The Goose Flies Again

The legendary Pam “warchild” Booker and I are getting pretty close to a release on the OzX Goose Redux HD for MSFS (phew what a mouthful), though we might need to change the working title. Pam remains the only active member of the OzX team who updated the original FSX Goose and we’ve spent a lot of time with this beauty making her even better for MSFS by replacing all of the old 2D XML Instruments with 3D Gauges, upscaling all of the textures to 4K using AI Upscaling and creating PBR textures for all of the liveries as well.

We should have this out (preliminary release) for everyone by Christmas with final updates finished early in the New Year. The development board can be seen here: Grumman Goose for MSFS

We stand on the sholders of Giants and the beauty of this bird is a testament to the original developers and then the OzX Team who took her to the next level.

I should say also that this is a FULL native conversion and not a port-over.

Because they look like this on my end. I don’t have issues viewing screenshots in other threads.

Not sure man. Doesn’t look like other folks have any issue. I’ll try do something later with them to see if that helps you.

That’s interesting. I looked around the Settings and didn’t see anything that would make sense.

The bestest christmas present ever, This was a great emulation of the goose which gave me a lot of fun. I really look forward to it here…there are lots of places to use and abuse it.

Looking forward to this plane. Any thoughts to the later varient, UF-1G/2G with Coast Guard livery?

Perhaps silly but is there any plan to include an interior passenger section like someone did for the Grumman Mallard for FSX?
