Classic British Flight Sim

At Avsim
For the flying farmers amongst us - Grumman Agcat with a very realistic spray effect and delivery system


Ive been out all morning spraying the Cane fields on Maui - great fun






Really a nice toy - trying to see if the effects can be fitted to other sprayers



Leif

Not a bad looking effect Leif...I'd like to see what it looks like from ahead and Below the aircraft :think:

Crop spraying Constellation would be fun :think:

Garry

Lobbing it onto the end of Mike Stones Electra in Air Atlantique livery would be interesting

DaveB :tab:

Well Ive figured out how he did it - now I need to find some some with the patience to add a spray bar to
Johns HarvestAir paint for the default DC3 -- - The Australians also used Dc3s for mosquito control
so that would be rather fun as well - Peter - Im just going to fire up the the little bugger again and
take some more screenies - Spraying Cane fields is a hoot actually especially considering the terrain in Maui
you have to contour along the hillside and ALWAYS make your turn to the downhill side

The model is very good - its very sluggish when full - so I found out you fly with 1.4 tank fuel - Looking at how he made the gauge work is rather neat - if you hit "i" with the air driven pump braked nothing happens you have to turn it on - let it
build up to 15 PSI then hit I to make it work - if you leave the "I" function on in a turn it cuts off as the wind driven pump
stalls out in the turn


Leif

DaveB - John- Im working on this to see if I can persuade the powers that be at Flynet to allow crop spraying and (if it works)
Firefighting missions within the framework of the client

Please excuse the bump up - But Peter asked to see some specific angles - and I just got through fitting it out with the T6 Wasp sound set - wonderful addition now if MSFS could figure out how to make the wonderful echoes a Ham standard prop makes as its tips go supersonic

Peter - seems he has gauged the spray almost perfectly - it fits exactly with the spray bar at the atomisers and then slowly flattens and expands as it gets further away from the model










For those who have a good imagination (like mine) - Busy dressing Pecan Tree orchards down around Macon Georgia
on a bright real world Good Friday - Hope the good Southern Baptists will forgive me for not being in Church

That's what they created the late & evening services for.

Great shots Leif.

Thanks for those Leif...Yes, I can see that the effect is very well constructed...Must have been a hell of a lot of work to get that looking right :think:
