First impressions are quite nice! There are a couple of very minor texture flickers in the long-nose that I flew, but they're in the rear of the plane and will normally never be seen. The only functional quibble I found is the pair of OBS knobs on the Nav1 and Nav2 indicators. The function in reverse, both in relation to the click-spot curved mouse pointers, and the mouse wheel. It took a couple of tries to get used to that, but I can live with it until BBS can update that. There are a couple of other things, like having a Trislander placard in the overhead instead of the Islander, but BBS is already aware of that.
Also, if you're using the PMS GNS530, make sure you have the latest from GitHub. The .to site is still on 1.0.48, while 1.0.50 is on GH. The 48 version doesn't function correctly. Reading through the notes on the .to d/l page, it appears to be the sim that broke it, and not just this plane.

Thanks for the heads-up on the update, Tom. For some reason I didn't get the usual email notification.
And thanks for the repaints, Jan Kees! And for updating the 1.0 repaint you did at my request -- super appreciated!
I got an email for 2.1.0, but not for 2.1.1 - the only way I knew about it was the fact that I've been following the 2.0 release thread over at the official forum. This link jumps to the 2.1.0 log:
https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t...sed/534197/564
As for 2.1.1, I think the changes were just minimal things inside the cockpit.

2.1.1 changelog in its entirety:
Moved ASPEN Sticker closer to panel
Added Roll Marker to AH’s
prevented door switches operating in flight
That second one is small, but it makes a big difference.

Tom, I've replaced the Trislander placard with the Islander one - just unzip it and copy it into the Texture folder (the one that's named Texture only!) of each variant: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xc3...ew?usp=sharing

Just announced earlier today, v2.1.2 will put the correct Islander placard on the upper panel to replace the Trislander placard, and replace the solid triangle heading bug on the gyro compass with something more accurate. Image taken from author's post on the official forum...
