Starboard engines inboard air-duct

Post by hodge001 » Thu Jan 16, 2020 9:56 pm

Hi

While I was tinkering with the paintkit I came across what may be an error with the starboard engines inboard air duct being missing from the model but not the texture sheet, this only shows clearly when the scheme does not have the anti-glare panels present so I thought I would ask if the air duct is supposed to be present or is the texture sheet incorrect in showing it, a small issue but once you have seen it you cant help but notice it.

Thanks for yet another great aircraft add-on.

The NACA duct should only be on the right side of both engines when looking at the engines from the cockpit (tail of the airplane forward.)

Hi

My apologies for the delay in replying but my health has not been at its best for a few days, as for the models NACA ducts the starboard engine has none on either side which is why I noticed it, but as I say it’s a small issue anyway so thanks for letting the team know.

The NACA duct is present on the inboard side of the right engine's nacelle as can be see in this image taken from the modeling program:

Hi

As you say the right engine nacelle is fine it is the left nacelle that has the texture sheet and or model issue, but it is just a minor thing but I thought I would mention it.

Hate to say it and it's just a small error.

On right engine the airduct is on wrong side.

Hi Ryan

Thank you for the generous comments, not sure if they are deserved but they are appreciated, I do actually follow your contribution’s on the AVSIM forum where you have given some sound advice that helped me a lot, as for the F1 KA I am actually toying with transferring some her schemes to this great rendition of the KA.
