Ah that makes a lot of sense... Thanks


Btw, saw a few of you talking about viewing programs, have you tried model converter x? it works with 04 models and x, and allows 3d preview, and animation cycle plus a host of features I've yet to get into really... I use it all the time painting... its very very simple.

Popping in to add some stuff if of any use. Previously Maarten asked if there was any Voice-packs for these. This was a separate thread, and being inquisitive about how it's done, I went ahead and tried to create them. I attached them to the other thread, but in case some who might be interested may have missed them I'll attach them here. I've just cleaned out my attachments so they are gone from the original thread.

They require Editvoicepack to activate and the correct entry in the cfg.

Thanks Firekitten. Just installed this and it's great for what I need to do! Thanks also to Matt Wynn and Dave Wooster for their assistance and advice. The great thing about this forum is that there is such a wealth of experience and infomation that is so freely shared!

Thanks Firekitten. I will try this.

Some folks are used to it if they use MAIW or other AI that includes voice modifications. Once you add the callsign you need to adjust the cfg for callsign, model, etc depending how you want the voices used.

Ah yes, thank you. That is what I needed. :-)

Some have asked, and now it is well along. Lots of time trying to get the PT-6 nacelles shaped correctly but finally making headway. Should have the exterior done by Monday so that mapping for textures can begin.

Yes, I started work on this last January for the CONAIR version and finally got back to it.

I need to redo the antenna configuration and up-size the main gear tires a bit and add a few minor tidbits.

[Milton Shupe]

Hello Milton,
I downloaded the Grumman Tracker Paint kit and I will be happy to paint the color traker to civil security, but it will then dificil to control my work. Is it possible to find this model anywhere?
Thank you very much for your reply.
Best Regards
Marty

Marty is the one who asked for this one back in January and I am happy to deliver it. He also did this livery for the S2A version, an excellent scheme from Marty. Thank you Sir.

[Maarten -]

Awesome! The Firecat will be very welcome. Thank you so much!

Cheers,
Maarten

We appreciate your efforts. Take care of yourself and those sporting events. No deadlines here :-)

And install the short span horizontal stabs and elevators!? LOL!! Looks good though.

"4. The Conair conversions which used the PT-6 engines with 5 bladed props. This engine has exhausts on both side of the nacelle near the front (due to the PT6 being a reverse flow engine, inlet at the aft end and exhaust at the front). These were conversions of CS2F's and S-2A's with short fuselages and stabilisers. These appear to have retained the vibration dampers on the stabilizer."

Best Regards.
Dave

PS. Exterior Paint work on the S-2T military almost done. Will post screenies this weekend.

[Milton Shupe]

Yes, all that is done; just a bunch of little things left to do here yet before starting the mapping Monday.

I did get the tank doors cut in and animated, and the wing tank braces done.

[Duckie]

Awsome!

[fliger747]

Milton:

Any idea what the capy of the wing tanks was?

Not at the moment. I can not find that info in my stash ... will have to do a web search on this one.

[Milton Shupe]

Some interesting and sad stories, all waiting to be told. These are just the pictures.

I'm not a big fan of turbine models, but this one looks awesome! One of the few conversions that doesn't look awkward. Nice work Milton! Attachment 71444


Awkward... needs radials!

Looking like a real gem , Milton. It'll be interesting to see just how much different the turbo stoof is from the radial powered version as far as take-off and landings, and overall flight characteristics.

More interesting may be the difference between the two different TP engines' performance. Have to leave that up to Tom. :-)
