Hey Chris, a float-equipped option would be nice...one could re-trace Charles and Ann Lindbergh's flights...:ernae:

I'm in for one...

Hey Pointy

The float Sirius is going to be part of the package. I have never included two models in a package so I have to research how it's done but it will be done:running::jump:.

That sounds great. You are guaranteed one sale for sure...:applause:
 
Different models are easy...you will end up with "wheel.mdl" and "float.mdl", and you determine which model is used via the aircraft.cfg file :d
 
You wouldn't be able to combine them in the same base folder, since things such as contact points and empty weights can only be done for one style. If you make installers, just compile both into the same exe. You can save disk space by only doing the panel and sounds once and aliasing the other.
 
I've been interested in the Lockheed Sirius ever since I read the book "North To The Orient" which described the Lindberghs' Great Circle flight from New York to China via Canada and Alaska. That would make for a great flight sim trip.
 
Are you 'Sirius'???
All and any variations of these aircraft are long time favourites.
Perfect for GW31.
:applause:
 
looking forward to the sirius

... your Air Express is excellent. I've been hoping for a Sirius ever since Golden Wings came out for fs9.
 
One of my favourite classics Chris. LAGO did one a few years back. Looking forward to your project. Mike :applause:
 
The Sirius is seriously a serious aircraft:costumes:. Sorry, I just had to do that. She's coming along nicely.
 
Are you serious???... Seriously, and I am serious when I say this, that's looking good.... Serious :ernae:
 
Oh good, you are doing the wheeled version with open cockpits. It wasn't until later that the cockpits were enclosed at the suggestion of Anne Lindbergh. The sliding canopies would be correct for the float version of NR211, though I don't have details on the timing of when the floats were attached and when the cockpits were enclosed.

Looking forward to the finished product!
 
Rob, sorry to say but you found what I already had:costumes:. They are hard to find.
It will all come together in the end:jump:
