Hey Richard, considering that it is winter at the moment I’m thinking that the weather here is a little cooler than what you’ve been experiencing, I think we had -6°C here in Canberra the other night.
Regarding the VR project, I went away for a few weeks and came back home with a horrible chest cold so progress on the VR project has been very slow. To that point though, before I went away I did process a whole bunch of screenshots of the cockpit side wall computers and generated 138 images that show each panel zoomed in and perspective corrected. I’m surprised at the almost complete coverage that I’ve managed to get and I’m now in the process of drawing 2D elevations which I will use to generate the 3D geometry.
Thanks for the gentle prodding and be assured that the project is always on my mind. I don’t think I’ll do any more work on the Jupiter 2 until I finish this challenging cockpit but that is definitely the next thing I want to tackle. Have I shared this forum post by a guy called Avian, his work on the Jupiter 2 is simply amazing…
