    I need everything I can get my ears on! I need a 'clean' shot on cruise sounds...(75-100% throttle) very distinctive sounds for this aircraft, yet so far very elusive!
    I'm literally losing sleep from frustration.

    It's all your fault T, ever since hearing the first few seconds of your 'Radial' video, I've become a nervous wreck! The sound is there alright, but too short to use.

    Interesting problems we have with our right eyes. They just are not what they used to be, but I shall keep plugging along.

    Thank you Robcap for responding. I will then leave open the Interior (VC) model for anyone interested in the challenge. I can provide the basic VC shell and a working panel/gauge backdrop.

    As I think I mentioned before... I am not much on tech savvy... but could do a nice job on the textures for the VC... Just let me know....
    I think you've seen the quality of my work...

    Thank you gaucho. Smoothie is heading up the primary textures efforts although many may participate. Once I complete the exterior mapping, he will produce a paint kit to share with everyone who wishes to contribute. There are so many possibilities out there that all are welcome to contribute.

    My focus right now is on exterior model development; this will likely require another 3 months. Hopefully someone will step up for the Interior (VC) model development and they can decide how to proceed with textures there.

    I hope that you do jump in; we appreciate your talent and enthusism.

    Excellent: I've flown the life out of you're old version tho the uncovered sonobuoy drop tubes and MAD boom drove me bonkers. I can hardly wait to see a GOOD tracker with VS-37 colors in FS9.

    That is what I was offering to work on... interior and VC textures.... I can also do a 2D panel and really nice screwless gauges...

    Gaucho, i'd be more than happy for you to work on the VC textures while i focus my efforts on the externals...

    Maddog, Thanks for the link, bookmarked and standing by for texture usage :salute:

    Milton, she's looking fantastic... always did have a soft spot for the Tracker/Tracer/Trader series, so eagerly awaiting this, great work and keep it up!

    and last but no less least.... Nigel, if your Phantom sounds are anything to go by (< Sarcasm, they're Phaaaaaaantastic!) then this will be another Gem!

    I know the sound pack I am going to use initially...Lawdog's newer B-25 sound pack....that thing is awesome. I will take that pack, tweak it to better fit the Trader/Tracer/Tracker in terms of landing gear and flaps. The engine sounds are simply works of art.

    I did not get a lot of time on the Tracer today but I am happy with how the wing is shaping up.

    Milton, your attention to detail is much appreciated (if a little obssesive, LOL).

    Can't wait to see it completed, your projects are some of my favorites.

    Wing looks great, especially the slotting for the spoilers.

    :salute: Big 'T' you've outdone yourself. Excellent material! My eternal thanks for your kind effort.

    Smoothie: thanks buddy! Learn't a lot from the F-4 sounds.
    The Tracker/Tracer/Trader soundset has to be up to what I know will be another masterpiece by Milton.

    I now have a complete set of exterior sounds: now comes the cfg fun of fine tuning.
    These sounds are proving to be a very demanding and satisfying project.

    It just goes to prove my theory that the input one makes is directly relative to the satisfaction gained.

    Thanks Tom; the wings on this one have been much harder for some reason, and I haven't gotten to the wing fold cuts yet.

    Nigel, I appreciate all teh efforts for bringing us a super sound system for this project. Thanks to all the contibutors to-date for bringing the raw materials together.

    EDIT: Wings, tail wheel and Tail Hook adjustments.

    Great! Whoever will be the OIC on the VC... just let me have the "paintkit" for the VC whenever it is available...

    Thanks; still some work to be done there tweaking the slot, the nacelle/flaps interfaces, and the nacelle blend with the wing. It never really ends; lots to do.

    I think you have plenty of time to perfect.
