Nice retro scheme.
I've never been much of an inside guy on the sims, but some of these cabins are really well done.

Nice selection of pics SP. I'm not sure of that BA livery. I'm not entirely sure that it suits the A320....something about the nose area and the stark colour contrast too. The modelling is certainly very impressive, but interior modelling is not my thing. The same goes for terminal interiors. Just a big waste of FPS and VRAM. Some are modelled to the extreme. What would be great is to be able to have the interiors as a selectable option.

Thanks for looking CP.
Like you, I've never seen the point of a fully modelled terminal interior...clever as they are.
Regarding the cabins, also very clever, if a little difficult to navigate some time. Fenix do give you the option to turn the cabin off.
I see what you mean about the paint job, maybe if the red line started under the Captains shoulder window and level with the same, it may break it up a bit.....maybe....but I like it.

Thanks again for looking, bit slow around here at the moment.

I agree with CP, it is superb digital modelling, but as someone who once made a 4mm scale steam loco tender with all its underparts and innards, I can't criticise those who do it - it was called 'super-detailing' in them days.
In my old FSX or possibly the FS9.1 Classic, I had a BN-2 which came with some pax which you could load as you chose. Mark Beaumont built on the idea and produced a repaint of ( I think) a Ugandan operator, which included the couple below.

:lol: I had a lot of fun with it, around the Hebrides. It was that model which had an infuriating alarm if you opened the door without switching the mags off. It was quite a while later that a RL pilot explained it was a safety thing, after a clumsy passenger stumbled going down the steps, grabbed the prop blade for support, and the engine fired up :o

That’s taking sheepskin covers to the extreme.

I am always happy that there is always room for jokes in the “serious flight simulation” and I am amused by the sheep...
This kind of garnish would definitely lead to trouble in the forums. I've been on your forum since 2007 and enjoy the fact that you have room for such humorous interludes.
