I thought a bit of an update might be in order.  I would have had this done sooner, but I went back and re-worked the fuselage so it took a bit longer than I would have like.  I think the new one is much better...

As always, feel free to pick it apart and tell me what you don't like and what is wrong!

FSX...

I do have one issue with the model . . . it doesn't seem to have a propeller . . .

I do like the SimV paintjob.  Keep up the work!

How about a giant rocket, right behind the pilot?

"Let's see you talk to ATC now!  Hahahahaha!"

My laugh is an evil laugh!

Well, I still have a long way to go myself.  It's just a matter of making yourself learn a new program.  I still have to learn how to do a panel, the air & cfg files, VC, etc...  Give it a shot.  The worst you'll do is waste a little time and get a better understanding of how FS works. At best, you could make some yourself and find you enjoy it.

I think one small benefit of Aces closing may be that if we have a few years now, it'll get easier for people to make planes, without having to learn a new SDK every two years.  People may start picking up the baton again, rather than shying away from it.

For me personally, I am trying not just to learn to make a plane for FS, but to learn to model and animate in 3d as a hobby.  It started out as trying to just make a plane I wanted, but  my interest has grown outside of FS as well.  Right now, however, my monitor took a dump so I think this may be on hold for a bit.  I still have my laptop, but I really don't think it's up to the task for something this intensive.
