2025-03-10 - MD500 Update - Moving along on the 500. The paint wizard has been updated to handle the PBR paints that the 500 will use (with traditional materials fallback). In addition lot of small items have been completed including making more of the breakers functional, the dust effects, various mesh and texture errors and more.

2025-02-04 - MD500 Progress - Well it seems I have not made an update here in a long time, so thought I would make one with an update on the MD500. The mesh is essentially complete, the flight scripting is complete other than fine tuning, and a fair amount of the systems script is working including the transponder and the gps other than approaches. Still a fair amount to work on including weather effects and system failures, but we are moving a along. Fly safe, everyone!
