FSX 1939 HM-4 Aeroval (moonship) designed by Howel Miller of the famed GeeBee racers of the 1930's.Planned as a feeder airliner and crew trainer. Vidal resin-coated plywood over steel-tube fuselage twin pusher engines. Retractable tricycle gear, with steerable nose wheel. Enclosed cabin with seating for four in two pairs,with entrance doors on both sides of the plane. Only one aircraft was ever made and it failed to attract buyers and was eventually donated to a trades school.Built with FSDS3.5.1 and FSTweaks. The Aircraft has fully lighted VC and detailed 2-d cockpit. Glossy textures on paint and glass. Flight Dynamics by Airwrench and Brian Horsey. Another free aircraft from Rarewings.com

The textures are not the best, but the VC is very good and it flies like a charm. Propwash was wrong, 3-blade and it should be 2. I have corrected that with a new prop wash. Bitmap textures, converted to DDS DXT5, main fuselage and wing textures enlarged to 2048 X 2048. new blue and white detail markings done in vector graphics, old markings were raster and bad. Still have to work on the panel line and weathering detai's and maybe work the Alpha to have a touch less sheen.

This thing should work fine in FS9 too, so I am going to work up a new texture set for that too and give it a whirl.

First screen shows old markings and prop wash. Other three show my new marking and prop wash.

Caz I saw this and I thought it looked poor but from your shots its looks ok, think I may give it a go, any vc shots and we need to work on those props and the shine like mate!
 
The VC is very good for a port-over and freeware.

the overall textures do need some work, as mention the details look as if raster graphics were used. The Alpha is too shiny. New prop wash has already been done. main textures enlarged as mentioned for better resolution. No World Cup tomorrow and it's going to be hot here, may do some more work on it. It is worthy as freeware and the flight dynamics appear okay.
