- I painted new textures for the cockpit, with a new "GLASS.tga" to complement all of them. The gauges & needles were made as close as possible to the real instruments.
- Releasing two versions: One in 1024x1024(JPG & TGA) and other in 2048x2048(JPG & TGA).
- I set the 1024x1024(JPG & TGA) as standard for the planes.
*OBS: If you are running a low-end computer I do not recommend the use of 2048x2048 cockpit textures.
