SOH Team Project - Grumman Tracker, Trader, Tracer

[Milton Shupe]

Truely wonderful work! Using the Concorde nose/visor for animation will not work in FSX, as it is a known problem. Bill

Hmmmm, I'll see what else is available ... maybe water rudder rotate :-)

Status update: Finished wing fold modeling and wing mapping.

EDIT: Hmmm, I see the wing fold hinging is on the rear half of the top surface so I need to move that back.

Such a beautiful aircraft and you have captured it well!! Hats off!!!

Salivating!
We're not worthy!

She's looking spot on.

Great detail on the leading edge slots too. I wonder if its these that 'whistle' at certain speeds...

Great Job, keep up the good work!

Boy oh Boy! Milton!! Am i glad i stumbled in here after a long while ( strickly FSX for quite some time now.. ). What a great surprise ! One of my fav militairy prop twins which i have always had a keen eye on to do for FS too ( i got as far as gathering info.... )

Looking absolutely superb! Congrats to you and everybody else involved in the development !

I have a good mind of installing FS9 back again just for this but i couldn't help noticing a native FSX version is in the works already too. Wow!!!

If you happen to look for a crew to fly your lovely Tracker,Trader,Tracer ( or 'Stoof' as it was known here in Holland when it was operated by the MLD, flying off of the 'Karel Doorman' ) let me know and i'll ask around in the mess here. The're all seagoing boys (N3N, Turkey) looking for promotion.

Great to see your pension plan has been suspended, Milton, and you're fully back at the vertex grinder wheel again ! It's like the ol' Hotel California, isn't it...You can check out any time you like but you can never leave !

Cheers,
Jan

LOL Jan. YOu never cease to amaze me with your knowledge of worldly things.

Being retired leaves us with a little extra time on our hands, but in no big hurry to get things accomplished. Yes, we do hope to "fill this gap" of the "stoof" family over time. The E1B and S2F-3-E now and the C1A up next, then the S2T.

Maybe someone will come along, grab the gmax source and add the other S2F variants as well (1 and 2). Euroastar is working on a native FSX variant of the E1B as we speak.

The Eagles had it right, and that has always been a favorite song of mine; loved the guitar work in that one.

Thanks for the kudos, and for dropping in.

[Maarten]

AHA! So that's where you went, Jan. I missed you here!

Groeten,

May i kindly request on behalf of all the dutch here, also make a S-2F-1 version? The one with the radar on top of the cockpit?

Marcel

Marcel, I have lots of pictures of that one as well. I will certainly try to get that done for all of our Dutch family here and do it happily. You bet!

Yes Milton! PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASE. (almost on my knees)

Cheers,
Maarten

Okay Maarten, are you guys ganging up on me here with the "arm twisting"?

The -1 and -2 have the shorter fuselage as does the C1A so it will not be much more to accommodate your request after the C1A.

[Maarten]

Milton, you are the BEST!


Cheers,
Maarten

[mgr]

Milton, you are the BEST!
