An Old Gem

I downloaded Milton Shupe's Aero Commander 500 to see how compatible it was with FSX/SP2/DX9. I was surprised how few problems there are with the model. It had the usual prop problem. I improved it, but it's far from perfect. There are a couple other small issues within the VC, but they're minor. I was surprised when I got no gauge errors during the initial loading, though I did notice the flaps handle gauge didn't seem to work correctly, but there is a flap position indicator so it isn't a big deal.

She still flies like a dream... 8-)

Nice shots! Now can you feather both props and do loops and rolls and low passes at 10 feet, then land?  Gotta love Bob Hoover! ;D ;D

True, but it will have to do untill the original designers properly fix their models for FSX/SP2

Cool bird Andrew! I've always liked Commanders. Mr. Shupe sure does model some nice models eh? You might want to try his D18 too!

I love your fourth shot!

His Beech D18S is one of my all time favorites, along with his Spartan Executive.... 8-)
