Beaver Mods

[JRoc]

Hey look, he's back from the dead.

Just a few shots of some modifications I've done to the Aerosoft Beaver.  Some repaints, and a shot of the panel that's going through continuous modifications.

Hmm... That Beaver looks familiar....


Ahh yes, it's Harrison Ford's Beaver, c/n 855.


Lady Luck before she caught fire and was rebuilt, was a workhorse for La Ronge Aviation (now Transwest). c/n 120.


Lady Luck as she is now, flying for Deef, a (fictional) flying service based in Lucky Lake, SK. Rush fans may notice the 'Luck' typeface is the one from 'Roll The Bones'.


Off to work.




The aforementioned panel with Engine popup.  I had to re-make the fuel gauge in XML so I could make it lighted. Also re-did the Carb Air gauge.  After doing so, I'm not sure the original worked the greatest.  Also made the Turn Coodinator and the Vertical Speed gauge. I think I might redo the whole panel bitmap before I make some more gauges, to make it just the pilot's side and the centre engine gauges, and have a separate pop-up panel for the other side with the radios, electrics and backup gauges.

GO RUSH

Thanks man.  Been working hard on a new panel, modified the bitmaps and recreated some gauges with some sweet switchable night (post) lighting effects.  Spent the afternoon doing graphics on a Garmin Vor/Loc unit, and got 'er working nice and good. Think I'm going to work on the switches next.

And yeah... hopefully Rush stops here when they start their tour... Regina proved to everybody that they can throw a big show when they had the Stones back in October.
