L1011-500 Beacon Lights

[Tripdog87]

Hi everyone, 

I know there was an earlier thread about the L1011’s beacon lights. I thought it would be worth while to note that the -500 variant did not have the rotating beacon they in fact were “strobed” like irl. Here is a link showing this exactly. Cannot wait for this bird!

Just to further add some more info on this;

I think this iniBuilds L-1011 is a mixture of all the models combined even though there calling it the -500 based on wing and fusalage design of the -500. 
Some of the liveries shown in the trailer video were not even painted on -500 models, TWA, Cathy Pacific, Eastern to name a few as they did not operate the -500. 
None of the larger carriers had the lower lounge. I believe PSA and LTU were the only ones to have the lower lounge.

I get why iniBuilds incorporated the liveries and some of the features currently in their -500.

I just hope there is a strong interest to make the other models, (-1, -100, -250) at a later time so we can see more accurate interiors, tape gauges, lighting options, etc. 

I'm still super excited and can't wait for the release.

Yeah, won’t deter me a bit I just find it funny they had it right the first time.
