While I don't finish the Yak-15 here's some eyecandy:
You probably remember the FSX Electrosphere pack I released in 2008 (or not).
Even so here's the video:

Anyways, those models were a bit, well, let's say basic...
So I decided to remake the three R-100 aircraft.
The R-101 has it's exterior almost complete:

The R-102 has only the basic model with texture made:

And the R-103 which isn't even started:



Thanks for looking...

Wow expand . That's great 8-). I assume you will make one of those great weird vc's

Thanks! You bet I am! Just wait and see!

Almost finished with the landing gear... up next: external view cockpit.

To-do:
VC: all details+all gauges+buttons/switches+animations+xml coding
Exterior: Texture cockpit and pilot. Add details to the cockpit and some parts of the plane.

Ok, moved a bit forward on this in the last week:

That cockpit picture is a bit outdated, though...

I also took it for a few rides in FSX to test the bump mapping and specular mapping. I'll upload pictures of it later this sunday...

Sorry for the imageshack links, but I don't have time to resize every single picture to obey the forum's exceedingly strict uploader. Sorry. 

Wow Xpand, looks great! Also, heres a tip: for the landing gear, I think some shiny chrome should be added to add a touch of realism since the white textures don't quite look realistic.

Thanks!
Yeah, I still haven't adjusted the alpha channel for reflections, I'm only using it for a small transparent part in the cockpit. But I'll complete it.

Xpand, your stuff is amazing, can't wait for this one to come out.

Thanks! Well, the exterior is pretty much done for now. It only lacks the shifting VC (See my SX-1A for enlightment) and the custom made gauges and animation codes... I say it will be done around August, maybe...

looking great. 8-)
Oh and BTW,when are you starting your s-15 again?

When I have nothing else to do... I want to wrap up this and the VPAV-1A before that plane. And I'm also working on some side projects for a game in development... So, yeah, it's probably gonna take some time...  8-)

Working on the original AC3 HUD:

And added an airbrake because the original plane didn't have any:

Looking good!
