FSX Native S2A-CDF Tracker

As a "filler of time" project, I have started the FSX native conversion of this model. Just completed all the exterior work and now heading inside to the VC. Should have it out for beta by the weekend.

I was hoping to get one of these fire fighters out earlier in the Summer but the other projects kept me too busy.

JC, do not get too excited. This is just one of the 12 released Trackers with 16 different models.

This variant is the S2A CDF fire tanker only. Only 11 more conversions to go after this one, at least 1-2 weeks each, as I get time. :)

Maybe sometime next year.
 
Meanwhile, I got the VC animations and tags converted today.

That pesky xml is driving me bonkers on the effects (wasted 6 hours trying to get them to work) so no retardant drop effects yet.
 
Definitely one of my favorites as this beauty flew out of Redding for years with the CDF.

A lot of folks (myself included) use Firefighter X now. So the drop gage and effect may actually not be used by as many this time around.

Just sayin'...

What's the issue?

The switch, the doors, and the events that the effects are attached to. :)

I have to give it another 6 hours to make it a good "college try", then I'll request help.
That's how we learn. LOL

EDIT: Okay, got two out of three working now (switch and doors), just need to get the effects working.

Mjahn showed me my xml error in calling the effects but still no joy so I have yet to sort that out. But, I feel I am close to getting that going.

Meanwhile, Tankerguy's original textures still look good on this old boy and hopefully he can send the texture updates before the weekend, at which time we should have a (pre?)beta available to sort out any remaining issues in FSX/P3D.

EDIT: Okay, got the called effects working. :wiggle:

Was hoping to get this beta out this weekend but was delayed with other project work.

I have 3 more things to complete on this model before packaging up a beta test.

Hopefully will have it out by next weekend.
