I've been inside the Super Guppy at Bruntingthrope, and I can tell you that the Guppy's cockpit is VERY similar to the one seen in Greg Pepper's KC-97 (understandably). I suppose with his permission, you could use his VC as a guideline. I for one would love to see this aircraft in the sim, especially in Airbus Skylink colours!

Also, searching on A.net, I found this picture;

I certainly would have, but in the rush to get out, I managed to forget the camera... :doh: However, when I get back to Bruntingthorpe in July, I'll take some pictures in there, regardless of whether they're needed or not :smile:. The cargo hold is really something...

Aerospacelines B-377SG "Super Guppy": The original Super Guppy, powered by T-34 turboprops. One was built, and is stored at Pima AFB.
Actually, it's stored at Davis-Monthan AFB and was on display at the Pima Air Museum next door, however AMARC (Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Center, the agency that runs the boneyard) lists the aircraft as being on "Celebrity Row" inside the gates again (this will be the 2nd time it was placed there).
I have found a photo of it at Pima, dated March 06. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1022759/M/

That's the old (non-VC) version. I was going to release it, but I found a major bug, so I am going to wait and release it all in one go.
I'll keep you all posted, and I'll put up some screenshots soon.

BTW: I tend not to use the .Tk domain name any more. When they upped the amount of advertising, I switched back to the longer http://www.freewebtown.com/gwsimulations/ . Same page, just a lot neater due to that horrible black frame at the top being removed.
