Grumman Goose G21A Wheel lock

[gray eagle]

The labels on the tail wheel lock are opposite from where they should be i.e. the unlock label should be on top and lock on the bottom off lever for these two repaints
This is sample of the two repaints with opposite placement of labels:

This is the labeling for the other textures - unlock is on top.

These are the two repaints with the label issues:

Butch,

I sent you 'repaired' texture files. Just replace and up is unlocked, down is locked.

I found the Samoa airlines paint:

And the labels on the tail wheel lock are juxtaposed. I wonder why that is?

I've found three repaints that way.

Butch,

I just found my old copy of FSX and in it the MS Goose. There are six textures included and in each, the tailwheel lock labeling on the instrument panel is opposite from the OzX Goose.

When the group put out the OzX Goose, most everybody discarded the MS Goose. Some painters didn't read the docs that came with the OzX Goose that told of the numerous improvements in the model - ones that corrected MS mistakes. One was the textures were improved to include 'bump' texturing and improved specular texturing (and correct labeling). If the painters had used the OzX paint kit . . . . . . . . . .so here we are.

Hi Joe,

Butch has a keen eye, I just noticed same issue and was wondering if you could PM me the repaired file as well. Hoping it's just the switch labels that need swapping, and not the entire instrument panel with gauges etc. that needs to be also redone - in that case I would just live with the mis-labelling as the instrument panels came in black, white, and the rough black texture in the Samoa paint - too much work IMHO.

Thank-you,
Milan ........

Interestingly, I found one picture of a Goose panel.
The MS Goose labeling was correct. The action was incorrect.
Up is locked, down is unlocked.

MZee,

I can't attach anything to a PM. PM me you email addy and I'll send the 'Samoa' panel fixed.

Thanks again Joe for the fix for the Samoa paint:

So is MS correct and Ozx incorrect or ....?

What is strange is that the Samoa paint states it is for the OzX version of the Goose.

I have gimp and paint.net but would like to know how to put those labels like they are with the OzX paints.

Samoa paint here is one example:

Yup, it sure looks that way. Now I wonder why OzX labeled it backwards?
