Lockheed Jetstar Project for FSX, P3D and P3D 64-bit

Time for a small update.

I'm working on the VC and instruments at the moment, but real world house/carpentry takes priority over developing for the duration of the summer.
That said, I've been refining the exterior including PBR skins. Don't worry FSX fans, the model will translate nicely to earlier P3D and FSX. It's amazing to me that a model designed so many years ago has translated so seamlessly into our current generation simulators.

Out-bloomin'-standing. Been looking forward to this since the FS9 days.

Did the teddy bear survive? My 9 year old wants to know ... she hasn't forgotten .... :biggrin-new:

2019 is shaping up awesomely ....

Really looking forward to the Jetstar! Something in my head just gravitates toward the engine layout. Other favs include the Il-62M and the VC10. Also, if I may ask an off topic question. Is the Buffalo dead or just on the very back burner?

The Buffalo was lost when Microsoft wiped out my work archives. I do have the published beta model, but the entire model will need to be re-built inside and out along with my other WIP aircraft. That's a ton of work and will take a while. So far I have restored two of my aircraft since the data loss. The Jetstar was undertaken basically from scratch, and is at the top of the priority pile. Everyone should thank Jim Goldman for jumping right in and re-sending me the mesh and data I needed to re-build this project. :encouragement::encouragement:

Well, now nearly all of the household is invested in it's progress.... :wiggle:

Yes, trivialities aside, a huge thanks to you, Jim, and whomever has been helping for their efforts. Every freeware project is a labour of love to be appreciated, and my particular affinity for this model aside, the efforts that go into them really need to be recognized and appreciated publicly. That it's a personal favourite is just an extra treat.

I think it's also worth mentioning, alluding to an issue that came up in another thread regarding supported sim platforms, it's cool that you're committing to developing versions for both FSX and P3D sims. Through all my FSX years, I appreciated the almost exclusive FS9-oriented Calclassic offerings, and adapted them as best as I could, since there was a dearth of native FSX aircraft and scenery of that particular period. Similarly, even though I've moved on to P3D, I still appreciate what FSX nuggets can be found that can be made to in P3D. The point being for us later adopters, it's appreciated that you've taken a combined/gradual development stream.

Clearly it'd be easier to focus on one or the other, but you're going to please a lot of folks this way. It's a different calculus for a payware product, obviously, but in this case, an additional reason for all of us who use the various named sims to be extra grateful to be able to enjoy it being optimized accordingly.

Thanks again!!

I know it will be a while

Many projects here have taken a lot of time but have every one been well worth the wait as this will be I am sure. Looking forward to it in the future unless I have my own wings in the hereafter then I will smile on down on all of you still simming.:engel016:

Gordon, did the Abrams P-1 survive the data loss?

Hate to ask...
