:jump: :applause: Yay! Thanks guys, thank you so much! I don't know if I can express as much through words as what I actually feel, that my favorite air tanker may finally have digital wings to fly in flight sim! Woohoo!

Ok Guys.. TS chat and file browser has been set up. I'll PM each of the team with the password tomorrow ( its a might early in the morning and my eyes and brain are at half mast ). i feel we've got a good start to the production line framework, and a good beginning team.. Bill, if you need, I can also work as project coordinator, and keep everything moving at a steady ( though casual ) pace ( provided you folks dont mind telling me to slow down every now and then and to not get so excited ). I admit, i dont have an enourmous resume' as project coordinator, but i'll do my best :).
I try to be on teamspeak every day as the core group for the P-61 meets there as well, and i can bounce back and forth between channels easily..
:) lets go build us an aeroplane :)

PS.. I'll set up the project tracker later on here on SOH. This early in the game though it would just be taking up space. I'd like to recommend waiting till we have a basic model and UV map ( with or without VC ) to set that up as the tracker is mostly set up around bug reporting and problem resolution.. Admittedly though, i still have a bit to learn about using it and it may be capable of much more..
 
Those look great Bill.. If you can compile that model sometime this week and get it to me, i'll get started on the flight model properly. No worries about panels or animations.. i dont need them at this stage.. right now, i'm more concerned with getting it off the ground and staying there without crashing :)..

heh.. you dont get off the hook that easily.. I've got a job for you if you'll take it.. The way i sees it, you watch these guys fly and photograph em all the time.. who better to purposely break my work, and point out the inaccuracies and weak points?? would love to have you testing the FM if your open to it..
 
Tsnkerguy.. i tried to PM you but you have PM's turned off. can you PM me and I'll give you the password to the TS channel and file browser..
 
Ok, obviously i want to keep the energy high and fun here,.. In the light of that, i was just googling to see of anyone had ever used a C-119 in the forestry service. Obviously, i love my fork tailed devils :).. well,, when i saw this http://www.rvcfire.org/opencms/photos/Firefightingaircraft.html I was exstatic.. Now i'm wondering if anyone would do us the honor of developing the Ryan air attack base scenery to use..
Hope you all enjoy the trip through History.. The B-17 really surprised me..
 
Thats my home base right there!!!! Love that place! I would be estatic if anyone decided to do Ryan AAB for FSX:jump::wiggle: and actually i know someone who used to fly the boxcars out of Hemet with the Hemet Valley Flying Service!
 
Since i'm at a bit of a lill in the P-61 development as i somehow got ahead of everyone else, i took some time last night to check out the state of Fire Control in FSX. It's pretty sad.
There are no useable P-2's available. What there is has a growth on its chin and flys terribly.
There's a P-3 made by Alpha. It works, but the panel looks dated and the flight model though ok, is nowhere near my standards..
Theres piglets OV-10's. Sadly they all have rockets attached.
Theres a P-16 for FS9. Its cockpit is part see through, where it shouldnt be, and the gauges are "all" out of date and dont work.
Theres another FS9 S-2 which is the most god awful color of blue i've ever seen.. Havent flown it..
Theres a pretty decent C-119.. Otiginally for FS9 but works fine in fsx.
There,s B-17's and I think theres a B-24, and I know theres a wonderful DC-10 out there from CLS.
There WILL be a P-61B model, and i know they were used too.
There's all kinds of choppers available
i didnt see any DC-4's
Theres the CS C-130 and Hemet is being lengthened to 4000 feet for them ( IRL)

Pretty much the state of AirAttack in FSX Is pretty grim, and it surprises me. There's a perfect opportunity here for a whole genre of playability that bridges the gap between game and simulation, and could be a lot of fun, as well as being very demanding that hasnt been exploited at all.. Just needs someone with a vision and a few organizational skills..
 
I like that :) .. Thanks Tanker.. i somehow "knew" aero unions planes werent puke blue..
Want me to do a repaint on the boxcar???? Anyone interested??
 
Needs a reral artist for that.. the C-119 is fs9 and theres no paintkit.. leaves finger painters like me with little to work with, but i'll do my best :)..
