7 pointsArticle From the Guardian Hearing the news of his death this morning was a shock. I mean get that he lived a long life but still it was a shock to see the news. Allow me to share with you a couple of fond memories. Back in '96 I got a chance to fly for the first time with the EAA's Young Eagle program of which hew as an honorary member. That program really fueled my love for aviation. Sadly I never went to college and flew in the air force; however, my love of aviation has never diminished. Even got a chance to interview him; however, I never published his interview here because he didn't time to answer a lot of the questions and most of the questions could be answered by reading his book. But I do remember when his answer to one question though about what he felt when he broke the sound barrier and his reply was "A sense of accomplishment". I have some pics of that certificate I got back in '96. I flew that small plane for all 10 seconds :) went down, went up, turned left, turned right, a total of 10 inches in either direction lol. The pilot said "you sure that's all you wanted to do?" Me: "yup I'm good".

5 pointsThank you gentlemen. The flight characteristics are due entirely to Ojcar's FM. My planes wouldn't be as nice without his help. I have started on an early tail plane version and a two gun version. There is a surprising amount of work involved for such minor changes. I'll have to change all four LODs for each version, then make new skins. For the two gun version, I'll need to make a new cockpit as well. Ojcar will also have to tweak the FMs. I can't predict how long it will take.
-
3 pointsYes. I think it will be possible. Maybe not all features of 'real' display will be present (same as in any other cockpit we can not simulate all gauges/displays etc) Of course, it will need quite a new and different approach. Little challenging, but might be fun making it.
-
3 pointsI never forgat your request, my friend, and I will deliver. it's in the pipeline.
-
3 pointsUse as less decals as possible. (only for numbers) Squadron Markings i prefer to paint on texture instead of using decals..

This is a proposed scheme per this topic: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37634/these-are-the-proposed-paint-schemes-for-the-navys-new-adversary-super-hornets Unfortunately due to the reference images and the 3D model some places aren't exact, but the design is as close as possible to the scheme presented in the topic linked. Drop in your FA-18E_BlkII folder and go fly. It can be found under Cloud Scheme in the dropdown menu -
2 pointsI would love to make my first try at an airplane (drone) the Bayraktar BT2, But before I start would it be possible to make the display information like this. as you all know there isn't any cockpit. if the answer is yes I would like someone to help me with it after I complete the project.
-
2 pointsThat is promising, then I will start to gather all the information I need to add it to my do list. Thank you, gentlemen, for your feedback.

The Sopwith Triplane, also known as the "Tripe" or "Tripehound," was introduced at the end of 1916. By mid 1917, several British and French naval squadrons were equipped with the plane. The narrow chord of the three staggered wings gave the pilot an excellent field of view and gave the plane an exceptional rate of climb as well as outstanding agility. The Triplane was considered an exceptional fighter and stayed in service until replaced by the Sopwith Camel in late 1917. Captured Sopwith Triplanes inspired the development of the more famous Fokker Dr.1. My model of the Sopwith Triplane has the smaller tail assembly introduced early in 1917. Earlier planes had a larger tail plane nearly identical to the tail of the Sopwith Pup. My plane is equipped with a single Vickers machine gun mounted on the fuselage. A small number of Sopwith Triplanes had two guns. My Sopwith Triplane has two skins, one French and one British, with appropriate decals. A fully functional cockpit is included, along with my skinning templates. I have included a sound file for the Clerget 130 hp engine, but you may already have it. Credits Although he's very busy these days, Ojcar found the time to make the FM. My thanks to him. The sound file included with this plane came with Sinbad's series of Sopwith Strutters, so you may already have it. I included it with this download in case you don't. Installation Instructions For FE1 - Unzip the file and move the folder named "SopwithTriplane" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. My Triplane uses the sound file that came with Sinbad's series of Strutters, so you may already have it. If you don't, copy the file named "RotaryEngineClerget130" from my Sounds folder into your FirstEagles/Sounds folder. For FE2 - Unzip the file and move the folder named "SopwithTriplane" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create new folder named "SopwithTriplane". Move the folder named "D" from the Aircraft/SopwithTriplane folder into the Decals/SopwithTriplane folder you just made. My Triplane uses the sound file that came with Sinbad's series of Strutters, so you may already have it. If you don't, copy the file named "RotaryEngineClerget130" from my Sounds folder into your FirstEagles/Sounds folder. -

2 pointsI have uploaded the Sopwith Triplane. Ojcar took the time from his very busy schedule to tweak the FM. I want to thank him for that. The plane has two skins, one for the French and one for the British, with a full set of decals. I spent some time tweaking the cockpit and skins. I also improved the landing gear animations.
-
2 pointsYeah,one reason I never did skins for it...badly mapped...ish...not to disrespect creator...(ive done it too lol) also why I decided to remap the Marcs SU-27 cos of faulty mapping.
-
2 pointsMany thanks !!! Next week I'll have free time in order to play with your beauty... full Triplane ! P.

1 pointI remember the YAP Team has created something like that with its X-47 mod from the "Strait of Hormuz" (WoV) campaign...

1 pointMT-LB was a wide family of armoured vehicles. From artillery recon vehicle, anti-tank-gun pulling device, SAM or ATGM carrier and so on and so on and so on. It was a maid of all work. The diverence between MT-LB and MT-LBu was the number of wheels. MT-LBu had had 7 wheels, MT-LB only 6. Here a link to pictures of some MTLBu versions: http://www.militaertechnik-der-nva.de/Bestimmungsbuch/5gepKetFhrmitTurm/53/MT-LBu/532.html And here MT-LB: http://www.militaertechnik-der-nva.de/Bestimmungsbuch/5gepKetFhrmitTurm/53/53.html

1 pointWhen it come on fidelity, smoothness and precision, no one beat Stephen1918!!!! All of his models are flawless in every small detail and run smoothie. Hats off man!!!!!!
-
1 pointGood job, Stephen1918 - as with all your models it worked well right out of the box! Flying it seems a little tail-heavy, however, so maybe adding some extra weight to the nose (i.e, a second Vickers Mk.2) might help? Only kidding!
