This really is a work of art! Every time you post new images I think that it can't get any better but it does. How close to complete do you think it is?

Thanks "C" and as far as when, I checked the developers forum and no announcements yet on a release date. I'm using a FSX test model at the moment.

I'm sure it's a fantastic video, Ted, but I can't see it?

I just noticed something else: in the detailed side view you show in post #202, the panel lines seem a bit too grey to me. If I look at detailed images of DC-3/C-47's around the world, the panel lines are actually quite sharp, dark and well pronounced on the bare metal ones,

By all means that is an exceptional example, most are as you say are darker from grunge, dirt, etc.

Lines set to 100%, no alphas, no bumps....

un trabajo espectacular de paciencia, dedicación y placer por un trabajo bien hecho, ¿hay una fecha de lanzamiento? Por cierto, también he visto que en las fotos de la cabina en Xplane el piloto automático no lleva la etiqueta inop, significa que puede tenerlo en p3d v4?, muchas gracias por sus respuestas
