    Piper Pacer, WIP screenshots

    Hey all,

    I have wanted to make this for years now. Finally.....

    This is 'work in progress' screenshots of our new baby, the Piper Pacer. Far from done, but coming together. Light at the end of the tunnel.

    Thanks guys.

    I am going to try to put alot of dust and aging bits into the textures, at least some of them, for that lived in look. This is very early progress shots. Still has a glossy coat on the skins, which needs to be tamed down a bit. Working on the interior at present.

    Ditto this, and ditto on the Tri-Pacer!!

    I have a few of your planes Bill, and ready to add this on, provided the Tri-Pacer is included. I loved that plane from Bill Lyons!!

    Woo hoo!!! Haven't been able to fly a PA-20 since I switched to FSX. My old (circa 2003) Pacer doesn't work well in FSX. Hard to believe nowadays that old thing won a flightsim.com design award.....

    Your efforts are looking the part amazingly, Bill. I know Bill & Lynn Lyons would be very happy to see the fruits falling from your tree.
    Very nice!!

    A skilful pilot. In my personal experience droopy tips add a rib and a half of wing surface - extra lift but block your view out under the wing. Do look kind of sexy tho. By the way, this particular version sports 180hp.
