FSX Native Lockheed Lodestar Series

Hi Team Lodestar,
This is great news!
Milton's dedication to the Lodestar and all the great painters working on this project sure keep me interested

Carry on, and let the fast twins fly :applause:
 
Thanks for the comments.

We finished up the spec changes so now just going over things before packaging this for release.

Maybe today ....
 
it's raining airplanes!!

Thank you Milton and crew! I've been watching out for this release for a long time and here it is - BEAUTY!

Two brief flights and so far no issues whatsoever to remark on. Outstanding to cruise along listening to those big radials purr while ATC chatters away in the background..
 
Thanks Milton & Company..

One thing I noted, if you select your aircraft by "publisher" you will not get all the textures.

I edited my aircraft.cfg and inserted the line "ui_createdby="Milton Shupe & Co"" where missing in the appropriate [fltsim.xx].

Thanks Milton, I gave her a test flight and it fly's great. There are only two minor things I would comment on. First when I was shutting down I tried to turn the mixture off using the mouse, the arms seam to move the opposite way from the way the mouse moves. The other is the titles, this is more of a P3D issue since the titles are visible in the aircraft select I get very particular about having them human readable and consistent, I changed them all in my install to read as follows:

Code: 
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar South African Airways ZS-ASN
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar Commercial Air Services ZS-DHL 1956-1961
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar Commercial Air Services ZS-ATL 1967
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar Deta CR-ACT
title = Lockheed L-18-56 Lodestar EAA VP KFE
title = Lockheed L-18-07 Lodestar Sabena OO-CAI
title = Lockheed L-18-07 Lodestar Sabena OO-CAJ
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar Sabena OO-CAR
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar KLM PJ-AKA
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar Base Metal
title = Lockheed C-57 Lodestar Base Metal
title = Lockheed C-57 Lodestar Plain White
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar Plain White
title = Lockheed C-57 Lodestar RAF Middle East
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar Goodtime Gal Rachael
title = Lockheed C-57 Lodestar RAF Transport
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar Trans Australia Airlines
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar Santa Fe Skyways
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar Western Air Lines
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar TWA NC33604
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar Pacific Alaska Airways
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar Pan American Airways System
title = Lockheed L-18-08 Lodestar Executive N555H
title = Lockheed L-18-07 Lodestar Armée de l'air F-ARTF
title = Lockheed C-60A Lodestar National Airways Corporation ZK-ANB

I also updated all my ui_type values to be more consistent but I don't think I need to post that. Again these are minor issues and I am pretty happy to have the Lodestar back in the hanger.
 
Thank you Milton and Team! Awesome work. Many, many more years of flying enjoyment left in her.
Indeed a very fine and beautiful beast. :applause:

:jump: Many thanks and kudos to the MS Team! Not only does the Lodestar look fantastic, but flies great as well. Thank you for the period panel and environment and again, your sound choices are spot on.. This is an obvious labor of love and many congrats to all who participated in this release. Superb job...
