Brilliant work on the VC Wellis Absolutely gorgeous.

I will check whether I can can dig up something in my files, which answers the question about the text on the yoke.

Cheers,
Huub

Thank you Huub,

It seems to start with, "This aircraft is equipped with .... "

P70s texture "BBarea.bmp" not the same as A20s.

P70s texture "BBarea.bmp" not the same as A20s.

I don't know what you are looking at Sir, maybe an old painter's release?, but I assure you they are same here.

These interior textures just got completed this past week.

P-70 a1

Trying nose art on P-70 and I have two texture mappings riding on top...?
Windows..?

This paint, attached, is Dusty done with the solid nose P70A2 paint kit for the release of the models. The problem you depict was not encountered in the livery I have done and it is likely that you are trying to use the P70A1, which has the painted over nose, which will give the result you have shown. The research materials I have indicate that Dusty was a P70A2 solid nose. (there were a couple of others that I believe had that nose art besides Dusty)

What's the date on your model file?

EDIT: Just to ensure you have the latest model folders, attached.

Not sure which template is causing the problem. This paint, attached, is Dusty done with the solid nose P70A2 paint kit for the release of the models.

Well no worries, your Dusty is a beautiful piece of work.!
And good to know about the nose differences, thanks.

The A1 is developed from the "C" nose section; the A2 is developed from the "G" nose.

Thank you sir...the more the merrier I always say.

Getting closer?? I cannot wait for this one!

 

[Milton Shupe]

Getting closer?? I cannot wait for this one!

Texture wise, Wellis is very close to wrapping this one, and I will then have to synch the VC's with the G and P-70's.

Then, the only things left are some custom xml features that were planned. Not sure if they will get done or not.

Regardless, when the rest is ready, we will get out a beta release and let you guys check it out.

While that's happening, I will continue work on the FSX native side.

Thanks for the update Milton.
I am currently finalising the last couple of bits on this one today, then back too red and yellow bits on the Vichy scheme.

Great stuff escaping your paint shop Sir

Need some help on the Yoke Stem Text ... anybody have a readable reference.

Scratch this request; no longer needed. Thanks

Do you have the text or did you skip the label? Funny enough most pictures I found of this yoke stem didn't have the label. In the squadron/signal publications you can find 4 clear pictures from different cockpits but none of them has the label on the stem. The A-20G from the National Museum of the USAF has the label on the stem and although there are some high resolution pictures available, on not one of these pictures I was able to read the text.

Now I was digging through the manuals, but although there was a part covering the H-type dinghy, it didn't reveal what the label said, nor was there a hint to what else it said on the label......

Cheers,
Huub

We used a copy of the unreadable labels to use on the stem. Just like the RW pics. LOL

The black placard on the yoke column/stem reads:

THIS AIRPLANE IS EQUIPPED
WITH LOW IMPEDANCE RADIO
SETS & INTERPHONE
SYSTEM WHICH REQUIRES
THE USE OF HEADSETS
HS-33 OR HS-38

(Fantastic work on the VC texturing, Wellis!)
