The Viper v2 is in the works, my friends.

Since the first one only had a base model yet you will be starting the TBP campaign flying one, I decided very early to add a cockpit and exterior version to the Viper. So, while being cut off from the internet and spending time tweaking around on the Executor I also found some time to greatly further my efforts on this one. Here's a first glimpse :)

The concept idea: When regarding the development from the XT-250 Victory towards the XT-300 Piranha, design and technology evolved from lots of buttons and many separate screens to fewer buttons and large multifunctional touch-screens. Thus when reverting technological advances to the XT-100 Viper, I'd greatly increase the number of buttons, switches while making the screens smaller and fewer in number - less to see, more to press :D.

Wow. That really shows how much you're squeezing out of the XWA engine.

The elevated brightness of the controls helps to accentuate their design. Another good call GT! :D

I like how you added the light reflections of the flight stick from the LEDs on top...a small but really nice touch.
It's the tiny details that bring it up a notch!
Great Stuff GT!
