I'm not the best screen shot shooter, so take these with a few grains of salt. Also, there are many known faults with the model, so if you see something amiss, it's probably already on the laundry list. By all means (with the exception of hand grenades), you're free to speak up about it, though.

Good looking screenshots. I only have one question: "Are you using a Spectrum DX7 or 8 transmitter to fly the airplane?"

Bone, looks to me like a few of us could take lessons from you as to how to take screen shots. Superb and thanks for the preview. Looking forward to this great looking production.
 
Looks like it could jump off the screen and be found in a National Air and Space Museum!!!! Such awesome artwork!

My uncle, Leo "Pard" Wells, flew them in Korea. Wish I had some pics to show it.

Looks great! I'll be waiting for this one....
I might add that the gauges could have brighter lettering and markings. At least, if the shot below is any indication of reality...Don

Dangit, I goofed. The shots are dark because I didn't have the plane positioned right...the sun was forward of the plane position. I replaced them with some better ones.
 
...I see that they have put some updated textures on the tan armrest pads that some wanted, now could they put a little wear & tear on that seat where my big ol' arse is gonna be sitting !

I'm no expert on the outside stuff but that VC sure is getting pretty. :applause: We all remember when we first saw that Aerosoft Hughes H1 racers' VC for the first time!

Is this going to be the version with the leading edge slats ?

...well, back to reading up on my mobo user guide for my new build, gonna take my old arse awhile....
 
May have backed off a bit much on the exterior textures but the cockpit is a work of art. The gauges don't have to look that tired - some of those look like they've been underwater. A little more contrast?

No. It's the 86 with the larger 6-3 wing, which means better performance but you have to be really careful when flying on the edge of the envelope. Even during the flare she can still bite....
 
my ONLY feedback would be...can you make the canopy material more like the material used on lets say the WBS Mustangs? More reflective and solid looking. Right now Its almost like the material used on the Vertigo RV where in some angles its not very visible.
 
The canopy will be taken care of. That material was just a filler for now.

Everyone, please keep in mind this is the first Alpha. We won't be posting anymore shots until we're in beta.

Many thanks, Diego
 
Diego, thanks for letting us know this beauty is out there. I hope I have some finger nails left by the time she arrives. The quick look is very much appreciated.

You should be thanking Bone; he started this thread.

Glad you enjoyed it. I had nothing to do with the work, but I'll pass the message to the team.

Regards, Diego
