After a long and frustrating time with the Falcon 20 project, I have now decided to continue the V2.
The new picture shows a new base repaint of the VIP version, which I will use for all models now. Now I only have to repaint more than 40 textures to the new base textures, then the V2 can be released.
I have no idea how long it will take.

For Arild,
V2, Royal Norwegian Air Force ECM 053 Munin, one of two already in service.

I think I didn´t show finished V2 Guardian of French Navy. It is a special model based of Arilds Falcon 200 I tweaked. This base repaint did Martial Feron some time ago. A nice one!

Wondering about flight crew in military style overalls (no g-suit or safety vests) in the military themed versions rather than shirt and tie corporate wear?
Or would it be an easy repaint to alter that?
V2 is going on. Now crews has their own suits. Did a lot of improvments with materials and textures. First WIP-pic of V2 cockpit.

Awesome VC.
One would write "can't wait", but I will patiently

I was passenger of this aircraft (sept 95) when...
The emergency crank was just below my seatThe Falcon 20 had a night stop at Port-Harcourt (PHC), and departed at 06:37 UTC Lagos (LOS). The takeoff was normal, but after passing 1500ft when carrying out the "after takeoff" checks the crew noted that there was a red landing gear warning light indicating that the left main landing gear was not properly closed.
The crew recycled the landing gear twice but the problem persisted. A third recycling was carried out with the landing flaps extended to 10 degrees. After this, the warning light went off and the flight continued normally cruising at FL220.
The aircraft commenced its initial descent at about 07:15 UTC. The aircraft was cleared for an ILS approach to runway 19R. Close to the localiser intercept, the gears were lowered and the landing gear indicators showed that the left main gear was not deployed. The landing gears were recycled, but to no avail. The crew then proceeded to the area west of the field, climbed to 5000ft and carried out the "Emergency and Abnormal checklist"-Landing gear will not extend (Procedure B). Numerous attempts of this procedure were made but the left main gear failed to lock down.
The crew then carried out a low fly past for a visual observation of the landing gears. The crew also tried side-slipping the aircraft to shake the left landing gear down, but with no positive result.
An emergency was declared and after burning the fuel in the main tanks and the landing was made with the two gears extended. The aircraft touched down and veered to the left side of the runway and ran into the runway shoulder.
Good aircraft : no hurt, thanks God.
That VC - especially the 3D gauges, is getting better and better!!
When released, will the clarity of the gauges be fairly uniform? For example the airspeed, altitude, VSI gauges seem crisper than the engine gauges, at least in that shot. Maybe it's just the screenshot or angle.
But it needs to be said - over the number of iterations, this model has gone from a decent model to superb external model (in the last go-round) and then you're matching that with the internal model. Remarkable progress, and very eagerly awaited.
Thanks for the progress shots along the way!

Sent the new approvements of interior/exterior to Rotorhub to verify VR behavior. On my system I have no impact on frames with V2.
In V2 there will be 16 different models with 22 different repaints. Including Falcon 20, Falcon 200 and HU-25 Guardian. At least 3 new Cargo versions are in the package.

We will publish V2 for sure, but perhaps not before end of August. Please be patient.
Thomas
wow
A recent picture I ran across showing a Kalitta Charters Falcon 20.
Hi all
Well, this little bird made me grab the airbrush again.
This will be a Spanish Air Force (Ejercito del Aire) VIP transport, hope it will be ready for upload shortly, if somebody is interested.
Saludos
Born to Fly
Oh yes, your repaint is more than welcome.
