    Why is it, that floating about in the back of my mind, there's this vaguely detatched reference to,"fanning the flames....?"

    Pass the olives and the ouzo, please.

    My Avia 51 amphibian has gray/white tires, all the other models are black. Is it supposed to be this way? If not will someone please fix the texture?

    Thanks Terry

    Ah, looks like the alpha channel got hosed up.

    Attached is a corrected texture for the pontoons.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Thanks for that! I had been meaning to fix that for myself but never got around to it...

    The Avia 56 Is Uploaded and Available

    The Avia 56 Project for MSFS2004/FS9 ACof - VERSION 1.0

    by Milton Shupe, Nigel Richards, and Matt Wynn, with contributions by Bill Ortis and Oleboy with help from SOH members.

    Functional VC model included; Pkg incl seven Aircraft models (wheels, floats, amphibs, skis) with 13 textures, a great flight model, authentic and awesome radial custom sounds, custom panels, easy-to-read clickable virtual cockpits, and superbly crafted exterior and interior textures.

    This aircraft release is one in series of real world Avia aircraft designed by Czech engineer Robert Nebesar. The first was the Avia 51 and 156. This Avia 56 was a prototype that was changed because of engine availability, and became the 156. The next and last aircraft in the series is the Avia 57, a 14-passenger, 3-engine monoplane currently under development.

    Technical/Consulting: Moses03, Michal Beran, Tomáš Rusek - consultant, John Smith (Hurricane91) - research assistance - metric panel repaint, Michal Plavec - Curator of the Aviation Collection National Technical Museum, Prague, R. Berger, Karel Kriz - Newspaper and poster materials.

    NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN FSX, BUT TESTED IN SP2 ACCEL DX9 AS A PORTOVER. THERE IS A FOLDER WITH FSX UPDATES FOR EACH AIRCRAFT SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO TRY IT THERE. NOT SUPPORTED.

    Sneek peek here: http://www.flightsimonline.com/Avia56/

    The Upload is now approved and available: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...=6&linkid=5698

    Thank you Milton & crew for another superb product. Your spirit and effort, and that of everyone else who labored long and hard on this project, as on so many others, are what make SOH and flightsimming special. Well done, sir!

    Got mine and all I can say is HOLY COW!

    I loaded Oympic Spirit at Skagway. Before I started the engine I took about 10 minutes just to admire the exterior. I changed time of day several times just to get some different lighting reflections and WOW!

    Then, THEN I started the engine! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! LOL! I restarted the engine several times just to listen! Like vintage Bonnie Raitt or Delbert McClinton I just played it over and over again!

    Congratulations folks on a most outstandind little jewel. Mighty fine work,

    Thank you one and all!

    Steve
