				Our soon-to-be-released Howard 500 had to be done without the benefit of 3-views but we got through it okay.  Just goes to prove that it can be done and still turn out nice and accurate in the end. :-)
Here's a recent screenshot suitable for a Desktop Background. 1280X1024

				Even for a confirmed heavy-flyer like me, that's a nice looking plane, Milton!

				That is lovely.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong but FS aircraft don't actually reflect the world around them so you would have to have rendered the model to get those engines to reflect against the nose like that yes?
Or is this a feature of FS9?

				That is correct, rendered.
As this is a fixed type reflection, we thought it was fine to use.  It looks very nice. :-)

However, I will be making the Gmax source available after release, so if you want to use it as a basis, you may.

				Felix, thank you :-)  Those were very nice compliments.
One of my focal areas is tires and wheels.  I want then to be as realistic as possible.  You know that a clean set of nice wheels even on a dirty car makes the car look nice?  Well, I believe a nice set of gear on an aircraft really helps make it look nice and real.
I really liked how the tail wheel of the Howard turned out. :-)

				Quite phenominal detail! I'm a sucker for detail & my hat is off to this ground breaking stuff.

				I know I've already commented but...
Stunning.  Absolutely stunning.
I hope it shows up in FS2002....  ;-)
