Looking for a Lockheed L-10 "Electra"

Just DL'd it today. The viewpoints do not bother me. I always adjust my seat before flying. Some of the interior textures are of low quality. However, you do get quite a few variants. And I feel it is worth every penny of the $14.99 Canadian. I have to check out all the variations and see what he used for the G1000 models. I can post some screnies later and offer some more info if anyone is interested.

Just a word of caution, the VC on the Simaddon's Electra is only a very slightly modified version of the default FSX DC-3 VC.

Yes I see Bomber, I could be happy with that blurried textures but the external visual from the cockpit is so wrong! At Dandog: even if you adjust very well your seat, into this cockpit you can't obtain any right view because in a L10-E the engines are clearly visible around and before you! I wonder if Simaddons could be so collaborative to update this plane with a right model for the VC.
I appreciate their effort on this beautiful plane, the rain effects, new gauges, multiple versions, the Hhowland isle, low price and so on. But I hope they improve that detail in future.

This morning I received an email by Ralph, of Simaddons, the developer of our Electra, and there is an update in attachment! And he said that is going to work to an upgrade cause the EL-10 was an old production! I'm very happy about this unique customer support. I've not yet tried his update, but I'l tell you very soon about that.

Update claims to give proper wing views. Ralph also mentioned he would update the VC. I emailed him because the landing lights would not show externally and the drift meter did not function properly. Pretty cool that he just sent the SP1 like that.

Yes, the wing views are/were? wrong. Did not get much time to soak it all in. My daughters birthday was on the 3rd, then 4th celebration, and now, off to Knott's Berry Farm with the kids for the day. Will check it out later, I hope!
