I notice that Eaglesoft didn't model the new G3 features, such as the new wing with increased dihedral, or the new, narrower track, higher landing gear....that's disappointing.
Just flew a G3 today and was all set to buy the model before I saw the screenshots
Please read and understand the following.
Then go back and compare the G2 Wings and Fuselage with the G3 and "Perspective" Wings and Fuselage and you'll notice the differences.
All G2 models are designated GTS or SE while all G3 models are designated GTSX. That's the easy way for me to tell them apart
Note: The wing root on the G2 models has air intake on each side and the Deice Leading Edge does not extend nearer to the Fuse.
Note: the wing root on the G3 model eliminates the air intake on the wing and moves it to right side of Fuselage near the nose and Deice Leading Edge does extend nearer to the Fuselage
Note: Another key is the Deice filler is on the left side of Fusealage on G2 models and on the top of left wing on G3 models.
Note: We could not offer both the G2 and G3 in the same package due to aircraft.cfg limitations and also pricing considerations.
Thus the SR22 G2/G3 Turbo Package does not have the G3 narrower and taller gear.
What has not been done is to narrow and raise the gear height on the "Perspective" Turbo Model. Try to keep in mind that it is a work in progress.:isadizzy:

Same as the 2D. Eaglesoft Version of a very special build of the G1000.
Some may be aware that G1000s are tailor made for each aircraft and the "Perspective" is no exception.
The "Perspective" G1000 contains a lot of Cirrus Design Layout which resembles Cirrus Design Avidyne in appearance and function.

Cool. It's fun when you talk about the wing root fairings etc. I used to build these parts in Grand Forks, ND - I worked the wing line and built many wings/root fairings for the G2 and also some for the G3 once we transitioned to G3 the part schedule. My better half also worked wing line but did the bagging prep prior to the ovens...Too bad Cirrus has cut back A LOT of work in the past year. Many coworkers I met now are out of jobs
Here's one short final for Ry27 in DLH, probably one of their "first flight" models. I took this back in late 2007 though, when Cirrus was booming, we probably had 15 flights/day

How to tell if I have the latest installer?
Here ya go. No this is not an FS9 "portover" and neither are our SR20 or SR22 Turbo.
Eaglesoft has been working for quite a few months to revise our Avidyne Entegra Systems for use in FSX.
In addition, we have managed to rebuild our FSX Cirrus SR22G2 to Full FSX/SP2/DX10 Compliance.
This Upgrade adds Scimitar Prop and 16:9 Ratio Widescreen Panels along with View and VC Window Tint toggle as in our SR22G2/G3 Turbo.
This is a first look at the new low Draw Call, .DDS Textured, DX10, 3D Studio Max model for improved performance in FSX!
Now completed and released this FSX SR22 Upgrade is provided at NO COST to current owners of our original FSX Cirrus SR22!
Current owners should remove their current installation and simply redownload and reinstall using their original Key and Password
Thanks for your patience while we've rebuilt this one from scratch

If in doubt, just redownload from our website and reinstall using your current key and password.
If you own the F1 Avidynes you already know the drill for their custom panel.cfg and that there is a performance hit associated with it.
The F1 Avidynes are a nice piece of work but their panel.cfg leaves parts of ours in place which result in a bit of a hit.

Wombat, just an FYI but... Our Avidynes are currently being used in some real world motion simulators as are our Dual GNS 430s. Hardly as basic as you suggest. :mixedsmi:

I happened to log 15hr in an avidyne avionics SR22, and countless hrs in eaglesoft's SR22,
compare to a real SR22 with avidyne avionics,the eaglesoft's SR22 :
GNS430 lack of many function.
MFD lack of many function, as well as MAP item, data block item.
engine CHT too easy to overheat than the realthing.
fuel flow smaller than the real POH.
lean assist function only have best econ, without best performance.
the 2nd GNS430 is only a picture.
some electronic/power supply logic wrong.
even with these, the eaglesoft's SR22 is still a GREAT tool to help real world pilot in transition training for SR22 .
you can also download a free garmin GNS430 simulator in garmin's web, it's stand alone run,can help to learn more function of the GNS430.
if you like SR22, the eaglesoft's product is must have, absolutely.

Chris, the "FSX Fully Certified" stamp means this is a true FSX/SP2/DX10 Compliant product.
We chose to not have a specular map or a bump map because this aircraft is so smooth.
I'll check to see if the spec map is still supported.:mixedsmi:

Thanks. Actually the Lean Assist does have Best Performance but if you try you must do so in small slow increments as the band is very narrow.
GNS 430 #2 is as fully functional as GNS 430 #1.
The simulator supports one and only one active GNS at a time so no crossfill is possible.
The simulator power system does not support things as the real world.
Example: A six cylinder engine in real world is actually one cylinder in the simulator.

How are the texture sheets? sections all over? Easy to do photoreals?

Bob, the repaint kits are on our Downloads Page. http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/downloads.htm
Suggest you take a look as you and Chris would produce some outstanding work.

OK, thanks Ron! :ernae:

Chris, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
We will need to recompile the models to accept separate spec maps for fuse A and fuse B.
The originals included one general spec map for both sides as this work was done prior to the final FSX SDK.
No time frame but all of this will be done and a Free Upgrade issued at the appropriate time.

As Ron said, at the time we (mostly "I") worked without benefit of the full SDK, so I had to do a lot of by-guess-and-by-gosh to grok it out...
Having checked the FSX Materials this morning at Ron's request, adding the support for per-pixel-specular bitmaps is simple...
...what isn't simple is the time required to recompile all the various models and variations... :ernae:
