    Sorry, I know that is the turbine bird. I also - probably more like - the radial plane ..
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

Trial and error....
    Trying not to have those interiors too blurred. Catching up with the times...Im getting old for this...;-)
    Recommend you not use DXT3 at all. You lose too much clarity in the compression.

    Save as bmps at your largest 4096 or 2048 in best resolution. I'll send you a batch Imagetool set to convert to DDS/DXT5 for the sim if you wish.

    Loving the Mallard. I was wondering if any camera definitions are available so the magnificent interiors can be accessed more easily?

    You have no idea how this helps ! When texturing the cabin, I had to move inside using the default FS keys, and it (took) takes ages !
    I like to see if the carpet line is all matched with the walls, the bulkheads, etc...
    The shading inside, etc, etc....this is great.
    I say this because I'm still doing new cabin interiors, I mean, not new, just updating them slightly, and creating different sets for the different repaints.
    As I just wrote to Milton, another sleepless night )))

    Thanks

    Gentlemen, let's try to keep this radial release thread about the radial and move turboprop discussions to the turboprop release thread here:

    Thanks :-)

    A huge thanks to Milton and the rest of the team who brought this to completion

    It's absolutely magnificent.

    I'm a hopeless radial fanatic, if it's got round engines then I have to have it

    Well done to all concerned.

    Pete.

    Though the whine of a PT-6 spooling up is stirring in other ways, the start up and running sounds of the P&W radials on this bird has me completely addicted. I cannot stop flying this one . .

    I find you have to be discreet when checking if the carpet matches the drapes.

    Had I known about these .cfg lines before, and the time it would have saved me when doing those textures!
    After finishing a few things in the turbine bitd, Im coming back to this gorgeous too. ;-) Miltons models are all beautifully designed, visually accurate, but the Mallard has been my favorite all these years! Lets see what I can still come up with soon.;-)

    For P3Dv2.3+ users who wish to eliminate the transom water drops after water takeoff, do the following:

    1) Open the aircraft.cfg
    2) Find the "Lights" section
    3) Comment out these two lines with leading slashes (//)

    //light.5=9, -3.350000, -2.720000, -5.250000, SP2112_MALLARD_TRANSOM_DROP //LOGO
    //light.6=9, -3.350000, 2.720000, -5.250000, SP2112_MALLARD_TRANSOM_DROP //LOGO

    Sorry, I meant to document this in the release for P3Dv2.3+ users.

    The effect can be corrected if you have P3Dv2.3+ and can change effects.
    I do not have P3D so am unable to modify and test it properly.

    If you can do this, the effect is called "SP2112_MALLARD_TRANSOM_DROP".
