Hi Chris, Here are some shots. Some might not appear so spectacular at first glance. This one clearly shows the problem with the 747 panel. I took this shot a few weeks ago. It was very difficult to get the camera in this position, but I really wanted to see what was going on :-). The knobs and switches are supposed to be cylindrical. The small parts that look ok took some messing around with to get that way: http://www.spiderbark.com/fgfs/vtolb4fix.png You can just about see that the knobs have tops now. And the switches look like what they are supposed to be in the 747: http://www.spiderbark.com/fgfs/vtolfix2.png David's 3D controls are now all shaped they way they should be: http://www.spiderbark.com/fgfs/vtolfix1.png With the p51d the top of the stick always looked weird. The trim knobs were ok but a little off and there were lots of distortions in the engine controller. Those parts all look a lot smoother now: http://www.spiderbark.com/fgfs/vtolfix3.png It might not actually be that spectacularly different, but the folks that have been working on the models will see right away. Mostly the patch is going to save time building the models. Maybe someone who hasn't patched could post a before shot? The p51d probably has the most noticable changes.
