Envy.. Hmm? Maybe Google translate to the rescue.."Ich weiß nicht beneiden". Meaning I would not look forward to having to pick out the axis', rotations, textranslate and other fiddly and tedious steam gauge vintage type animations and coding creation. Plus there's a gazillion panel switches, fun hooking up those to property trees and 'pick' mouse clickable animations.

I'll let the young guys tackle it. Have at it, I salute you! :lol:

We didn't have to deal with all of that yet, right now most of it is from the b1900d. Only had to add some more properties :)
The cockpit has to be tweaked to make it fit better, which I'm doing now after that it all starts :)

You know it would be better, ( but not as expedient, I suppose..) to use the 3D items the cockpit includes and create an animation file for them. I mean you already have them, and they are specifically meant for the Beech KingAir, it would mean you have a real representation of the KingAir's interior, and would make it competitive with the efforts done on the Cessna 172P.

It would be a great learning experience about animating interior controls gauges and utilizing the property tree.

What you're proposing is just replacing the Kingair cockpit with the Beech 1900? Good luck having it look good, you'll probably have someone who actually flies one comment on it.

The beech b1900d's and kingair's cockpit are so similar that it makes no sense to make them again when its GPL.
But on the other hand you are right it looked bad at the beginning when it didnt fill in the cockpit well, but now I have done the tweaking and it fits and looks well, (just the windows to be fixed and some changes in the panel near the yoke). Then I will bring back all the gauges back to life :D

I could never find syd or yours for download....
So we made it again to get it available.

Having 3 or 4 or 5 aircrafts is better than none available. So if you can make the other variants open again, that'll be great :D

Also, if you want to help us with this version, you are a great developer, and we will be honored to have you in the team

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?
