Hello, Here's an old-fashioned Lock On action movie from the French community. Not the most original you'll see - l0csta's already invented everything anyway :P -, but efficient scenes and good music make the trick :smilewink: Hope you'll like it :joystick: http://www.3rd-wing.net/espace_pilotes/Major/92nd_Kodiak_Air_Force.wmv (windows media, 9:07 long, 137 mb) S!

Panels Hello all I like to explain how i made the Instrumentpanel in short, After making the drawings, refering to photo's and some nice drawings i got from Andrey chizh (Thanks again) i decided to make the panel in the following way: (At that stage there were no plans of working instruments yet) In the first picture you can see the instrument roundels, they were lasercut out of 3mm black acrylic sheet (some roundels still have the protective foil in place). The second picture shows the instrumentpanel, this is made of 5mm thick clear acrylic sheet, also lasered, (the greenish look is from the protective layer still in place). The dark coloured foil is a paint mask for the instruments, the whole panel then was sprayed in Flanker grey/blue Next you see the painted panel without the mask, so you will have a clear(instrument) glass, still with the green protective sheet at the back. This is the digital print i made (largeformat solvent printer) it is in mirror reflection, the idea is to apply it to the back of the panel so you can see the dials through the masked roundels. This picture shows the whole idea, panel with digitalprint and the acrylic roundels placed. Thank you for watching, in the next post you will see some more details.

I allways wondered where the microsoft logo is situated in these aircrafts. And now we know they forgot the most important buttons, next to the eject....ctrl+alt+delete. Will it be implemented in the newer Raptor F-22.1 version? Sorry... could not help my self ;-)
