This aircraft is definitive ugly. Are there bedrooms in the upper part of the very high cabin?

Itā€™s so ugly - I love it.

Me on a short little jaunt around Oā€™ahu. The sounds are fun. I canā€™t wait until I can show you all some of the really cool interior stuff!

Thatā€™s the model I had commissioned (#72, same as in MSFS). Those were the approval shots. Iā€™m eagerly awaiting its arrival! Yes, I am a giant nerd about the Shorts Skyvan, 330, 360, and even the mythical (450?) that only models exist of I believe.

I hope the base and the metal clip holding the plane up will be correctly modeled in MSFS.

LOL! Ok, so maybe I forgot to bind the gear action to my gear lever on the Honeycomb Bravo. I shall scribble it (in crayon) on my list. :wink:

  1. I love your nickname.
  2. Yes. More Yes. YES! :slight_smile: I am sooooooo happy that Graham / BlackBox decided to model my little lovely. I am such a huge nerd for this airplane. Even though weā€™re still in (early) development, it makes me smile every time I drop into the sim with it.

Thatā€™s where the crew lounge is. :laughing:
Actually the fuel tanks are in the roof, just aft of the flight deck.

This makes us friends. :slight_smile:

(edit) Apparently for a turboprop sheā€™s got a fun startup process. Right now Iā€™m testing in the land of CTRL+E, but itā€™s fun just to listen to the sounds of the PT-6s. When you go from starter to introducing the fuel, thereā€™s a ā€œwhuumpā€ noise that is pretty cool!

Interesting plane. I am more familiar with the SC-7 SKYVAN which is the most popular plane out of the rest.

The -330 and -360 are the sons of the SC.7 :slight_smile:
