A few screenshots below with PBR worked into the exterior and pilots cockpit. A fair way to go, but hopefully this year will see me finally complete it.

Wow, this is really nice! :wavey:

Can I ask You about this update and your plans?

Will it be free for existing customers (or with discounted price / full)?
I have your both models, this https://www.pcaviator.com/store/product.php?productid=19301&cat=0&page=1 and this https://www.pcaviator.com/store/product.php?productid=21286&cat=0&page=1 .

Hi Yoyo,

Thanks for your kind words.

Due to the amount of work that has been required to convert the exterior of the A-12 to an SR-71, creating new Pilot and RSO virtual cockpits which share only a few items from the A-12 the model is not going to be discounted for existing customers but will more likely be sold at an overall lower price for everyone. I've been working on this project since October 2019 and it really is something to see when it all comes together. I'm currently building new detailed start carts and have plans to make the ground items and crew visibility togglable via a pop-up menu.

My intention is to release the aircraft with early texture schemes with the high visibility markings and tail art and yellow ground equipment, but also include a few standard squadron aircraft with no tail art.

btw. I would like to see an animation of a fuel leak at parking ;).

Following a comment on facebook, I'm adjusting the height of the steps since they are a bit too tall!

With regards to leaking fuel, I am planning to incorporate some kind of animation or effect, and hopefully even a reflective puddle. There are a few other effects I'm working on too.
