While I don't finish the Yak-15 here's some eyecandy:
You probably remember the FSX Electrosphere pack I released in 2008 (or not).
Even so here's the video:

Anyways, those models were a bit, well, let's say basic...
So I decided to remake the three R-100 aircraft.
The R-101 has it's exterior almost complete:

And the R-103 which isn't even started:

Thanks for looking...

Wow expand Shocked. That's great Cool. I assume you will make one of those great weird vc's Wink
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Almost finished with the landing gear... up next: external view cockpit.

To-do:
VC: all details+all gauges+buttons/switches+animations+xml coding
Exterior: Texture cockpit and pilot. Add details to the cockpit and some parts of the plane.

Ok, moved a bit forward on this in the last week:
http://threedmaniak.deviantart.com/#/d4yhqyy
http://threedmaniak.deviantart.com/#/d4yhr29
http://threedmaniak.deviantart.com/#/d4yhr0t

That cockpit picture is a bit outdated, though...

I also took it for a few rides in FSX to test the bump mapping and specular mapping. I'll upload pictures of it later this sunday...

Wow Xpand, looks great! Also, heres a tip: for the landing gear, I think some shiny chrome should be added to add a touch of realism since the white textures don't quite look realistic.

Thanks!
Yeah, I still haven't adjusted the alpha channel for reflections, I'm only using it for a small transparent part in the cockpit. But I'll complete it.

Thanks! Well, the exterior is pretty much done for now. It only lacks the shifting VC (See my SX-1A for enlightment) and the custom made gauges and animation codes... I say it will be done around August, maybe...

When I have nothing else to do... I want to wrap up this and the VPAV-1A before that plane. And I'm also working on some side projects for a game in development... So, yeah, it's probably gonna take some time...  Cool

And added an airbrake because the original plane didn't have any:

Thanks! Cheesy I can't wait to get started on the gauge coding! I learned some math tricks for programming this year in university. Can't wait to apply them.

Any word yet on a release? Can't wait to try this thing.

You have earned a permanent place in my aircraft collection for any of your future creations. You are awesome!
