Here are a few pics from gmax. First is the exterior, then gun blisters, and finally the pit.
 
i guess a catalina !! oh wrong thread. lol thanks for the shots ted.looks exellent,you've even got the interior of the blisters done. :ernae:
 
Ooohhhh! Details, details! And odd though this may seem, it's pictures like this that tell the aspiring modeller so much - walls of text do tend to bore after a while. Thanks Ted, both for the pics and what they tell. :applause::applause::applause:

Could I ask what the node out front is for? Looks like a model to keep, btw.
 
Remember

The blisters and interior are the work of sdsbolt. I just have the pleasure of making it all work. The node out front is an emitter that is playing catch me if you can, seriously I merged some emitters and just have not placed them yet.

Can anyone tell me what is different about the gauges in this plane and the stock microsoft ones? I'll be hurt if no one can tell the difference:icon_lol:.

They are 3d as opposed to the flat quads the stock gauges are!

That's what I mean by details. We read of these things from time to time, but to see a gmax pic of them is a big help.
I did know sdsbolt was working with you on this, his VC development pic was posted a while back. Perhaps Bravo/4 will be skinning this - teamwork at its best!

Hey Ted forgive my ignorance but what are those little 3D boxes throughout the aircraft?

Hi Lewis,
I'm sure others will explain in more detail but basically the little boxes are used to tell the game where to attach pylons (hard points) to the plane or where to initiate effects (emitters) from such as exhuast start up effects etc. some of the larger boxes are part of the parent structure, such as nose, engines etc et c

Ted & sdsbolt,

Awsome job Guys, a very much needed model for cfs3.

regards Rob.
 
Incredible! What a very nice surprise for a dark Monday morning. Stephan and Ted you boys rock!
:applause::applause::applause:

This sim just keeps getting better and better.
 
As Mr Churchill said

For Ted, John, Stephan and all the others like them I could only repeat the words that England's Prime Minister had for RAF Pilots after BoB ....... I am sure You all know what I mean!

Cheers :ernae: and have always good flying
Cristiano
 
oh man john bravo, your going to get really piled on.we need at least 6 standalones to cover the 3 theaters.usn and raf.:icon_lol: your wife is going to hate us,lol
 
No problem doing the main model skins,once the template is done, it's the pits that take most of the time, especially on the bigger multi stationed aircraft!:mixedsmi: Looking forward to doing this one though!

I'll do my usual balacing tricks, and keep my wife happy, well sort of happy!:icon_lol:
 
What can I say but 'droooooool'... :medals::medals:

I like that one a lot!! Are we gonna get a SAR skin too, John? The 5th ERS flew OA-I0A Catalina flying boats from Halesworth in the last months of the war. That airfield is on the ACC list, so it would be nice to have a Cat sitting on the tarmac.
