Hi DreamK, thanks for this very nice suprise, I do not want to be ungrateful, only to report that in this plane, and in the Fokker C-X also, I have quite large holes in the wings.





Would you please be so kind to look into this - after a big well deserved rest of course 

@birdman your propellorfix works great, thanks M8.

It's nothing - I'll just need to pull back just a little the cockpit - as I use to include a "root" mesh in the cockpits' hier him, it's easily done. This is an artefact that appears only under certain angles and is due to the interactions of the "aura" of cockpit meshes with the aura of plane meshes, which ,I begin to suspect, happens because cockpit meshes have their normals flipped by comparaison with plane meshes.

[Birdman]

Biplanes usually have the center section of the upper wing in cockpit meshes also, and nowadays CF section too to fill 6DOF holes. The same external 3D model should work, but the cockpit placement should be exactly correct so that external and internal wings exactly overlap. That is the right way to avoid those wing holes, but moving cockpit back also fixes them although the cockpit position is then incorrect.

Wow guys, don't understand what your're talking about but thanks for looking into it

Great aircraft, thanks for all your work! The only one existing (replica) nowadays is in our local museum in Soesterberg:

Look at this Koolhoven FK49: http://www.oudsoesterberg.nl/joomla/cpg153/displayimage.php?pid=1334&fullsize=1

Hawker Hi! would you have a possibility of getting close-up photos of the instrument panels and cockpits of this plane?

If the Koolhoven is still there, i will surely take some pictures. I emailed the museum already, if the aircraft is still there. They are moving the museum to another location which will be opened somewhere in 2013. Fingers crossed...

I made some more pictures of the Koolhoven a few years ago, which you can see at the end of this post. Too bad i didn't take some better pictures of the cockpit. I do have some pictures taken of the Fokker D-VII and the G1...

Well, this is the only cockpit picture i shot, which i cropped a bit to see some details better.

By the way, on these sites better cockpit details:

How did you like the pics? Still interested in pics of the cockpit? The Koolhoven FK51 replica is still in the museum, but as you can see the cockpit is not finished yet.

Thank you for this great addition to the game! Much appreciated.

[Dreamk]

Great - I you could get close-up pictures of the instrument gauges it would be wonderful
