Lots of Curtiss Jenny Textures now available.

Just downloaded a few beautiful repaints from the Ford tri-motor site for the Curtiss Jenny (Birdman, Lindbergh, DVFC).

Noticed all Virtual Cockpits have brown padding in VC view, but the aircraft exterior views show blue padding in cockpit.

Is there a way this can be fixed, perhaps via the aircraft config somehow ?

I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. His work on the Jenny is amazing and I'm sure will be enjoyed by many future generations of virtual flyers.

Dear Warwick,

You should visit us more often. Gary passed, more than a year ago, on the 25th of October 2016.

It was announced here at the SOH in several forums: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...ther-FS-Legend

Best regards,
Huub

Glad to hear you are still around. We sure did loose some icons over the years and I'm afraid the flightsim community isn't getting much younger.

For those who want Gary's repaints for the Curtiss Jenny, they are still available here:

It seems that the Ford Tri-motor site put out all the repaints for the Jenny that I could find.

Anyone know where I can download this 'Jenny' repaint with the checkered tail, but without all of the 'Circus' logos/advertising ?

Check your PM's.

[MZee1960]

Thank-you, very much for the links @grayeagle. I just downloaded them.



This red paint suits her very well ....... but I didn't much care for the "Circus" advertising on the original version. Most of the other repaints in the file 'jenny11' , I already had, but thank-you for the update.

Cheers,
Milan.

Has anybody done an FSX Native conversion of the old MS Jenny? I liked flying it in FSX/P3D v3 but since moving to V4 I miss it.

[huub vink]

From my memory, there should be at least two and most likely three. One done by Dirk Stuck, which is available at Flightsim.com (filename : curtiss-1.zip). I'm not sure whether the Jenny by David Grindele is fully FSX native. This one is available at Flightsim.com as well (filename : jenny11.zip).

Craig "full" Richardson did a full native FSX version of the Jenny, but I don't know whether that one is still available somewhere.

Cheers,
Huub

Some years ago I uploaded Michal Putu's FsX model files here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...tid=34&id=4793

You need the Fs9 Jenny initially though.

Thanks Roger that did the trick!

I dropped Michal Putu's model into David Grindele's update (filename : jenny11.zip) and I am flying again. Only other update I had to do was turn the tail skid into a wheel so it would move on the runway and its ready to go (I had to do the same fix in V3). Three of the textures did not work so I had to remove them but other than that its all working.

On a side note I noticed Craig Richardson's 'www.classicwings.net' site is down, which is disappointing as I know I visited it not that long ago.
