There is no reason to become impolite. I would appreciate it if you could discuss inquiries about purchase details at the Milviz forums, by PM or by e-mail.
I don't think it serves any purpose to see two people quarreling about something nobody else in interested in.
Thanks for you understanding and cooperation,
Huub
John I had to read this sentence twice...... you of all people!!! :isadizzy: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:
Nevertheless very much appreciated in this case.
Looking forward to your Harvards,
Huub
Since it uses the Flight1 wrapper I assume their 30-day refund policy will also work for this aircraft.
It's really not that hard to start, just follow the instructions on page 5 of the manual ("Just tell me how to start it."), the only tricky is the timing to click the throttle. Wait about 3 seconds to click it after clicking the battery switch.

Thanks John, it is indeed good to see both back in the air! I love seeing those classics up in the air and this year we got to see plenty with the P-51D, two Spitfires, B-25, Anson, Beaver, Cub, Fokker S-11, Meteor, Fouga, MiG-15, Phantom, two Dakotas, Catalina, Dragon Rapide, Beech 18, Harvard, Hunter and Viggen!
What would help is a ban on bringing stairs, steps, pieces of scaffolding and other thing you can climb on, so the front row isn't blocked by people standing on them..
That shower on Saturday was nasty! About halfway through my umbrella broke by a hard gust of wind and left me and my camera exposed. Had to grab my camera cover and rain suit in a hurry!
That's at least some good news, Vin! I already heard rumors during my last visit that the people of Soesterberg were not happy with the US aircraft not becoming a part of the new museum, as they felt it was a big part of the history of their town. Seems like they listened after all!
The Phantom didn't fly a display, but it did two passes before landing on Friday morning. Quite a nice surprise!
Hawkeye,
The converted CFS2 version can be found here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?79111-Fokker-T-5-zip
The FS2002/FS2004 version is available at flight name under the name fk_tv.zip

Hi Jens I was indeed referring to the titles on the fuselage. It might be worth to try a bit texturing these letters, for instance some spickles, to make them look "less present" a bit.
But as I already said a very interesting repaint, which will definitely find a place on my hard disk!
Cheers,
Huub
Didn't see any while at Rhodes either! But I guess the Greeks don't have any other option but to continue flying their Phantoms at the moment..? With the current crisis I'm sure then won't (And probably can't) spend anything on a replacement anyway.
The good news is that 'we' recently purchased a Phantom for the air force museum in Soesterberg and painted it in the colours of the Wolfhounds back when they were based there. It was supposed to fit in the museum's display of the F-86, F-100, F-102 (A former Greek aircraft) and F-15, but with the move to a new location and merger with the army museum there's a chance we won't see any of those aircraft again.. Last rumor I've heard had the Phantom and F-15 rotating on display and the others sold, stored or scrapped. :mad:
Well, I was four years old back in 1980, so...... :icon_lol: I've seen Phantoms on static display almost every year since 2000 (When I started visiting the shows) but they never did a display, and not even during holidays in Germany or Turkey did I see one. Much like the Fitter the Phantom is a great fuel-to-noise converter, but not a great aircraft for a show, as those beasts seem to prefer to fly only in a straight line at high speeds.
Thanks for the pictures Ferry, I enjoyed them!
Funny to hear you never saw (or should I say "hear"") a Phantom in flight. When I was stationed at Soesterberg in 1978, 32TFS was still flying them. I think they were replaced by Eagles in 1980.
Huub
Jens I think you are still using the old spec maps. Either replace them by new ones or just replace them with all gray textures in the darkness corresponding with the gloss you want.
Cheers,
Huub
Thanks guys!
Matt, is the classic air force a different organisation or is it part of Air Atlantique..? I see they also have the Meteor and Dragon Rapide (Also flew at Volkel) on their site.
Stuart: The Viggen is quite noisy and has an earth shaking rumble on take-off, but those Fitters are even louder! :applause:
The main market for Adobe Photoshop is most likely professional photographers and publishers, I think for them there isn't much difference whether they need to buy an expensive program once in a while or work with a subscription.
For us who are using these photo editing programs just as a drawing program it doesn't make any sense to pay a monthly fee. But We should alo realise that we are no market for Adobe. I will stick with my ancient Paint Shop Pro 7 version as long as my PC's operating system allows me. And after that I hope Gimp is still around.....

