Hello, Yes it has been a little quiet, but that doesn't mean there is no progress. As for new pictures, not within the next two weeks as the Beaver is getting a facelift. I decided to upgrade the textures and the quality, so it will look even more realistic. I am sure you will like it. I am planning ahead for the future, and sometimes it is good going back to the drawing board, in order to have an easy and efficient workflow for the future. Nice picture by the way. Looks really great! Still won't talk about a release date and still have to ask you to be patient. It will be worth it, but sometimes wonderful things get in the way of development. For example becoming a daddy.

Hi guys, Just wanted to say hi and also to post a few screenshots of an amazing plane which was added to my hanger last weekend. It's the T34C Mentor by Javier Rollon and in my mind, one of the most amazing aircraft I've ever flown in a simulator; be it FSX or X-Plane. I know it's been out for a while; but hey, it takes me a while to catch up with things ! She's really an absolute joy to fly; so hats off to the developer and many thanks, because she really is that good! Hope you like the screenshots Dom http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440373/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440373/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440459/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440459/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440749/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440749/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483532262/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483532262/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440675/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482440675/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483530136/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483530136/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483529784/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483529784/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483529722/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8483529722/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482438323/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482438323/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482438275/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482438275/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482437745/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482437745/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482437637/'>http://www.flickr.com/photos/41736044@N07/8482437637/'>T34CMentor by http://www.flickr.com/people/41736044@N07/'>domfliss, on Flickr

Haha. My 11 y.o. says he's an X-Plane orphan. But Rhydian, remembering back, I think she's right. Nice thing about the Thrustmaster is you can always push it back and forth as you walk by on your way to the nursery. May be all the action it gets for a while... Congrats Pete. Wonderful news to share with everyone and that is your priority for sure. There will be times though, maybe an hour or two a day, when rather than catch a nap, you can still keep modelling Who needs sleep anyhow? There will be no other P&W rounds in my hangar until that beauty you're working on slides into her rightful place at the front and nearest to the coffee machine. bc

Thanks Ryan and Andy! A little girl.

... and disk space!

I agree have the same perspective as Litjan on this ... but thanks for the idea though!

Yes, having the real Boeing manuals is certainly great - unfortunately reading official FCOMs is REALLY boring, and I sometimes struggle to remember the stuff I read a page ago . For me it works best when I put into context what I read - so if I read about how the logic of the pneumatic isolation valve works in auto mode, for example, I have a big question mark over my head - but when you get a chance to throw some switches and see the effect, it becomes crystal clear very quickly.

Hax0rz have hit!!

Why waste time making manuals when they're already out there? Just google a little and you can find the FCOM, FCTM and QRH no problem. I already have them at hand in my tablet so I can study the correct procedures in my spare time :-).

Moving across the exterior putting in detail stuffs....wing tip lights, slats and slat actuators, etc. Nils knocking out the engine texturing. Jan has a new video that will be up soon on the autothrottle too.

Whats the old saying... "...Absence makes the heart grow fonder..."

Thanks for the comments guys . The Mentor really is amazing; the attention to detail is just stunning; pure joy just to sit in it, LOL! Cameron, thanks for your help with this !
