Great shots, Rob Cool

Is the new Goshawk package an improvement over the old one, and in what way/s please?

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I haven't downloaded it, but I've seen from the changelog that Dino just removed redundant or excess files for a reduced footprint.

According to the Readme,
Quote:

VERSION 2.21
- Removed unnecessary duplicate files for reduced footprint
VERSION 2.20
- Changed external model canopy glass reflection to get rid of separate DX9/DX10 models. The new glass material (textured) looks OK in both modes.
- Fixed texture folder cfg for texture aliasing
- Added all the repaints from Jiri Soukup (which include the outstanding Centennial Of Naval Aviation schemes that were missing from the original package)
- Minor fixes to virtual cockpit (mainly misalignment of some switches)
- Improved HUD symbol generator modeling (should look slightly better now)
- Redone all thumbnails for visual consistency in FSX menu
- Fixed launch bar retraction animation sequence
- Fixed UVW mapping texture in tailhook pivot area

That's quite the aircraft. Enjoy it every time I take it up. Wonderful screens, especially the 3rd one.

Thanks for the info guys.......I have V2.0, so if there are no significant changes I think I'll save myself the hassle of a DL and installation Wink

It's a pretty easy install Chuck, but I see your point. You are also correct, Dino hasn't reinvented the wheel with this new version, but he's improving one of the best freeware out there, hands down!

v2.00? You really need to download the update; the second update up from yours (v2.10) added the rear instructor cockpit.
