I don't consider this craft ugly, I just thought it looked to short to be of any real use as a freight hauler.

Cant wait to give this one a go. I flew this one quite a bit in P3D and even did a little texture work in the cockpit and replaced the avionics. I remember that it flew and landed really nice then. Will have to see how it compares..

I like it. However, you got to plan your approaches, no flaps, no speed brakes..

I suppose that it doesn't have an opening nose door.....?😇

It does not.
However, it did at one time. The model was originally from MSFS2004, I did NOT
do a complete conversion from 2004 to FSX.
I closed that door and removed the animation.
