It is just done so for fun. because I still work on the Tigercat panels

Hallo,

At first I will see to finish and to release my Tigercat panels.
Than perhaps I will have a second look on the Lodestar 2d panel.
I might be that I resize the whole cockpit to get more out of it.
What I must see to find enough gauges to make all the overhead switches avaible and functional.
And also it depends a bit if some more people would be interested.

Happy landings
Yours
Michael "Papi" Vader

Hi there,
First KLM West Indies (again! ), NZNAC and ML-KNIL (Royal Dutch East Indies Army Air Force) are also on my to-do list.
Cheers,
Maarten

NAC - woohoo. Will be waiting for that one Maarten.

[Maarten -]

Awesome paint, Stuart!

NAC - woohoo. Will be waiting for that one Maarten.

When I have finished the KLM paint (feat. PJ-AKA and PJ-AKB) real life will have priority for a few weeks, after which I'll attempt to make the NAC paint.

Cheers,
Maarten

Lodestar Updates for the L-18s and C-57 and C-60A

Models replacement folders for all models

Changes include:

1) Exhaust headers now can be textured from the winginner bmp

2) Props have been mapped so the front and rear faces are separately textured
on the parts_t.bmp

3) Parts.bmp changed to parts_t.bmp to allow alpha channel to shine the prop
blades, like for chrome.

4) engine and brake bmps adjusted but no change for you to do

5) Pilot textures for the military pilots of the C60A. The C60A is a paratroop transport and no longer has a

civilian pilot. You will need to repaint the military pilot textures for a civilian livery or use the L-18 Wright engine version.

I uploaded this the other day but not sure I posted the link.
EDIT: Just found I did post this in post#1788. :-) But I added the C60A military pilot textures to this one.

The inner door was put onto the cabin sides sheet and the bench onto the inner seats texture a while back... have a look back in the thread for the mapping updates.

Great to see the on going progress of the Lodestar and the repaints... Awesome!
I'm in Viennia at this moment, just arrived after the long journey from Hongkong.
Maarten, I would've helped by posting a color photo of a NAC Lodestar, for you to look at, but I can't help as the picture would have to be scanned from a book and it is at home back in NZ.

[mrogers]

Awesome paintkit Firekitten, thanks, it will be very useful I am sure.

[Milton Shupe]

Martial, oh wow! Really love your work on this one ... very impressive.

The answer to your questions are shown in the attached. Thank you :-)

Kia Ora Mark,

Thank you!
I'm not in a hurry since I won't be able to do any paintwork until the end of the month. At this moment I am applying the finishing touches (details) for the two KLM West Indies Division Lodestars. Precision work since I have to re-rivet those places where I have put paint on. Hopefully I can release both in one package by Saturday.
I'll wait doing the NAC Lodestar(s?) till you're back home.

Cheers,
Maarten

The paintjob of KLM West Indisch Bedrijf's (= West Indies Division) Lockheed C-60A-5-LO Lodestar PJ-AKA is ready now and the paint is drying. Probably tomorrow (August 6) the paintjob of sistership PJ-AKB will be finished too, after which I can upload both in one package at SOH's Warbird Library. So far it has been a huge pleasure to do this job using Rachael "Firekitten" Whiteford's awesome paint kit.

Cheers,
Maarten

Kia Ora Maarten, I won't be back home till early October, so it'll be a long wait!
I like your repaints of the KLM west indies Lodestars, thought it was such a waste to throw them into the sea just like that.
I see that there has been some model updates made, so I'll have a bit of work to do when I come back and update my vc cockpit textures to fit in with the updates.

[Maarten -]

Hi there,

The all new repaints for the Lockheed model 18 Lodestar (Wright R-1820 engines) featuring KLM West Indisch Bedrijf PJ-AKA and PJ-AKB, based on Firekitten's fabulous Lodestar paintkit incl. Mark Rogers' ditto interior textures, have just been uploaded. After approval they will be available at SOH only as long as the Lodestar is still a "work in progress". (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...8&linkid=20008)
My initial repaints, based on Andre Reimers' bare metal textures have been withdrawn from SOH's Warbirds Library. Until that moment 112 downloads of this preliminary repaint package had taken place.
Enjoy!

Cheers,
Maarten

[Maarten -]

The new KLM Lodestar repaints are available now. Thank you to all involved in this great Lodestar project.

[Milton Shupe]

The Harpoon interior has been finalized thanks to the awesome work of Firekitten; thank you very much.

Now I can begin the final preparations to ready the package for beta testing.

Will do my best to get the beta out this weekend.

Thanks Rachel
