I've got just this one of the panel, but it is not the final version. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/SPSP1.jpg Nick is the guy that can best reply to your question. Thanks for your nice comment.

There have been a lot of changes since Bobs test version

VC was upgraded with similar but better looking textures and changes to some of the controls and layout.

Superchargers were added to engines and they will blow the engines if over revved too long... and includes the blown engine FX... if caught in time the engine can recover as it cools down but will not have the same horsepower in a recovery situation.. how well the damaged engine recovers depends on how long it was over-revved.. completely locked up being the worse case.

Panel redux will incorporate correct cold and dark startup sequence along with a redux on the layout of the overhead and radio panels


Still in the construction phase but coming along. As soon as I finish fixing the XML code on the existing gauges and adding the upgraded code we will move on to the final panel layout and the manual



Looks like your having fun Bob.. we will have another test version ready probably within a week


It will require the pilot be a bit on his toes.. no more "gun it and go" easy stuff anymore. Too much too fast = BOOM


I can model a JATO system using the acceleration nitrous oxide boost system but if one does not have acceleration that boost won't work because I dont think the nitrous sim vars commands exist for non acceleration users. I have not decided if I will do that yet or not

Sweet images Bob! I really like that you're showing its amphibious features. Never seen such a sequence before.

Strange thing though, that Marlin. I like it but it isn't love at first sight ::)

Great and unusual shots of it exiting the water, did its belly clear the top angle of the ramp? Looks cool, but the paint doesn't look very 2008...

What a crazy contraption. I guess it's cheaper than a runway  :-/
