Finally, I just wished to show how the cockpit looks under different light conditions:
Thanks very much for taking the trouble, Dimus. Certainly appreciated !

That makes quite some difference indeed ! But it shouldn't be the weather that hides that awful rusty steel color, should it....
No matter if the cockpit looked black and blue or bright purple i'm buying this Sabre because if flies so nice and the external model looks great too (as does the VC minus the textures ;-) Who knows, i might be inspired enough to see about those VC textures myself. You don't happen to know why Shrike thought it necessary to change the VC textures compared to the original FSX Milviz Sabre, do you ?....Or, i don't know, is it maybe simply caused by adapting the textures for MSFS use ?..
Thanks again, Dimus !
