LOL can't count the times I bet my grandma's dog saw the answer to his prayers was the apple pie cooling in grandma's window sill! He licked that pie plate clean!

Grizz has been doing this as a great favour to the community despite major real-life responsibilities. It's much appreciated Kasey! :applause::applause::applause:

...but as the title indicates it is a thread about the paintlkit, I thought you wouldn't mind that I used to thread to mention I made some use of the piantkit as well :running: In August 1917 two prototypes of the Fokker tri-plane were delivered. The 102/17 went to Manfred von Richthofen and 103/17 was delivered to Werner Voss. Von Richthofen was not impressed, mainly because it was slower than the Albatross D.V it should replace and handed the aircraft over to Kurt Wolff. Although van Richthofen initially disliked the aircraft he made scored two victories with the 102/17. On 15 September Wolff was killed in this aircraft in a dogfight with Norman MacGregor. Aircraft number 103/17 was flown by Werner Voss who was impressed by maneuverability of the aircraft and later convinced von Richthofen about the qualities of the aircraft. The "face" on the engine cover is based on the images on Japanese flighter kites, which Voss used to fly with his cousins in Krefeld. The aircraft was equipped with a French Le Rhône engine which was more reliable than the German Oberursel copy. Voss was killed in this aircraft on 23 September after a fight with six aces from RAF 56 squadron. The aircraft were delivered in an overall turquoise finish with olive brush strokes over the upper surfaces. There is a lot of discussion about the colour of the engine and wheel covers. Some sources claim they were painted in the unit colour (yellow). However I haven't been able to find one single picture which supports this claim. Cheers, Huub

Pete1, Just as soon as I can get them all uploaded. I cannot give a time, but I am on it. Rami knows what I am doing. I have lots to upload, all I ask is to let me do it. :D

Hey, guys, I have just uploaded that item, along with a bunch of others that somehow got missed. All under CFS3 Other Add-ons - Vehicles. And if anyone has these zips, please PM me: g_wagon.zip railcoach.zip ammo_wagons.zip They are also missing.

You lucky man Loic, I'm jealous!

These are great!:applause: When do you plan on releasing them?:icon_lol:

Yes she flies but not that afternnon. The smoke pods under the wings have been designed specifically for the display of this aircrafts, they make some unique rounds. In flight, I have seen: - Patrouille de France. - Aéronavale (Super Etendard, Rafale, Hawkeye). - When I was leaving, the Swiss Ju52 arrived (JuAir), she is beautifull.

Lucky you! Did the Sea Fury fly? I really like the Centaurus's rumble :D

A few more pictures.

The engine is a M88 that equipped the Dassault Rafale.

Flyboy, most of Bob "Banana Bob" Riviera's prop blurs have been uploaded by OleBoy here in the file library at the SimOuthouse. Just do a search on "bob riviera" in the file library. Thanks for another beautiful repaint John! Cheers, Huub

Other pictures.

Depending on what you are looking for, there is a Komet on it's trailer available for CFS3 as a vehicule but, as there is no readme, I can't remember who made it and where I get this download.

Two nice pictures of the 2013 event: http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Avro-683-Lancaster/2262539/&sid=6a05ecf5f6f410728105320933c1095f http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Avro-683-Lancaster/2262540/&sid=6a05ecf5f6f410728105320933c1095f

Typical the type of vahicule that really improve immersion in game, thanks.

It could be said the US is out of step, but it doesn't help that MS is inconsistent: aircraft.cfg uses feet while the .xdp uses metres. Just one of the things that keeps modders on their toes. :isadizzy:

Once again...a real winner!!! Thanks Paul:salute: Ted

Fokker DR.I in factory finish.

Wow! You have a real talent Joost :), she looks wonderful. Excuse my ignorance but what's the make/history?

Although I fully understand your reasoning, I liked the site as it gave a such a nice clear overview of all your models. Thanks for maintaining it all these years! Huub

Thanks Paul, really appreciated! Huub

Looks great John. I watched that movie already earlier this day. I recognised the formation and knew your screenshots must have been based on this movie. The painting my father did was based on a picture he had in a book. My father could paint really beautiful skies. Cheers, Huub

I don't have, sorry. But, when I read this: + I feel happy! :icon_lol:

Thanks John, downloading now. BTW nice screenshots of the flying circus. The second screenshot reminds me of a painting my father once did. It has been above my bed for many years and suddenly I wonder what happened with it as I left it with my parents when I left home and both my parents aren't there anymore to tell me. Cheers, Huub

The mission is called:Operation Chastise and the mission pack holds everything wich is required

the plane is the:ETO_Lanc_M3_Dam,it carries a weapon called:AvHistory_gb_DepthBomb_Upkeep it is equiped with a special range finder and leigh lights that converge at 30ft. Still looking for the mission in ETO 1943.:kilroy:

I seem to remember there is a Dam Buster mission arround, with the especially fitted lancaster with the range finder , bouncing bomb and lights to adjust the heigth, but i cannot seem to find it at the present time.:kilroy:

If you're buying in the UK (hello old chap, from another in Blighty :wavey:) then go for an 8-hour rated chair iirc. Just keep the kids - or grandkids as applicable - off it. Mine played with the height adjustment so much it won't stay at the height I prefer any more. But it is comfortable! If you're sitting in it longer than that at a stretch then I don't want to clean the crumbs from your keyboard...

Thanks OC, much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding service to God and your work Bill!:salute: Ted

There's been a few proggys on the TV about it and a radio2 broadcast tommorow night which sounds very good. Have managed to miss all of it so far and am out tommorow! :( Thank goodness for Iplayer and catchup tv! I wanted to get the Dambusters cfs3 pack improved but ran out of time this year. With the coming of the Alphasim CFS2 source model we have something to work on for a future anniversary.... (the current one has incorrect lamps etc.) We need more bods willing to get their hands dirty! :)

yes!

Yes I think you're right Pete now I come to think about it, definatley have seen Mathias' Walrus model and someone had a nearly finished Fury/Hart. The Bulldog is coming along quite quickly, it's great being able to start with an almost complete fully textured model! am working on the 'pit at present then need to add damageboxes, emmiters, end caps and Lods. Shouldn't be more than a few weeks. :) I want to get their set of pre war RAF types up and flying.

This is the beastie, would make a good ai model once the animation and props are sorted. Anyone care to take it on? :)

Just letting you know you did an amazing job up to this point :O) Ted

Looks great from the air too bad we cannot get a ground version in QC. Tried attacking the airfield with the BF109e2 from JG77 got a great shot! COOL!!

Do we have an HE115 in cfs3? I can't find one and there's a useable CFS1 Alphasim model which I have. At present working on the Bulldog, then there's a Hart, Hind, Felixstowe and Heyford ripe for conversion too. :)

No, there's something coded into cfs3 methinks. If you start in the air in qc you'll see the animation but not from a runway start. Would love to be shown differently!

I must have missed something,but is it possible to have tis working in QC?

If you want photos of a Hudson, I have some from the RAF museum Hendon's Mk.III. Drop me a PM if you want 'em

Gosh you've been busy Ted! :salute: And not all aircraft fly like Dorniers! :icon_lol:
