Excuse me, my compliment was meant for Dave Stewart (p3aewguy) for his beautiful paints and the quick upload of a revised bitmap.

You are welcome. Happy to fix any problems.

Very Well Done, Mario... Those Brazilian colours look really nice on the S2-T. I'll grab them as soon as they're available.

Just uploaded version 1.1 of the S2T Military Tracker. This version updates just about everything, model, panels, textures, flight model, and docs.

Model: eliminated one model and made all textures compatible with the alpha-glossiness enabled model. This is important to know not just for appearance sake but also because the paint kit texture names were based on the old flat based textures. So, an _T will need to be added by repainters using the kit for the exterior texture names.

Panels: Added Reverser Warnings, altitude selector for the AP, and altitude alerter, and Master Warning and Caution to all panels.

Flight Model: Improved throughout flight envelope. Ground fine and flight idle corrected, power range more smooth and consistent and predictable/less touchy, and oil pressure warning fixed. Use of flaps/gear effect on pitch and climb better managed/more controllable. Great job by Fliger747. :-)

Textures: Updated to use the alpha-glossiness enabled model. There are still flat/aged versions as well as "fresh paint" versions.

Effects/Gauges: added squeaking brakes
---------------------------------------------------------------

Also uploaded an FSX Portover version with FM, animations and DDS/DXT5 textures tuned for FSX.

You can find them here when approved: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...rid=249&sort=d

Thanks for the heads up, Milton. Looks like you and your team have nailed it! Thanks for all the hard work and effort, mates!

Hi Milton and team,

I noticed that the military version VC has two gauges missing for the right seat. At first I thought I was missing some gauges, but skimming through the thread I saw that this also appeared already in some of Firekittens VC images, so I wondered if this is an issue at all?

Cheers,
Sascha

That is correct; dang sequester!

Well, the right hand driver can always look out the window. Its a miracle they still have a gas allowance ...

Thanks for clearing this up for me!

[Firekitten]

Yep, they're blanking plates not a mistake

[p3aewguy]

I noticed in the screenshots and when I installed the Military version, that the ARA aircaft had black exhausts. This is incorrect and should be the same as the prototype.

Not sure when the wrong texture got in there, but the fix is easy. Copy the msparts texture from the prototype texture and paste it into the two ARA texture folders, replacing the original textures.

[Milton Shupe]

Thank you for the heads-up; I probably cross hands somewhere Dave. Easy to do for me. :-)

[Milton Shupe]

Hans-Joerg Naegele, who did the complex and involved water/retardant drop gauges for the F7F, A-26, and S2Trackers, sent his updates for FSX and we now have working retardant drops for the CDF and CONAIR tankers in FSX. So, I will try to get these released by the weekend. Thank you Hansi

[malibu43]

Great news! Can't wait!

[p3aewguy]

Not a problem, Milton! These are a team effort and all of us make it work. Don't know how you keep all of it as straight as you do! LOL!

Will not work in FS9 due to native textures and FSX specific gauges.

The beautiful CONAIR textures again are by Martial "Ferondoe" Feron and the FSX CDF textures are by Rachel "Firekitten" Whiteford. Thank you guys for the awesome work you put into this one. :-)

[Maarten -]

Awesome! (sometimes I regret not having FSX...)

Cheers,
Maarten

[Milton Shupe]

Thanks Maarten. The biggest difference in the FS9 and FSX packages is the textures. Firekitten invested a lot of time in the FSX textures with added details and shading. The FS9 exterior textures were done by Tankerguy72 although the interior and panel textures were done by Firekitten. Both show the beauty of the CDF aircraft in their own ways.

Also I had mistakenly miscredited Martial "Ferondoe" Feron's CONAIR textures work on the original FS9 release but that has been corrected there and in the FSX version. Marty's artistry is just awesome on the PT6A-Engined CONAIR conversion.

[Maarten -]

Yeah, they (TG, Firekitten and Martial) are great artists!

All in all the "G7" team is a Super Team!

And of course I have to thank the re-painters for their tremendous craftmanship.

Thank you all!

Cheers,
Maarten
