Amazing work!
Could you also convert AC500 Cargo w/Original Cockpit? (2-blade prop type)

I have some liveries for "AC500ca1" that I want to fly again.

Nice aircraft conversion. Flies well, looks good, has own cockpit and sounds. I've flown it on a 125nm flight from near Kennedy Space Center on FL east coast to Sarasota FL west coast, smooth flight no serious issues. Fairly good climbing power, after leaving Kennedy Space area, got to my cruising alt of 10k ft quick enough while enroute to Sarasota.

This is awesome! It even has it's own cockpit which most freeware aircraft don't have.

It's a fine little airplane but the cockpit especially shows us just how far from FSX we have moved on. - bit rough looking.
It flies ok though.

Also the thumbnail when choosing the plane is very low resolution.

The plane is cool, but I was dissapointed that the trim on my joystick doesn't appear to work with this plane. I couldn't really hand fly it as it wanted to nose down the whole time. Does the trim work some other way?

My trim works really well in the plane.
Are you having issues with it in autopilot mode only?

This is one of my favorite all time aircraft but I need the bells and whistles to work and no CTD. Because of its popularity I was thinking Carenado or Just Flight or someone would have already come out with this plane. I will follow the development on it. Thanks for being the first.!!

One of my favorites for years as well.
Used it in FSE "Flight sim economy" for a long time.

Just a comment, to let you know that it CTD for me several times. I wasn't able to get into it, even with the new 1.1 Beta. Looking forward to any new updates so I can try this again. Thanks for your hard work and time on this conversion.

Currently you must start from runway, it's in the description.

This is excellent work. Thank you for the effort. I have figured out what edits to make to the js to get the altimeter and VSI working, if interested.

Looks like a nice plane. Works on the monitor just fine. Unfortunately this plane causes MSFS 2020 to crash to desktop when you try to use it in VR (HP Reverb G2).

Try this.
enable your VR, take a fight in another plane,
end flight,
select this plane without disabling VR
start flight
see what happens..

Dude, you HAVE to let me know how do you get the cockpits to line up so nicely!
I have converted several planes from FSX to MSFS, and the cockpits look terrible, and you can not interact with them.

edit the css file(s).
next I gotta mask out the black squares so gauges will be round
