Hi Sean,

attached shows latest work on the Tigercat cockpit. Stick and pedals now done. I'll attempt to use mesh animation for the flexible parts like the stick gaiter and pedal hoses, not sure yet how this is done in XP though. Next up will be the lower instrument panels, left, center and right.

Regards,

Phil

Will it be Xp12-ready Sean ?

[Sean McLeod 59]

@jcomm I would expect so. Work has been done on the Stirling and Hampden with XP12 already so it's reasonable to assume that experience will make its way into the Tigercat as well.

Exciting times ahead! :)

Hi Sean,

the main panel is complete, missing gauge is authentic, the radar altimeter was only fitted to night fighters. Gunsight is next, then the glazing (mapped for XP12 rain/ice fx of course), then it's all ready for animating.

Regards,

Phil

It's coming along...

Hi Sean,

Here's some WIP pics of the VC in XP. Mostly done, just need to animate the gauge needles and a few little things. There is no gunsight glass, the reticle was projected right onto the windshield. The 'missing' gauge is authentic as this is a day fighter, radalt was not fitted. The glazing is all set up for XP12 rain fx, so I'll send some shots of that feature soon.

Regards,

Phil
