Perhaps not yet finished but I already like it

Huub

I just need too sort out a couple of bits and it will be done. I have completed the winter scheme apart from the paperwork. Will upload them over the next couple of days.

I have spent the last few hours on this one.

I really like that color on this one Steve; really nice livery.

Milton,

What is considered as a bug in the FSX version happens to me in FS9 also. The weight of the internal and external transport tank is always in the fuel table no matter whether the tanks are selected in the load out panel or not. I have saved a flight without the extra tanks as default which currently solves the problem for me.

I hope this makes some sense......

Cheers,
Huub

Yes, it does. Thank you. If Spokes2112 ever returns, maybe we can get these issues resolved. If not, I will come up with some fix or work-around.

[Seahawk72s]

That's not struggling - it's called winning!

Awesome work, Huub. :-)

I second that... Your work is reaching a state of art...., many thanks..!

[Milton Shupe]

Just look at your A-20's now Milton.... I remember when you first made mention of the A-20 Project, nearly 2 years ago... the Harpoons and Lodestars were in the final stages of development and the A-20 Havoc was just being laid out on the drawing board. Even in her still almost pre-beta condition, many have stepped up to the plate to help bring her to where she is now. A plethora of repaints from very talented folks and a very promising new feature in the weight and distribution (load out) panel. Not to mention a solid flight model, incredible sounds, awesome paints that come with the package and a very use-able VC... something all of your planes are famous for.

It helps when the community steps in and adds to an already extraordinary project like the A-20, and I believe that support will always be at your side for FS9, as well as FSX so, as "Rosy the Riveter" says: Keep em' Flying!

Ok.. I'll step off me soap box now.

Thank you. I always say, my work is nothing until the sound and texture artists bring it to life. For that, I am most appreciative.

The project was actually stated in Dec 2015, was on hold for a while to finish up other projects, and many projects have been done and released in the interim.

Here are some project screenies from Dec 2015 thru June 2016.

Here is a WIP of my last C model scheme.
That leaves me with 4 C models and a couple or three of G models in the paint shack.

You're building up an awesome fleet there, Steve. :-)

Another beautiful WIP SteveB.

Have you officially uploaded any skins yet, and if so where. I have people asking for "C" paints. Could not find yours in the FS9 library.

I reckon this is going to be a fav desert camo for me.

Cheers,

Thank you gentlemen. This project has been a labor of love for me. First thing I am going to do when I finish it, is find some suitable desert scenery somewhere (if anyone knows of one) and see how well it blends in - :-)

I normally fly from Beirut intl too Damascus it's a short hop over the hills into the desert. I use this flight too test all my desert cam's.

Hi Wellis.
I just remembered If you have Lionhearts Operation Valkerie pack there are a number of Axis bases both air and Army Panzer units for you too strafe in North Afrika.
Also some Uboat bases too bomb. I'm going too dig out my copy and install it in anticipation of your cammo scheme.

For a couple of U.S. Pacific bases there is the old Donationware corsair pack, they may be fighter bases but I have flown C47's from them in the past.

Steve

[Milton Shupe]

I got my eyes crossed when writing general operational stuff in the installation and read me docs.


Here's what it should have read:


Takeoff: 50% flaps are required for heavily loaded takeoff. Set elevator trim to 5 degrees up; otherwise no flaps required for normal loads with appropriate take off distance.
Takeoff power: 52"/2600 RPMs
Climbout: 47" Map, 2400 RPMs
Normal Cruise: 34.5" Map, 2100 RPMs (varies with altitude)
Econo-Cruise: 30" Map, 1700 RPMs

Thank you sir for the information--I will check them out..! I'll also check the Damascus flight out. The screen shots were taken in the higher elevations of Algeria, so they are greener than I anticipated. :-)

[huub vink]

When you don't have the Valkerie scenery there is a "light" alternative. In our library you can can find Robert Sanderson's Hurricane IID. The model is already worth the download, as its great model, is designed to be flown "by the book" and has quite some very neat features.

However the model comes with a (very) small RAF forward base and a some German tanks for target practice (below some images)

Cheers,
Huub
