Wow! Amphib too? Any chance of a spot for the GTN 750?

Wow how did I miss this awesome project? Looks fantastic. First thing I thought when I saw that huge nose was "I bet seeing over that thing on landing is a treat"!

Really looks great. Nice to have these variants around. Im intrigued as to what GPS units you appear to be including?

Awesome stuff here for sure.

Me too, I fly IFR (I follow roads) most of the time.

I do too, but I like having the gadgets available for when the weather turns. Flying a lot in the PNW, if you use real weather, you can get some bad weather very quickly.
 
This is just a bump to see how/if this project is coming along. It looks like a beauty, and I hope the author is okay and all the hard work is still worth it.
 
Thank you for asking, Brian. Work is going on - but very slowly - it is summer time. I hope next week it is possible to work a bit more on this "Beauty". Don´t worry.

And yes, amphib version is set, too. If there is a GTN 750 on board? - Not sure. But it is too early to to make a decision. First I have to finish modelling/gauges stuff, creating new texture set with bump and specs.
 
Good news - I have found solutions for current airfile issues. Now I have a great basis to continue work on RR/Allison 250-C20S Turboshaft engine gauges.

Excellent! Looking forward to what you come up with.
 
Next big step is done. I got airfiles and turbine displays nearly airworthy. Fine is also payload effects. Screen is showing 1 Pilot and 5 Skydivers with equipment inside. Very poor sight forwards to the runway like real. Many thanks to Bill Leaming and Bjoern, who helped me out via fsdeveloper.com with turbine display configurations.
