Got this one started and as usual there's always some nebulous issue that hounds me. :)

This project has four models: turret, dome, capped, and civilian, so it will take a while.

There are 10 liveries; here are 3 of them using the turret model that is a WIP.

Really looking forward to this one, Milton! The AT-11 is such a cool airplane, especially with all of the wartime details - turret, bomb sight, bomb bay, etc. - and having seen a few over time in real life, it allows me to enjoy your sim model even more. I visited one last year that is just beginning to undergo restoration to complete original WWII configuration/details, at AirCorps Aviation, that is thought to have likely been used by the WASP's during one of its assignments during WWII, at Childress Army AFB in Childress, Texas. http://www.wotn.org/aircraft/kansan/

Thank you John.

I was fortunate in this build to have access to, and support from Taigh Ramey who was restoring an AT-11 at Twinbeech.com
 
Cargo Hauler of Course

Yes Bubba, there is a revenue producer.

The Civilian Version is alive as a cargo mover, mostly small stuff though.

All models now converted; just need to go thru them for a quality check before beta testing.

Finally finished with the modeling, adding pilot and turret gunner, a few more tweaks and we should be good for beta.

In the early '40's, the HAAF in Hobbs, NM was a busy place, a heavy user of the AT-11's for B-29 bomber training, gunner training, mechanic training, navigation training, etc. Over 4000 service men and women were stationed there along with a host of AT-11's, B-29's, and other misc. aircraft.

Tako_Kichi did this airbase back in 2010-11 modeling every building, tower, train, and vehicle there at the time I think. It also sports alternate airports for navigation training plus bombing sites. Great job and home for the AT-11.

The scenery is available here at SOH.

After about 250 downloads of the beta, I have received only one report of issues, so I assume all is well.

I will upload the final version this weekend, maybe late Saturday, to give a little more time for those who work long and hard all week.

I only noticed the prop spinner isn't too visible. Other than that everything else is great. Thanks for the upload.

I just want to ask. I have the plane installed in my FSX

There is a File ID with some info. It mentions. Also look for Larry Green's scenery for the Hobbs Army Airforce (HAAF) B-17 Bomber Training Base featuring AI Flights, static models and AT-11's.
I'm still looking around for this scenery addon. Can anyone point me to where Larry Green's scenery addon is or who has it. I did look for it on Avsim and at flightsim website. If Larry's scenery addon is here in the Warbirds Library. I'm not seeing it. I'd like to give it a try, when I find it
I assume it will work in my FSX etc.

Thanks Falcon.

This will probably be a real trip, getting it installed, because I have all the orbx products installed in my fsx. So. I'm not sure what kind of issues I'll run into. I will at least have the Hobbs field added above all my orbx addon entries in my fsx library. I guess I'm concerned about the Hobbs afcad file, because of all the addon's I have at the moment.

I wouldn't expect to see any problems as long it sits above Orbx. . .which is where you have it placed. It should be fine.

I haven't installed Hobbs yet. I'm reading the Readme with important info. What is the ICAO code of the field where Hobbs will be when I install it?. On the orbx side, There have been a lot of freeware packs coming out. These are more or less making default airfields look better and add some things. This includes default military fields as well. I usually stay away from these freeware's in general.
I could end up with duplicate ICAO codes showing up. I'll search for duplicate afcads and de-activate one of them, if need be etc.

Hobbs AAF Installs as NM82. The site of the WWII Hobbs AAF is today called Hobbs Industrial Airpark, but the airfield is not active (closed down in May 1948). The wartime runways are mostly intact. Should be no ADE conflicts with Orbx or FSX.

I did get the Hobbs AAF installed. When I started my FSX and put in the code NM82. it put me at NM80. The code I had to use to get Hobbs to show up was NM83. No problem. Hobbs does show up as required etc.
