Yes they are present but comparing to the original templates, I do not have completed versions as many of the small parts are not painted.

My version is dated 8/1.

Can you attach or send your latest wright engs for the metal livery.

Your other paints are fine.

Ahh, thank you. I was just doing some final testing while preparing an early limited beta release for the C57/C60A when I ran into this.

Anyone having a C57/C60A paint scheme they would like get ready for the full beta, that should be ready in about 7-10 days.

Hi guys,
can anyone help with this problem, I'm having white textures of all paints and the panel (black) with the Harpoon FSX Portover. Installed as usual.

Have I5 with 8GB and FSX Gold Edition, so Acc and SP.

Thanks for now, John

**Milton Shupe** · August 24th, 2015, 05:58

John,

What your screenshots tell me is:

1) You have loaded the FSX Only version
2) The sim recognizes the installation and all the folders
3) The common texture folder is there and is recognized, and working as the common textures show in the VC
4) The livery texture folders are there, or at least the thumbnails are, as they show fine

Having said that, I do not know what causes the problem but I have not had any trouble reports from any of the sites.

EDIT: Here is my FSX folder setup and a livery folder content example. Does yours look the same?

Are you using the DX10 Preview in FSX without Steve's texture fixer?

Yes, sorry guys, a rookie's mistake. Indeed DX10 preview and no fixer. Have not yet intalled it.

Thanks,

John

Finishing up modeling and mapping on this one so Firekitten can start laying down lines.

Here are a few early PV-1 liveries. There really is a lot of good reading out there on these PV-1's and thanks to many of your contributions, I have a lot of it.

Excellent details of both the ETO and PTO operations, squadrons, missions, and aircraft used, BU #'s and fate.

Can't wait to fly the Ventura in PTO out in the Solomons!

**Milton Shupe** · August 26th, 2015, 05:37

Requesting assistance in finding nose content pictures. These are the only 3 references I have. Trying to put a few things up front to better appoint the PV-1.

Hi,

http://www.militarymodelling.com/for...p?th=73140&p=4

You may well have seen this site, but if you haven't (!) you may find some of the photos of the cockpit area of assistance. He seems to be taking great care constructing this model.

**Maty12** · August 26th, 2015, 09:31

Wish I could help, I have pictures of a PV-1 I visited in my country, but it's the solid nosed variant. I can still send them anyway, if you want them.

Thanks Andy; actually I am done in the cockpit; working in the interior of the nose section

Thanks for the offer Maty. I am basically done with the aircraft modeling except for a few bits in the nose section.

LOL No problem.

I just sent off final changes (I hope) to Firekitten for the PV-1 so its down to the nitty gritty of panel lines and details.

This will be like the early RAF version of the PV-1 before the additions of rockets and tanks came about, but after the early Bolton Paul turret twin 30's got swapped out.

We may consider a solid nose later version if there is real demand adding back rockets and tanks for it but that looks a lot like the Harpoon.

aka the B37 Milton?

Actually, it will be the Ventura IIa B34 seen in my post # 2088 above, top picture. It's essentially the RAF Mk II with the Martin turret and militarized P&W 2800-31's making it the Mk IIa.

I will not be adding the glass nose twin 50's, but it is a single piloted cockpit.

**julesdr** · August 27th, 2015, 04:33

Hi! I have noticed a little thing on the harpoons and I'm not sure if it's normal or note it's the reason why i post this message!
There is a transparence zone near the cockpit like on the photo.
It appears on FSX with all the glasses of the cockpit.

Is it normal?

Thank you in adance!
Best regards!
