Carenado Mentor

[DaveKDEN]

Re-paints work. To save space, you just need the following .bmp files from the desired re-paint;
Carenado_mentor_fuse2_T
Carenado_mentor_fuse_T
Carenado_mentor_interior1_T
Carenado_mentor_interior3_T

Then, copy the texture.cfg file from one of the default Maule's texture folders into the desired Mentor re-paint's add-on folder and add to the aircraft.cfg as you normally would. You really only need the re-paint's "Carenado_mentor_interior3_T" file for the Navy 'B' model if you want something besides a yellow pilot helmet. For example, I added the Navy blue scheme by Kevin Jessee, and the default helmet is still yellow, unless you keep the Carenado_mentor_interior3_T from his re-paint in the navy blue texture folder.

Hot Dang,been waiting for this one for a long time,I love the new turbo T34 but this one has been a favorite since FS9.

Sweet. Purchased!

Note to devs: $20 is an impulse buy.

It is definately an FsX native then?

[stiz]

self shadowing vc means 100% native FSX model

[DennyA]

Yep. FSX native.

Despite the FAQ entry that says they don't offer upgrade prices because of the extensive reworking of the models, this looks to be 100% identical to the FS2004 version from what I've seen. Just is compiled with the FSX SDK and has all the shadowing/lighting/performance improvements from that.

But given that I bought the FS2004 version 4 years ago, I didn't mind spending the extra $20 for the reworked model.

I'd like to see the pilot from the rear VC!
To the developers: is it possible?

There's a great sun-burst scheme that was my favorite for the Fs9 version. It will look great in the FsX one too

Looks like history is repeating itself, with two Mentor models being released simultaneously (the other of course being AlphaSims). The Carenado model was easily one of my all time favourite aircraft in FS9 and I'm sure the FSX model will be the same. I'm off to Carenado now . Hopefully I'll be able to resist getting the AlphaSim version as well. It does look sweet, but I have to watch those pennies.

Fantastic, loved the FS9 version.

I would LOVE to see this in EVERY aircraft, especially helicopters where I simulate SAR missions and I am the one looking out the door. Kinda throws you to look back up and realize no one is flying the chopper

I can see both sides of the equation. You have a realistic-looking cockpit interior, and then you look over to see this mannequin with plastic hair sitting next to you... That can damage immersion as well.

The best solution is to let the user toggle the pilots on/off. Makes everyone happy!

[Roger]

Ahhh...





I guess I broke da fence

Agreed, problem is, there is no option, LOL.

I guess I am just biased since my other design stuff includes figure models and they are realistic, so I can see how possible a quality model can be in the VC.
Couple of stills from some projects, everything is 3D mesh. Would love to have one of these next to me in the VC

I wish they all looked that good Michael...but then I might not ever leave the airplane:costumes: Fantasies of the Mile High Club
