Free Flight, Free Speech

This is the official thread for converting the Lockheed L-188 Electra's engines to the Allison T56 501-D13 turboprops from the Pratt and Whitney T2800 Double Wasp piston engines.

SkyBoat (DrDavid) and MV-DP are the lead developers of this project. Contact one of us if you would like to participate.

The Workshop Respository is: https://github.com/DrDavid/Lockheed-L-188.git

The above respository has been forked from the original FGMEMBERS so that files can be built and tested and when ready, then copied to the FGMEMBERS respository that has the working model of the aircraft.

The FGMEMBERS respository with the working model of the aircraft is: https://github.com/FGMEMBERS/Lockheed-L-188.git

Don't get the two respositories confused!

If I'm not busy, come to my workshop on Mumble, maybe I can help?

Why is this still a sticky/announcement?

not an sticky, but an announcement. It was created like such.

Is this project still going on?

I take it no?

I wouldn't be surprised if the project was stopped very long ago. There hasn't been an actual post about the project since your offer to help in mid-2016.

Yes.

Hi guys-- This project isn't dead, but moving very slow. Most of the engine work has been completed, including proper turboprop sounds. The principals are Martien VDP, Swamp and myself. Admittedly, we need to get the plane in its updated form onto FGMEMBERS. Martien has been working on animating the doors and stairs as he has time. We just haven't done much on it this summer. Our bad!

Skyboat

Skyboat has this project moved along any? I posted earlier in the wrong thread. There is also th P-3 Orion based off of the L-188 I would like to see and I would be willing to help in any way I can with it.
