"For more than a month, I have been working with Torsten Dryer to model
these three autopilots that are very common in aircraft manufactured in
the 1960s through the late 1980s. The Altimatic IIIc in the SenecaII is
a variation on the Century III and uses the same nasal model."
I missed a few things in the last patch.
1. prop size did not match prop disc size.
2. rescaled yoke to match measured yoke.
3. messed up hot spots for heading indicator knobs when I tweaked the
panel last patch.
The fix that could not wait was #3, so I also re-textured the pilot head
with outdoor face photos. Yep, that's my face. The hair is now
textured also which looks better close up.
1. Added a pilot.
2. Cleaned up the panel, added a working park brake lever, added the
remaining placards, added "materials lighting for the remaining
switches and knobs tied to the nave light switch.
3. Doubled the resolution of the transparent rgb, added propdisc spin,
and realigned all in the ac file so the spin was concentric.
I have modeled N7764P, the comanche 250 I co-own with 2 other Seagate engineers.
In the process of doing this model, I have also improved, worked on, or added
instruments, etc. to Instruments-3d.
* I fixed the adf so the azimuth card is tied to the correct property
* Added TO, From, and out-of range indicators to the 3d vor.
* Also added a manifold pressure gage and a pa24-250 asi (using digital photos
of the actual asi as the starting textures.
Affects on other AC. As far as I know, this will add to-from to the vor and
correct the adf behavior for pa28-161. It would be a trivial edit to the
pa28-161.xml to give the same vor performance to that AC.
Now both VORs act as one.
