GAS DH60 Moth

[Spad54]

Hi Folks

From all of us at GAS, Jim, Gil, Paul G, and me, here she is! Special thanks to Leyland and Brian, from across the pond and Anthony for the use of his P-8 compass. Have fun and looking forward to what the re-painters come up with. I'd really appreciate it if an administrator would add it to the library. Thanks

Best
Paul

Wow! Awesome! Thanks Paul and team. I will upload it for you. :applause: :medals:

Edit: Upload completed.

Thanks Milton, I was about to do it but you've done much more uploading than me, lol!

This is a great collaberation Paul and it's looking fantastic! Thanks for all you and the team's hard work.:ernae:

Thanks for this, been looking forward to it. :applause:

It is quite amazing how Sir Francis Chichester practiced his navigation with a sextant on a pushbike biking around the NZ Auckland country roads taking his hands off the handle bars to work the sextant - this was how he was to do this alone across the Tasman Sea while flying , course the rest is history and showed he was smack on :cool:

Thanks fellas for a great aircraft. I have downloaded and installed this aircraft and am very impressed. I have the original FS9 DH-60 with quite a few VH paints. Can you tell me if these paints will fit the new version if I convert them to DDS.

Unfortunately not. The entire aircraft has been mapped to a new texture set using 2048x2048 maps. There is a paint kit with the model located in a folder named Golden Age Simulations found in your FSX root directory.

Free GAS? Gotta love it! Thanks Team, she's a beauty. :applause:...Don

No worries I will just have to get the paint pot out over the next few days.

A Great Gift, very many thanks for this superb aircraft.:applause::applause::applause:

[fleurdelys]

A big thank you GAS and team for this gorgeous aircraft... :icon29:

I've just installed it and made a few flights to get acquainted with her. Very nice in all respects !

I was wondering if there is provision for a passenger (such as Merryl Streep in Out of Africa) since the load section can accomodate for the weight of a passenger ?

Cheers,

Fleurdelys

[pilottj]

Great job GAS, thanks for this beauty.:salute::icon29:

[Adrian Petford]

I've long been a fan of Jim Douglass' model, flying her since FS9 days. One I always thought would remain on the FS9 native models list though, so this brilliant FSX native conversion comes as a real treat. And not just a conversion either, you've taken a classic model to a whole new level. The liveries, seaplane and amphibian are great! :applause:

Thank you very much, Golden Age Simulations.

Now does anyone fancy doing a repaint of Amy Johnson's G-AAAH "Jason"? The version intended for the FS9 model won't work with the new texture mappings.

Thanks again,


Ade

[Dexdoggy]

Thankyou so much for this great little place - perfect for some VFR!

If you are patient it is on my to do list now I have a couple of photos of the museum model. Got a couple of VH-*** to do first.

Great, thanks AussieMan. I'll look forward to that and your Aussie paints too. Will be excellent to have some additional liveries for the new model.

Thanks again,

[Portia911]

Like Ade and many others, I used to fly Jim's FS9 Moths. Wonderful then . . . and I can't wait to try this new, improved version in FSX (downloading now).
Many thanks to all at GAS (and Ant) for this gift. :salute:

[P38man]

Thanks GAS looks lovely. Much appreciated :salute:

[AussieMan]

Well I have almost finished VH-UAE and hopefully by Sunday I will have started work on Amy Johnson's aircraft. Very little will be happening tomorrow as I will be away taking part in a Rural Fire Service exercise.

[peter12213]

Ive always wanted one and this is a great job, thanks a lot!

Cheers, Pat. I have also issued CF-AGX and am now working on the black and orange G-AANL. Which Oz ones are you doing? I don't want to duplicate your efforts! Looking forward to your VH-UAE.

regards, Peter W

[arfyhun]

Thank you very much for a spectacular aeroplane. Anything DeHavilland is nectar to me but this is a large step beyond...

Thanks Peter and Pat for the superb repaints.

Much appreciated,

Peter I have in mind Gipsy powered VH-ULJ, ULP, UPU, ULM and Cirrus powered UAU and UAO. UAO wiull also possibly be in 2 schemes. Civilian and military.

Thanks for the info Pat. Five of those were on my to do list - You've saved me a lot of time! I will concentrate my efforts mainly on British, Canadian and US examples.

