Nardi Riviera VC

I don't know if anyone still flies this little jewel, but I did for a long time in FS9 and then FSX. Always wanted to redo the VC panel as it was very poor quality and with boredom creeping in I decided to take a look at it and keep my interest for a while longer. I only fly P3D now but these changes should work for FSX and maybe even FS9. I still have a few things to work on before I have everything done (namely the 2D panel and a couple of popups). I corrected the skewed gauges that were warped to fit the old background bitmap, redrew the avionics in the center and the throttle quadrant and a few other knobs and levers. When I'm done I'll post a download link if anyone is interested.
 
Great work there, may I join the line for the download?
The Nardi is very similar to the SeaBee as well.
 
Here is a download link for the changes I've made. Be sure to read the readme file. Something I failed to put in the readme. . .these textures are saved as 32bit. As mentioned above, I believe the textures should work for FSX and P3D. . .I don't know if there were differences between the VC in the FS9 version and the FSX release so I would tentatively say they should work, but with reservation, lol. Anyway, if you have questions (after reading the readme), leave me a PM or use my e-mail in the readme.

Hiroshi Igami made a FSX native version of the SeaBee, exterior only (I fly it with the default Maule VC, not realistic at all of course, any other option out there?):

There is a Nardi Riviera FS9 ported over to FSX at Avsim (mn_fn333_fsx.zip), maybe that's the one Ed is using... Thanks for the new cockpit textures.
