Stagger

Well now since I'm finished with the Monster Stick EP and Rage I guess Stagger is on the block next. I took a quick look at it last night and it's ready to start the final 1x1 mapping. Oh goodie, my favorite part.

I've been busy working on the house but I've also put some time in on Rage and Stagger so here's a picture of a new color scheme I made for Stagger Sport Gas. I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet but here it is. An Old School Sig Four Star inspired color scheme.

Great color scheme Tech.!

Got a question. I went back and made the Stars on the new CS a bit fuller so which do you like better, the first one or the new one with the fuller Stars?

The stars on the fuselage, hstab and vstab are all fuller but the wing shows it more.

1st Picture is the original CS.
2nd Picture is with the new fuller Stars.

I did a bit of tweaking to the EP version this morning making the transparency of the rib cages match how I have it set on the 4-Stroke version. I also had to adjust the rib cages to remove some minor flashing that happens when the plane is quite a ways from you and you're flying knife edge so you can see the top or bottom of the wing really well. What happens is if the rib cage, which is a separate part from the wing, isn't recessed far enough down from the surface of the wing these little flashes happen. I had to fix that on another plane I did with rib cages too. I need to do that same adjustment on the 4-Stroke version too since they are separate files now. But that's an easy fix and I'll do that later today.

THEN.. I'll fly the planes this week, the Stagger Sport, Stagger Sport EP, and Rage and if I don't find anymore problems I'll release all three this coming weekend. It'll be nice to get these two planes out of the way so I can work on something else. I have two projects I want to do but I'm not sure yet which one I'll do next. One is another design of my own, a Junker I call it and the other is the Super Chipmunk. So we'll see what I end up doing.

Well I wasn't going to release Stagger Sport Gas but I went ahead and got it ready tonight so I have all three versions of Stagger to release, 4-Stroke, EP, and Gas. What should I do release all of them at once or one a week for 3 weeks? I guess with Rage I really could release one plane a week for four weeks. So how do you think I should do it, all at once or one a week for four weeks?
