    Regarding your two paint schemes on the remapped tail versions, if I can do those two models easily, I will do them. All future paints then would have the benefit of the revisions made.
    I personally wouldn't want the original version changed and have almost all the repaints for that one.

    I'll rework with bumps/spec on the revised models and add N4363F, N277X plus the other two.

    Flap detail that I have... would like to add the metal strips and screws.



    This will give an idea with bumps added...

    LOL Actually, the Howard 500 was built for FS9 and converted to FS8 for the many users of that at the time. I did the same with the D18S and a few others once I started building for FS9.

    Found the original Paint Kit for the Howard 500 thanks to Willy. :-)

    Here is a link to Com-Central's pack of 37 liveries for the Howard 500 - Members only.
    Liveries are setup for the original so they will need to be changed to mirror the aircraft.cfg [fltsim.nn] sections for the new release.
    Over half of the liveries are already in WIP package, those done by team members over the years.
    Since I already have 18 paints included, I did not see a need to add more. But if you are interested, and a member, go for it.

    http://www.com-central.net/index.php...details&id=290


    Wellis, Willy, Maj Kong and I are doing some testing and I hope we can get this out before too much longer.

    Can anyone identify the original authors of these two paints? There were no identifying docs in the paints I have.

    Milton, I was under the impression that D-ITPP was done by one of the guys at Com Central.

    Strange there was no doc on it, at least that I can find.

    Willy's TWA livery has been rocking my system today, and Damian's Coastal Command, Blue, and N500DR paints. Great stuff!!

    Thank You, Milton. Got the file.

    Looking forward to this conversion. The Howard 500 has always been my favorite twin. I've seen N500HP at Oshkosh a few times, and it is a beautiful aircraft, in person.

    Off to find a couple textures you are showing that I don't have. The TWA, and the Alaska Forestry schemes I seem to be missing. Thought I had all of them.

    TWA and Alaskan Forrestry are not in that pack.
    TWA is "incoming" from Willy.

    I picked up the other many years ago but not sure where; had to be Flightsim, Avsim, or Simviation.

    If you cannot find it, I'll send it to you.

    I just finished checking Flightsim and Avsim, no luck.

    Turns out I had the CC pack, over in my FSX batch. Was looking in my FS9 one. Have 35 FSX textures installed, and 47 in FS9. I also have the updated tail model and TuFun's paints for it.

    Since I fly P3Dv4 exclusively now, an FSX native Howard 500 will be fantastic.

    Anyways if your willing the cowl should be shorter, but the exhaust deflectors or what ever there called should be longer and the side one lower on the nacelles below the wing root.
    Would like to be able to detail the are below the wings on the nacelles with the proper art work. Also the flaps. A wish lists but it's entirely up to you.

    Example:





    P.S. I went digging and found all my psd files from 6 years ago just in case.

    EDIT: Defiantly want to take a crack at this one. Lots pin striping in this one.



    Again on my WOW factor meter running 1 to 10, this is definitely a 15+. I think the aircraft with the tan-coloured nacelles appeared on the cover of "FLYING" magazine 20 or 30 years back! great article! I referred to my copy of "The Aircraft of the World" (1965 edition) just to have a look at the Mod-Shops around at that time: there were quite a few- Oakland Centaurus (Executive PV-2 Harpoon),
    On Mark (Marksman A-Executive Douglas B26 mod.), PacAero (Learstar-Lodestar Executive Conversion), PacAir(Tradewind-beautifully proportioned single-tailed, tri-gear Beach 18 with panoramic windows and modified windscreen), Rausch(Star 250, similar to Tradewind but with raised roof line), Smith(Tempo II-very highly modified Douglas B26 executive aircraft), etc. There were also various executive versions of the Martin B26, and the Douglas A20. All with spectacular paint-work and incredible performance. What a time!! Thanks again Milton, and all concerned.

    Catboat, that was undoubtedly quite the publication. Wow!

    I guess it did not have the Howard 350, one I am working with now. :-)

    Temporary textures. Just working on the fuselage right now.

    Note the swept windshield framework, side windows, and more sleek nose and tail section.
    Side windows will be tinted.

    Beautiful!



    Most Howards I found thus far didn't have that walkway painted in that fashion. Only the N500HP seems to have that pattern.

    Examples...

    Interesting to see the broken top line as the same as N4362F

    There was two covers on this bird. Flying 1976, 1993.

    Anyone notice the similarity between the Howard 500 and the Lockheed Lodestar? Profile views especially.

    The Howard 500 was PV-1 based whereas the Howard 250-350 were Lodestar L-18 based.

    The 350 I'm playing with now is from a concept drawing done for a customer that became the Howard 350. I intend to keep this one purely conceptual in design with some design changes to accommodate ease of construction.

    I have used the Howard 500 as the basis for the fuselage, reshaped and rebuilt it.

    Haven't decided what to do with the engines yet, round or turbine.

    But, this is where I am now with the 350, a tail dragger.
