    Very cool! After seeing many shots of the default Goose HD conversion in Orbx Pago Pago I was thinking of this plane too!

    I just got the impression Aussieman thought I was posting it for Larry :P he's slaving away in the cockpit at the moment and Paul is helping out on gear animations, I've been busting my butt on these exterior textures to get it finished so I can move to the vc

    Now to work on the non metal one... (needs another coat of white I think, panel lines a bit dark :S

    The work is stunning. This will be another wonderful addition to the FSX native set. Kudos!

    LOL

    of course that is probably as close as I could have gotten to the internet too.

    The code was done Dec 28, 2014 and uploaded to drop box. I was waiting on Larry to get freed from his house guests to go over the modeldef.xml changes.

    Looks like it is time to go back to work now.

    Now what is that code supposed to do?

    I have been trialing Milton's G-73 FS9 model in FSX and as a serial porter-over of all things FS9 into FSX have only just appreciated the difference you can tell between both models in these screenies - must be the shadowing and bump mapping etc. Never really paid that much attention to this before. Looks terrific!
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

    Working on the fuel gauge code and animations...

    I did not have the actual source files to edit the code and test so Larry told me to improvise

    so I did.

    Close enough.

    Add a wooden shoe, and a pair of wings - done.

    Just a quick comment to say "very stoked" about this. Big fan of the Grumman amphibs. This will be a sweet project once done.

    Don't worry, the pilots are always the last thing to be added.

    I have to finish re-building the VC before they can fly it.

    I'm really excited about this project. Should be great!

    I know it's early on, but if there's any appetite for repaint ideas, I'm thinking the Mallard would be great for some short airline runs in the 1950s from Miami to Havana (pre Castro), Key West, etc.

    Imagine this concept ....

    Oh, dear me, no! A classic aircraft deserves a classic paint job, and you can't find a better classic than "Hello, Kitty"!
