FS2004/FSX Glossy Vintage Sportscars Mercedes. FSX, Acceleration and FS2004 glossy reworked vintage sports cars with Sean Connery's 007 Aston Martin DB5 and Mercedes Benz 300 SL "Gullwing" and Convertible. These models replace my versions from 2016. In the meantime I got the trick to work with Alpha channeling and now my cars have shiny textures. (Note for P3D users: my models work also in Prepar3D v3 but not in v4, and the Alpha channeled shiny textures seemes not to be functionary in P3D!) Both Mercedes models now have an improved quality and both models show more differences; the Gullwing is in the style of 1955, the convertable from 1957. The Mercedes sport cars are based on the "Silver Arrow" racing car the "Gullwing", later also available as a convertible version. They were built between 1954 and 1963. Equipped with a 3 liter 210 hp engine it was and it is one of the most famous cars ever. The Gullwing doors or the convertable roof are animated and also the two ladies in the style of the 1950's. The third version is the roadster racing together with the "Gullwing". Sean Connery's James Bond 007 DB5 is the worldwide best known movie car ever with all its special gadgets, known from the movies from the 1960's like "Fireball" or "Goldfinger" but also from "Golden Eye" and "Skyfall" and other movies. The sim model has many, many animated gadgets, including the ejection seat so can you watch the ejection of the talkative lady. All sim models provides 2D panels and detailed VC with realistic gauges, great sounds and excellent handling. Cameras let you explore the cars inside and outside and let you see the engine. FDE tuning made by Knud Kristofferson. Most gauges and effects are made by J.P. Carosin. FSDS 3.5 model with panel and sound by Erwin Welker.
