I downloaded this thing not too long ago, I'm must say, its purdy! I took off from my home airport with it, decided to post up some photos of my lil trip.

EDIT: See Below for better pictures!

I kinda wish it had a pilot that was visible from the outside, but i'm not complaining. It's a great aircraft, and a joy to fly... 8-)
It's not too often that I download an aircraft and not end up editing, or rebuilding stuff in it.


It's too bad the payware aircraft I bought wasn't even close to this quality....

Thanks !

Hey Brett , you may need to change the texture into dds otherwise I think won't work in DX10 ,

Hey Andrew did you test Brett's Cardinal in DX10? your reply is very important to us(or just me  :-/)  

Yeah.. I'd be curious about that.. though my cousin has been flying it on a Vista/Acceleration computer.

I think it'll be  OK, as long as it's a true FSX model.  We'll see  :-/

Is Fine Brett ,Andrew just told me Your model work perfectly fine in FSX DX10 buddy don't worry ..



But Put a pilot on that sit man!!!



EDIT : He post first ...lol,...hey

Sure would've been nice if you got us a little closer to the plane for a better look, but I guess I'll just have to try it for myself.

Yea the pictures were gonna be 800x600 but they were too big for the server.

edit: here's some more
edit2: only one thing I would change, I would make a cockpit/vc have a bit less fuzzy panel "backing" other than that, this thing is perfect. I love the gear.

Wow !  Great shots...  Of course I'm a little biased...


I think you might have gone over the 500kb thread limit though...  QUICK delete the first set, so people can see these stunning shots  :)

SSSSSHHHhhhh!

Love the shots. i actually looked into trying to re-paint the Cessna 177 today, but it's been years since i've done anything of the sort, and started feeling overwhelmed. Oh well....

The goofy new FSX materials are tough...  If you don't get the spectral map (and its alpha), and diffuse map (and its alpha), just right; you get a "film" that obscures detail at best... and opaque glass and chrome that turns black at night, at worst.

I'm not even comfy repainting it... A couple of people have tried, but they didn't have the patience to tweak the new alphas.. so I asked them not to release the re-paints. It's not that I'm extra picky, but when rivets get smudged and the detail lines of the engine cylinder blur.. well... it's not pretty  :(
