I'm actually kind of enjoying texturing. Theo's been helping me a little as well, to speed up my learning. I've already run a few screenshots of my work past Cameron and he is more than satisfied. When it comes to scrutinizing add ons, you won't find many people as meticulous as Cameron.

I guess I may as well let you guys know. A few months ago, Theo approached me to let me know he wanted to go to university. I have always been a huge fan of education, and I would never stand in the way of someone wanting to further theirs. However, along with his regular job, this also meant he wouldn't be able to dedicate any time to add on development. So as hard as it was to have him leave, I had to respect his decision. This meant we were stuck without a texturer. Some names were thrown around, but in the end, I decided to start learning how to texture my own 3D mesh. This has not delayed anything because Jim is still coding systems, and he probably won't finish coding before I finish modeling and texturing. I pretty much picked up texturing within the first 2-3 weeks of starting, and we now have a re-textured Fire Tray (Under the glareshield. I had to remodel it from new, close up photos), new gauges (they had a few issues) and I'm also adding a few fixes and new mesh, that will have to be mapped and baked, to the panel. Regarding Theo's decision...it wasn't out of any kind negativity. There were no fights, arguments or disagreements. He just wanted to further his education, and it is a decision I respect. Any news? Yes. It will DEFINITELY be out some time AFTER this coming Monday. Just don't know what day.

Still looking at things and working on some new mesh for an added Garmin. There's been a large change in the LES world (which I'll disclose soon) and I've had to re-organize a few things and overcome a bit of an obstacle. Work is continuing, though.

This is very unusual as the door opening and closing is completely separate from the aircraft landing. It's a basic, straight forward animation. Seeing as no one else has reported this issue, might I suggest a reinstall.

Jiggy is correct. We chose the 430 purely for its size. We did plan on the 530, but things got pretty crowded on the panel very quickly.

No. This particular model didn't have an FMC (unless it was retrofitted). It will, however, have the Garmin 430 to make navigation between intersections very easy.

Keep experimenting with the flight models per frame. When the aircraft goes nuts in the way you describe, that is usually the culprit.

Go into your in sim settings menu. Operations and Warnings Set flight models per frame to 2 or higher. Edit: Btw, I have the same hardware as you. Saitek X52. No problems on my end.

I'm in the process of updating the Duchess and the Sundowner to have the new GPS as well as POSSIBLY some new textures and mesh. Keeping in mind, I have to fit it in with Citation work, so not sure when it will be done. But it shouldn't be long. Most likely about a month. I'll keep people updated in these forums.

I'll give those numbers a try and see what happens.

Thank you for your comments. Glad you're enjoying it. We do want to do the B variant, it's just a question of when. For now, there are no immediate plans.

I was actually working on this late at night last year, and totally forgot about finishing it the next morning. Thanks for reminding me. I'll take a look and see what I can find. Putting it in my planner. As for the Garmin, I'll consider it.

When we finished working on it. We're well past half way. If all goes well, hopefully some time before mid year.

We just got a new version of Gizmo, literally yesterday, that fixed at least 1 small issue. So testing continues. We want to make sure we iron out all the issues before shipping it out.

This is very unusual behavior. I'm guessing you have some kind of calibration issue. Please recheck your controller calibration for pitch. Usually when they flap, it's because they haven't been calibrated properly

I wish I could. There have been a few changes made to the panel layout. As I type this, I'm working on making it look pretty. When I'm happy with it, I'll post a new screenshot to show what has been included.

Haven't really thought that far ahead. Those are elements we add in the final stages. I did discuss engine covers with Jim and it was pretty much put on the backburner until we get the heavy duty stuff out of the way. However, seeing as we did it on the Saab, I don't see us NOT doing it for the Citation. After you see what we've done, though, the static elements will pretty much be at the bottom of the feature list.

Gabriel, Ben is just messing with you so need to get snippy with how long it takes a developer to make an add on. If Michael Chang takes 3-4 years to make a 787, then good for him. We're not really competing with anyone else when it comes to how fast we make add ons. We make them at our own pace and we want to make them properly. To answer your questions, we don't know when the 747 will be finished. But it's safe to say it won't be out until after XP 11 is out. Goran

There are a LOT of datarefs in this aircraft. What you could do is open LES_Saab_340A_cockpit.obj, scroll to the bottom and you'll see all the datarefs, commands and manipulators. They all have the names that correspond to what they are assigned to. Give that a try and if you have any problems, post back.

Nothing new to show for now.

Go back to the beginning of the thread. First few pages have quite a few screenshots and images of the mesh. Textures are a bit outdated and I'll probably go over those again.

We plan on completing it, we just don't know when. The great majority of our focus is on the Citation for the moment. I sometimes throw in some modelling work on the 744 and 742. Goran

We still plan on finishing the Hawker 4000. I certainly hope so! Fixing up the panel a little. As soon as those fixes are in place, we can finally add more screenshots. Maybe a small video to show how some of the systems work.

Interesting. I might have to try this again and run through some more tests. The rain was my biggest obstacle. Landing is one thing, but I have to make sure it lands and has the correct ground run on landing in the wet, as well as dry concrete and wet/dry gravel..

Tried landing on concrete/asphalt in the rain at those numbers?
