I wet my pants!

Sorry, I just work on them in real life, what do I know...
However, as you say, I'm sure the devs simply misaligned the tex's, i.e. they weren't trying for the "tailconecone put on crooked" look.

Then why isn't there a seam there?

Why does no other addon have that then? Where it is off, there is no seam or anything. I don't buy your explanation, sorry. It follows their pattern from the past. Carenado is notorious for misaligned textures. They did not do that on purpose. The Saratoga had misaligned parts in several spots- to the point where any paint with stripes looked stupid.

Sure, this won't stop me from buying the plane. I've been more eager for a FSX Bonanza than just about anyone. (Those who know me can attest to that) I just don't want this to be another usual Carenado plane with all the usual Carenado problems. I want to be able to paint this plane without the stripes being ruined by their mapping!

You havent looked hard at mine.. Blemishes all over the things..

Kiwi,

You are looking at only faults. Doesnt that drive you nuts? If that is all you look for, then you'll never see the cool things some of these planes have. If I wanted, I could find more faults then you as I know where to look, but I am more concerned with the cool things rather then oversights and mistakes.

Look for the good. It will save your stomach...

Bill, as I said, I am probably more excited for the Bonanza than almost anyone. I am pointing out the flaws so that they will hopefully be fixed before release. It will pain me if this release is sub-par. No one else is likely to make another straight tail Bonanza because there will already be one on the market. So this one has to be good!

Constant praise doesn't improve anything. Pointing out what can/should be improved is the way developers get better. That's sort of the reason for beta testing... at least in my mind.

I will be giving my praise after it is released.

My stomach is perfectly fine! :salute:
