Cheers for the info Lewis
One problem with lights are in the type of card as well.
On some I get landing lights showing cones like the dambusters.
I know of other with similar cards that get the same....most don't get that at all so it is always going to be a bit of a hit and miss area.
Are you going to do the Guppy 201?

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

Hey chaps,
thanks for the feedback, the work is still ongoing and I think you will be pleased once we can get this thing out and about.
Gary not sure about that but to be honest theres not much chance due to the 3d model work and instrument stuff FM etc.
