Hello all, I have finished the first Viscount model that can be used as a HQ AI aircraft. It is the -700 series of Rick Piper's excellent Vickers Viscount. With his approval to modify the aircraft I have added a rear passenger door, airstairs and a small interior section. Also the nose wheel swivels during taxiing and the flaps extend into take off position while turning onto the runway. And with Tom's approval I used the existing CalClassic Viscount models as LOD additions to the HQ aircraft. All existing repaint files for Rick's Viscount can be used together with 4 extra bitmaps for interior, seats, airstairs and inside area passenger door. NOTE: It is necessary however to change the bitmap names with a simple alteration. For the daytime bitmaps you must add "_t" to the name. Example: Fuse1.bmp will become Fuse1_t.bmp / Wing-L.bmp will become Wing-L_t.bmp (the mentioned 4 extra bitmaps do not need the "_t" addition) The night textures can remain as is. (they should have "_LM" in the name) Consider it a Beta version because there are still a few minor things that need a bit of tweaking, for instance the night lighting. I am not satisfied with that yet and still working on it. But if you already want to try out the HQ Viscount you can download it here: HQ AI Viscount - BetaA big thank you goes to Rick Piper and Tom Gibson for the approval to modify their original FS models. Hope you like the AI Viscount so far. Cheers, Jaap

Hi, I added Air France textures to Jaap's AI Viscount 700 - it looks fine. The textures of inside door (still UAL) and seats should be adapted. Others like Lufthansa or KLM need model 800. Cheers, Bernard
