Truly.
I concur. Whats worse though is that even if you could remove the 3D knobs, theres far more going on than just them.
I attempted to upgrade the avionics to the G-1000m and got quite an education. The default gauges in the VC are mapped opposite to their placement in the texture files. By this i mean that instruments on the left of the panel are on the right in the texture files, and instruments on the right of the panel are on the left of texture files. I use FSPanel studio so this is the best i can describe it. I'm sorry. Also, the main panel texture overlays the instrument layer which means the instruments are actually behind the panel facing, peeking through little holes.. This means that if you attempt to add anything like the g-1000 or the wx500, it not only is going to get chipped up into a scheziphrenic nightmare, its mostly going to be hidden behind the panel facing..
Very annoying.. MS really didnt want anyone messing around with this plane at all on any graphical level.

I'm curious if the team releasing the HD Goose would consider releasing a HD paintkit as well?
I understand the amount of time and personal investment that goes into a project like this, so it is of course understandable if you did not release one. Also, I imagine the file would be pretty large.
I am just thinking that there are a wealth of paints that could go on this beautiful bird and not a lot of time in the day, so opening up the doors via a paintkit would be a boon to the community!

Hi Guys,
I'll be honest, I am not sure which way to go with this request. Steve, Pam and myself started this project in January and its now nearly mid-May and we are still at it. I've put the question to Steve (Gizmo), once I have his thoughts on a paintkit we'll come back to you. Ok?
I am a bit of a hermit and if your interested in following up on the progress of the Ozx HD Goose I'd like to invite all of you to the official update thread over at www.aussiex.org
Look for the Paint and Airplane Alley... in there you'll find a thread on the called 'Centre for Excellence'.
Heck... here it is hehehe http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=2621
In the meantime I'll leave you guys with a early detail shot of the exhaust.
Cheers
Butch

Wow! Incredible work! I am a huge fan of the Goose. It's all I fly in FSX.I've done a paint at 2048, I'm shocked to hear you're going twice that in resolution. I've tested all the little quirks endlessly and come up with some strange results. The Goose is by no means a bug free aircraft.
One issue I had for so long was that there was no wake behing the Goose. So after testing contact points in endless combinations I came to the conclusion that all class 4 contact points must be touching water at the same time for the wake effect to display. I can't find any way around having the floats extend/retract and having a wake when the craft only sits on one wing float at a time on water. So I gave up. Do you guys know anything else about this?
Does your flight model guy know of a way to reverse the position of the tail gear lock lever in the VC? I was just going to label the lever opposite to fix it.
I won't get into the lights issue.
Always a work in progress but here's my Goose. However these jpeg's just don't show her true charm. I'll post an interior pic tomorrow. BTW your guys' night cockpit textures look incredible. I wish I could match that quality, just unbelievably realistic and well lit!!!!!

Hi Guys,
I was just planning to post a WIP shot and... very nice paint mate, I like the weathering and the overall scheme.
The cockpit shots are from Steve (Gizmo) one of the most talented painters I have had the pleasure of working with and as you can see its top shelf stuff. The bump mapping is in itself a work of art and its the incredible work of Gizmo.
The FM is being completely reworked from the ground up. So not only the flying part has been updated the ground and water handling has been fully reworked as well. I've just been testing the RC1 of the FM which Pam sent me today and let me tell you, its night and day compared to the original. Pam has done a 'masterful' job, completely surpassing what I thought was possible with the Goose.
In addition to that there will be a 'special performance' version too using an uprated version of the R985... that's all I am saying for now.
Here's a screenie of one of the schemes that will be included, just to wet your appetites.
Cheers

Magnificent 
! Can't wait, the Goose was (and remains) one of my favorite default aircraft.
Do you plan on reworking the Caravan too ? Too bad there isn't an amphibious Caravan model anymore in FSX, would have loved it. It would have made for some interesting missions, too.
Good job, all. This is the best news regarding FSX I have heard for a while.

As a form of flattery I had to copy your curtain idea, I hope that's okay. The texture of the curtain material doesn't show well at this low res. So I guess the high res will pay off. You guys are doing a great job!
This texure is at default resolutions.

Pam, Steve, Jay ( I hope I have the names correct),
Your work and dedication is producing jaw-dropping results. This is the kind of project that makes the sim really fun and rewarding. My hat is off to you all, and thank you for the excitement. :ernae:

Slightly Used... only on Sundays.
Hello, my name is 'Butch' and I am one of the Ozx painters working on the Goose. The people working on this project are: Steve (Gizmo) 'painter', Pam Brooker 'FM' and myself 'painter'. Jay is our boss, he's Aussiex's 'super multifunction' Admin and he normally works us pretty hard but fair I must add.
Like millions of others, I am a big fan of your own 'legendary' work and I am delighted to be able to toss my own contribution into the hat.
Thank you all for your kind comments, we are all pretty excited with your reception.
I've been in a posting mood and I thought I'd toss another one up for you. This time its a 'slightly used' version of the Goose I am working on.
Enjoy.