Pete, by all means do some of the Aussie ones. Just leave me ULM and UAO. I will have a look for some Kiwi ones.

We can always work together with lists.

HU for two new very colourful liveries of this gorgeous bird by Peter Watkins at Flightsim ...

Thank you Peter and Pat for your work... :icon29:

Are there any military trainer liveries for this aircraft ? I like the wartime look of these old biplanes (although we loose a bit on the coloured side of things) ... :icon_lol:

I have come across a small problem when painting the Gipsy Moth. There appears to be a small fillet where the tail section joins the fuselage and mo matter how I try I cannot paint it the same colour as the tail fin. The same thing applied when I painted VH-UAE but this time it is more obvious because of the paint pattern on the tail fin. Here are a couple of shots.

I have circled the problem area. Any help is much appreciated.

By the way this is still a work in progress so there are some areas to be covered yet.

That part of the aircraft is mapped to the fuselage texture, if I recall correctly. I did it that way because the majority of examples studied had the metal faring painted the same as the fuselage. I'm not sure if there is a fix short of recompiling the whole model and reissuing an update. The downside in doing that would be that all previous paint schemes may have to be revised. Send me you wip so I can load it in the design program and evaluate.

I just checked it and as I suspected its mapped to the fuselage body color. I don't see an easy way to fix this short of a remap.

[AussieMan]

Will try to sent you the WIP I am working on at the moment but if it is mapped to the fuselage texture I guess it is a small something we can live with. It will be easier with aircraft that have an all over colour scheme (colours where the fuselage and tail assembly are the same colour). I have a couple of silver repaints in mind that will be fine.

Unfortunate I suspect we'll have to manage around that. Look forward to your continued work

Don't know how to attach a file to a PM so I will add them here for you Spad.

I have only included the three main files: Fuselage and both wing sets.

Hope you liked the RAF military one! Still quite a few more to do - civil and military- and I must get started on the Cirrus version including the floatplane (Australian military and Finnish civil examples). The amphibian Gipsy is very limited repaint-wise - a shame. There are quite a few Gipsy floatplane schemes if the Guys at GAS felt like fitting floats to the Gipsy model!! The Gipsy Moth has always been my favourite plane but then you probably guessed that! I always liked the FS9 version but this one takes it to a whole new level. Brilliant stuff GAS!

cheers, Peter W

[AussieMan]

I have just about finished VH-ULM and VH-UAO (A7-9).

If anyone can help me with the RGB combination and alpha channel to use to get a half decent silver I will be very happy. At the moment the combinations I am using from samples turn out more grey that anything.

[Naki]

Here's NZs only flying Gypsy Moth taken at the recent Mosquito show...actually I think its the only one left now that AEJ has been sold overseas...don't there are any others in the country static or otherwise

Hi Peter,

Your reference to the RAF military one got me thinking that I might have missed a few (which I had) and found them at Flightsim...

Thank you again for all your work... :icon29:

My question regarding the military textures was more in line with the Tiger Moth which was used for training and had some nice textures in the military service such as yellow or camo or a combination of both...

Cheers,

Fleurdelys

PS: Here are the pics of the missing Gypsies...

[Naki]

Very nice! I will paint and upload for tomorrow.

Cool..looking foward to it (as well lots of guys at NZFF)...nice addtion to the hangar alongside Ant's Tiger Moth and DGs Rapide

[fleurdelys]

HU for all those biplane lovers and particularily the Gipsy and Cirrus Moth from GAS...


Since my last posting, Peter W. has not been idle and you can find his many skins at Flightsim !

There are 3 more Gipsies as well as 4 Cirrus and 2 seaplanes. Two of those retained my attention as they are both wartime skins (Finnish and an RAF seaplane).

Thank you Peter... :icon29:

[fleurdelys]

And the last one...

[fleurdelys]

Just out of the paint shop and still dripping wet, this one is rather colourful, by Peter W. It can be downloaded as usual at Flightsim...

[HighGround22]

.
Luv-Lay!! Purely beautiful paint, Fleur! Many thanks for that.

And fwiw, I'd very much admire one of your colourful paints on the seaplane version, as well.

A bientot (j'espere).
