NC, I found in my radio shed a nice antenna, about 40" with a coil around base going up to tip, it would make a great antenna with a tuner with your old radio. You can have it but you either need to pick it up in st pete or pay shipping. if you make the trip to my loocal, I will show you some real radio gear. Like my 2990 base and my 2970 mobile, and some really great antennas and ideals and how to use your new gear. Bring your radio and I will make you the jumper you will need.

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

Thanks for th3e HU Frank! Great news there are not many jet I fly, but this will definitely be one of them. Huub

I would not pay over $100 here is more of them in a row http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=MFJ+949E&_sacat=0&_from=R40

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

your radio RECEIVES 540kHz to32 MHz AM OR CW the tuner above is excelent for it front: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/MFJ-949E-Antenna-Tuner-/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/z/23EAAOxyMxpRtnJe/$(KGrHqV,!lEFGo6GEG7nBRtnJe7BTg~~60_57.JPG back: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/MFJ-949E-Antenna-Tuner-/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/z/E9gAAOxyu4dRtnI0/$T2eC16V,!)sE9swmZvu5BRtnI0Wwcw~~60_57.JPG

here is one like mine but cheeprt 1-30 mhz http://www.ebay.com/itm/MFJ-949E-Antenna-Tuner-/251288441213?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Tuners&hash=item3a81f5517d#ht_42wt_1186

this is what is inside of tuners http://www.ebay.com/itm/18uH-ROLLER-INDUCTOR-FOR-80-10-METER-AMPLIFIER-OR-ANTENNA-TUNER-/230986781931?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c7e294eb#ht_3187wt_1186

I have one of these and had it for 30 years, you can take a piece of wire or coat hanger, lol and talk on it http://www.ebay.com/itm/MFJ-949E-Antenna-Tuner-300-watt-1-8-30-MHz-/300912403136?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Tuners&hash=item460fc6e2c0#ht_1797wt_1186 here are other tuners http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=antenna+tuner&_osacat=1500&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=antenna+tuner&_sacat=1500

234 or (468f =feet) divided by the freq will give you the length in meters/metric, you need to make an antenna, than you can either make a 1/2 or 1/4 or 1/8 or 1/16 ect wave antenna to the proper length to receive. go here and they will do the math http://www.csgnetwork.com/antennagenericfreqlencalc.html

well my radio is gone, lol a friend of mine who is a ham radio operater who has a whole room of radios came by yesterday and seen my radio which i just pulled out of the closet. he offered me $250 and without blinking an eye I said sold, hehehe. I have an atenna tuner and once in the past I took my transalantic 7000 and with a piece of wire tied to a tree and to the tuner and was listening to africa and other places in the world.

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

Paul is a great guy. There is just one thing wrong about him..... He drinks the wrong brand of :icon29: Just kidding of course! Have a Grolsch! 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

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..... Cheers, Huub

Very interesting repaint. A great idea to make it! Cheers, Huub

Thanks for the nice pictures Lawman! Huub

wow what a differance 24 hours made and a tune up. I really wate too long to do the real work, lol, I need to do a tune up monthly not every 6 months.

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: Cheers, Huub

Guys the files are in the library and will become available as soon as Rami has approved them. Enjoy, Huub

Amazing work again John! You are truly a great artist! :salute: Cheers, Huub

I bought my radio in Panama 1973 from the PX

I have 1 of these with book too, is this what you mean. ZENITH twelve band Trans Oceanic RADIO - model R7000 http://www.ebay.com/itm/transistor-ZENITH-twelve-band-Trans-Oceanic-RADIO-model-R7000-/261228947501?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd275682d#ht_104wt_949

tomorrow morning i will turn us off and rebuild things, hasn't beed done in a while, about 2 hours I think.

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. Cheers, Huub

I haven't been able to locate them in the library here at the SOH, but both files are available at flightsim.com. Just do a search on the file names. Cheers, Huub

Great work John. I really love them! Wozza's T6 was already a great model. But the textures from guys like Marcel, Tom, Daniel, Marvin and you (and all those I forget) really make this model special! When I look at the download numbers I think most like the polished one. However I prefer to look at your perfect rendering from aluminium dope. Cheers, Huub

Have you installed the updates t6texmod.zip and fsds_t-6update.zip? Wozza updated the texture lay-out after the original release to fix the cowl mapping. From what you describe, I think you are missing the last file. Cheers, Huub

Homer don't lick the pretty frogs, lol (doope) the firtleance snakes and bushmaster snakes lurk in the jungle. huge spiders with hair on them are everywhere. watch out for the black palm trees. mosquitoes are the state bird,

I agree with both previous posters. I use 7-zip at home and WinZip at work as it is part from my companies software package. I would install 7-zip at work as well when the let me. I think WinZip can perhaps do more, but most people don't use these things and they are just confusing. Cheers, Huub

just this past week i seen a history of Canada planes, they were always ahead of the times. I really enjoyed the program seeing them fast jets from the 50's, the fastest, then they scrapped them ?? I seen the sauser and the pre osprey vertical takeoff, wow I didn't know the people from the north woods invented them.
