Concerning the metal finish, it has been pointed out to me by the two experts on this subject that I was indeed, incorrect. It is, after all, a bare metal finish and not painted. I do apologize for not only the confusion but also for the statement negating that.
So, we will be fixing this and bringing it into the BMF state in the next couple of days. Screenies will be shown soon.
In terms of what types of failures/fuel/prop/hydraulics/oil systems will be functional, I will leave that to Chuck, FSD and DCC who are all working on this one together. Just so you are aware, DCC is also doing the soundset for this plane.
Moving along and coming soon!
