• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Just having some fun testing the forthcoming freeware Navion's 'paintkit...' ;)

The North American Navion was modeled by Richard S. (richie1935). I did the FSX
'magic' for him and developed the 2048x2048 master mesh layout and paintkit, as well
as develop a funtional 2d panel in both wide-screen and normal 4:3 sizes.

The freeware version will have all default FSX gauges, with the option to purchase
an "ESDG Avionics Package" for those who wish to 'pimp their ride...'

I have created a 2048x2048 texture sheet for the exterior's interior, so it's really more about creating the 3d panel and doing the final mesh mapping to make it complete.

The "ESDG Avionics Options Package" will consist of:

1. SN4550 EADI (with fast/slow indicator for jet/turbine a/c)
2. SN3308 EHSI (as shown with moving map, autoslew, multiple pointers, Rose and Arc modes)
3. Garmin 106a VOR heads (2x)
4. GNS530
5. GNS430 (2x)
6. STec55X Autopilot
7. GMA340 Audiopanel
8. GTX330 Transponder (Vatsim/IVAO ready)
9. Mid Continent 4300 Electric Attitude Indicator (with internal 60 minute rechargable battery)

The selling price has yet to be determined, but it won't be expensive... ;)

Here are some progress shots of the North American Navion showing a bit of "gauge magic."

Rather than produce two seperate interior models, and avoid the hard drive bloat, I programmed a bit of "magic" into the Eaglesoft Avionics Expansion Pack that will trigger the model to display the correct gauges in the VC if the Expansion Pack is installed. This way everything is done automatically! 8-)

I still have to add the 3d compass, and create the lightmapping for the ESDG Avionics VC version.

The freeware package will have four liveries altogether, and a choice between normal 4:3 2d Panel or 16:9 Widescreen 2d Panel.

Less than 24 hours after release to avsim.com and flightsim.com the total downloads are a whopping 1132... :D

Who knew that folks are SO hungry for any new FSX model? :eek:
