I would agree if it weren't for what Asobo/Micosoft have brought us with their early aviation renditions long gone.  Pilot's has produced the B314 for years plus we have pictures and a museum model to go on.  No more than what Asobo has had as reference for their birds.  Adding to that, Pilots has had a 10+ year head start with B314 they've produced in various versions of FS (I know, I've bought most of them).  A higher standard is in order.  It would be like PMDG producing the 737 series not that much different than the FSX version they produced many years ago.  PMDG pressed forward with what they could do with the new technologies afforded them in MSFS.  The same can be said for developers like FlyingIron and Milviz. Long standing developers like Pilots should be no different especially for something so small as cockpit window frames and a more realized cabin? 🙃  

That is the kind of discussion I´d like to see, not focussing on tastes and textures for a relatively unseen interior. THANK YOU!

Asobo did a decent job, true, but then their Spruce Goose for instance is a much simpler model than our Clipper in question here.....
Hard to compare...

But one thing is sure, the Clipper NEEDS more love and attention and it will become a more than acceptable addon over time; I am pretty sure of that

I have been preoccupied and mesmerized by my An-2, but in fairness... Pilot's is indeed listening to customer feedback and have released another update- V1.15a

1.15a- the next patch

This brings it up to V 1.15 and it contains the follwing changes and improvements:

All models
Animated and functional external exits added to all models. These can be controlled via the intercom panel to the left of the VC Engineer Panel.

Animated and functional VC wing access doors added to all models.

Seaports seperated into individual BGLs to facilitate user customization.

Exterior textures now show more surface detail.

New leather and metal frame textures on VC chairs.

B-314 Manifold Pressure Gauge on Engineer Panel set to incorrect scale - Fixed.
B-314 Engine RPM Gauge Needles on Cockpit Panel were swapped - Fixed.

B-314A Engine RPM Gauge Needles on Cockpit Panel had incorrect scale - Fixed.
B-314A Engine RPM Gauge Needles on Cockpit Panel were swapped - Fixed.
B-314A Hobbs Meter on Engineer Panel had INOP hour digits - Fixed.
B-314A Manifold Pressure Gauge on Engineer Panel set to incorrect scale - Fixed.
B-314A Flaps adjusted to have the same extension levels as the B-314.

Know Issues
The Fuel Tank Selection Dials all show a visible OFF at startup, even when the engines are running. The LVars for the dials are set correctly, their position is not passed on correctly from the FLT LVar section to the visible model. This is being discussed with Asobo.

The Mooring Light Switch, which activates a mooring of the aicraft with position hold and the mooring lines appearing, is not functional upon a Cold & Dark startup. This is due to the same LVar issue as described above.

 

PLEASE- KEEP THE COMMENTS COMING- She's too important to languish...

Thank you for putting this comment into this thread, as it underlines the readiness of Pilot´s to listen and deliver.

That is a good sign and I am sure they will continue in that direction and honor even some of the unjustified or exaggerated criticism often based on just a quick and sloppy review rather than own experience.

That extraordinary historic plane deserves all attention and caring love we and the developers can give it! 💖

Amen.  Very glad to see the continued work... I haven't tried this version yet, but still had an autopilot pitch-up on version 1.10 that gained about 400ft before leveling off, but seemed stable after that.  I'm looking forward to making the Midway - Wake Island leg with her using only DR and celestial nav.  Will have to work a landfall into that as well!

I'm following this development with great interest. Keep going, PILOTS.
