steven winslow Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 Here are some pics of my Sundowner. I'm attaching a picture of the real world Sundowner that I based my repaint on. I love this plane.Sure would love a paint kit with the layered files so I could do a better job with the painting. Quote
samen Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 Which photograph is of the real one? Cant differentiate Quote
steven winslow Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Posted August 18, 2010 Seriously? Now that's a real compliment! The last photograph is the real world Sundowner. All the airborne pics are the Leading Edge Sundowner. Quote
Goran_M Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 Steven, Thank you for putting those up. Out of all the photos I have of the Sundowner, I don't have a 3/4 photo to show the aircraft in perspective and compare it to the aircraft in the sim.The update is very close to finished.I'll be looking for more screenshots should you put them up.

MaidenFan Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 Nice job on the repaint, and nice job Leading Edge Simulations on the making of the plane. Quote
steven winslow Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Posted August 19, 2010 I've got tons of screenshots of the Sundowner. You could say I'm a bit obsessive about taking screenshots. I'll do some more editing and get some more posted. I really do love this plane and I'm excited to get the update. I've never had more fun flying a GA plane than this one. Can't wait to get my hands on your new stuff, too! Thank you for all the work you put into your aircraft!Thanks for the compliment, Rush. You gotta love Leading Edge! Quote
steven winslow Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Posted August 19, 2010 If I could only get my hands on the layered paint files...... : Quote
Goran_M Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 The fuselage has been completely remodeled. So with that being said, the psd files for the exterior of the Sundowner that's currently available will be obsolete once the update is out. Theo is working on getting one ready very soon after the update is out.Everything is done now but for the panel regions, 2 more textures and manipulators Quote
steven winslow Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Posted August 19, 2010 Sweet! Good to know. You guys rock! Quote
scottb613 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Hey Steve, First post on X-Plane - never used the software... Great pictures - I didn't realize X-Plane could look so good !!! I love the dirt in the rocker switches as I spend a great deal of time cleaning them... The Sundowner and now Duchess certainly dragged me over to this side of the fence - as I've got an 82 Sundower... How does she fly from a pilots perspective ???Regards,Scott Quote
steven winslow Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Posted August 20, 2010 Thanks for the compliment, Scott. She flies pretty true to life. I think they've done a great job with the flight characteristics. You'd be better judge than I since you actually fly one. All I can say is that she's worth the investment! And fun to fly! Quote
scottb613 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Hi Steve, Sorry - I misunderstood - I thought that was your bird in the PIX... Nice paint job !!!Regards,Scott Quote
steven winslow Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Posted August 20, 2010 Ah....gotcha. Nope, not a real world pilot...yet. Working on it, though. Quote
