Thanks Ted. I had a look at the dlls but couldn't open them. :(

Looks great! Huub

Nice shots, I would love to see them (and hear them) once with my own eyes (and ears). The nice thing from modern technology is that I can see (and hear) them on You Tube. Not quite the same but a nice substitute. So thanks for the video. Cheers, Huub

Even in my small country there are already 2 flying replicas I know of, so you are most probably right when you think the number of replicas is close to the number of DR.Is originally built. For a period when photography was still something new an amazing amount of pictures were taken from the Fokker Dr.1. Personally I think the aircraft would have been forgotten already a long time when the guy above hadn't died in one. Manfred von Richthofen was made a myth by propaganda already during his life time. After his death people only continued to add to the story until he had turned into something which was completely invented and had no nothing to do with the real person von Richthofen. But ike Mikael Carson said in one of the interviews; when you build a replica it should be something people recognise. Well everybody has heard of the Red Baron, although most people think it is a guy with a big moustache and a pike on his helmet :icon_lol:. The myth around the red Baron leads to weird things. Like all the bad guys in the movie Flyboys fly in a red Fokker, while in reality even most of the 7 (!) different DR.Is van Richthofen flew, were painted only partly red! Fantasising about vpn Richthofen did also lead to the weird idea that some dogs can fly on top of their doghouse.......

I just got a new Pentax dslr and found to my delight that Photoshop CS2 - which I still use constantly - reads .DNG files straight off the camera. Why upgrade?? :isadizzy:duh btw, the P3D developer's subscription isn't the only way of building for P3D: $200 gets you a permanent licence and the sdk is a free download.

For those who want it, the Voss repaint is available in the download section. Enjoy, Huub

Hi Old Tiger,:wavey: Have you replaced the Scampton facility file recently?

Thanks for the links John. Very interesting read and the demonstration in the second video gives a fine impression of what this aircraft actually could do. It gives whole new definitions of STOL, steep turns and fast climb. On of the nice things about repainting is that during your research you learn a lot about history. I never knew that all German aircraft manufactures used their own paint. Therefore the grayish light blue from Albatross is quite different than the turquoise Fokker used. Standards like RAL and RLM were not introduced yet. With engines which develop less power than the ordinary family car, all the weight counts! Therefore on Fokker aircraft the olive paint was applied as thin as possible. The (later) production models had the upper surfaces not painted turquoise, but the olive brush strokes were applied on the bare fabric and afterwards coated with two layers of varnish. The later lozenge fabric was mainly invented to reduce weight as the ink of the printed pattern weighted less than paint. This also explains a bit why Mikael Carlson's replica weights more than the original. Although I must admit not the full 80 Kilograms.... :isadizzy: Cheers, Huub

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! :)