Nice pics Lawman! I just posted a few in the photography forum here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?79215-Dutch-airforce-show-2013
Another aircraft you never see flying, but now a pair did a display; Polish Sukhoi Su-22M4 Fitter. Lots of noise and smoke but not very good at making turns:
Air Atlantique Avro Anson, yet another first for me:
This KLM 737 did a fly-by and landing, it was filled with about 120 severly disabled or sick children, for which an foundation called 'Hoogvliegers' (High flyers) organizes special trips like these:
This weekend the Dutch air force organized the traditional air show weekend (Friday and Saturday) and of course we attended both days again. The special theme this year was '100 years of military aviation' as the Dutch air force was founded back in 1913. Despite budget cuts a nice program was assembled, including four of the best display teams in the world: the Red Arrows, Frecce Tricolori, Patruille Suisse and the Patrouille de France. Other jets included the solo F-16 displays from the RNLAF, Belgian air force and Turkish airforce, Czech and Hungarian Gripen and the French 'Ramex' team with two Mirage 2000N. Because of the 100 years anniversary a lot of classic aircraft attended, including a few from the Battle of Britain memorial flight (BBMF) and Air Atlantique. Took a whole lot of photos; here are a few highlights:
German F-4 Phantom in its 'Pharewell' paint. Amazingly I never saw one flying although the Germans and Turks attended several shows in the past but Always on the static show:
Polish Lim-2 (MiG-15); another one I never saw flying before:

Description: In the movie Flyboys the pilots from the Lafayette squadron are mostly fighting red Fokker Dr.1s and one black Fokker Dr.1. In reality the Lafayette squadron did not fight any Fokker Dr.1s and the Fokker were only painted red in the movie to make the easy to recognise for the audience watching the movie.
In the movie there is one red Fokker with crossed swords painted on the fuselage. Most likely these swords were based on the swords which were painted on the Albatross D.II flown by VFw Erich Kohler from Jasta 9. The Fokker in the movie was flown by the fictional pilot Franz Wolferd a not so bad "bad guy". The black Fokker in the movie was flown by the non-existing "Black Falcon". The real bad guy, who of course was killed by the ultimate good guy, at the end of the movie.

JanKees, the country you live in now flew nice aluminium dope Harvards. They even had a demonstration team flying Harvards!
Just to increase you appetite :icon_lol:

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Skins - Other
Description: This file contains 2 historic correct textures for Richard Alexander Van Hien's Fokker T.V. One depicts the 857 in pre-1940 colours with red-white-blue markings and the srcond livery depicts the same aircraft with the large orange markings which were introduced late 1939 to avoid confusion with British aircraft.
Although the textures were originally done for FS2004, I assume they will work well on the coverted model in CFS2 as well.
Enjoy,

Description: This file contains alternative textures for the Neobq Fokker DR.1. They depict Paul Bäumer's Fokker Dr.1.
Paul Bäumer was born on 11 May 1896 in Duisburg an city in the Ruhr area. Like so many german aces, his carreer started in the German infantry. After he got wounded he was transferred as dental assistant in the German air service. In 1917 he was allowed to follow pilot training. Before the Armistice he was awarded 43 victories, ranking him 9th placea mong German aces. After the war he became dentist, where Erich Maria Remarque was one of his patients. Remarque used Bäumer's name for the main character in the book "All quiet at the Western front". Bäumer remain a passionate pilot and founded his own aircraft company. He died in 1927 during a test flight.

The comments you make there will appear in the posts below.
b24_witchcraft, when I understand you correctly, you want a 31FG repaint for the FSX acceleration Mustang. I have been looking at the usual places, but couldn't find a paintkit for this model. I think it is too much work for most of the repainters to create a full paintkit from scratch, just to make this one repaint. (at least it is for me)
When you want a B or C model P51 and are not willing spend any money on it, you could try the P51B/Cs from A.F. Scrub. You can find these at Flightsim.com. Just search for the files mustangp51b-c.zip, mustangp51b-c1.zip and mustangiii_fix.zip.
As I don't think these models support "shine" you will not be able to create (or find) any reflective textures for them.
When you really want to have a model from the aircraft you show in your picture, there is no other option than to spend a some money on the Warbirdsim P51B package and get the repaint done by JanKees. I can assure you that you won't regret the money spend on the model.
Cheers,
Huub
A while ago I did 2 repaints for this model to give it a more realistic look as Cess Donker wanted to use them as AI in his Dutch 1940 FS2004 scenery. If you are interested I can upload them.

Although it is not something I advertise, you CAN apply for an email address at my (FS) company. After screening, you will then get an @fsmail.fssupport.com email address.
Attachment 49570Yup, it is implemented now! As I mentioned before here, I am giving a discount of 25% on certain of our products to customers who are pensioners (or should be) and are willing to confirm it.
The world is getting tough enough as it is, without people on small retirement or savings having to pay a bundle for their favorite hobby. So I'll do my best to get as many products in the programme as possible (and allowed by their developers).
