Native FSX Grumman Mallard

Originally we had planned for it, but a major rework of the lading gear nescessitated some changes, then more happened... and more and more and more... sadly now there is no compatability. The pieces are the same in some areas.... so it should be possible to transfer layers and reposition, so not a totally different plane, but the textures will not work. Not how we wanted it, but change has made the aircraft better in a lot of ways.
 
Well it's well worth the changes and having a proper native model. Really like the look of that VC - thanks for the great work.

The native version is definitely worth the changes. I assure you that the screen shots do not do it justice. The VC work is awesome :)
 
As we are now posting a few WIP teasers I thought you might like to see some shots of the night lighting in the VC. We are thinking of offering the option of either white or red gauge lighting and I have included shots of both. As there might be a limit to the number of pictures per post I will split them into two separate posts.

Here are the white gauges with just the gauge lighting and with the cockpit flood-light on too:

Red lighting to follow.
 
can't wait!

looking forward to painting this one!
 
The interior looks stunning! If the paint kit is anything like the one for the Lodestar it will be a joy to work with. I only hope you are keeping the interior in the back of your mind as you proceed with this, to have layered psds for it would be great.
