Work in progress: Sikorsky S-38 Explorer's Air Yacht

Here is my newest project. I came across a blender model of my favourite airplane the other day.

So I just have to make it work in Arma.

 

 

The Sikorsky S-38 was an American twin-engined 8-seat amphibious aircraft.

It was sometimes called "The Explorer's Air Yacht" and was Sikorsky's first widely produced amphibious flying boat. (Wikipedia)

Looks nice sabre! Glad to see you're still putting out some new mods.  ;)

[yasotay 197]

A great aircraft that!

Thanks for the feedback. It's a really nice model from Helijah, who made it for FlightGear. I am really happy he allows us to use it.

So far I had to take away the engines as they were too detailed for oxygen to handle. Before I can fit some simpler dummy engines I have to reduce the poly count somehow.

 

Landing and taking off from sea works fine - I am using the adapted float script technology Gnat gave me for my An-2.

 

This will probably take a couple of weeks till i can publish a public alpha version.

Polished the surfaces a bit so they sparkle in the sun.
