File Description:
Grumman HU-16 Albatross 2.1 Greg Pepper, Michael Verlin May 18, 2012 I am privileged to be honored with the custodianship of this model. Greg Pepper is no longer with us. I wish to honor his memory and I've made a few modifcations to enhance this aircraft. WHAT'S NEW FOR 2.1 The flight model is the most significant change. The flight model has been enhanced by the use of Jerry Beckwith's AirWrench. The performance of the Albatross is now much closer to the parameters published for it. I've also adjusted the contact points for the hull. Please make sure you adjust the fuel and payload before flying. This is a very heavy aircraft, and will be very sluggish if you attempt flight with full tanks and a full payload. I've also added a few liveries, and modified several others. The colors and lettering of the U.S. Navy versions have been revised. The font the Navy uses is USN Long Beach. The paint colors are accurate now as well. You will also find new spin prop textures. I've also slightly revised the original U.S. Air Force HU-16B and two of the U.S. Coast Guard liveries. New for this release: U.S. Navy VXE6 UF-1L triphibian that served in the Antarctic, Chalk's G-111 and two new private liveries. Michael Verlin May 18, 2012 mverlin@verizon.net
