Some of the larger corp. jets have doors, some of the smaller Citations have curtains, our Premier1 has doors....as you can see there is great variety:-) The CII's I've seen have a track for curtains but no curtains:-)We elected to leave them out on our CII for that reason:-)Remember, poly count and animations cost frame rates:-)

Just a brief THANK YOU to all you folks that are working on this project. The carry over from FS2002 that I am useing for my Gulfstream V is still one of my favorites, and I am not even sure where I got everything for it. One of those evolution things over a period of time I guess.Anxiously awaiting the results of your kind and relentless efforts. One more example of the best representation of this hobby.Most grateful and best of luck with your efforts!RTH

Thanks so much for the support RTH,We all have our fingers crossed over here for Rick Sasala to do a few cosmetic updates and then we'll be on the home stretch. If he doesn't help us out it's going to take a little longer to get this update out to you guys because somebody's going to have to learn GMAX. Like I said fingers are crossed. The FDE still needs a little work, I'm giving some of the others a chance to throw in their ideas instead of doing it all myself. With luck and a little extra help we'll have this out to everyone in a couple of weeks (don't hold me to it though)...

Dillon,I have heard GMax is very hard to learn. Rick Salasa said he is doing a new model for FS2004."Unfortunately the tutorial for doing correct lighting wasn't available when I did this model. But it will be incorporated into the new model I'm doing..."Why not just use the new FDE you made from Mike Stone's Gulf V on this FS2002 version for now and wait until Rick is finished with the new model and see what the new model is like? Probably save you a lot of headache unless you just want to learn GMax.Btw, unless I am mistaken, GMax is free and comes on one of the FS2004 CD's. I think there is a newer version of it available, or at least updates for it. However, 3DS Max (3D Studio Max I think) which is what GMax is based off of, is very expensive. You could consider GMax as '3DS Max lite'. Please, someone correct if I'm wrong about any of that. Houdini and Maya are even more expensive!Regards,Jim

Because Rick is only doing a Military version. So if anyone wants the passenger version we'll have to be the one's to do it. I'm also trying to get other updates done to this bird besides just the FDE. I think I've just about nailed that department. There's a few cosmetic issues that need addressing.To all GMAX designers we could really use your help right about now... If no one knows GMAX we could be dead in the water... :-hang

I can get pictures if needed, I walk underneath 2 or 3 C-20G's everyday at work. Only difference exterior changes to exterior IIRC is C-20 has extra escape hatches by the engines and the large cabin cargo door on the starboard side...

Thanks Jeff, if you got some cool repaints for the Gulfstream send them to Tom van der Elst. He's doing repaints for us... :-) Tom's at '[email protected]'Thanks for your support, it's appreciated...

Actually, all of the G-IVs I've been in have a door, but it's aft of the main door, and separates the pax compartment from the crew area. As you enter the acft, the flight deck is open.Is someone doing a panel with the Honeywell SPZ-8400 avionics suite used in the G-IV? All of the panels I've seen so far are just generic EFIS-type displays with a generic MCP, and lack the avionics integration present in the G-IV and G-V.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Washington, DC

Bob why don't you get in contact with Eaglesoft so they can do justice to this bird??? From what it sounds like, you have the access to these birds that developers need to design the bird correctly in Flight Simulator... All we're trying to do here is get a decent flyable Gulfstream until Eaglesoft can get a professional one done. None of us are gauge programmers nor are any of us GMAX designers... That's why I'm petitioning some help from someone who knows GMAX so we can iron out some minor visual issues here and there. Other than that we'll have to settle for just an FDE update and some minor gauge updates I've been able to do myself. It sounds like your the man all of us have been waiting for with the right connections. Contact Eaglesoft so we can get this bird done right once and for all... Ooh Yea, tell them I sent you... :-)

GMAX designers wanted/needed/desired/whatever etc... :-zhelp :-newbie Thanks...
