Great work Martin! A lovely New Year's present!

[Ravenna]

Not just a good looker but very reliable. Thanks Martin, Stephan and Kevin!!

Some news from Harry, the external model goes forward, but a lot stay to do, Harry tate made its first sortie.



Badly a shell smashed off the cabane struts over the trenches, but she succeded to come back to the hangar.



So, the things are going slowly, but surely

Cheers
Martin

[Klein]

Harry Tate flies now with its full armament, some picts during a sortie over St Pol






Still all the VC to do, and a set of gauges to have it finished, the model uses actualy nearly 40.000 vertices, MakeModel keep on to compile it for now, let's see how long...

Best Regards
Martin

[Ravenna]

Lovely work Martin. A very reliable mount, and easy to land, but I wouldn't want to take evasive action in her. Love the livery!

[Klein]

Thanks Ravenna for your good words, I'm glad you enloy the Harry Tate.
The Re8 wasn't the plane that would have win the first price for beauty, and she had some reputation to be a "Fokker Fodder", but she was involved in lots of reliable tasks that drove her into the legend, I built as a child the venerable Airfix kit and it stayed since in my imagination.

Cheers
Martin

[aleatorylamp]

Very nice progress indeed, Martin!

[kdriver]

A beautiful job with the compass - well done Martin!
Cheers,
Kevin

I saw you uploaded your RE8 for FS2004. Will you upload the CFS2 version as well?

[Klein]

Bonjour Roxane

Oui, je vais publier le Re8 pour CFS2, évidemment. J'attends pour ça une série de livrées pour l'étoffer, il n'aura rien à envier à son alter-égo de FS9, je travaille actuellement sur une manette des gaz en 3D animé par des gauges pour le cockpit virtuel.
Bien cordialement
Martin

Yes, course, I'm on the way to publish it, I wait for extra liveries to fit her, she won't have anything to envy to her FS9 sister, I'm working on a throttle 3D animated with gauges on the VC.

[aleatorylamp]

Hello Martin,
A true masterpiece. My congratulations!
It´s lovely to see so much detail.
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp

[Klein]

Thanks for your good words Stephan, I'm happy and proud you like it

Cheers
Martin

Hello Martin,

...and you can be!

One thing is to make a reasonably decent model in AF99, fighting the
limitations, and adding some SCASM, and quite another is to get oneself
into Gmax with any degree of success.

I tried at least 4 times in the last 15 years to get myself into Gmax,
to no avail. I never got beyond the tutorial.

Cheers,
Aleatorylamp

[Cody Coyote]

Wow! That is really looking good!

[UncleTgt]

awesome cockpit details

[Klein]

Thanks all for your good words

I worked this evening on the E. Hollocoombe Clift airspeed indicator



Stay some instruments to do to reproduce this panel



As to follow, cheers
Martin

[Klein]

This week's work: the altimeter up to 16 thousand feets, and the Mark III Worsnop switch box.





Badly I don't have any precise pict for the oil pressure gauge (panel's upper left) and the fuel quantity (under the windscreen, visible from a mirror). If someone could have picts from the Shuttlelworth, TVAL, or Brussel's Re8, it would be fine

Have a lovely week!
Martin

Once approved by The staff, will be available a Royal Aircraft Factory Re8 for CFS2.

This model depicts a mid production version, and provides seven liveries:













The models are from Martin Klein, the crew is a mix of Martin Wright's RAF Pilot and Wolfi's Japanese pilot.

The gauge and 2D panel are from Martin Klein.

The Flight Dynamics are from Aer DaddyO and were modified to fit this model by Stephan Scholz, who kindly found answers to my capricious asks, great thanks Stephan.

The sounds were found in an Aerocrate model, and are from LuftwaffeOberst and Gary Aumaugher.

The bomb payloads are, for a part, from John Fortin's Weapon Pack

The rl 100lb and Mk1 incendiary "Carcass" are from Martin Klein

The textures A3474, A3490 and A4397 are from Mike Lang "Ravenna", well done Mike!
The others textures are from Martin Klein

Many thanks to Stephan Scholz, Kevin Driver "KDriver", Michael Lang "Ravenna", "Wolfebee89", John P Fortin (Blood_Hawk23), Gary Aumaugher, LuftwaffeOberst, Martin Wright, Wolfi and all the SOH forum members for their help and support.
Thanks to Paul R. Hare for his "RAF Re8 at War" Windsock datafile.
Great thanks to Sir Peter Jackson, Ronny Bar, the TVAL and Wingnut Wings teams for the plethoric documentation on the Re8 found on their website.
And thanks to you to download this model, hope you'll enjoy it.
