For anyone that wants to try starting the AirCrane manually, there is now a step by step tutorial for it. I plan on adding the steps to turn on all the navigation lights as well Although most people should be able to figure that one out on their own..

[wlbragg]

I pushed a startup tutorial bug fix. I left the tutorial in a broken state yesterday. I also added the exterior lighting configuration to the startup tutorial. Also a model animation fix to the n1 lever start button for turbines 1 and 2.

Although I am not very active in the FG forum, since Flightgear published the website I have followed day by day the evolution of the simulator, although I no longer have a computer capable of running the simulator and having image quality. That's why I can't produce the screen splashes I used to do for Helijah. In this case I have taken the photo of w bragg, and I have taken the liberty of reusing it for a new screen splash.

Remembering that first photo taken 13 years ago at KSFO where I appeared in the foreground, and JohanG in the background. To notice that my helicopter was unruly, hence the inclination, although JohanG did not suffer from that problem with his joystick. I state that I am impressed with the work of FG around evolution in compositor. However I always preferred the vivid daylight scene in PLIB FG 1.91b versus ALS and for a long time I was using that version for splashes. But I couldn't resist to make this with compositor.
I hope you like it. Thanks you so much FG'ers

Then we had a cocktail in a yasim glass washed down with Scotch whisky from a certain bucanan cooled with UUIC The best ice in Urbana. Then it was the best time to start talking about JB's brew and Flightgear in general......... like gallinaceos

That's really nice work Michat, I'll definitely add it to the splashes. Thank you!

[Michat]

@Michat

If your still hanging out to read this, I stepped away from the development for a moment and realized I hadn't tried to incorporate your new splash yet.

So after looking a little closer, the splash screen system has changed a bit and I would need a little bit different proportions for that splash screen to make it display correctly. It needs to be 1920x1080 or a fraction thereof. If you could modify the design to fit those dimensions I would be happy to include it.

I just pushed some Ground Services to the AirCrane Git version. It gives you the same Ground Services options as the c182, c172 and Cub/PA-18. That includes adding a working external power source and the logic for starting the PPU with it. A fuel dialog tied to the Ground Services GUI. Engine preheater, etc.

@wlbragg

After several months out of my home I'm back to Madrid.
This is the new splash screen for de Aircrane based on the dimensions you have requested. Also I will maintain de old one because it fits with Helija's web page format.
Thank you for your attention.
Hope you like it.

The HDR-PBR version of the AirCrane is looking better every day. This new rendering pipeline does help to motivate production.
