Something with twin engines of a passenger type. Another hint please....

The middle picture in the top row shows one of the hydraulic cylinders in a rather complex main landing gear assembly whose use is optional not compulsory! ;)

You were correct that it is a twin-engine, civilian, passenger aircraft, additionally it was manufactured from 1946 to 1951. It was replaced by a larger version of the same family line that eventually had four aircraft in it's heritage and they all had avian names. :unsure:
 
Pete got it. It is my own LDR FSX Grumman Mallard that I am converting to P3D v4+ standards with PBR textures. I still have a bit of work to do with the textures and the 'chrome' material from FSX is looking a bit 'odd' in P3D so I have to do some research to find out if the 'recipe' changed between the two sims.

Regarding the family line and avian name clues there were four aircraft released in sequence over several years and all were named after water-fowl or sea birds. It started with the Grumman G-21 Goose in 1937, then the Grumman G-44 Widgeon in 1941, the Grumman G-73 Mallard in 1946 and finally the Grumman HU-16 Albatross in 1949. All aircraft featured twin engines mounted to a high wing with stability floats mounted under the wings.
 
I tried this GTN 750 mod (for the non LDR radial model) but nothing appears in the VC - the bezel is there. Seems to need a missing VC entry in the panel.cfg but I don't see an entry for the GPS in the VC it replaces. Puzzling.

Do you have the payware Flight1 Garmin GTN 750? I think the mod you refer to just adds the place holder/bezel to display the payware GPS unit.

It would appear that Flight1 (and other Garmin GPS providers) had stopped selling their products as they cannot be found anywhere anymore. I don't know if Garmin have cancelled licences to portray their products in flight sims or if the source data providers have changed their systems so that the payware products no longer work (much like when all the free weather engines died when the source data dried up).
 
I'd looked at getting the F1 GTN 750 or a similar product when I recently got some of the Milviz freeware to install correctly at long last but no resellers currently have it available and with no reason given but posts over at AVSIM prompted my statement above.
