Ramona AAB T-70 and T-71 complete
Starting south and will be working north in terms of repainting each base's compliment of S-2Ts. Ramona's being the first on that list has been completed. Added shadows and some exhaust staining to the model. The S-2Ts are heavily used by Cal Fire during fire season, being they are the state's workhorse in the air. Adding some "wear" if you will, felt appropriate. Repainting will likely slow down quite a bit during the holidays. In that case, there may not be any new repaint packs posted, but I will at least be working on moving those mentioned past projects here.

Firehawk Pack 1 Nearing Completion
The firehawk pack is nearing completion. I finished Ventura County Sheriff's aircraft yesterday evening and finished Santa Barbara County Fire's tonight. After I look it over some more and align some of the striping these will be getting uploaded. Likely some time before the end of the week. Pack 1 will consist of San Diego Fire Chopper 3, Ventura County Sheriff Chopper 5, Cal Fire H903, and Santa Barbara County Fire Dept H964.

Also, if anyone hasn't caught it yet. The BAe-146 Repaint Pack for Neptune Aviation is also now on the site. OV-10 templates for the remaining fleet are also done, so I'll start on doing those soon as well. I'm thinking the DC-4s may not get much love until some time next week maybe. I've done a lot of painting over the last couple days and my eyes need a rest lol.

CAL FIRE OV-10 Fleet Completed
I have completed the current entire fleet liveries of Cal Fire's OV-10 Broncos. These will be in 2 packages. Pack 1 will have; Ramona, Hemet, Porterville, Paso Robles, Chico, and Redding in it. Pack 2 will have Ukiah, Roherville, Hollister, Sonoma, Columbia, Grass Valley, and 3 of McClellan's Broncos, an active and the 2 spares AA500 and AA505. Pack 2 will also include a 10th repaint, and that is to correct an incorrect tail number in pack 1 that I noticed. It will be a simple aircraft.cfg fix and a replacement of the old texture file with the new one. I am going to be looking them over to make sure I didn't forget something and I'll be uploading packs here and simviation on Friday I imagine.:wiggle: You'll also see AA430 in the photo, it was pointed out to me a little while ago, it was actually renumbered to AA501, so that change will also be corrected in my repaints. My reference sheet was a few years old. I was bound to miss a few things.

Aerosoft OV-10 Cal Fire livery packs uploaded to SOH!
I have uploaded both packs to SOH tonight. Pack 1 was released on Simviation several months ago and had an incorrect tail number for AA-410. Which, the fix is included in Pack 2 as is the aircraft.cfg fix to reflect that. For those eagle eyed people you'll notice the thumbnail for pack 1 has the incorrect tail number. These are the current liveries for the ENTIRE fleet of Cal Fire Broncos. Unfortunately the current 5-blade props are not represented in the Aerosoft models, nor is the single OV-10D 4-blade props on AA-505. But at least the textures are!

JBK DC-4 / C-54 Tanker Repaints Started
I have begun working on repaints for the JBK V3 DC-4 / C-54s this week. For those that don't know, the crew over at Cal Classic's had quietly converted the great DC-4s to FSX native making them flyable in P3D V4+. Also, I am working on some repaints to go along with my Hovercontrol Bell 212 and 412 Open Source version conversions for P3D v4+. (that's in the P3D discussion area). I have 2 other conversion projects that will temporarily shelve the 212/412 project, as I got permissions to modify aircraft for P3D a few weeks ago and I've only been working on those off and on. I'll be starting a thread in the P3D section for those projects as well. Which, will also have more of my repaints to go with those. I'll be announcing those projects probably right around Christmas Eve once I have modeling and textures more completed. But back to the DC-4s. I plan on doing some repaints for Aero Union, Aero-Flite, Ardco, and a few other operators of them as tankers. You can see the start of those below.
