The Ryan STA and Globe Swift by Bill Lyons seem to fly themselves in FSX. Does anyone know the secret of getting the pilots and passengers into the planes?

Are you using them in FSX Acceleration? I'd love to port these 2 over but figured it'd take massive amounts of work.

Whoa, Nice!

How'd you manage to get it to look like that?

I tried to port the Ryan over several times but had all sorts of texture issues.
 
Hi Mal,
There were gauge issues and those that FsX wouldn't accept I changed for more modern ones. A couple of the models had texture issues so I left them behind (we have to remember that it's an Fs2002 plane, so about 9 years old now!) and I used a set of textures that gave good reflectivity. I think I had to change out the prop texture and darkened the glass alphas to minimise the "behind the clouds" issue.
Beautiful though this Lyons masterpiece is, as I mentioned above it is elderly and isn't on a par with a contemporary, made for FsX aircraft.
 
Roger agreed!

She is a bit long in the tooth, but still one of my favorite Golden Era mounts...what lines!

Would love to see someone finally do one, along with a Staggerwing and Reliant.

Oh well, I can dream, can't I?
