You might ask what I changed. The landing gear is finished, although I may go back and add the door above the rear landing gear. There is also a new vertical stabilizer that I made by modifying the one from the Piper Archer. I also blended the body and wings together and rounded off the nose. It still needs a better horizontal stabilizer. I think I'm going to try to modify the stock C-130 engines for use in this, and then I'll come up with some better props. I also need to make some wingtip tanks.

Re: Current Projects
Here's an update of the Peacock: I got the engines fabricated from scratch. They aren't great, but they are better than the stock engines. I also made a four-blade propeller based on the pictures I've seen. Most of the lights are there. Still ahead are a new horizontal stabilizer, restoring the stock landing lights to the body of the plane, possibly (but not likely) the covers for the rear landing gear, windows, and possibly work on the cockpit.

I decided to ignore that list of things to do and instead I cut out and animated the flaps (a vital part of flying this particular aircraft), rudder, and elevator.

Re: Current Projects
I'm pretty sure I parented them to the empty at the origin, and when I try to rotate them on the empty's y axis it rotates alright. It's not until I set the two keyframes and go over the animation does it do that weird twisting

(This is just 40 percent of it)
---EDIT 11:45 AM 8/7/2014---
Just finished off all the roads and some rivers. Now for the rest of the water to finish up then I move onto groups of trees and other color thingies.

Re: Current Projects
Here's my progress on the stock T400. New wings with working ailerons and flaps, a new vertical stabilizer with rudder, and new engines. Still to do are the horizontal stabilizer, body, and landing gear.

That's looking really nice.Dtpilot247 wrote:New A-10C Instrument Panel Progress

I made a list of cockpit functions that can be mapped to CLAs if the cockpit is merged with the aircraft .dnm:
Nosewheel steering - 1 (VGW)
Gear lever - 0, 14 (for extension and retraction)
Gear lights - 0 (Gear)
Airspeed - 1
Flaps dial and selector switch - 5
Canopy, Canopy Unlocked light - 10 (Thrust vector)
Gun Ready light - 0
Fuel door switch (and nose fuel port door) - 9 (Bomb bay)
AOA dial - 6 Pitch axis (possibly with some airspeed magic)
AOA Indexer - Straight up black magic (Airspeed, gear, witchcraft) [I'll figure this one out]
Stick and rudder - 6, 7, 8
They don't have to happen, but it's a set of possible animations that would look really freaking cool. (I can provide pictures and math if needed.)
I'll also get working on a .dat reboot, and set up an .ist, if you need it, once the srf/dnm is done.

Re: Current Projects
It works, but now the only thing missing is the throttle and stick. Let's see how that goes =)
---EDIT 12:45 PM 8/8/2014---
The final version of the front panel is done, now I get the sides done =D So far I have 3 demensional buttons and switches that weren't in the previous one

Dision, I don't know what you are making, but they look interesting. Do those things fly?
