As Mission-bug is working his magic on the Do24, I was putzing around and came up with this.

Then, I took a cruise over Pearl.

Oh!  I LOVE the staggerwing!  I've even seen some fitted with floats!

Post by: Zflyer48 on November 28, 2016, 10:09:57 PM

Later on, floats will be added for those that want to fly around Alaska and Canada looking
for that great fishing trip.
Also, just for SAS~Poltava, bomb racks for SCW. :)

I am amazed!

I was reading about this aircraft ONLY this week! Found a few for sale around, and was thinking how beautiful it is, and how nice it would be in our game!

Then i log in and here it is! How very cool!

I look forward to this aircraft! Best of luck!

Beautifully done Mike, my kind of aircraft definately.  8)

I am too old to mix it with the fighters these days, flying the top brass around in this would be just the thing.  ;)


Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

As things are calm on the Do 24 front, I am back at work on my other projects.
Hooks, Shadows and Collision. Maybe a few mesh tweaks. All that stuff to work out.

 I agree with Max this is a classic design and it looks like it's coming together nicely for you Zflyer48.

Another one of your aircraft I'll be looking forward to flying.  ;D

Hi Zflyer48, Both versions look very nice 8), are there any news?

Post by: Zflyer48 on January 30, 2018, 10:39:13 AM

Currently, it is on the shelf. I periodically work on the cockpit, get frustrated, and shelf it again.
Slow progress, I know. But, that's the news.

Very well done. Especially the floats option.    I like floatplanes, and flying boats of all types.

You know if I had known about this earlier, FlightGear's Helijah's Hangar already has a Beechcraft model 17 3D file with an amenable EULA that could have been ported, and saved you some time.

Post by: Gaston on March 15, 2018, 03:25:07 PM

I have seen something strange in the FM files.

-in UC-43, they are both named the same : CAC_Wirraway_FM,
-but in SD-17, they have different names : 4.09 and 4.10 are named CAC_Wirraway_FM, like for UC-43, but there is one named Yokosuka_FM too.

Anything wrong ? the Yokosuka has to be eliminated (I plan to install the 2 planes in BAT) ? and I suppose in BAT, I have to use the 4.09 FM, am I right ?

Title: Re: Beechcraft Model 17 (Beech UC-43)
Post by: Zflyer48 on March 15, 2018, 04:31:47 PM

The SD 17 uses the Yoko FM to make it able to take-off and land on water. If there is a conflict let me know.
I am quite useless when it comes to FMs. So, I use what is the closest to the plane I mod.
