• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Tweaking an old Favorite

As a way of keeping myself busy, I've been tweaking/upgrading some distant favorites of mine. Currently the Yak-23 is being reworked. Always liked this jet.

A shine would look great on this one but as with any of Ito Sans aircraft, an alpha simply makes the aircraft transparent.

The VC is coming along, still a fair amount of work before it's completed.
 
Very nice! The Yak has always looked to me like some engineers simply stuck wings and stabilizers directly onto a hobby model rocket engine (zoom! :adoration:) What kind of reworks are you contemplating?

Just what I'm showing in the screenshots. . .new panel lines and rivets on the exterior and populating the VC with avionics (art) that gives the "appearance" of a functioning cockpit. If I had the expertise I would convert it to Native FSX but that is beyond the small amount of usable gray matter I still posses.
