What a fortuity. A long time I have not visited this forum and now one day before I come back somebody brought up this old topic. First I must say that I lost the SU-25 due to a headcrash and I had absolutly no motivation to rebuild the whole model. I hope it is ok. Maybe I make a rebuild later.
The Runabout I kept save. But I still must finish the gauges. I also startet a B-17G in three currently flying liveries. Because the lack of reference pictures for the cockpit I paused this model too. But I have started another project. And this becomes definatly final. I live in Hannover, Germany and I just found out that Hannover has an own
aviation museum. So I can get the best reference photos you can find. You can find there a FW190, a flying JU-52, a Spitfire, Me109 G-2 and many other stuff, of course. Now you can guess which of the above-named aircrafts I build. I build one of these aircrafts, because I got to know an A340 Pilot who knows a person who flies 2 of these special machines. That means that we get a fully working cockpit, original sound records and a pliot who can test our flightmodel. The problem with the gauges is also repaired. We have manuals, checklists and documents with diagrams of all rivets, screws and cables for example.
I just got the permission from the aviation museum to take photos from inside the cockpit. This is really an exception because normally you can only take photos from distance.
I can say it becomes definatly a rare aircraft for the Flight Simulator. I only found one machine. And that was for FS2002. We do our best to create this aircraft as real as possible.
I think we will complete the Runabout after finishing the above-named project.
Where no one has gone before.
. The eyacht and the nx prototype could become problematic because there aren't any pics of the interior and I don't want to create my own one.
