Great to hear back from you. The biggest concern is the lack of texturing. So my question to you would be...are you still designing aircraft/have your texturing skills increased to the point that you would consider re-texturing the Starship to make it user-friendly?

There is no payware developer interested in producing a Starship at this time. Even if they were to consider doing one, it would be a year or longer before it would ever be close to release. Your Starship is the best that both FS9 and FSX has right now, largely due to the excellent work that was done with the VC. Is there any chance that you would consider revisiting that airplane to make some changes?

Thanks again for the Starship and coming back online to respond.

I believe we still have the original model files, I may go back and re texture map the fuselage. Thanks for the compliments everyone, I did not expect this kind of reaction! We were working on making everything compatible with FSX at the time of its release in 2006. Due to a popularity of the Starship recently, I thought it would be great to get it out there for enthusiasts to enjoy.

I know the Starship seems to be a kind of "Cult Favorite" and the only other one available is a very basic aircraft without a VC which a lot of folks expect to have with newer aircraft.
It would be great to have the external areas re-textured and would probably add to the enthusiasm seen with it's initial release. If you decide to do that, let me know and I'll help with a few suggestions on what should be textured and how. Thanks again!
