Hello Lewis and welcome from me as well
What I meant by the "Never seen a rotating beacon do that before" was In real life not in Flight sim - In 30 plus years of being
in the aviation industry I dont think Ive ever seen rotating beacon cast a beam like a lighthouse - even Aer Turas' DC4 EI-ARS
which I worked every saturday night for two years as a Ramp rat at Luton many many years ago , and which had the SLOWEST
rotating beacon I have ever seen didnt cast a light like that - personally I find the cockpit of your model the most intriguing
as it looks like, the KC97 cockpit at Wright Patterson - down to the twine wrapping on the yolk (although sans weather radar)
Personally I like the look of it and will probably purchase it just to add another model to my Stratocruiser collection. You may heed Garrys advice a Super Guppy version would probably serve you well personally a Mini would be nice for me

And I suppose at times we here forget that there is NOT the level of aviation knowledge elsewhere as found here - so many (especially amongst the under 30 set) would obviously be scratching their .....heads over your teasers.
Thanks Again
LLeif
