Since the Goose is delivered to OZx (and waiting for approval), I thought it was time for a yellow peril.
Warwick Carter's outstanding freeware T-6 was one of the first addons I've added to my pristine FSX install. I particulary love the startup sequence with its manual wobble pump and the amazing sound when the mighty P&W Wasp comes alive.
Some great reference pics of NZ1078 can be found here:

And here's the work in progress:
Starting at Ardmore (ORBX enhanced). Note the roundel's egg-shape: Textures get a little distorted - easy to fix that!
Haven't found the civil registration (ZK-ENG) on the reference pics. Shouldn't it be applied to the tailplane?
Climbing out at Ardmore, heading east.
Still needs some more gloss.
Above Firth of Thames. Weather is getting worse, time to close the canopy! Roundel is "round" right now - no more egg!
Thames Aerodrome (NZTH) comes in sight.
On final with some gusty crosswinds. Nice conditions for a taildragger...
The landing and taxying at Thames was awesome, thanks to A2A's Accu-Feel. Bumpy rides on soft surfaces are much more fun with it!
The stopover at Thames was used for adjusting the specular maps. This is a well-kept warbird!
What do you think? Did I add too much gloss?
Back in Ardmore.
What a nice flight!
I hope you can live with the inaccuracy of the wrong model (T-6G instead of the Harvard Mk. III). But compared to the amount of sheer fun this rendition provides, I don't care too much for the spinner and the canopy braces...
Some minor glitches still to be ironed out, any comments welcome!
Cheers,
Markus.
, I should actually ask Warwick very nicely and see if he could remove the spinner and put in the extra cockpit frames, she then would be a real NZ Harvard
