Our soon-to-be-released Howard 500 had to be done without the benefit of 3-views but we got through it okay. Just goes to prove that it can be done and still turn out nice and accurate in the end.

Here's a recent screenshot suitable for a Desktop Background. 1280X1024

Thanks for the comments y'all.

The Howard 500 is most like the Super Ventura in appearance, however it is far more advanced in most every way imaginable.

There are no plans to do either of the aircraft mentioned. However, I will be making the Gmax source available after release, so if you want to use it as a basis, you may.

We do not announce release dates as we are on no particular schedule. It's done when it's done. Wink

But, you can expect it in late June, I suppose. lol

That is lovely.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong but FS aircraft don't actually reflect the world around them so you would have to have rendered the model to get those engines to reflect against the nose like that yes?

Or is this a feature of FS9?

That is correct, rendered.

As this is a fixed type reflection, we thought it was fine to use. It looks very nice.

While to many, Milton's claim to fame is as a builder of quality models for Flight Simulator, that is icing on the cake.

Milton is a class act - not only does he go through the trouble of breaking new ground in his modelling, but he is more than willing to share his knowledge in the various design forums, AND he will share his source files.

"Dissecting" a Milton Shupe source file is an interesting and educational exercise.

Felix, thank you

Those were very nice compliments.

One of my focal areas is tires and wheels. I want then to be as realistic as possible. You know that a clean set of nice wheels even on a dirty car makes the car look nice? Well, I believe a nice set of gear on an aircraft really helps make it look nice and real.

I really liked how the tail wheel of the Howard turned out.

I'm looking forward to dissecting the action of the scissors links
