The Goose flies again for MSFS

Members +
Pam Booker and I are getting pretty close to a release on the OzX Goose Redux HD for MSFS (phew what a mouthful), though we might need to change the working title. Pam remains the only active member of the OzX team who updated the original FSX Goose and we've spent a lot of time with this beauty making her even better for MSFS by replacing all of the old 2D XML Instruments with 3D Gauges, upscaling all of the textures to 4K using AI Upscaling and creating PBR textures for all of the liveries as well.

This was taken halfway through the 2D XML replacement

We should have this out (preliminary release) for everyone by Christmas with final updates finished early in the New Year. The development board can be seen here: Grumman Goose for MSFS


We stand on the sholders of Giants and the beauty of this bird is a testament to the original developers and then the OzX Team who took her to the next level.

[EDIT] I should say also that this is a FULL native conversion and not a port-over.

Outstanding! I may have to look at my paints again..

Any chance of adding a second wing, texture-wise? The wing textures are now mirrored.

For the inital release? Probably not but maybe for a later release or......... a different release ;)
 
Speaking of gooses, have you guys seen this "plane" somebody made on a lark as his first aircraft? (pun intended)

Flyable goose (of the avian variety)

:)

Might be something fun to play with Pam and Oz, lots of room for improvement (I wonder what the cockpit view could be, simply a bird's eye view, maybe a HUD that a bird might have could be imagined :) )... wing flap sounds instead of an engine and the like..
