Another interesting configuration, that is similar, was raced once by Lloyd Hamilton. See below!

In regards to the A-26A/B-26K screenshots I posted, those are from way back in 2007, when that project was put together. For the cockpit, I basically copied over the seat, control yoke, and rudder pedals from the one side, over to the other (and evidently re-mapped/textured the control yokes and columns). I re-made the instrument panel into a two-place panel, and working with "Real Old Salt" (who made the gauges, the instrument panel, and some of the textures for the original release), some new gauges were developed for it. I also added some basic seat cushions to the seat frames.

My plan for re-visiting the A-26A/B-26K, is just to recreate the model that was, now for FSX, and re-package it with the same textures/panel/gauges as originally (with new prop, glass, and bump map textures). It's not very hard to just look at the original, existing model in the sim, and copy it (especially as the changes/additions that I did make to Milton's work to make the A-26A/B-26K weren't very complicated, lol - it was one of my very first introductions to aircraft model development).

BTW, "Real Old Salt" also made a Lockeed Air Service Super-26 using Milton's source files (a bit similar to those conversions above), back in 2007, for FS2004, which can be found here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...fo&FileID=9538

Also, here is an alternative set of gauges for the original A-26 models that doesn't have Real Old Salt's avatar in the gauge reflections, that Real Old Salt provided, which can be installed/used if desired: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...fo&FileID=8747

John,
Your strategy around the updated model sounds great. Any chance of re-visiting that long-nose idea?

Okay, we're all being to picky!!! We're just taking time away from the next fabulous release of a Warbirdsim product. Really looking forward to the '39...and I mean REALLY.

Some screenshots of Real Old Salt's LAS-26 in FSX, as linked to above (with new prop textures).

Hey John thanks for the link to revised gauges... no ghost. He sure liked his Camels!

Pete and Ali are back at it... lucky I didn't have to paint the PBY. Painted Pete's A-26 from a few photos I found... still need some minor fixes. Both planes are not the proper models. The PBY engine fire effects are awesome! Would like to do that scene where Pete dives at Ali's PBY and drop retardant on the flaming engine. For some reason when I flip the A-26 bay switch... nothing happens, light will come on but the doors remain closed.

Awesome!

For the A-26 bombay doors - press the forward slash '/' key....or whatever you have mapped to the 'air brake'

Real nice screen captures BtW...

Thanks TuFun, I already got the PBY paint by yago9, he did a great job on that.

I am looking forward to your paint to complete the pair, it was a great movie and I think I have it on DVD so I will watch it again.

Cheers

Bruce

Same here Bruce... "Always" DVD will be playing shortly also! I'm thinking of reenactment of some of the flights in "Always" in a TFF video. Especially the part that Ali's engine fire, with Pete diving over Ali's PBY dropping retardant on that engine. Check out the pics, cockpit shots like these will be important in the video!

Now that I can finally do some descent repaints... what better first serious example for me to do than Pete's Fire Eater! Now I need to fade the colors and fix a few things. -Ted "TFF"

For now a few more pics...
