C-97 BETA now available for download!

[DaveQ]

Yup, there are plans for an AI version.

TacPack fliers can contact me for an as yet unofficial TacPacked version.

DaveB, improved VOR navigation is in the works.

DaveQ, yes I'm interested in your plain paintkit version and stencils. As you have noticed, there are some mirrored surfaces.

Here is pretty much the finished article.





Manfred - if you let me know where to send it I can send you the stencil layers; the metal shading will take longer as I'll have to prepare 4 sets (normal, alpha, sec and spec alpha)

DaveQ, nice job. Great minds think alike! Here's the interpretation of the plain vanilla wrapper I've been tinkering with!

[DaveB]

That looks nice Steve

Thanks Dave. Here's a WIP

Thanks Dave. Here's a WIP

As an AI or another livery to add. This looks nice. Be glad when the C97 comes out. Then I'll bet the repaints will roll out like crazy.....

[jankees]

Ha, that was the last one I wanted to do!
Note however the relation between the prop line and the text US AIR FORCE:

(something I only noticed yesterday...)

Yep - that's one reason why I did a new stencil set...!

Now if Manfred remove the boom and add FRU pods..... Jankees repaint will look even better!

Absolutely correct. That's why the caption WIP. All new stencils for this one as well. But no intention to publish a paint kit just the textures as correct as I can get the them. Also note the the absence of the red belly stripe along with a few other things which I'm sure you both have noticed. Anyway, Jankees I enjoy your work very much, and DaveQ, I'm looking forward to your paint kit.

hahahahaha.. yes.. it's a bit restrictive for us Brits too without having a basket to aim at. I'm not sure if any of out aircraft can accept a boom!!

Almost finished with the base layer PK, if anyone is still interested. No stencils, no markings, just the base for those who want to paint over top. will be available soon as PS PSD's. A fresh canvas if you will....

Packaging it up for upload later this evening.

very nice!!

[usafvet]

I love these new textures. I know some are holding out for the '97L but many were using the G as a lead up. Thanks to all for the ANG versions, looking for more... (sorry, just greedy) I love flying this aircraft.

[Duckie]

very nice!!

Thank you very much, Jankees.

I'm with you usafvet. These new textures are awesome and more are coming, including another paint kit (from DaveQ) in addition to the one from MJ and Team, as well as the one from Rick.

Looks good dmq, but I think the blue US Insignia, and lettering looks slightly faded ( may be the effect you are looking for) but nice to see a left coast bird. And thanks Duckie, like the Montana bird, with the new prop warning line. I hope the AI will use the outside textures of these aircraft, will be nice to see them lined up....

[DaveQ]

Here's the natural metal shaded one. A bit plain Jane but looks quite realistic. Uploaded here and Flightsim.com as usual.



DaveQ

PS - I've opted for a black US AIR FORCE - seems to fit with natural metal but I could be wrong....!

[Duckie]

I like it!

Duckie,

Sorry to bother you but did you have chance to upload the livery with playing cards onto SOH download center? If so, I seem to be unable to find. A link or specific word for keyword search would be appreciated so that I can download your livery.

Thanks,

Aharon

[Aharon]

Can any talented please please please be kind enough to paint this livery as seen below for KC-97? Thanks. IAF first used that livery for KC-97 but switched to no name livery later.





Thanks a zillion.

Sorry, Aharon, but I have not. I went back and revisited a couple of textures I was not happy with but it will be done today. Just watch this thread and I'll say went it's done. Thank you for asking.

With a huge thanks to Bill (WND) and Marc, we now have a much improved Nav section. Picture shows me (me!!) flying toward Inverness using VOR1, VOR2, ADF and AP Navlock. The VOR gauge is an adapted version from the default Cessna 208B. It will be available as Patch2 soon.

[Aharon]

Sorry, Aharon, but I have not. I went back and revisited a couple of textures I was not happy with but it will be done today.

Thanks for update. Please take time!! No hurry. I thought I must have missed the uploaded livery in the SOH download center.

Once again, thanks for answer.

Regards,

Aharon

[Duckie]

OK, its uploaded. Should be available soon. Sorry for the delay.
