Many thanks Peter!

Thanks for the feedback. I thought there would be no cabin, but I don't really miss cabins in most models so that is not an issue. I would agree re the Heron which is very good indeed. Interesting or curious that there are no mixture controls. Well when I am finished flogging around in the Mallard might be time to do the Dove.

**DaveB** · January 29th, 2016, 01:47

The Dove didn't need mixture controls, the engines being supercharged and fuel injected

Just checking to see If there is any in repaints being done. For the Dove&Devon.

**peterwatkins2** · February 5th, 2016, 12:36

Currently working on a Sea Devon - XK895 when painted as a Admiral's barge, based at HMS Daedalus(RNAS Lee-on-Solent).

Apologies for the green roof aerial on the right of the canopy but the aerial is texture mapped to the right upper wing root so there is a choice, either a green aerial or a white bar across the wing root! You would perhaps be forgiven for thinking that the texture mapping was done deliberately to p*ss off painters but personally I believe it is lack of attention to detail as the Sea Devon paint include in the JF package has one white aerial and one grey aerial!
Oh well, carry on regardless.

There is a patch coming which addresses a few minor bugs and customer comments. This "lack of attention to detail"will be addressed in that.

**DaveB** · February 5th, 2016, 12:49

Don't forget the missing AE under the LH wing!

Hats off for sticking with it Peter. It'll be welcome despite the glitches

Several of the posts re the discussion of repaints have been moved over to the dedicated 'Dove Repainters' thread at the request of a responsible person (aka 'Pat') to focus on that subject.

Do not be alarmed, just a little housekeeping!

**DaveWG** · February 7th, 2016, 09:41

I see my post went AWOL along the way.

Yes Dave, I noticed that!
Still, I guess we should not complain as we do not want to be covered by the 'See? Painters getting hot and bothered are their own worst enemy....' syndrome. That has to be one of the most non-value adding comments I have seen on this site.
The painters who have commented on the Dove paintkit / texture mapping have and continue to spend a lot of time and effort producing free additions for the flightsim community and unlike some others, do not merely contribute opinion and criticism.
I have to say that the Dove is a superb model and I will continue to paint it. The paintkit could be more user-friendly but so what - at least there is a paintkit. Other than double texture mapping there has so far been no issue I cannot get around - I have worked with a lot worse paint kits(BTW Bazzar, please do not see this as a challenge when you get to the paintkit for the forthcoming Mosquito! - looks an excellent model once again!).
Note to Aussieman, Dave, Markus and others - do NOT give up on the Dove.

I noticed that too. For those who missed it, Dave responded that the rudder could still have been on the same map as the fin and he's quite right. The material settings are in the mdl

You continue to chip away Peter

I've moved on to the RA Spit for now. Had the model for years but have only recently downloaded the PK. I'll return to the Dove/Devon at some point but I'm hoping you'll have done all the paints I want by then!!

You will find them here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...ove-repainters

I created the thread and got any posts referring to painting problems moved here. I was a little concerned that the release thread was being hijacked. Nothing has been lost, just in a different thread.

And Peter I haven't given up on the Dove repainting yet.

Sorry...I HAVE to respond.
My comment was/is humour...as I too am a painter. I, too have to grumble about idiosyncrasies of 'annoying' model texture mapping.
So far I've also managed to survive creating two High resolution paintkits, correcting per-pixel anomalies....and both essentially from scratch [no paintkit existed].
So please don't include me in 'like some others'.

Fair play Jafo and point taken. I guess the humour in the comment escaped me, perhaps I need to lighten up a bit! With your experience and capabilities it would be great if you could tackle the Dove as well - there are far too many schemes to be done! I also have had to create paintkits from scratch, the Avro Anson being the biggest challenge I came across although the texture mapping of that model is excellent.

regards, Peter W

Just a HU, received a email from JustFlight today stating that the new Service Pack software is now available.

Continuing with the Royal Navy Devons, and thanks Bazzar for sorting out the roof aerial issue - much appreciated!

**bazzar** · February 9th, 2016, 15:06

Looking very smart Peter.

**Ian Warren** · February 9th, 2016, 16:08

Great paint Peter, It is a gorgeous aircraft to go ripping around New Zealand in

**AussieMan** · February 9th, 2016, 16:57

Great work Peter. Will grab this when it hits the library as I like to fly in a region with aircraft registered to that region. Occasionally I do break that rule.

**monk1** · February 9th, 2016, 17:03

Some great paints out for this bird. New service pack is out as well.

I got interrupted by work, but the Apache is almost done.

**AussieMan** · February 9th, 2016, 18:16

A good stable mate for the Heron.

**Martyn** · February 10th, 2016, 00:09

We've just updated the installer again to add a new version of the paint kit. The changes are listed here - http://www.justflight.com/support/dove-devon/631b4d2

**DaveWG** · February 10th, 2016, 01:06

I see there's some new liveries in the SP too.
