Also, don’t miss the blender multi template pack from AIRPAC1

About this work
This mod respects the Game Content Usage Rules from Microsoft.
3D model has been made with blender from the export of Skyhawk G1000 Asobo’s original model.
All the external textures and animations had to be redone and match the original definitions.
A huge thanks to Jonk’s developpement series that helped a LOT.
Many thanks to EzRyder who figured it out how to use the classic cockpit, MikeFear303 for the classic cockpit xml & systems trick !
