    Yup and the P-100 is around 8.5lbs per gallon which would be 10,200lbs.

    Without xml controlling it, I cannot restrict the sequence of things.
    Milton,

    I would imagine if you linked the passenger door to shift + e and the cargo door to shift+e then 2 that should suffice for controlling it. Manfred Jahn's C-121's cargo and passenger door is animated like that. Works fine!

    Thanks for the info, will go with the 10,200 lbs for a full tank. A lot of weight for a little bird!

    That is what I did Dave. One must always remember however to open the passenger door first.

    You beat me to it. I had to wait until I got to work today to find out.

    For those interested the Cal Fire (CDF) S2Ts will take 1000gal, 1100gal, or a full 1200gal depending on fuel, runway length, wind, and temp.

    Here is the break down of weights for both the old D75-F and the new P100-F
    Gallons D75-F Phos-Check P-100F Phos-Check
    1000 9400lbs 8500lbs
    1100 10,340lbs 9350lbs
    1200 11,280lbs 10,200lbs


    I hope this information helps.

    Hey Uncle Milton, im just wondering. Do you plan on doing the radial CDF tankers and maybe the French (Not sure if they had a Radial version or not...) and ConAir (Radial and Turbine) ones? I dont think there are many other tanker variants of the foreign kind that are much different. Of course i can be corrected.

    Cag40 The French did have both radial and turbine Tracker Firebombers. How ever I don't know if they still use them or not.

    If you have pictures, I will see if that can be done with minimal effort.

    Meanwhile, The C1A exterior is ready for the paint shop.

    Since no one has yet stepped up for this, do we have a volunteer to do the primary textures and paint kit?

    The conair tankers (Turbo and radial) were modded fron CS2F's and S2F-1's (short fuselage and horizontal stabs). Probably better to mod these from the S2F-1 when it's available.

    Dave

    Edit: I need to correct myself, apparently, the radial CDF tankers and Hemet Valley Tankes were all S2F-1 tankers. I couldn't find any pictures of S2F-3 radial engined tankers at all.

    Ah, thanks Dave for that clarification. You are correct. Maybe Javis would consider that.

    Well done Ian.

    Immaculate photos of a pristine aircraft in a mouthwatering paint scheme.

    I've finally fallen in love with the turbo version too. Want one for dessert! (please?)

    I have some great pictures of the CDF radials. Yep they were S2F-1s (TS-2A) I have seen some pics of the first ones landing at Hemet in the Orange and white scheme which were then converted into Tankers for HV.

    Meet the New Pilot and Co-Pilot

    Thank you Mr. Visser (AKA Javis). You have outdone yourself Sir.

    What a great contribution to bring these aircraft to life. Excellent animations. I like how they talk to each other too.

    Low poly for the excellent appearances and textures. Awesome work!

    The new seats look great too, very realistic.

    This really completes the C-1A exterior with a touch of class.

    C-1A Interior Artist Needed

    Okay all you texture artists, now is the time to step up to contribute.

    I am close to finishiing up the basics of the cabin interior so this aspect of the C-1A should be done this weekend.

    We need someone willing to slap some paint on in here.

    PM or respond with your interests please.

    Thanks to Mgr for volunteering to do the exterior model.

    Hey Middle; thanks for your continued interest. We have quite a bit to do yet before reaching the beta stage. Everything is still a work-in-process.
    However, if you want to piddle around in one of the five aircraft in alpha stages of development, tell me which you have an interest in.

    These are the WIP aircraft: E-1B, S2f-3, S2Turbo (Military variant), S2T CDF variant, or C-1A.
