A fair amount of work has already gone into this thing, including use of new techniques in modeling and airfile design.  I have a few bugs to work out now (mainly texturing issues) and I'd like to do all of the gauges, or at least as many as possible, as part of the model itself.





I need at least the main gauges (Vert Speed, Art. Horiz, Turn Coord and Airspeed), but I do already have the Altimeter modeled.  I made the panel as close to the actual thing as I could, but I changed the color from the one seen on the website to one in photos taken by Felix.



I'm also struggling with some texture issues.  No matter what I seem to do, I can't get the left wing reflections to match the right wing reflections.  Look at the image below:



The left wing should have the same reflections as the right, but no matter how I manipulate it I don't get anything out of it.  I tried retexturing the entire wing, but it came out the same.  I also tried flipping the texturing map around and that didn't work.  Any bright ideas?

After all that, I do plan on getting the VC rain effects up and running, just as soon as I figure out how to do it right.  I didn't really get much out of the SDK, so I guess I'll just have to experiment.  The Jenny gmax file ought to teach me what I need to know on that count.
