A big step at bringing the default aircraft into the state it actually
deserves.
Features:
- new, accurate exterior modell, modelled with original 3-views by Cessna
- textures with shadow shading
- livery changing sytem over mp
- immatriculation over mp
- glass shader with fresnel effect
- nearly complete 3d-panel
Known Bugs:
- Radio_Stack shines through the fuselage. New 3d radio_stack has yet to be done.
To-Do:
- Suction-Instrument
- Interior with much more details and painting
- Radio_stack
- doors openable
- lights
- fully animation of the gear
- failure system by Erobo

Changes made 18/12/2004
Prop spinner shortened and widened
Nose area slightly remodelled to fit silouette
Nose texture altered to place lower intake correctly
Nose wheel reduced in size.
Nose leg Oleo guide added (does not rotate - is this correct with real ac?)
Nose wheel Axle added.
Nose wheel fixed to rotate about it's shaft axis.
Windscreen / panel mesh changed so that panel no longer protrudes thru dash
Panel instruments moved to represent the geometries of the real cockpit.
Pilot / Copilot Yokes moved inboard to represent the geometries of the real cockpit.
Alpha layer added to interior texture to prevent panel showing through seats / yokes.
Interior texture duplicated and mapped to panel only to allow panel to show.
Front seats moved slightly inboard.
Landing light pair added to port wing texture.
Alpah layer added to wing texture to prevent panel showing through.
Texture remapped to Flaps (no shows ribs again).
Wing strut outer joins brought inboard to point of wing taper to match real aircraft geometries.
Wing struts thinned in front profile and thickened in side profile.
VHF aerials moved aft to their usual position.
Maingear legs altered so they now join with the fusealage (previously, 20cm gap)
Rear window altered slightly to match silouette.
Rear (white) Navigation Light made to translate with the rudder.
Not yet done: independant landing and taxi lights on port wing
activated with the mouse, but they do respond to the following
properties:
/controls/lights/taxi
/controls/lights/landing
/controls/pitot-heat
/controls/lights/navigation
/controls/lights/beacon
/controls/lights/strobes
- yokes
- carb heat
- throttle
- mixture
- flap switch
- trim wheel
Moved the pilot seat back slightly.
Use LOD more aggressively, so that all the interior detail is skipped
when the viewer is distant.
