Woot! Us NATTC rats(AVA, AFTA) have wanted Millington for a while. Thanks for the HU! ...Don

The red light comes from the use of the F18 VC. I posted a hack to remove it when the model was first released. I'm not at my PC at the moment so I can't check the details, but if you can find the original thread the info should be in there.

:icon_lol::salute: There was some ON MARK B-26K "Congo repaints" for FS9, Thought this could match up with.....:mixedsmi:

Hi Pat, THIS is the link on our shop page for donations to Simon: http://silvercloud-store.com/index.php?dispatch=statistics.banners&banner_id=8 If it doesn't work, just go to the shop and look in the right-hand column.... THANKS !

That is great news Francois. But as I got my Hudson for free (Beta tester) I would like to make a small donation to help to offset Simon's costs so can you point me in the right direction please. I won't be able to do anything until I get paid on Thursday.

Hi Shessi Great Idea!! I did that with a V and W class destroyer. It's a good start. Cheers Stuart

Hi John Got It. Thanks for that. There is a copy of Janes WW1 ships in our local library. I also have a hard copy of Conways, Ships 1906-1921. Cheers Stuart

Hi All I'm on it. Thanks guys. I have a working model with an alpha part. The alpha is the support for the searchlight. As you have suggested, a separate bitmap, was the go. (especially as my main bitmap has 'black' pixels and did that cause some funny results:icon_lol:) I did use DXT1, but I will follow your suggestions, Allen and use DXT3. When I say a working model, the texturing is basic and the DP is from a mahan class destroyer. I opened the DP editor for the first time today. Looks like another can of worms. Thanks for the offer to do the DP John, I will email all the bits to you, once I tinker with the forward portholes (they look a bit too big, ok on a luxury liner, but not a warship)

So what's the French for "Alright, who ordered the mad paintjob?" Dave

Were you able to get a copy of Jane's.

let me know if you need anythingin regards to the DP. You know you can make an alpha channel with MW's DXTBmp. its not to diffecult. you can even send it to be edited in PSP then save and reupload it to DXTBmp.

Its working great Allen. Thank You. I messed up on the 50kg pylon somewhere. its not showing up. i'll just remake it and it should work fine.

More bad news I'm afraid........ check the new thread ...... :icon_lol:

I wish that were true............ :isadizzy: I would insert the word 'some' in two places in that sentence. :icon_lol:

The last picture we saw from the Ladybird book was of those jolly Lake Victoria boatmen, but we're getting a bit ahead of it having already reached Kenya. Still in Uganda, this was the third page of text: You'd want to strangle John with his notebook full of 'facts', wouldn't you? Anyway, we all learn a few selected ones there. Daddy's remark that the natural world is 'like a zoological gardens turned loose' is breathtakingly arrogant if you think about it. But there is some progress: before WW2 Daddy would certainly have had to shoot a few wild animals for trophies to prove to Mummy that they'd been there, and he would probably have let John bag a couple of impala too. The illustration confirms that the book has a big emphasis on education:

As I mentioned in that first post, I trashed what they had as it was not correct. Everything shown in the images I've posted throughout the thread is what I've done from scratch.

I found it easier to get in than out of that strip. The uphill slope helps slow down a lot. :D Really liking these three fields! Good job!

Heya TJ, Well done! I think this was an outstanding "experiment", particularly given the nature of Accusim with the accumulated wear and tear on the airframe. I do have to laugh, though: those compression ratio values (yes, I have both versions of A2A Mustangs) are sooooo low (my 2V Ford 289 records 115 PSI). I guess the Rolls-Royce guys knew that high boost (60"!!!) would frag a high-compression engine, ergo the low compression ratio. Again, well done. I want to retry portions of the Low Course with my RealAir Duke, but the Civilian Mustang would certainly be fun from Kalispel down to Jackson Hole! JKH

No, it's recommended, but there is an option in the installer for non FTX setups.

First things first: Tracking-URL: (Flight-ID: gcHXBrPnMp3hqm4yfFNOsQQQ4) http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=gcHXBrPnMp3hqm4yfFNOsQQQ4 Had kind of a heart-stopping beginning. Took off in the same aircraft as the night before, with the same light fuel load. Oooooh. Once I realized this in the air I took it easy on the fuel flow, calculating in my head and on the screen, and figured, no sweat. But, something to watch in the future: make sure you have enough fuel to make the flight (had 8% left in tanks on landing - kind of close). I have had an absolute blast doing this! I did not crash, although I came close, and have discovered that I enjoy the "purpose" of flying: Flight planning, fuel management, etc. Looking forward to repeating some of the more colorful (ORBX) legs using the RealAir Duke and Legacy. Thank you all! Mister Moses, Paul, the Great Ozzie, and finally, Miss Murphy.

wow.....what memories of that tower. I wwent to my AFUN "P" school and first A school at Millinton. Spent many off hours sitting at the tower watching the airtraffic come through. I believe if I'm not mistaken....where the FBO is....was a big old hanger filled with jets for school students to work on.

