Scorch00 Airtanker Conversion Projects

I can confirm now that I've had some time to look at my release models and got a confirmation too from someone else that the animations are indeed not correct on the -5A models and a -6A model. So I will be issuing a fix for those models once I can correct it, as well as an aircraft.cfg edit fix for the -6A Super Cat. But in terms of the VC not working/clicking, that doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone else at the current time.


I've had the glass issue as well on other FS2004 conversions and a lot of times I actually have had to edit the alpha channel repeatedly for the windows to get them reappear or change the glass color even to add a slight bit of 'tint.' And apparently, there is variability in people's graphics drivers that make it so it's not a one solution fits all sort of situation.

The fix cured the ailerons for me but not the switches. Is this row in the middle between pilot and 1st officer clickable? If i look at it in MCX, it only move forward backwards with the flight steering but the switches are not animated.

At first I was trying to figure out what you were talking about, but the ones on the control yoke in the center between both the pilot and copilot are no-op switches. They aren't functional in the model.

The PBY fix is available here though for anyone who hasn't seen it yet and wants the fix,

P3DV4+ PBY Catalina Firebomber Pack Fix

This fix addresses reported issues about incorrect animations on several model's ailerons and a sound issue in the aircraft.cfg file on another aircraft. This fixes those issues. Original download is required, these are just the model and updated...

I was able to get in contact with Cera Sim several weeks back and have already begun work on modifications for the Bell 212 and Bell 412s. Some will notice a lot of US operators initially. But do have plans to do several other operators in other countries like Australia, Canada, and several others for the packs. But the main importance being that the additional models will be able to be painted with any of the stock Cera Sim paintkits that come with the 212/412 or any liveries you currently have, will also work on the expanded models. The only bits that would need to be painted to match user's existing liveries would be the new equipment textures that will come with the expansion model packs. Still not a final tally on how many expansion models I will do or if there will be overlap, etc for models and paints. Since these are widely used and highly varied versions, I just can't simply do all of them. So most will represent the more popular/requested models. I've also teamed up with a community member who has done a number of the liveries previewed here as well. He has provided me several paints that he's completed that will also help keep down the amount of time for the project hopefully. Below you can see some of the changes and equipment packages that are being worked on.
