One of my favorites in FSX, take my money Mathias. I'm a little guy, that cockpit will fit just fine.

Is there a Klemm for FSX??

Stunning work, Mathias!

***Mathias*** · April 27th, 2023, 00:24

Thanks much, guys!
Cees, there was a Klemm L25 originally made for FS98 and ported to 2000/2002 and maybe FS2004 IIRC, but none for FSX that I'd know of.
I think Cazzie refers to our old FSX crates in general (thanks for that, Sir!).

No, My poor old brain has to reserve memory on external cards too. It was FS9, not FSX. I had the FS2002 also. Brain flatulence. I just have a thing for two-seat tandem trainers. My brother says I have a fetish for amphibian aircraft too. I do.

Isn't that the truth, if Mathias and crew don't release it soon, my money is going to burn my britches off!

It's getting crowded now in the office. Not much stuff left to do, placards, some fittings and a few nails here and there, polishing materials and next we can move on to the MSFS config blues, oh well.

BTW guys, as you know I've been away for a couple of years. It doesn't seem en vogue anymore amongst devs to show progress screenshots.
Why is that?

Wow! That is looking great! Sure buy for me this one. Fantastic job!

It looks exceptional, Mathias. It's rare these days to see a developer with a real passion for the aircraft they make, but it's easy to see this is the case in your work. I've always admired your attention to detail/desire at getting things right/accurate. I love the look of all of the woodwork and the mechanical hardware. Everything looks phenomenal, and I especially like the looks of what I assume to be a fuel wobble/pressure pump, and the unique look and detail in the control stick and rudder bar and brakes. I'm really looking forward to seeing this completed!

***Mathias*** · May 27th, 2023, 05:06

Thank you kindly, guys!
John, yes, that's the fuel transfer pump.
300 strokes to transfer 20 liters of fuel from the wing tanks to the main tank.
Elly Beinhorn flew from Berlin to Marokko with a 20 hp version of this aircraft.
She must have had biceps like a Gorilla when she returned home. :-)

Placards are in.
Some little fittings TBD and we're ready to polish the textures.
Please ignore the AO artefact behind the slipball, that'll get fixed.

Very exciting Mathias, looking forward to the Klemm.

***Mathias*** · August 16th, 2023, 06:58

Cockpit geometry is complete, save for a bit of cleanup and fixing to do here and there.
Textures are about to receive final touches.
One thing of note: Ambient occlusion so far is temporary, that'll get done in a render pass in Max once everything else is said and done.
With the proper AO-layers in you'll notice a considerable improvement in lighting and depth.

You can almost smell the leather and wood.
Well done , Sir .

***Bomber_12th*** · August 16th, 2023, 19:01

You truly are a master of your craft, Mathias! I've been greatly enjoying each update you provide.

My first impression as well!

***Yossarian1943*** · August 18th, 2023, 13:14

Awesome, can´t wait for release.

***Mathias*** · August 19th, 2023, 08:02

Thanks guys!

***Yossarian1943*** · August 19th, 2023, 14:15

I hope there will be your FW 190 "family" also available for MSFS. Thinking about to reinstall FSX just to fly a D9.

***eddie*** · August 28th, 2023, 14:02

On another note, found this pic, taken quite a while ago,lol

Hey Scotty, my dear old chap, really nice to see you around here!
Man, we havn't talked for a while.

***eddie*** · August 29th, 2023, 09:42

Nice to see you too Mathias, yes its been a very long time since we talked. Glad to see you working on models again, you do such great work. We lost a good friend earlier this year, Ted Miller, crossram, passed away. Sure miss him too.

Need to get my Win 10 pc fixed, so when this plane comes out, I can giver her a try! I'm still looking for that Bang Gang picture you sent me a long time ago, just not sure where it is,lol

***Mathias*** · September 2nd, 2023, 02:51

Howdy guys, little update here
The cockpit geometry is complete, ambient occlusion layers are in and I'm now working on weathering and patina (of which this aircraft has quite a lot!).
Oh, and the light in FS is just beautifull in early September! :-)
