Figured this was the perfect shot, since i'll be packaging it up tomorrow. 😉
In house testing, then she'll be in your hands!

 

Beauty!  Is that at the infield cargo ramp at MSP?

A little bit of PBR love. Made a gold/white/black livery, and created the gold flaked with the metallic maps.
It does not disappoint.

 

Stunning.  I suppose we're still stuck with LM's poor anti aliasing for PBR'd aircraft?  You have to zoom in or take large 4k shots cropped down to get rid of the jaggies....grrr.

OK that's it...I'm buying this aircraft.

More than likely. New features aren't LM's strengths in their first versions. I'm sure it will improve with the next version of Prepared. At least we can hope.

All, while we're wrapping up, i've created a personal website which is linked in my Signature.

Please feel free to visit, it's a work in progress.

Stay tuned!

How's it going on this update?  The work you've done on this beauty is fantastic.  I can't wait to get my hands on the update.

It's coming along. We're all fixing issues and adding features, etc, etc. Should be done soon.

[Wickedbacon92 453]

Hey everyone!

We're making our way through the update, i'm finishing up some blemishes, and adding some new things, just about done.
Joe's fine tuning all the new sound features, they're absolutely incredible and immersive!
Some fine tunes being done to the flight dynamics, as well as some adjustments to instrumentation, etc, etc.

I'm really hopeful the update will soon be in your hands!

but to hold you all over, here are some shots of her in P3D v4.4 with full PBR and Dynamic Lighting.

Also, for those of you who are asking about a donation link, I have added a donate page on my personal website, the link is in my signature.
Donations are by no means required, as I highly enjoy doing this for all of us whom enjoy these aircraft, but they are absolutely appreciated, and will go towards the cost of my texturing software, and motivate me to "spruce up" more of FSW's older products! 😋

Just wanted to throw this out there too, i've had a few people ask me why I don't charge for this stuff.
The short story is, I do, for other developers, or collaborations between developers and myself (soon to come for X-Plane.)
My work will always be free for Flysimware. I help where I can in my area of expertise to products(or freeware alike) that are truly deserving of having the best of all worlds!

So without further ado, here's some screens!










Welcome to your new flight deck, Captains!





And when you're ready for that nap, take a step back into this comfortable cabin, recently re-upholstered! 




Oh, and we can't forget about our freight dogs out there (cough cough @scottb613 ) 😉




(I even bumped with window bezels! After all, the LR35 freighters are converted from the normal LR35, and the patched windows are clearly visibly "aftermarket" looking, if you know what I mean!)

I hope you all enjoy these shots, and are excited to have this freshly revamped aircraft in your hangars!

Tail winds and blue skies my friends!

Hi WB,

Wow - it looks absolutely superb - what a fine effort - and - gracias amigo - much obliged - for the consideration... Not too shabby for a three year old product - it will breath a whole new life into it... I think it exceeds the look of the other brands Lear models...

For the painters - so PBR is an additional texture to the bump map ? Do you think it would need to be modified for new paints or could we get away with just adding our paint schemes to the new white base (normal map) ? Sorry - PBR is new to me although I do realize it's a material effect...

Regards,
Scott

I know exactly what you mean and that is a nice detail!

That it does!

Metallic maps can be used per livery, but most liveries won't need them. The default will be more than sufficient for most liveries.
Now, if it's a chrome livery, or has metallic flaked paint, then yes you can use the metallic map to get the desired effect. It's not hard to work with, and i'd gladly show you how it's done over discord if you need the assistance!

I don’t currently own this aircraft but based upon the work of WB and members of the FSW team on this update I will be buying the Lear 35A.  And donating to WB.  Really nice effort!! Thanks for all the hard work!

Unbelievable...almost impossible to differentiate from a real 35A!

WB, you are a texture master.

Kind Regards,

[scottb613 1,188]

Hi WB,

LOL - you've got us...

Seriously - WOW... Yeah - the MU-2 panel graphics were a bit behind the Lear - hopefully a little TLC will bring it up to the extremely high standard that has now been set for FSW (might need a bit of model work)...

Between "A2A" for my SEL aircraft and "FSW" for my faster stuff - I'm pretty much set...

As always - thank you...

Regards,

Scott