Got it. http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/3768-restauravia-mirage-iiib-raaf-a3-116/ Thank you! :ernae:

Arrgh! I forgot! :isadizzy:

I watched the music video for "Clouds" and the documentary, but I still wanted to know more. I checked out his Caring Bridge page. You can see everything there, from his diagnosis, treatments, his music career, to when he passed away. It is surreal in many ways. It makes me appreciate my life even more. I never heard of him before a few days ago but he made an impact on my life and has started to change my outlook on death. A coworker's son was diagnosed with Leukemia in February this year. Zach's story gave me some insight into what my coworker must be dealing with. I hope their story ends differently. I am thankful cancer doesn't really run in either of my parents' families. It seems a whole lot of people are affected by it nowadays. RIP Zach. The world needs more people like you. :engel016:

You guys are killin' me here with those screenshots. :icon_lol: Great job on the paint schemes, GAS. Classic Reliant. :applause:

Well, this was interesting... First things first: Tracking-URL: (Flight-ID: vzlmKMnuEviN2rCxzNwZ1DICbQ) http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=vzlmKMnuEviN2rCxzNwZ1DICbQ Since my poor flight planning took us to the wrong airport (O22 in Sonora versus O68 in Mariposa), I offered to treat Salesboy to dinner and drinks. Did you know there are tequila bars in Sonora? Did you know that there are ... ladies of leisure at these bars? Well, Salesboy definitely cannot handle his tequila, and was no danger to the ladies, and after I thanked them for helping me pour him into a cab, we stayed the night in Sonora. After a rip-roaring morning of praying to the Porcelain God, followed by lots and lots of coffee and breakfast (followed by more prayer sessions), we got loaded up for a late evening flight south to our real destination, O68 Mariposa. Pretty time of day for a flight, and Salesboy was quiet. All was good.

OK I finally was able to DL the MAIW South West ANG package that has KNFW but I don't recognize the parking image from the start of this thread. Do I have the right one?

Well I knew Roger would post the better screenshots - and since I had to move my FSX PC out to the shed (long story ) where I do not have Internet access (sad story) this one snap of my monitor from my iPhone will have to suffice - trust me - GAS did a great job on this Stinson set

Do you need FTX scenery for these to work properly?

Ok boys, here are the numbers. Duenna played nice for this last leg here. Feel free to analyze the numbers. I hope you guys can work her in to the RTW race and future SOH races. I did not push the P-51 during this trip thanks to accusim. I cruised at 43" 2500 RPM for all legs. A few of the legs I flew via navaids for the fun of it, and one leg I threw her around a bit to test duenna's response. As you can see, apart from worn brakes, the Merlin handled the course just fine since she wasn't pushed too hard. Fuel weight: 865.0 lbs (-237.0 lbs) 237*.06=0:14:13

Only the Good die young..... Yeap, got suddenly very dusty in here..... :engel016:

Well I managed to squeeze the A2A Spit IIB into 98TE - it's really short and rough; you really need to take advantage of the uphill slope, and be careful on the brakes so you don't nose over when you hit bumps. I don't know how long the runway is, but it's a real challenge for a very small, mountain strip. Kinda dark, dawn pics, but some good detail if you click on them. Of course you can't hear the birds chirping :)

I did every thing suggested...finally resorted to uninstalling which was a major deal and now I can't re-install...I'm about ready to toss this software in the trash. I have Win8...what a pain for reinstalling. I have deleted every little bit form the registry as suggested in the guide I found here...and still I keep getting this error 1628 cuz the damn thing will not reinstall...I set up anther user account..it still won't re-install. I have to say, FS9 and XP was a great setup...this computer runs FSX great...I don't know what happened but I guess I'm learning things about it I di not know till now. I've been at this all day with 0 results... I understand about saving the default flight...but I can't get the engines running. Anyway, I have un-installed FSX for the moment. Now if I can figure out how to re-install it, I'll be amazed. I don't know why the guys at MS had to make the newer machine be so damn complex to do a simple task. I bought the sim and the computer and should be able to do what I want with both without having to go thru all the aggravation.

Shhhhhh...they'll know I'm here! It will be o-kay as I get further into it Randy. It looks terrible now because it's just plain textures, no spec maps or alphas. I am finding that some of them are kept clean, and some not so much! '249' being one the more 'weathered' ones. Off I go...to PhotoShop...:salute:

The learning curve is steep. Most people started with FSDS then graduated to gMax and some on to Max and now there are other CAD programs such as Blender that are being used. Then there is a paint program to master and the techniques needed for your textures. Add to that C++ or XML gauge programming and don't forget the flight dynamics in the CFG and AIR files. And what about that sound file and then some special effects? And there is all the research time and in some cases monies involved to get the information needed for the model. All these things have been around since before FSX and now P3d but what has happened is the "Sim Community" has become jaded. We want the more highly detailed, high complexity models that FSX allows. For an individual designer, especially someone just starting out this can be extremely daunting and takes far more dedication then most are willing or able to give towards a hobby. Payware companies have teams of several people and a monetary incentive. Hummm? I wonder why there are very few freeware FSX native aircraft?

Beautiful! It's on my PC Aviator wishlist for next week.

Hi Cody, I hope it was just your imagination and no one was at the door so you can get back to work.:icon_lol: RD

Talk about A Super star...Great Athlete,..Being its a silent movie..no need for expletive deletes!..Lloyd's career was not all laughs, however. In August 1919, while posing for some promotional still photographs in the Los Angeles Witzel Photography Studio, he was seriously injured while holding a prop bomb thought merely to be a smoke pot. It exploded and mangled his hand, causing him to lose a thumb and forefinger. The blast was severe enough that the cameraman and prop director nearby were also seriously injured. Lloyd was in the act of lighting a cigarette from the fuse of the bomb when it exploded, also badly burning his face and chest and injuring his eye. Despite the proximity of the blast to his face, he retained his sight....When I was a kid he was still a big star ....Vin!

Well I did look around on that amazing government invention called the "Inter-Net"...Still having my 'Crypto Kinda Secret' decoder ring, and did find declassified pictures of said elusive planes! Keeping in mind that these pic's will self destruct do to their sensitive nature...I.E WIP's! The killer thing on this one is the way I'm trying to weather it!...But it is being worked every day!
