Hi Guys

Chippy is undergoing a rebuild to FS9/FSX specs.
Screenshots from FSX with Horizon Generation X Demo (30 to 50 fps!)
not 3 to 6 fps like stock FSX :doh:

New wings.
New control surfaces with correct hinges etc.
New nose cowling.
Much more realistic spinning propeller textures. (pinched from FSX) :worried:
Reflective VC glass.perspex.
Textures in VC improved (not in shots still working).
Full clickable controls/ VC.
FSX Camera Views and thumbnails. (FSXonly).
new Tailplane & elevator.
Full 3d smooth XML gauges (not keyframed & no VC entries in panel.cfg)
Backlit gauges.
improved flight dynamics.
etc etc.
All paintjobs still fit :wink: just need _T added to texture name.

Regards
Rick (No there is not a release date and anyone asking will be shot) if wounded will be shot again :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rick, your Chipmunk is one of my favourite FS aircraft, and the prospect of an even better version is great news. Next time you're down the pub, buy yourself a pint on me. :smile:
