Tjsdn,
In general it takes more than a year to develop a reasonably simple model. Even when the exterior model is completely finished the work is not even halfway. The modeling of the VC, texturing, gauges and coding will take more than the same amount of time
So stop annoying everybody here by your weekly asking whether a model is still in development.
Be patient and you will see what comes.

With apologies for going off topic how about a Command Ejection button?
Hey, guys, I'm back from Tucson. So big thanks to Andrew Boehly at Pima for letting me into the Mariner, I took a LOT of pictures in there. I also learned that the 5a has nose wheel steering and a hydraulic boost for the flight controls. I also met Bill Sproull, who flew the PBM-5 in the Korean War. So I now have a lot more reference. Sadly, this also means I've got a lot of re-modelling to do, especially in the nose and aft hull areas. I'm afraid the plan of modelling every bulkhead is impossible and might explode a lot of computers performance-wise. I started again on the interior, and if there's one thing I'm dreading it's making the chairs. This plane has some next level comfortable chairs which will be hard to make. Maybe someone can help me out with that?
We have so many skilled folks here at SOH. I'm sure a few pics of the chairs with a scale reference will be enough for somebody to help you get them right.
Here are the pictures I have of the chair, if anyone wants to help out with it:
Not sure if the armressts are that clearly visible, as they are raised in the picture.
So I've been trying to get some work done on the cockpit, but the results so far aren't exactly promising...Does anyone have any advice for cockpit making? Cause it just feels like i can't use a lot of the reference I have properly.
Been a while since I last posted, huh? Sorry about that, "procrastination" is kinda my middle name. I have done a lot of work over the last two (Or three?) months, including completely remodeling the cockpit window frames, some fixes on the landing gear, minor changes to the flaps, engines and stabilizers (Including re-making the Shannon Vortex-Airfoil). Also did some interior work. Still haven't made the chairs, if anyone wants to help with that.
Currently working on remodeling the flaps and running into all kinds of problems. Does anyone here have Virtavia's SP-5B Marlin? It uses the same flap design, and I really could use some screenshots for reference for the flap actuators and pulleys.
Great stuff, Maty. Maybe you have that already, but let me point out a few links.
There's a flight manual here:

Anyone know what happened with this ?
Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Maty has been really tied down with college studies. He last checked in last September.
He said he had completed the 3D model (unsure about the cockpit/VC) and was looking for someone to pass it on to for texturing and getting it in the sim.
It was modeled using Blender so I could not help there. Said he would look around FSDeveloper to see if anyone was interested in completing the project. That's the last I heard.
Thanks Milton for the helpful. Update. Maty's college studies come first.
