for conversion into the FS9 makemdl format. Since I'm on a holding pattern with the Dash 7 FSX conversion, I can take a crack at starting the X conversion of the 2T aircraft. Uncle Milton, what do you think?
I'm with the FAA and I'm here to help you.....................Now gimme a hug!
Is there going to be a civie version of these? no tanker or military just something to haul some cargo around it.

This would be fantastic! I once had a go at creating the effect by changing the timing within a new landing light fx cfg. Unfortunately they soon synchronized.
As far as I know this effect doesn't exist for FS9 yet, it certainly would be a great enhancement!
My sincere apologies to Daniel, I was 'trying' to be sarcastic. Now I'm stuck with a red face... :redf:

The FS9 models and packages will be different from the FSX packages for various reasons. There are actually 6 models on each side, total of 12 models.
I have not tested the tank retardant drop on the FSX side yet, and the panels, textures, and FM's are different. Not sure about the FX differences just yet.
Not going to rush these out because of all the differences; too easy to get my hands crossed here.
If you wish to send the xml code, I will look at the requirements and if reasonable add to the FS9 side. (BTW, who owns the copyright to that code? Will need permissions if used.)
I have a series of minor changes to make to the 6 models so would prefer to do these exports only once.
How is the Dash 7 native conversion going?
So happy to see this part of the Grumman project nearing its well deserved release.
Modeling excellence , exciting handling, fabulous work from our texture artists and now an incredible drop effect -massive improvement.

There is a civvie version of the C1A in the SOH library. Virtually the same aircraft.

Uncle Milton,
The Dash 7 conversion is on hold until Mike gets back at me with the final detail layers for the nacelle bump maps.
The XML for the wig wag lights were provided to me by Bill Leaming for my Bell 222 project, so credits go to him for that.
