Again, more great news. Anything you make with a hook (as well as without) always great stuff.

Indeed the avionics are classified - the flight manuals, however, do report the general layout of the station (in order to depict where the radio controls are) and there are pics here and there.
None is clear enough to read the labels on the switches, however.
Anyway, I think we could live with some guessing and a little bit of fiction... in any case the radar system would need to be adjusted to FSX/P3D.
Also, I have placed a poll on my facebook page to collect potential users' preference on going for a single package (E-2 and C-2 models in one product, shared cockpits with some inaccuracies) or two separate packages (C-2 and E-2 sold separately but with more accurate cockpits - and possibly the radar station for the E-2).
Should I decide to go for separate products, the E-2 may slip after Christmas.
Aside, the price of each package will be the same of my previous offerings (25€ plus taxes) - just because it makes accounting much easier...

just don't call 'Zulu' (Her Tail Coding) that 'GiNA' name in front of the techs/mechs or old crew of her... I got my ear chewed about it when I slipped up saying it
looking forwards to the pack Dino, whichever way you do it; whether solo packages or bundled!

Personally I prefer second option. Voted.
Btw. what about TacPack?
Do You have to add it here Dino? I havent idea about options but maybe NVG, Tacan Carrier (VOR), so no weapon fonctions.
Id like to see also rain effect on windshields for P3Dv4 users, like default Maule
.Thx for any reply!

Unarmed planes are intrinsically "valid" for Tacpack... However it would be cool to use the Tacpack radar functions for a better radar emulation on the E-2, but currently Tacpack is hard-coded for forward looking radar only.
Rain effect is unlikely to happen, at least initially, since using it disrupts the compatibility with FSX.

I don't use Facebook so I cannot vote, but I would go for the second option as well.
I just saw the current poll results and I like the results so far
The screenshots you posted earlier are simply awesome. Photorealistic textures everywhere... unbelievable
Can't wait to see the final versions.

Yep, the result (till now) is good for second option
. I can wait more for second plane.

I think realistically splitting them isn't going to have a great ROI.
Unless you're planning to use this to train for a deployment in a real E-2, a few switches and dials being moved a bit her and there aren't going to affect your actual enjoyment.
And honestly, I'd think the market for a $30 C-2 is pretty small compared to the market for a $30 C-2/E-2 package. I'd love the experience of flying one of these, but realistically I'm going to buy one or the other, not both. But getting both versions for one price would be awesome.

I would vote for 2 installers.....have no interest at this time in E-2 but really want a C-2.

I'd like to see an option with the E-2C package to have the current 8-bladed props.
That opens up more modern uses since they've been standard for well over a decade now.
I believe he said each variant (Both the C-2 and E-2) will have the four blade prop model and the eight blade prop model.

it would be nice if rxp gns530 can be placed in the vc like the modern e2c with efis: https://youtu.be/q3PjFhMklkU
as for wx radar gauge, the freeware by Roland Ifor works great in the vc: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/459050-another-radar-gauge-for-vc-window-usage/

@Sundog
fsafranek is correct - both aircraft already have both kind of props (although as visual variation only - flight model is tuned for the 8-blades version).
@kdfw
at the moment I have the old style GPS in the cockpits - all the main functions are there, I am not sure if it makes sense to change it.
as for the weather gauge, I'm trying to steer away from third party C++ gauges for a number of reasons...
@All
Preliminary results from the poll seem clear in favor of separate but more accurate cockpits... we'll see if it makes sense, as the variants would be a total of four (C-2 analog with 4 blades, C-2 digital with 8-blades, E-2 analog with 4 blades, E-2 digital with 8 blades). Going down that path means that, most likely, the E-2 will not be ready by the end of the year.
