What’s Included?

• A comprehensive and fresh take on the exterior of the aircraft helps to make it looks as fantastic as possible. With a really detailed attempt at capturing the right kind of material shine and reflection, you’re left with a deeply authentic take on what is a brilliant aircraft.

• Also, the interior carries on the same traditions and qualities. This ensures you are left with an inside that is easy to get used to and most certainly ensures you are left with something different. Takes away from the generic nature many are so used with aircraft interior designs and replaces it with something fresh and fun.

• Volumetric side view prop effect is being used, as well. These side views are very useful for surveying the aircraft in a different, new way and ensuring that it looks exactly as it should whilst giving you an easy way to enjoy a different take on the aircraft.

• Uses dynamic propeller shine effects to give you something different, something unique. Also helps you spot all of the little things that can be included into an aircraft design, all to help make sure it carries off the right look and feel that was intended in the first place.

• High quality 3D textures and model management means you are left with the closest take to the real thing that you are likely to get at this moment in time. Helps to sell and promote the best image possible of the aircraft, selling its unique image with aplomb.

• Fancy yourself as a bit of a designer? Then you can get into the blank texture included here and make your own livery! Now you can be flying the flag of your own business right down to flying a branded version of your favorite football team or even your favorite alcohol company! The choice is yours entirely.
