delta_lima replied to a thread Alpha F-8 Crusader improvements in FSX General Discussion

Funny you should ask ... When Don's latest update was published, I saw the indicators for down as barberpole. That just seemed odd - but in in some photos in my books, they indeed show that for some of the newer E/J/L models. (eg: rear cover of Detail & Scale F-8 Crusader). Steve Pace's F-8 Part One, p.66 shows a vertical bar on a B model. In most of the museum models, they seem to be barberpoled....

CG_1976 replied to a thread U.S. is buying Russian Helos? in The NewsHawks

I cant offer a good answer on why Afghanistan isn't buying with there money. However on the purchase of Russian Helo's I can somewhat. Most if not all of Afghanistan's Pilots and crews are trained on Russian Equipment. If US made Helo's were bought and sent , the cost goes way up. You would have re train Crews and pilots and that will almost increase and excel the cost and extend the afghan mission. By going to Russian made you wont encounter that increase cost of training and also Russian Helo's are cheap. So in a way US Tax Payers are actually saving by going the Russian Route on Helo's for Afghanistan. Just my train of thought on this.

Well, looking forward to whatever you come up with. Indeed, those "older" NASA paints you did were my favourite for this model until this recent batch. So if they benefit from any of your current panel line work great - no worries either way. A further twist on the NASA models - for more peaceful purposes, could be a rendition to represent the earth science surveillance platform that was the U-2 and now the ER-2. One could easily argue the delta wing does not confer the greatest high-altitute performance - but, it's a sim, right? A bit hard to find good photos ... I really like this older scheme with the blue meatball ... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v487/theplasticsurgeon/ModelPlanes/U2s/Airfix_U2_Nasa.jpg . http://aether.lbl.gov/www/projects/u2/U2EXPGFS.JPG

Another RF-paint seems almost too good to be true - that you've mapped it to the F8U-1Emodel is great news - the fewer missiles, the better! :) Looking forward to this - and it's motivating me to find more time to finish my Cuba '60 scenery project ...

Man - you're really a machine!!! I'm almost all out of ideas - you've done every single one I could have hoped for. All I'm thinking (and maybe they already have it) - but your X-24B and X-15 inspired paints from pages 3-4 of this thread - could they benefit from your recent updates? That's really all for me - the couple USMCs, couple of Navy prototypes, and couple of NASAs - my cup runneth over!! DL

Smokin', JAFO!! No worries on the text orientation. You're right, the other text in relation to the NASA flash would have had to have been "over" the flash. Although that's the compromise I'd have made, the key word is "I'd" - the your repaint, your choice - so no worries - love it all the same. NASA font is all sorted - nothing left to say - oh, except that I saw you snuck in a Dryden logo - clever bugger! All in all - it's just magnificent. 10/10, mate! Cheers, DL

Hello JAFO! They all look awesome!! Re: F/A-12 prototype (red/white) - I'd say it's there. Re: YA-12 (NASA) - I think the blue looks good as you've rendered it. My only commentary would be around the NASA font - and position. You've used a serif'ed font, vs the non-serif font used in the mid 70s period in the ref photo. Here's a few other NASA aircraft using the same yellow flash/black lettering - all from the same period. Now granted, these are dedicated NASA test bed machines - but the point is they used the same flash font during this period .... http://www.air-and-space.com/20060213%20Palmdale/DSC_2988%20Jetstar%20N814NA%20NASA%20left%20side%20l.jpg

JAFO - you're an animal, mate!! Unbelievable productivity. Looks awesome - my only minor comment would be the FA-18 - perhaps would better as "F/A-18" - as per both the paint scheme and the general USN/USMC fighter type nomenclature. Besides that ... just make some room at my fave hangar at Patuxent for some trials .... she'll be well loved!! Cheers, DL
