    I would have love to have been some help Milton but for a couple of months I stopped reading the FS9 forum for some reason. Then I decided to run both FS9 and FSX and started reading this forum again and came across this thread. If I can be of any help just let me know and I will see what I can do.
    Cheers

    Does anyone know if there was a flight manual produced for the S2F Turbo conversions?

    Or, looking for more info regarding panel and gauge differences, other instrumentation differences, ops etc. Working on the panel and gauges for these variants.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you Sir. Beta so far is going well. If this keeps up, we may release one or more aircraft within a week.

    I could use some help finding a good image of the tiger on the RAN aircraft... I'm trying to avoid recreating it since I don't have a lot of time.

    Great job Milton and team. This is going to be the best Grumman Tracker, Trader, and Tracer package out there.

    Thank you ktm. We all here have worked long and hard on this and I hope that it will satisfy the needs as a freeware aircraft package.

    I have sent out quite a few beta test links to get this thing started. I did not want to include everyone (31 names) on this round as the feedback would be overwhelming and my server could not withstand the download volume. If there is a round two, I will try to catch you on that one. If you run only FSX, I do not have FSX portover versions done yet.

    Just some additional comments.

    1) The S2F-3 searchlight switch is on the co-pilots joystick mount in front of the joystick. Corrected in docs.
    2) There was a texture mix up on the C-1A. If you have that, you can re-download.
    EDIT: Actually, there were two issues, and I have deleted the archive until I can fix that.
    3) We have updated the gauge back lighting maps to improve realism. Yours aren't bad, but these are better.
    4) There are some exterior light switch issues being worked on.
    5) The S2F-3 Exit doors only shows 1 door in the cfg. You can change that to 2 for the lower bay doors.
    6) The E-1B and S2F-3 radomes and antennas are activated with the Concorde nose extend/retract keys. I use cntrl+u and shift+u for mine, not sure of default settings.

    Reminder, I would like whatever feedback you have by Friday at the latest if you want your issues considered for the next round, or release.

    Depending on how thorough we are and how things go, we may be able to get one or two of these released within a week.

    Thanks for all your interest and help.


    EDIT 2: I have corrected the C-1A upload.

    Always a few more changes to the cfg and .Air files. One issue that is quite surprising is the difference between FS9 and FSX (Accel) in the tailhook position! Geeze, you would think these, essentially being contact points, would be the same.

    Thanks, there will hopefully be a run on these soon. :-)

    Though it would be a good place to start as this is the aircraft that started the project.

    And thanks to Duckie for teh awesome paint scheme and paint kit.
