Wanted:Early (MKI-MKII-MKIV) real air spitfire repaint

**brad32gtr617** · May 2nd, 2009, 05:51

just wanted to know if anyone knows where i can get what is specified
The pack is REALAIRs fsx spitfire.
thanks.

I've never seen one and I guess it's unlikely that anyone has made Mk 1 paints for the IX and XIV in the RealAir package. A2A does a quite old but very good Mk 1a for FSX - it only comes with one paint scheme but there are a few others here and at Avsim.

thanks very much

Yeah the A2A MkI is awesome, and I often find my self flying that one over the RealAir version due to the blazing framerates you get with it.

**IanP** · May 3rd, 2009, 02:05

I'll join the list of people recommending the A2A Spitfire I - it's a seriously nice aircraft.

**Barvan40** · May 3rd, 2009, 07:53

The A2A Sptifire Mk.1 for FSX certainly looks like the real deal.

***SpaceWeevil*** · May 3rd, 2009, 09:47

Looks sweet, sounds sweet, flies sweet - please please PLEASE AccuSim it!

The model was originally part of the FS9 WWII fighters set and later released as a single model. There is a free fix at the A2A site to make it FSX compatible or even native FSX.

There are repaints done by John 'Bomber_12th' Terell, Stephan 'Epsllon' Pillon, Tony 'TonyG' Greenfeld and last but definitely not least Brian 'RobH' Hill. (Excuses, if I did forget sombody.)

The model is quite nice and the only early Spitfire which has all the FSX options. In FS9 I prefer the AH/Justflight Spitfire, which has a more accurate cockpit.

Cheers,
Huub

thanks but where do i get these repaints from ive tried avsim and flightsim.com and by the way im using fs9 now, any repaints for the just flight spitfire?, any malta spitfires??

The repaints for the A2A Spitfire are here at SOH - well most of them anyway. Just click the 'Add-Ons Archive' button at the top of this page and search for the authors' names (from Huub's post) under 'Choose Author Name - Archive Library' and you should find them. Look for Letsgetrowdy too, he's done a nice paint of the Shuttleworth Collection Spitfire 1a.

Edit - props to Huub, quicker AND more helpful!

**brad32gtr617** · March 18th, 2010, 09:23

thanks very much i will try and find the Clive Caldwell repaint from various sites, would it do any good to have a look on this one?? oh and by the way any MKVb spitfires out there and any malta spitfires also and this is a long shot but its worth a try, has anyone done Geoff Wellums 92sq spit yet?

**letsgetrowdy** · March 18th, 2010, 10:45

Hey Brad,
for the A2A bird I did these from the ficticious "Hornet Squadron"

If this the kind of thing you mean?

**jeansy** · March 18th, 2010, 13:01

ive done 4 which are over at ozx, sorry no link as im late for work

***huub vink*** · March 18th, 2010, 15:14

Bruno “Brunosk” Escaravage did some very nice Malta Spitfires for CFS2. which works in FS9. Sopwith Cameleon and RobH did some excellent repaints for these models as well.

They can be found here at the SOH in the file archive.

Cheers,
Huub

**peter12213** · March 18th, 2010, 16:24

Personally I love both the Real Air and A2A Spitfire but If I had to pick one it would be the A2A one, luckily I was able to get Bob Rivera's addon prop textures too which look just amazing and really make a differance to the look of this aircraft!

First of all, the A2A spit is outstanding but it is still missing a few things. Such as repaints for some american squadrons and the eagle squadron.
I am also having some trouble with the repaints that are avaible dont show right. I was wondering if anybody was able to get to work with FSX? I seem to be getting an all black aircraft. How can get them to work?

***huub vink*** · June 30th, 2010, 21:49

Hammer353, the FSX version uses different file names.

The fs9 version names are spit1.bmp, spit2.bmp, spit3.bmp and spit4.bmp. To use them in FSX you have to rename them into spit1_t.bmp, spit2_t.bmp, spit3_t.bmp and spit4_t.bmp.
Almost all repaints are done for the FS9 version, therefore in most cases you will have to rename the textures.

When you want to use them in DTX5 dds format you need to flip them as well.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Huub

***SpaceWeevil*** · June 30th, 2010, 23:02

And one more thing - make sure you copy the texture.cfg file from the original texture folder (texture.rdc) to any new texture folders you make, otherwise bits of the Spit will be blank. Each new repaint folder just needs the 4 texture files that Huub lists, plus the texture.cfg.

**hammer353** · July 1st, 2010, 09:31

Ok, i did what huub said with the renameing the texture files & adding the texture.cfg. but it still shows up as an all black aircraft. I am doing something wrong?

***huub vink*** · July 1st, 2010, 13:35

Hammer353, can you post your aircraft.cfg file and a screenshot of one of the texture folders which doesn't show up?

Below an example of how it should look like with textures in bmp format.

Re Rail Air - i think it was Bob who also created a better texture for the pilot who looks a bit pale otherwise.
