Flowers? Can one eat those artifacts?

aah, you mean those colored things next to the asphalt!
I'm happy that you at least said "asphalt" and not "tarmac".

Today at the memorial (which was a correct tribute) I encountered something very special (very special for me at least): an original piece of a D.21!
On of the speakers this afternoon was Lieut. Gen. Ret. Ben Droste, whose father was a D.21 pilot in May 1940. He ripped, after having to land his D.21, the Fokker logo from the tail. Mr. Droste showed the piece of fabric during his speech today. As you might understand (or not) I went just crazy. I made a screenie from the same thing on my FSX D.21 below. We were allowed to examine the thing very closely. It's beautiful and very special!
That's very special Daan.

Thanks to Penz for helping me out with some Danish texts. I was able to asseble this Danish D.21 cockpit in the last weeks, did an export yesterday. Doesn't look bad. Instrument faces and some labels have to be done still.
There are never enough Fokkers!!

Indeed, never enough Fokkers Cees
And guess what? Today I got an e-mail from PCPilot, they asked permission to include the D.21 V2.00 on their cover disk
Congratulations Daan, quite an achievement with your first FSX model!
I assume you have the book Monograph No 1. Fokker D-XXI Dutch & Danish service by Warren Ebenspracher. There are some very usable drawings in this book from the Danish instruments & panel. Although it can be quite confusing as the drawings sometimes don't match with the photographs in this book.
Cheers,
Huub
Hi Daan
That Danish panel looks great so far :-)
Will the finished version come with Danish repaints as well?
Regards
Kim
Congrats Daan!

Thanks mates! I'm feeling honoured
Yes, I have that book Huub, it's a good source with wonderfully good photographs of the cockpit. From these pics I estimate a Danish text and pass it on to Penz, who's kindly providing me with the correct text.
And I know nothing about Fokkers, I just happen to be an old Danish f#@!! ...
Congratulations with being picked as PC Pilot covergirl Daan!

Good show, Daan!
Work on the Danish VC continued, all placards are done now.
General overview of the panel
Engine instructions
Propeller instructions
Goodie: there was no clock in the Danish cockpit, AFAIK... So, I added this. Same 'winding' system as on my Dutch D.21 VC clock.
Hope you like!
Daan
Getting better and better! Great work Daan!

It's a cockpit to feel right at home in!
The leftmost placard in this picture is particularly fun because it has a misspelled word - just like the original.Engine instructions
- Jens Peter "Penz" Pedersen
Yup, as authentic as possible
Got the VC done for 90% this evening and made a short flight.
VC, with Danish labels, gauges and a custom oxygen system (just for visuals)
Exterior, not much changed since September or so.
Cheers!
Lol, now you're just being mean!
That looks absolutely smashing, LOOOOVE them legs!

Links please...
Thanks
Not yet sir! I want to finish the Danish version this summer, but I'm also thinking of a few bugfixes in my V2.00. I encounter, while modelling and testing, quite a few... So I might combine these bugfixes with the Danish version and release the pack as V3.00. Or seperately...
Any advice on this, guys?
Whichever you're comfortable with Daan
I noticed that the v2 still has the LOD issue on the early model (nose sight off the later model appears according to distance in tower view). Is this something you're looking into? No matter if it can't be fixed

Thanks for the HU DaveB! It should be gone, I guess, but I will look into it
Hi DaanThanks for the HU DaveB! It should be gone, I guess, but I will look into it
I've checked my version to make sure it is V2 and thankfully (or not, depending on how you look at it) it is. I've also run the 1938 model as AI in formation with another aircraft (using AirTrafficFX) and the sight shows at any zoom in spot view less than 0.89. It might show occasionally at that zoom but certainly not all the time. Adjust the zoom to 0.80 and below and it's a constant feature.
If it can be sorted, all well and good but if it can't.. it's no big deal Daan
