Important:
Please do not use the panel.cfg after updating to SU10 until I have updated it, otherwise the Garmin instruments and the weather radar will all be switched off without being able to switch them on and use them. Please do not use this mod until I have updated it for the new SU10 sim update. In this mod you can use the Cessna Skymaster 337 textures only until I have updated the panel.cfg and the weather radar :)

Greetings pilots,
the Carenado Skymaster is one of the most beautyful planes. But every good rivet counter with healthy sense for perfection will notice some visual flaws in the cockpit - like for example misaligned engine gauges, wrong on off labels on the cockpit light switch under the glareshield and some other details. Here is the fix to calm down the OCD of every good aviation nitpicker!
Please make a backup of the following folders:
F:\Flight Simulator 2020\Official\OneStore\carenado-aircraft-c337-skymaster\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado_C337_Skymaster\texture.02
F:\Flight Simulator 2020\Official\OneStore\carenado-aircraft-c337-skymaster\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado_C337_Skymaster\texture.05
F:\Flight Simulator 2020\Official\OneStore\carenado-aircraft-c337-skymaster\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado_C337_Skymaster\texture.base
... and unzip the downloaded folder into the Skymaster folder:
F:\Flight Simulator 2020\Official\OneStore\carenado-aircraft-c337-skymaster\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado_C337_Skymaster
The changes are minimal because the Skymaster is almost perfect and there is not much to fix for me, but I am sure there are a few perfectionists out there who are happy with this little overhaul :)
Have fun and have a great flight!
Gracias por tu trabajo. Una pregunta, por favor, se podría también hacer una mejora en las luces exteriores?, para que las luces de navegación y las estroboscópicas se vean más reales y que se reflejaran en el suelo como lo hacen la mayoría de los aviones. Saludos

If I may give you some suggestions:
Here I made an example:

163MB for fixing labels and miss alignment ? I will not try it because the C337 is perfect as this, but i'm surprised...

Hm in an era of broadband internet with 163MB downloaded in half a second and graphics cards with 12 to 24 gigabytes of VRAM + 32 GB of computer RAM as a standard for midrange flight sim rigs I don´t do lowest resolution 512x512 pixel JPEG textures - but ultra non-compressed quality only for visual perfection. :) To prevent any compressing artifacts and mach-bands or other immersion breakers. The Skymaster is a wonderful airplane and it deserves highest quality texture files.

This could be simply a matter of me getting old enough to need reading glasses, but I am having a hard time seeing the difference in your thumbnails. With the fuel & engine gauges, could you show them at the same angle and with both either off or both running so the needles in the same positions? On the suction gauge, is the warning RED = INOPERATIVE supposed to be written through the middle of the line surrounding the LEDs? Is that supposed to be a bevel in the face of the gauge or just a printed line?

Unfortunately the red LED lights of the suction gauge are not functional, not animated when the vacuum pump fails (none of the lights illuminate.) I have just made the texture a little bit better like for example the silver frames around the LEDs to make the instrument a little bit nicer looking.

This is how the real suction gauge of the Skymaster looks like but I kept the green and red line of the Carenado original :)

Could you please package this in Community folder mod or provide a zip file that the files can be extracted from in a neutral location and then manually moved in the appropriate 337 folder? I have a custom location for my MSFS installation and this zip file is not going to the correct location. Very frustrating!
