Been playing around upgrading the avionics using freeware gauges for the S2 and E1. A Bendix AP panel was also added for long flights between shore and fleet.

I would be highly interested as I have four S2's in my VA fleet and waiting a painter before entering service in the Arctic and Liberia Africa.

OT I'd like to see the textures/skins for all the G7's the were in BMP format converted to DDS so they would be compat with the new natives releases.

done with the panel mod, applicable to both S2 and E1 for use with our modern fleet.

o uses gauges from freeware Iris PC9 (available from Iris) for primary flight instruments
o night lighting for above gauges
o overhead and pedestal night lighting improved (can now see at night)
o rxp gns530 can be used
o some camera views added

the s2 and e1 are such excellent planes, really enjoy them both and performing carrier ops.

instrumentation mod is done, decided to go for the modern naval aircraft two-tone panel colors.

with gns530waas, rnav approaches are possible, truely up to date.
