Im interested to see a pic of it ,abacus is sometime good stuff and sometimes not so good ,so some more Vc shots and some outside views with your repaint ,and what you think of the model would very much be of interest to me and others around here ..

Here are some shots of the new repaint, and also a 'KAHU' cockpit I'm working on using the bitmap from the X-plane A-4M as a base.

I might be.. What simulator is it for?
You have done a nice repaint by the way
What are the flight characteristics like? Is it a good model?

Cheers

Sorry does this model have a VC or just a 2d panel ,im only a VC flyer ,knowing abacus it will do and depending on who modelled it ,it could be a flop or a really good aircraft ,
The Abacus chopper havoc is still one of my all time favorite with great modelling and fire effects , but it would only be one of alot that i can think of that would be any good from abacus ,the ship addons arent bad ..
cheers anyway mate thanks for show us and what youve been upto

Theres a free 7 day trial version at the abacus website, part of their premier collection, i think it is really cool, the best abacus plane I've ever flown to be honest.
It does have a VC, its completely average, it just uses the CONCORDE gauge. For some reason the HUD case is bright yellow, and the main 3D panel is transparent. it works in FSX and FS9, Thats the FS9 model in FSX because it has a better model of the cockpit. (i don't know why...) The front window frame is slightly 'Blockier than the FS9 model, and the FS9 model has Sparrow missiles, but the FSX version has just a bomb load. The FS9 gauges work fine in FSX. Long word said short, the FS9 model is better.

They are my favourite plane in FLT sim, They're real fun to fly.....
