Mike's link above will give you a current status with some recent screen shots. I will update our site in two weeks or so once we have more textures completed.Current thinking is, this will be a full package release (minus sounds) with:1) a full VC/Passenger Cabin model, 2) a VC cockpit only model, and3) maybe a cargo version. Only two textures will be provided (one if no cargo version) to keep the package small. All existing liveries can be used with the new model although the base textures must be used for a starter. If you already have the current Dash 7, the sounds can be used from (or aliased to) that version.I would guess 4-6 weeks to release depending on RW interventions.DISCLAIMEROver the past 9 months, many of you have raved about the new gauge implementation technology, and rightly so. That being the case, you should know that none of the Dash 7's VC gauges are programmed into the model and none are "silky smooth". I am just being above-board here to save you some frustration.

I don't think too many people will be frustrated Milton, there are a lot of people who appreciate your work and look forward to your releases. I for one can't wait for the update :)

Barry,Good point. Since Scott recently combined all the annunciator gauges into two master gauges, there are now 463 gauge references in the panel.cfg.
