    Thanks very much Milton and crew. Yet more masterpieces, and for FREE! Unbelievable!

    You guys really give flight simming a good name.

    Cheers,

    TERRIFIC!...



    Thank you Milton and all involved.

    It's going to be awhile, as I don't have a ton of free time at the moment, but little by little it will get done. Right now I'm working on getting the top camo lined up, figuring out where the wing root paint gets applied, all of the cowl paint locations, the alpha, etc. Then I'll move to the bottom of the fuselage where the paint wraps around at the tail. Once I have all of the paint completed, I'll begin designing the markings. Once I have them designed I'll apply them to the model. Then I'll probably do a Pengie Paint scheme on the XP-72.

    Thank you Mr. Shupe, these aircraft are truly works of art. Simply put: outstanding! Thank you again.

    Hey, great to hear you are enjoying these products. The team did great on the paints, sounds, flight models, etc. Love when it all comes together for you.

    Working on another classic twin radial right now. Looking really nice already.

    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.

    Thanks Milton,

    When I'm back from travel, I'll get the native '72, which of all of this series, is my favourite. That long tapered radial cowl, close-cropped to a large faired spinner is a thing of beauty, so while I've enjoyed it in its portover form, the native version is much appreciated as I'm contemplating a P3D migration in the near term.

    I'll add that Steve Bryant (Duckie) did a gorgeous repaint (NACA 029) for FS9 that I anticipate will work fine on the new version. That's the only one I fly it in, but if memory serves he did a few repaints for this family of releases that folks with other interests will want to look at.

    Thanks Milton and team, and Steve for the past and future paints that may arrive.

    Can't wait to fly this ....

    Perhaps I missed something, but has the XP-47H been released yet ?

    Thanks very much for the XP-72 and XP-47J ...

    The XP-72 is definitely a stout flyer. Big, heavy and FAST. I remember testing this one out for FS9 and what a real kick she was to fly, so.... I have added this one to the short list of very few addons that I have for my FSX install. Thanks Milton!

    OK, I need help, besides the obvious. Look at the silver rectangular on the wing root by the flaps. I can't find where that is located, so if anyone knows, I would appreciate it. Then I can finish the markings and get this out.

    Duckie did the awesome graphics on the XP47H inside and outside.

    Not sure if he is available for some bumps and specs but the aircraft is set up to support them.

    The Republic Experimentals are the next in the queue for FSX native conversion - the XP47H, XP47J, and XP72.

    Here are a few captures of the "H" now converted.
    Well if Duckie did the skins, they are awesome.

    Now was that airplane ever operational in the military? If not, why not?

    Wow, how did I miss this ?
    Thanks Mr Shupe!

    Thanks Milton, due to how straight the edges were I thought it was elsewhere and I had moved the paint "down" far enough fuselage wise. Now I can get this finished.
    Once I get that area painted I just have to paint the rudder, finish adjusting the alpha, then complete the markings and it will be released. I plan on using the markings for Ugly Duck ATM.

    Hi Eric,

    Duckie did the skins for the XP47H while Nigel did the skins for the XP47J and XP72.

    All of their work is top shelf.

    A small run of P-47Ms followed the -47D on the production line, but it is desirable before discussing this to account for the designation gaps.

    The XP-47E with pressurised cockpit has been mentioned above, as has the P-47G which was the designation of the Curtiss-built P-47D;

    one P-47B was used to test the installation of laminar-flow wings as the XP-47F;

    and the XP-47H designation covered two P-47Ds in which new 2,300 hp (1715 kW) Chrysler XIV-2220-1 inline engines were installed to give higher performance, overall length being increased by 3 ft 0 1/4 in (0.92 m) in comparison with the P-47D. This version did not materialise in production form, however, as the Chrysler engine was not put into production.

    Far more radical was the XP-47J (no use was made of an I designation) which introduced a closely-cowled fan-cooled R-2800-61 engine rated at 2,100 hp (1 566 kW), and provided with a wing of lighter weight which incorporated six 12.7 mm (0.50 in) machine-guns.
    First flown on 26 November 1943, this experimental aircraft was the first piston-engined machine to exceed a speed of 500 mph (805 km/h) in level flight, attaining 504 mph (811 km/h) on 4 August 1944, but despite this sparkling performance production plans were abandoned in favour of an even more advanced project designated XP-72.

    The XP-47K has been mentioned above, and the XP-47L resulted from structural changes in a P-47D to provide greater internal fuel capacity.

    Hi Milton,

    Can I send you the texture? Because I've painted that area and even lower on the fuselage and it is still showing as silver.

    I just ran a test painting only that area on the original template red.

    See the attached zip for a copy of that template to test with.

    The area I'm trying to paint isn't the end of the flap area, it's the horizontal portion next to it that is part of wing root. No matter how far down the fuselage I paint, there's a silver rectangular patch there. In your picture, it would be the little blue patch between the red at the end of the flap housing and the jagged red lines you see bleeding to the right of the patch I'm talking about.
