The yokes in that aircraft can be hidden/unhidden by using the slash key.

and you only tell me that now.. after all these years.. Ok maybe I should have read the manual along the line
 
Well after a long hard alaska winter I somehow had the money to make a few upgrades to old trusty

The yoke just needed replacement, I almost had a crash the other day due to the old yoke that got stuck momentarily, and decided it will be cheaper to upgrade the GPS instead of broken gauges. Who need gauges anyway. GPS can be a life saver.

and the front windscreens were leaking water so the window support had to be replaced.

As you see I am actually busy creating a set of "redux" textures for the VC's and some of those that has been changed has also been made larger. Some 2x larger and some 4x larger. (yes some are actually 2048x2048). The wood panel version has already a huge number of corrections like brand new mats and seats and curtains etc etc..!
Still a very long way to go but when I am finished the VC will look a lot more crisper..!
 
Some WIP

Some WIP screens. Yes some will not agree to colour scheme, but this is what I like.

The commander 500 wood.. Amazing taking into consideration these models are about 8-10 years old. Still good enough to thoroughly enjoy..!

Mr Shupe, if you please, is there any way to get the the clean VC and passenger interior for the 500 model

love the wood panel but the old original was a favorite

just a request :salute:

Thanks DC.

Do you mean this one? Came with both a gray and tan panel for the 3 paint schemes.
 
I just uploaded the standard AC500 with the panels shown above.

This aircraft has two panels (tan and blue/gray), a mid-50's interior and three paint schemes.

Thanks for requesting this one. I had forgotten it.

The file name is ac500vc1x.zip and should be available soon.

Thanks Milton!!! Busy with a bunch of new payware birds, but had to stop and grab this as well as all the other masterpieces from your awesome mind.

I did notice that something is missing from the interior however. I have the panel and interior seating bits but no general interior walls. I look down in th VC and irs open to the outside. I'm guessing it is something to do with the way the model.cfg os handling stuff.

The outside is fine so it's very flyable -- just don't look down.:icon_lol:

Edit: This issue is on the N22WR and NASA liveries. The N500MS is complete.

OMG! LOL

Seems that FSX does not like 32-bit with no alpha ... that was the issue for two paint schemes. The other was 8-bit and it worked fine.

You have two choices to correct the issue:

1) Change the "doorpanelgray.bmp" textures to 8-bit or convert the 32-bit to have a white alpha channel; or
2) Download the replacement texture for the 2 paint schemes, attached.

My apologies. I guess I tested the model on the only 1 of 3 that did not have the issue.
 
the latest version - Clean AC500

A few quick changes to be a bit more individualistic. Time to go fly..!

Update Wooden panel AC500 version

Well I found an old texture hidden away so I used that one and decided I also do a "GREY" colours cheme. Grey seats and grey carpets and grey roof with a new light etc..

View of panel and controls now more "grey-ish"

Much appreciated!


Just like to add a note of appreciation to Milton.
i've been using the Shrike Commander for a while in Air Hauler, as it was the only 'Commander' with sufficient cockpit clickability for my liking. Now these ones have been updated, I will have the full series to try out. Yee-haa!
Thank you, Sir. :salute:
 
Thank you Portia911. It is always a pleasure to give to those who appreciate the effort and use the products for so many years.

I hope that these work as well for you.
