You take it easy.. and have a nice day
Hi Jan,
I would definitely prefer panel #1 as it looks much clearer. Panel #2 is a bit overloaded with these gauge bezels. I'm not a DC-3 expert but #1 looks more like a DC-3 to me while #2 looks like a C-47
However, great work!

I like panel 2
Both are great but I would personally prefer #1.
Why?...Because the dead fly in #2 indicates a sloppy crew chief.
I think the bigger difference between the two would be gauge lighting technique. Panel 1 would use floodlights and UV lights to make radium markings on the gauges glow. Panel 2 uses eyebrows that would contain incandescent light bulbs to illuminate the gauges. Basically, you have two different eras. Panel 1 is definitely 1930's-40's, while panel 2 would be more appropriate for post-war uses.

Hello Jan,
I'll go with panel number 2.
Gorgeous work

I'd prefer the upper panel, since the gauge eyebrows look too repeated. Beautiful work!!
Hey Jan, I would make a bet that either way you go will be a winner!

Both incredible, but I will vote for No.1

Hi Jan,
I vote for panel #2.
Great work!!!

Darnit! Decisions, decisions....
Most of the supposedly unmolested C-47 interior shots, that I've found, show the eyebrows with direct gauge lighting.
Seeing as I'm flying mostly C-47/R4D military variations #2 gets my vote.
Won't really matter to me though, Jan. Both are gorgeous. ...Don

I like #1, it looks less cluttered.

I cast my vote for number 2 please.
Ok! Thanks, guys, that's what i wanted to hear.
Bit of both then, éh ? The MAAM R4D has these individual gauge light boxes too and i kinda grew fond of them. (can you grow fond of simple small thing like a gauge lighting box ??.... Yes, i can !!... ) IIRC they didn't actually work in the VC of the R4D model but we could possibly make them work here. Could be added just to a specific C-47 model and left out of a DC-3 model or make it an option all together. Re the repetition, good point. It was just by impulse that i added them (stumbled over a photo of a C-47 cockpit that has them) so it was all done in the spur of a moment. I may have been a bit too enthousiastic about the sharpness of the texture. Point taken !
Btw, if you happen to fly the Connie with the panel Hansi and i put together a couple years ago you can see i'm really serious about liking those light boxes... ( i got into a dispute with a no longer existing commercial dev who used our freeware Connie gauge images in various commercial packages. Proves i'm not the only one liking those light boxes... )
Just wanted to know your stance towards those light boxes. I do like them but i'll make it an option one way or another. I'll also make sure they don't look that repetitive anymore.
Thanks much again, guys !
Chhers,
Jan
I'll go for no.2, but please vary the textures a bit. Looks to repetitive otherwise.
Hey Jan,
no, nothing cooking in Gmax anymore. DC2 sales are still going strong though, can't complain on that. Avoidrome is still happy ;-)
I'm only working on my Citroen 2CV. Installed an Electronic Ignition system. Purrs like a kitten.
Tomorrow I can go on the road again, I decided to keep her indoors during winter, and do some maintenance.
Regarding the panel, I like the lightboxes, especially if you can get them to work as intended!
Great work so far! Fantastic. Might really be a reason to start-up FSX again, when it's ready.

Hoi Rob,
Good to hear the DC-2 still going strong ! ( btw, how's Alex ?...) And congrats with your 2CV ! ( don't wanna upset you but if it purrs like a kitten there's something wrong, mate..... IIRC it should quack like a duck! ) Pity no more Gmax work, Rob... I'm actually soooo happy to be back. Maybe you need a sabbatical too, right ? Worked for me! (although not intentional )
Groeten,
Jan
Sorry to arrive this late, but personally I prefer the upper one. I think its easier for the eyes as the lower one just contains too much details.
Cheers,
Huub
Also arriving late, I would prefer the first image. It give me complete detail without the repetition of the gauge edges. Just plain looks better to me. Both are a work of are. Definitely will go with the flow. Wonderful to see the continued work. Thanks

Count me as late also ... #1 for me.
I'll take number 2. I like the old look, for some reason it just looks older to me.
