Any advice is appreciated. Thanks fellas :ernae:

**PilatusTurbo** · November 30th, 2009, 12:53

Thanks for all the help, fellas. I tried yours Claudius, but they wanted me to join. :d I got it from Oleboy, as you suggested.

Thanks again mates. That's why this is my online Sim Home. :d :ernae:

Hi,

Rapidshare tips

Thanks for all the help, fellas. I tried yours Claudius, but they wanted me to join

If Rapîdshare ask you to join after had choised the free download option it's because all the free slots are busy
You have to retry later.

Thanks Markus,

Now I get you. I had actually intended to develop the paint to include the "Leaping Milo" dog logo on the outside of each nacelle because the size and configuration of those two big hair dryers block view of the nose art from certain angles and we can't have that ! Nonetheless I'm grappling with too much dog or not enough, and now your suggestion which I also like and so adopted.

So how about now? Original nacelles or the new doggie ones? Either way the red intake covers are staying.

Release your inner critic!

Regards,
Randy

Now that's a very good reason to keep those doggies on the nacelles!
I also like the the combination "dog at the cheatline's front end" to be repeated on the cowlings.

My inner critic?
Okay - just one little thing I can't clearly identify on your screenies:

Did you set the framelines of this (avionics?) access panel ("Lines" layer in the paint kit) above the dog logo? To me it seems like those lines currently are interrupted by the dog, but I think they had to be visible "through" the decal.

Cheers,
Markus.

Your inner critic is right Markus. Actually there were other parts of the fuselage and tail similarly afflicted. I'll post the fixed shots later today.

You know, my favourite high school teacher used to say, "Works of art aren't finished, they're abandoned." I don't know that I'd characterize my work as "art", but I hear his voice every time I do a repaint.

As if we needed it, yet again more proof that speaking your plans aloud is the best way to hear the Gods laugh.

Lines now appear where they should. Hopefully this screen shot will show that, although sunlight on that white fuselage is washing out the lines a bit. They're quite obvious from where I sit anyway. Here's the latest paint on what is, indeed, among the finest freeware addons I've experienced to date. Incredible visual impact in all views in exchange for very small impact on frame rates.

**Wild Bill Kelso** · December 21st, 2009, 08:04

Now that looks great, mate!

Shame on me - one thing I just discovered on your last screenie is the slightly "worn" prop blade. Looking close to it, you can imagine the amount of unpaved air strips this aircraft operates on.

I missed this nice detail before...

Cheers,
Markus.

**TigerPackLeader** · December 21st, 2009, 08:12

Thanks Markus. I wish I could take credit for the worn prop blade. The entire paint kit offers options for varying degrees of wear and tear, and dirt and grime, on the airframe. Another example of freeware that just impresses the hell out of me.

I've still got a few tweaks to make on textures for other parts of this bird before releasing it, but nearly there. Then it'll be abandoned ... I mean finished!

Compliments of the Season,
Randy

Breguet 765 at flightsim.com, br765_sahara.zip.
Just in case it was missed

**T6flyer** · December 31st, 2009, 03:35

All those aeroplane built by Dave Molyneaux. Not just known for his wonderful Austers (and having sampled all of the real life versions, they are very very accurate!), but the likes of the Miles Messenger and Gemini and the Percival Prospector too.

All can be found at:

Happy Landings,

Martin

**stewpot** · January 7th, 2010, 05:27

The textures on the Simshed Wessex are the best I've seen on any FS 9 aircraft.

**mgchrist5** · January 9th, 2010, 23:13

All those aeroplane built by Dave Molyneaux

Agreed, especially when it comes to the AOP9! All of the major CBFS products will have a permanent place on my FS9 setup...particuarly the BAC 1-11, Comet, HS.748, and Trident. It's hard to believe they're freeware sometimes.

**CrisGer** · January 10th, 2010, 10:21

Who can forget the still amazing Falcon 50 by Yannick Lavigne, Fred Banting, and Rob Young. Originally designed for FS2002 and updated for FS2004. Still a beauty after all these years. The FS2004 update is kinda hard to find but here's a good copy.

can't find this, the link for this is gone

can anyone share a working linkey? i can find the 2002 version but not the FS9

**Z-claudius24** · January 10th, 2010, 12:59

**VPL Paolo Lao** · January 22nd, 2010, 10:40

Thanks for that one Jan!

Nice one Jan, and for some top notch freeware airports (and other scenery collected) for New Zealand to fly your fletchers from see here

**Hurricane91** · January 29th, 2010, 12:53

The Ilyushin Il-28/28U by Jan Moravec would seem to qualify as a gem. In addition to a pilots vc, the Il-28 has a nice navigators cockpit with a few instuments. The 28U has a forward cockpit with a main panel (also clickable). They each have a very basic rear gunner position, nice for rear views. Animations for the RATO, bomb bay etc. Fully ports to FSX.

I have to amend that to; "Ports well to FSX". There are some minor texture issues, and one sound file problem.

**Wild Bill Kelso** · January 30th, 2010, 09:10

Thanks for the HU, Jan! :ernae:

This is exactly the aircraft I need to explore my just discovered environment low & slowly...

Just can't stand any more snow around!

Definately not one of the prettiest aircraft available, but an honest hard worker for sure...

Cheers,
Markus.

Having read all the way through these freeware gems, I don't recall anyone recommending the Veneavionnes Turbo Commander. A superb twin turboprop on the same level of excellence as the Allied Flightsim Group Super King Air 300. Beautiful inside and out.
