This FlightGear model of the Grumman G-21 Goose was developed by Gary Neely.

The RCMP acquired a Goose from the RCAF in 1946, which they operated out of the harbor in Prince Rupert. BC. My grandfather was an officer with the RCMP and flew in it on the BC Coast during the 1950s. This aircraft was still in active service with the RCMP until the early 1990s when it was retired to the Canadian Air and Space Museum in Ottawa. It served the Canadian public longer than any other aircraft, including military.

I developed the RCMP livery for Gary's model, as seen in the screenshots below. I still have plans to further enhance this aircraft:

Livery:

• Add an ambient occlusion layer to the livery to make it look more realistic. This layer is usually included by the model developer by Gary hasn't developed one for this aircraft.


• Increase the resolution of the texture to allow a more detailed RCMP logo

Model:

• Modify the model to be Canadian specific. Canadian aircraft were modified with retractable wing tip floats.


• Add the various antennae and other mods incorporated by the RCMP


• General increase of interior details


• Implement wake and spray effects for water operations
