MilViz Cessna 310R on final approach!

Yes, This one will definitely be in my hanger! :applause: The second of my two absolute favorite GA twins.
 
Having evaluated the Beta, I will second Bernt's opinion of the engine out dynamics, very quintissential light twin handling, requiring good technique and not forgiving of bad technique and poor planning.

Cheers: T
 
I have seen this model first hand personally and its quality 'before' it made it to FSX was like that of a mix between Carenado and SibWings who are known for their extreme graphics and detail. An amazing amount of high detailed work and graphics.

I hope it does very well.



Bill

Thanks! Im looking forward too seeing it in FSX myself. Seems like everyone but me is playing with it. Thats just NOT right Colin... ;)
 
More screenshots of the MilViz 310R, which is coming along nicely in beta testing.

Radio_Stack.jpg


These screenshots are for the free radio panel, which Bill is modeling into two panes in the radio stack where individual customers may custom tailor the radio stack to add freeware and payware avionics which they have already purchased separately.

In the panel screenshots I have attached, I have added some of the RealityX Garmin avionics which I have previously purchased. I say this carefully because I do not want anyone to get the wrong impression that this MilViz release will include any RealityX avionics. Again, the ones in these shots were my own purchase.

Still, it provides a nice example for what is possible. Additionally, except for the two radio stack areas, the rest of the panel featues Bill's very nice 3D instruments.

Of note is to see the throttle pedestal complete with trim wheels and a very accurate modeling of the real 310R fuel cogs.

It even includes the word-for-word placards for fuel operations and the template on the cogs!

The red livery also has a highly polished surface and you can really be mezmorized watching the ailerons pivot with the autopilot's input. Watching the cloud reflections off them is quite satisfying!

Plus the release includes a livery for this 310R, which is near and dear to my heart! LOL!!

Gauges look EXCEPTIONAL! Well done Bill! Do you know, Ken, is there a spot for a GNS430W?

Bill's default 3D panel includes both a GNS 530W (COMM/NAV 1) and a GNS 430W (COMM/NAV 2).

Plus, with the free radio stack panel, you can add in any avionic type you own.

Cheers,

It looks incredible - really well modeled and textured. It's been a long time since I got behind the yoke of one of these.

My only mild criticism is that whatever pattern is being overlaid on the instrument panel, carpets, and upholstery to lend them a worn look seems a bit overdone to me - almost as if the entire interior were breaking out in a rash. From what I see of the base textures beneath, it doesn't look as though this wear layer is really needed. Or maybe it just needs to be turned down a bit. In every other respect, it looks like it'll be a winner.

Agree with Bill here. If I got into a plane with seats that dirty first thing I'd do would be to check how hairy the hands of the pilot are, second thing would be to put something over the seats.

Apart from that it's looking really good. I like the free panel idea for the VC avionics.
