Just ignore the exhaust stacks, and the AI T-34C passes nicely for the piston version.

It's the way you ask, as has already flagged that to you. You use the word "finally", which further indicates to me impatience/frustration. You don't understand or acknowledge what's gone into producing the packages and you never say please in your requests. You just seem to want more and more without giving anything back. You can't even be bothered with a ? mark.

If you had read the posts you would have, in any case, answered your own question. All the sceneries, or the instructions for getting them are in the Poseidon packages, with the exception of Pax River which is awaiting Hartwig's completion of his manual and upload.

Since this is a hobby and people work at their own pace as work and family life allows, they are not going to commit to publication dates and rightly so.

I will concur with the honourable Mr Young. I was hoping to have my Jordanian Air Force Squirrels package out last week but due to unexpected family matters I haven't had a chance to even look at them and that's only a small package. We all do what we can when time allows. Patience is a sterling virtue squire! :-)

If they only knew how long I worked on the Edinburgh scenery to get it to look like the GE image!! Plus Edinburgh has been undergoing a major rebuild since Summer last year, so my scenery will be out of date in a few years!!

A few more previews before the imminent release:

Against my original plans I painted individual Ospreys

Image

Moved the VX-1 Seahawks to their correct location, (thanks to Joecoastie and navychief88 for their information).
They now share the ramp and hangar with the Poseidons, Orions and Hawkeyes of VX-1.
The taxiway on the left is the helo runway
Image

Against my original plans I also painted individual VX-1 Seahawks including the CAG bird
Image

Some more visiting traffic:

the NP-3D Orion AEW from VX-30 "Bloodhounds"

And here is an overview of the runways used in the updated scenery

Image

There are nine different AFCAD files in total to allow realistic operations of fixed wing, rotary wing and tilt-rotor aircraft.
An explanation of these files is included in the manual.

That is extremely complex. A wonderful job of managing it.
Oh and wonderful that you relented and did individual schemes. We thank you.

Awesome screenshots! That NP-3D Orion AEW from VX-30 Bloodhounds is a current livery? I always thought it was a retro livery.

I'm so glad you had a change of heart for the "against my original plans", the 60s/V-22s look great.
