I actually have the FS2004 version but it was stopped it looks like midstream. It has just few basic animations and the texture is not too great. I am also wondering about the size of the aircraft. I think its alittle big but I could be wrong there. Basically I think it could be better.
As for Chronocidal's project I have messaged him and have gotten no response. I had at one point a guy that was Majoring in 3D modeling working on it with his teacher (who is a huge Macross fan I take it) but unfortunately he got busy and doesn't have time to do it. I found this site and saw all the 3D models and was hoping someone here would be able to help out.
