Has anyone been in contact with Mike Stone or gotten an impression of his feelings about
porting over his aircraft to FSX..?
I've not had any luck in contacting him and am interested in his Jetstar II.

Speaking of JetStars, I wonder if someone else here with the skillset could take over finishing the model Jim Goldman very kindly offered up to the community a few years back?

Seahawk,
Mike has long since departed the FS scene, I'm not sure if he is even contactable these days.
Rather like 'Piglet'.

Appears to be P3Dv4 with PBR. From the thread below.

I used to be in regular contact with Mike back in the day. His models sometimes have weird shading from what I think are stray polygons. Kinda ruins the models for me. In FS2002/04 they were not very prominent but show up quite badly in FSX/P3D. I've run a few through MCX and the shading issue gets worse.

Too bac because back in the day I flew the wings off his Jetstar, Lear 35 and Sabreliner.

I'll have to take a closer look for the shading issue.
Something else I saw after using MCX was that the front wheels are out of alignment (wobbling back and forth)
was this something you might have seen as well..?

If my memory is right, Tom Clayton (admin here) was watching over them for awhile.
I think they were hosted by Garry Smith (https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?15581-Garry-J-Smith-Interview) also.
But I'm not sure if that is the case anymore.

You might reach out to Tom.
