Slender Tender & Tall

[dave.q2]

Here's my take on Tom Blair's 'Slender, Tender & Tall'. I'll post as soon as I can but my daughter and family are down this weekend so it may be a day or so. I'll also post the original version, flown by Lt. Col. Bill Halton from Bodney from April-November 1945 at the same time as well as this very primitive 'modern' panel with GPS and autopilot.






Let me know what you think guys.

Dave,

Very interesting panel. I'll be looking for it.

That's a great panel. IHave you found any way of getting rid of the gunsight?

Excellant repaint as well as Cockpit mods!!! Im curious, did you use FS Panel Studio to mod the cockpit? I have FSPS and want to add a GPS and Radio stack to "modernize" it. Were you able to mod the VC? or is that a pic of the 2D cockpit panel?

No I haven't. That's why I say it's fairly primitive.

It was done by playing with the vector numbers in the vc panel. And yes it is the vc, not the 2D panel. Hopefully it will be available tomorrow.

Ahhh...I see. I have messed around with the vector numbers in the past and it can be a time consuming process. Very well done and I cant wait to steal it from ya! Just kidden...or not! haha.

very nice indeed!

Dave,

Found it at SOH last night. The "new" one is probably the best looking Mustang paint I've seen yet - and that says something given the quality we've seen for this pony. I do like the new panel. I do have a suggestion. There needs to be a transponder. That probably means dropping the autopilot. I have some add on stuff I'm going to play with for myself. You have given me a great starting point.

Many thanks,

Glenn

Dave,
Wanted to share this with you if you haven't already watched it. Check out the video I made inside the cockpit of the P-51D Miss America. Should give you some ideas on a totally modernized cockpit. Be sure to go down till you see the "video box". The first post I made has links to my youtube vids, but those are not what Im referring too. Although its nice coverage too.

Many thanks for this Matt. I've watched this and the problem is that the gunsight and the compass setting knob are both in the model and can't be removed. I could probably make the cockpit aluminium, as per the video (and my own photos) and possibly add the nav/transponder panel from the Acceleration Mustang (plus other bits from there). I may have some time next week for a play.

I'm working on this lo-viz fictional repaint with the 'new' panel. Totally bananas but what the hell!

Perhaps A2A could edit out the gunsight for us????

I once tried editing the Model.cfg file to achieve this, but with rather disasterous results...

Thanks for the tip! I was wondering how to do that.
