In the drink...

Yep, he's in the drink, but his wingman is sending help. 

The new US pilot in his rubber dinghy is coming soon.

Back in the dark ages, when FSDS was in version 1.0 (verses the current 3.5), Collin Glendinning (Master Shipwright) started a liferaft project, then shelved it.

[Tango_Romeo]

Oh, heck!  We'll just have to have versions with and without dye stains in the water (smoke doesn't work well with these for a number of reasons).   Single and Crew versions of the raft.  8-)

Why can't things be simple! 

[Tango_Romeo]

Oh, yea!   I'm getting carried away again.

Somebody stop me!  

[Tango_Romeo]

I posted the package of four life rafts this evening:

- US_Raft_Pilot...Pilot in raft, no dye stain
- US_Raft_Pilot_Dye...Pilot in raft with dye stain
- US_Raft_Crew...four Air Crew in raft, no dye stain
- US_Raft_Crew_Dye...four Air Crew in raft with dye stain

They are ships and can be used as such, but work best as infrastructure objects.

They should be available by morning.

Go, Tango, Go!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

You must be chuggin' 5-Hour Energy! 

Good looking stuff!

TR, didn't we use it in a rescue mission in one of the campaigns?

I'm toying with the idea of doing a detailed texture for the 'old yellow stain'.   Perhaps it would look less like a broken egg or an area where the crew relieved themselves. 

Not sure if it's worth the effort...particularly since I am 'paintshop challenged'....or (to be brutally frank) can't paint worth a damn.

Why does the airman look like a cross between Neil Morrisey and Hannibal the Cannibal?

I thought no one would notice.

[Tango_Romeo]

Tested some varigated textures on the dye patches without enough improvement to warrant the trouble, so I'll leave well enough alone. 

[Ravenna]

What brilliant work. Many thanks TR!

Collin, remember this mission from Ocean Fury?
