Great news and thanks for the head up.

Thanks once again to Virtavia for their generosity.

[mrogers]

Wow, thank you Virtavia for this free gift and your generosity!

[Stickshaker]

A generous and much appreciated gesture. Thank you Virtavia!

[mgchrist5]

Excellent! Thanks to Virtavia, as always.

To enhance the Viggen, get 'viggensn.zip' from Flightsim.com, and the three repaints by Pierre Lheureux from that same site.

[awj112]

The Viggen is most welcome and if I recall, the release is a reversal of their original position; they were going to try to update and sell it I thought. Regardless, thanks all.

:salute:

I purchased both the Viggen and the Catalina about a year or so ago, they are very nice models with lotsa goodies. The PBY Cat comes in the "5" and "5a" versions and is an exceptional package. You all are gonna like these as freeware.

Been flying the Stone Catalina since he released it,
guess I'll try this one out.
Going to have to do some repainting though.

Thanks Virtavia!

echo-ing the above.... same boat here (Well, flying boat, well ok... Amphib) got to find some time from somewhere...

I see a potential renewed interest in Pierre Lheureux's repaints for the Viggen and Cat.

[Wing_Z]

I was sure there was a repaint for the NZ Cat, but I don't see any...
May be an opportunity for the repaint artists, it's a great scheme:

I paged through all 100+ PBY entries at FlightSim.com and didn't see any repaints by Pierre for the AlphaSim/Virtavia aircraft. Do you have a link, or file name(s)? There was quite a bit more available for Mike Stone's and the Aerosoft PBY's.

I've had the Alpha Cat since it first came out, and unfortunately there are not too many repaints out there. There are a few on the various sites, but none I found of the NZ Cat. Hope someone takes on that one.

Check avsim.

Would anybody know how to delete the original 'modelled' lighting on the Viggen?
This is such a nice aircraft, but was certainly in need of a new illumination treatment...:-)

[Matt Wynn]

i'm not doing anything.... anyone know which colours they use precisely?

[Terry]

There is a Buffalo paint for the Stone PBY. Be nice to have one for the Alpha.

There is a paint by Heather Sherman at Flightsim for the Alpha PBY, fictitious but really nice.

[Ferry_vO]

Well, I was fortunate to crawl through the real thing (You won't believe how cramped it is!) and get a few shots, so...

[Matt Wynn]

why is it i ALWAYS get sidetracked?! *sighs* oh well, it's a break from the norm i 'spose .... ignore the KLU (Koninklijke Luchtmacht)roundel on upper wing it's there on the paintkit and i haven't started the wings.... tailplane.... then markings.... sheesh a lot of work repainters have to do when you think about it....

Hi, Matt. Not sure if this will help, but this site has some references to the colours.

Very nice shots, Ferry... I have tried that repaint on me copy of the Alpha Viggen, but when I go to the spot view, all of the scenery gets fuzzy. It eventually recovers but takes it about 30 - 40 seconds. An anolomy I have never been able to resolve.:isadizzy:
