Development status/Issues/Todo
Outside:
- textures/ mapping needs some correction
3D cockpit:
- cockpit is textured but textures need more polish
- no pilot or co pilot present
- the light switch labels are hard to read.
General:
- It is routine to observe 135 Kias at 2850 RPM in level flight at 1000 MSL, using only 13 gph. This is not the sort of performance seen in real-life Skyhawks.
- What is the expected performance according to your estimation?
