I think i could fill in the cockpit paint too. If you think that'll suit all cockpits for the time being i'll deliver the 2048x2048 version of 'cockpit.bmp' with the filled in details.

Cheers,

Jan, those crew figures are awesome work! Reckon we'll be seeing more of those Gentlemen?

Thank you Javis. All are the same, or close enough to work.

Thanks,Nigel, love your sound suites, well done !

I hope to upgrade the crew once i can find some time. Animated lims of the pilot with, possibly, a throttle arm that will only reach for the throttle if throttle is applied ( i suppose a tricky one.... ) and a movable visor, that sort of thing.

@ Milton : thanks for the new window frames !

( i'm preparing an email re the cockpit textures )

Cheers,
Jan

I will definitely share them as soon as I finish some little updates

This one is done in memory of Gary Nagel who died October 5, 1998 during the Mt. Edna Fire. I was down at the base watching him reload a couple hours prior. Dedicated to a hero.

Oh yea! Nice job on that

***Sunny9850*** · November 20th, 2011, 13:14

Nice graduation on the stain, but I think the first 1/4 or so of the bay would have less stain going up the fuselage sides as the slipstream would be tearing more of the solids backward.

Just an educated guess on my part of course, it's been a while since I looked at the birds at Hemet or they visited Rialto.
