Well, you can thank Tankerguy72 for the photoreal textures, bump maps, and revised VC modeling, along with modeling updates to gear, and add-ons to the exterior. He has put a lot of time in this to model the real world example.

My work was in finalizing the FSX native conversion, adding switch activated doors and retardant effects, custom xml functions, getting all the VC stuff animated, tagged and working, getting gauges installed, upgrading the panel.cfg and getting the flight model settled down, i.e. more flyable.

Some work yet to be done in optimizing textures sizes and finalizing bump and spec maps. I really like the bump map work inside and outside although some work remains. TG's textures give you a real feeling about this model.
 
Good evening Milton,

-Superb, really, especially the cockpit, beautiful and very realistic!:applause:
Finally! radios that change the eternal modern Bendix king that I can not stand to see anymore!
I am waiting for this new jewel with impatience!
Thanks to the team!

Wow Milton, outstanding work indeed! Though probably not my cup of tea, the attention to detail is enough to grab my attention sir. Really love the weathered metal inside the cockpit area.
 
Thank you

Thank you Milton for taking over this really super aircraft. Looking forward to adding it to the hanger as soon as its completed. Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you Sir, but, I am not taking this over, just lending a helping hand. TG is very much involved but has been super busy this past year until recently. Now that he is wrapping up work on the C-119, he is becoming available to wrap up this project. Just talked with him and he is sending over some updates to textures while I apply some chrome to the yoke shafts. :) I am trying to wrap things on my end as he gets his end setup to take it over.
 
I had forgotten about this thread... I am very pleased with what I can read and see! The shots are gorgeous!
I hope this beauty will fly on its own in 2018!
Tracker go go go! Best wishes to the team
 
I completed my contributions to Tankerguy's project and sent everything back to him several weeks ago. I suspect once he complete's his C-119 work, he will continue with this project.
 
WOW Great News

That is great news. We are all waiting for this to be completed to fly. If you don't have the program yet, check out his Firefighter it is fantastic and will be super to fly this S2A on. I got it last year and he is a really great guy to talk with.

Thanks for the update, Milton. will TG put it up here when it;'s read or is there another thread I need to follow?

Thank sir:redfire:
 
Tankerguy72 still had quite a bit of work yet to do when I sent it back to him in December.

Hopefully he can get through the list and get this one wrapped up.
It looks awesome inside and outside thanks to his attention to realism and photo-real textures in key areas.
