    Ryan NYP (Spirit of St Louis)

    I thought I'd start a new thread to be easier to find, here are some in game shots of the Spirit ! still WIP and lots to do but (I think) she's looking nice already.

    That's looking so good already - going to be very interesting to fly! Last one I tried was the old default one from FS9(?)

    Same here, it was a good model for the time, trying to fly level is so difficult as I haven't animated the pitch and bank indicators at the moment, its very easy to get disorientated with the side windows...

    It is really coming along great, Craig!

    I was wondering if you might know about this little peculiar detail in the cockpit, as seen on John Norman's incredible recreation. If you look really close in the image linked to below, you can see that there is no bolt going through the clamp to hold the fuel drain funnel in place. This isn't a mistake, and is exactly the way the original Spirit of St. Louis has the funnel secured as well. According to John Norman, it has been speculated that perhaps that was in order to allow Charles Lindbergh an opportunity to pull the funnel forward in order to 'relieve himself' during the 33.5 hour flight from New York to Paris in May 1927.

    In addition to the Lukenheimer Fuel manifold, this photo also shows the magneto booster that is mounted down low, directly in front of the control stick. Also note all of the "rash" on the various parts, which John Norman did on purpose to match the same wear & tear as seen on the original.

    Haha, yes I read about the "funnel" and its possible use.... might make that a feature !?!

    Regarding the magneto booster does anyone have any other images other than the ones on the Smithsonian website? or know the type number?

    Thanks

    Craig, unfortunately I don't know the model type/number or manufacturer for the magneto booster/booster magneto, but here is a closer image (it doesn't look too dissimilar from the hand crank telephone magnetos of the era):

    With MS/ASOBO's announcement today my version of the Ryan NYP is officially shelfed sad times, I've spent hundreds of hours working on this and I told them about it back in February, it would have been nice to know and not wasted my time.

    I'm a sole developer with a normal day job so this really is a kick in the teeth.

    Oh well on to the next project....

    Sad to hear/read. I'm pretty sure your creation would have blown theirs away. Judging by the screens you posted so far.

    Cheers,

    Thanks, but you can't compete when they are in with the museum and probably 3d scanned it.

    First thing I thought of when I saw the trailer. I was hoping it was yours.
    In any case, focus on the next project I suppose.

    It must be incredibly disappointing to have invested so much time and effort in the project, only for this to happen. I hope you can take something forward, even if it's just improved skills for something new. A rotten way to have gained experience, though - you have our sympathies.

    What a gut punch. I was hoping it was yours as well when I saw the announcement. Sorry to hear this, and good luck on your next project!

    I was thinking the same … hmm, they have a little strange policy about it (no info before). With Porter was the same, one team was working about payware version, next it was Miliviz (fortunately they did it before this free, a little different version was out). Craig, when I watched video I was thinking its your model …

    Ow, that just sucks!

    But good luck with your next project!
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
