AEA Explorer 500T Update

[3point]

just pulled this one in the hangar this morning. so far added an ADF gauge and radios. and i did add a little drag. i think the airplane is too fast. will check the specs online again.

any requests let me know in this thread.

and added a quieter sound for the engine and the prop while inside the airplane. this way can hear the audio panel easier.

added co-pilot and passengers now display with no smoking and seatbelt switches on. there is a prompt added in the updated checklist. you can now move the yokes with the mouse or puck if using VR.

i made some new trim around the windshield and crew doors. also added some graphics to the interior. it does look better than before. still working on some textures to add to the interior. also made a new trinket box. made the panel top extend more to shade from the sun.

work continues on the updated/upgraded interior. i added the seats from the 750T. and put the covers on them. removed a seat. i may place cafe there. the airplane currently seats 9. retextured the boxes in the back. it's shaping up quite a bit.

Its lovely and a firm favourite of mine.
This was the first of your models I added X-Plane 12 daytime-visible 3d lights to.  :-)

thanks Kev. how do you do the lights? i will add it to the v12 planes. well unless it involves blender. LOL maybe there is a notepad or .txt editor hack?

worked on moving points today to make the doors look better.

Love that robo-shark livery.  :-)
I notice that most of your aircraft have a lights.obj and that can be edited with a plain text editor.
Can I send you mine?  It is pretty self explanatory and they look fantastic, especially if you delete the older lights in Planemaker (XP 12 only).  I have done all of your aircraft now.

yes you can send it to grader126@gmail.com
thanks

You should have it.  :-)

getting excited about getting some more lights on this ride. testing in v12 with some new small panel lights.

[3point]

making decent progress on lights for the interior. will add a few more for the pic boards. and a few for the exterior such as service lights. more pics on the preview google page: https://photos.app.goo.gl/znCPSC9gfGBtwW2S7

the small lights for the panel are independently controlled. i may even eliminate them and make back lighting for the switch labels. will see with experimenting.

[3point]

experimenting with this idea. if all goes to plan can switch from red to white. maybe i'll even add green if it works out. have to adjust the light intensity yet. have to make switches and dimmers.

now is blended. still have to add the white light. then can mix to a good shade of red.
