Remember Greg Pepper's FS2002 CV-580. I saw that he posted a GMAX source file on FFDS and he says he would like for someone to go and improve it for later versions of FS.

Well I decided to inherit his model and improve in ways. It's going to feature a DVC, Virtual Cabin, modern XML animations, realistic soundset, real panel all kinds of good stuff. I still got some learning to do, like how to make XML stuff. I also want to figure out some bugs too.

I also might make the Convair 5800 version too.

Heres some photos of the progress:

I want to find out how to export my GMAX model without it saying "Node: C_gear, etc. has a scale applied. Remove before exporting." How do I do that? When I use the plane none of the animations besides the props and the ailerons, elevators, all the FS generated animations work.

If anyone could help me with this problem that wound be highly appreciated.

Nah it's for FS2004, I have FSX Deluxe V1 but it's not installed my computer's hard disk is too small   If someone wants to tweak it to work in SP2/Accel FSX they can after I release it.

I love it too, too bad there barely in passenger service anymore.   It's one of my favorite birds in the sky. For some reason I have a real big thing for twin engine turboprops.

By the way, I'll keep you guys updated on the CV-580. I can't wait till it's done!  

I am working on the Allison D501 soundset for it right now, taking a break from the modelling and stuff. The sound of an Ally is one of my favorite sounds.
