I've been fortunate enough to be asked to help beta test the upcoming Blackbox Simulations Shorts pack. The pack will contain the 330, 360 (pax and freight versions) and all versions of the Sherpa! The sheds have a very close place in my heart having grown up watching them fly from Sydenham from my bedroom window.

Anyway, the focus at the moment has been on the 330, so here are some images of the 330 demonstrator which I've been using for testing. The sharp eyed among you may also notice GAIST Real Time shipping in the background which I've also been testing for Henrik and Kai.

And here is the real machine, thanks to the Ulster Aviation Society last week. They have a fantastic collection of aircraft and information, an absolute must see if you are in NI.

Hi Dale, the cockpit is (i think) mostly done, but still a work in progress at this point. Once its a bit further along I’ll see about getting some shots up.
I’ve no idea on release date, so I really wouldn’t like to say. The exterior models are all done and look great, but they may well be tweaked.

Excellent news! Can't wait to get to fly these in the sim. I'm really looking forward to having another good cargo hauler in the sim to putt around in.

Some more shots from the past few days. Who can spot Blackpool? Also you'll see Herick GAIST Real Time shipping including sailing yachts which lower their sails when they are stationary! There is so much talent out there. Click on the image to view full size. :cpu:
