(icon:his best Alabama accent:icon) Anyone here mention an interest in Garrett TPE331 turbo sounds?



Nahhhh! Thought not!


Guess then I'll have to pass by again in a couple of months....see y'oll!

LOL Well, there are only a few of us who have the S2T variants but if you have them ready for a spin, I think we are ready to check out your mastery of such things. :)
 
Milton, will shoot you the latest turbine versions today, finally got them to have decent deck landings in fsx Accel.T
 
Managed to get a few shots of these two Stoofs (S-two-F's) on Sunday, no front close ups or cockpit views unfortunately!

Cockpit Windows Enhanced

At the request of Javis and "Mgr", we have worked to improve the realism, detail, and appearance of the cockpit windshield and side windows.

These screenshots are of testing textures but you get the idea.

The exterior window frames are a bit 3D and the windows seals help improve the looks around the inside edges.

Still tweaking at this point of these screenshots.

Hallmark of excellence.
You can almost move your fingers round those seals - excellent impression of added depth.
 
Milton, the windows look really good now, just like the pilots !
One remark though: perhaps you should try to make the inside of the cockpit (in the external model, that is) much darker. When I look at real pictures of the tracker on Google, most of the times the inside of the plane is barely visible, it's really dark compared to the external. In your screenshots however, the inside of the cockpit is almost as clear as the external part. What do you think ?
