Reshaped the fuselage a bit, redid the nose and belly scoops completely, put the opening canopy on her, gave her the correct "square" prop tips, stuck a couple of exhaust stacks where they belong, and put a functional joystick in the cockpit Messed up the fuselage texture map a little when I stretched it, but that's a pretty quick fix...

Let me know if you want the model to use the parts or whatever...

Great stuff Jedi. Its about time for this stuff on the stang

Love the intakes too. Now that this and the P47, Corsair are using them we need to update some of the other models like this.

I hadn't even noticed the pilot armor--I can fix that later today. I'll probably also give the tailplane 3 dimensions instead of the 2 it has now and reshape the fin.

Who was it that was going to take on the Stang for the next planepack? Zoy, wasn't it? Anyway, the plane is here if you want it. I don't think I should release it or anything, since that would just cause problems. But I know DanW was wanting a new Mustang model to do some artwork with.

Exhaust pipes
Intakes
Prop
Spinner
Width to the tail
Canopy

Would you mind sending me a copy. I will send it to Zoy and Pang. We have a couple of other little goodies we hope to add. Can we add you to the project?

This would be a great community effort. Razer, Pang, Jedi, Zoycite and me.

Zoy can probably fix the texture problem, but would that mean that the old textures would no longer work?

Count me in! Let me just finish the 3D work on the tail and fix the pilot armor thing, and I'll send it to ya. I'll probably give the same treatment to the "B-model" as well, and then the A-36. Lots more canopy work on those to do tho. As for the textures, if you use an old texture and just remap the new fuselage, they should work fine. I can give the remap a shot before I send it back, and then the only thing necessary would be good check of the normals on the new parts I built in.

I guess for other guys that want it, I'd hafta say wait a few weeks for the "real thing," but if you're just dying for it (has the same flight model as the "stock" 5.3 plane) email me privately and we'll see what we can work out. Don't want to be responsible for a wave of online mismatches but if you just want it for offline use, it's OK by me.

And don't put anything cute like "I love you" in the subject of your email. I'm being very picky these days on what emails I open, and which ones I zap into cyberoblivion.

Jag, the checks in the post

I would like to continue doing FM mod's to the P51d if no one has any objections. She's kinda been my "baby" from the first planepak. I'm playing around with a better landing gear, and I found some abnormal stuff that came in since at the time most of the changes were made we were just using text editors. hehe.

(Dang me, there I go posting without reading, again.)

Wait a second. When did I ever say anything about the tempest besides I liked the plane can couldn't wait for it to be in SDOE?
