Thanks! Yes, I will add a VC to it. It will be similar in style with the S-46 Orca cockpit....

i think it should also be a bit car-like.
since this would be a "normal man's" aircraft.
looking nice so far,think i'll take repainting up again. Wink

When I say like the Orca, I mean with the same HUD style and stuff like that. The controls are going to be similar to those of the S-4A prototype (If you don't know it just search simv for S-4A Prototype)

No way man. I had very bad experiences with setting release dates before. Heck, acording to the release date, my F-22 would have been released almost 2 years ago...

By the way, what kind of flight model are you intending to use ? Plane or helicopter ?
I'm guessing helicopter.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Nope, VTOL plane. You have to lower the flaps in FS to make it take off vertically...
And I still have exams until next monday, so no play time until there....

Back to work on the "beast"! Grin

Textured most of the exterior. Only the landing gear and stuff related to that is left to be mapped and textured. Also some details I haven't added yet. I've also been playing around with the bump map.
Next stop: Cockpit

The flight characteristics are nice too. Though when you land it seems like the plane has landed on a pillow and, after touching down and stoping the plane, it slowly rotates to the "rest" position.

Up is the way to go.
