    Where I can find a good reference or a guide for panel lines for this plane? If I can find a good detail reference, I will be glad to help with making a PK for the S2-T and also if needed the S2F-3.

    I will upload the texture templates for both and send you a link.

    I will also load what I have for panel line references.

    Thank you

    EDIT: Everything is uploaded; links send by PM.

    Yep, Milton's right.

    If they're anything like those awesome F-4's, we'll need the bibs when picking a bunch!

    S2Turbo-Military variant: No paint kit done yet; Laserbeak is looking at this one

    S2F-3-CDF Variant: No paint kit done yet; Tankerguy72 has done paint scheme(s)

    S2A-CDF variant: No paint kit done yet; Tankerguy72 has done paint scheme(s)

    S2T-CDF variant Turbo: No paint kit done yet; Tankerguy72 has done paint scheme(s)

    Sorry I didn't see. I was focusing on the Tracker shots.
    Can I ask you, if possible, to paste a simple transparent texture on those windows ? Recently I made a flight with the HS-748 from Rick Piper and I forgot how good the windows were looking with this multi-color transparent texture pasted on it. Would be nice to have something similar on your planes.

    Here is how it looks: http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/657653zkcwj9.jpg
    Do you see what I mean ?
    People could then get totally transparent windows by simply altering the alpha-channel, if they don't like that.

    I do see, and great point raised. Thank you.

    The glass_t.bmp texture is setup so that the texture artist can vary the primary colors and alphas for degree of opacity, and well as night time appearance.

    Some example to show colors below.

    Ohhhhh! Most definately YES!

    Look how well it sets off the inlet window details too.

    Well, I'm (not so)patiently awaiting the release of the C-1A. I really like the looks of that plane.

    The models are done. We are needing some paint to be thrown on some of them, and we are awaiting panel gauge progress.

    We do however have a nice temporary panel put together by Sieggie until the other is completed.

    If I had every model painted, I would release them with the temporary panel which is VC based, not 2D.

    So, what we really need are some texture artists to finish up these models. (See my recap above.)

    I hope that satisfies the question and requirement to allow anyone to "doctor" the windows anyway they wish, including some fogging around the edges if desired.

    Shots of Current Status

    Here are a few screenies for you ... we need texture artists to finalize our work here. We appreciate your interest.

    The blue and gray schemes on the C-1A are from "Mgr"s hangar and paint shop.

    ... a few more of the untextured.

    You have seen the works of the CDF variants that Tankerguy72 posted earlier. All these variants make up the 7 available models.

    Looks like the Tankers are close to unveiling. Very nice!


    Maybe of interest for all watching this topic. Just small bits of reading material. Something I stumbled upon while searching the WWW.

    That's going to make great reading OB. I'll just pretend I didn't see 'The Thing' though. It used to get me knee deep in cattle dung.

    Hey OB, I'd love to see some of your handiwork on some of these 'Stoofs'!

    Milton,

    currently rebuilding my system from scratch, Windows done, currently doing all the updates on my painfully slow broadband, then comes FS and programs, once I'm done and ready I could lend a hand splashing some paint, give me a couple of days to get everything shipshape and I'll be in like Flynn, interiors, exteriors, etc.

    I've been watching this develop from the start, then everything went mammaries skywards on my computer, hoping to be back in soon.

    If I can help, I'll do my best.

    Jamie
