Looks very nice! I still enjoy your JAARS paint!

Looks very nice! I still enjoy your JAARS paint!

Mmm. Second that. Is there a way to make the windows a bit darker? Some dark tinting kicks in and they look great at dawn/dusk but would prefer - just my personal taste, no criticism of Bill's talents - a fairly dark tinting look in the daytime on this bird. They look a little too milky white in the sunshine, at least to me.

Regards

Interior and exterior looking terrific. Window tint is on the button. What texture and/or alpha do I need to change if I want to do the same to other paints?

[BananaBob]

Thanks Expat! The glass texture is Perspex_T.dds and I just color the top layer dark black blue and the alpha as a dark gray. :ernae:

Got it, thanks! Really like the realistic exhaust stains - got that just right.

Still would like darker perspex but particularly the side windows, comparing these IRL shots with what I see in FSX.

Also, tried popping the Perspex_T.dds file into the JAARS paint but didn't get it to appear. Is this "portable" to other paints or is there something else that needs to be changed?

It might be my own GlobalEnv_AC_Chrome.dds texture, put that in the others too and try it, it was in the paint folders I provided. Thanks for your support also Lee and I'll see if I can go darker on the glass. :ernae:

Hi, After getting TongassX recently I reloaded 1.8 and have a question.
I am getting a flap extension/retraction sound on occassion. Does this plane have autoflaps or is it a bug?

Awesome work Robert. That Orange and Gray is a wild colorscheme. Looks very modern, like a Swiss paint scheme. (Cant lose that in the Alps, lol). Thanks also for the 'behind the scenes' glimpse of how these are done. I was curious myself.

Bob,

For some reason I am having trouble getting your repaints to show up in the select aircraft file. I have the .jpg's in the respective Kodiak and Kodiak float plan folder.

I may have just not installed anything correctly. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated for what looks like a great paint.

Thanks,

Let's see, did you copy the proper text to each aircraft.cfg file, one for the Kodiak and one for the Kodiak_Floatplane aircraft.cfg file? Then you have to replace the [xx] with the next appropriate numbers. :ernae:

Mr. "BananaBob,"

Just downloaded the lot of them; installing now... Pretty awesome stuff :applause:; just wondering if "the Blue one with metal floats", etc. was out, yet?

Guess Mr. Bill "LionHeart" needs to hire you to keep this up :d.

Hey All,

Nice Paints! What would it take for some of these paints (like the blue and the green ones) to work on the FS9 Kodiak?

Dang, I just tried it and it works, sometimes I have trouble getting onto the site though, that may be why, not sure. The skins will be compatible with FS9 though in the future, working something out now. Cheers brother! :ernae:

We had the hot 70's colors and now the subdued "Banana Republic" earth tones!! :d Like them all. Just flew the lime green one into Falcon's Revelstoke - the wind was the wrong way round so had to do the "down the mountain" approach!:ernae:

Wow Bob, love the worn look and those float textures just rock. Do these have that worn interior to go with them?

I'm an e-normous fan of the more muted and worn paint jobs. Banana, you've done it again. :ernae:

Those muted brown and green KOdiaks are really something.:medals::applause:

Mr. "BananaBob,"

Love the new brown/greens... :applause:

Couple of minor issues with some of the new texture set:
1. They are missing "Thumbnail.jpg" files in the Texture.??? folders and so you get the "missing" aircraft icon in the aircraft menu.
(Please see pic. attached below).
2. The wing textures (bottom and top) need a little more of the "wear & tear" look that the fuselage has. It sort of has that 2D-look still.

Thanks!

BTW: Where can I download the repaint with these metal floats?

You may need to download it again, there are thumbnails in it. I'll take a look at the wings and that blue one is not ready yet. :ernae:

Yeah, the thumbnails are done like Bill did his, the thumbs go right in with the aircraft folder not the specific texture getting the thumbnails, if that makes any sense? LOL

Cheers,
Bob

[JamesChams]

Thanks, Mr. "BananaBob"; I didn't add those into the "Kodiak" or "Kodiak_Floatplane" folders, thus the missing Thumbnails. Thanks for helping me figure it out.:wavey:

Mr. Bill "LionHeart,"

Has there been a released fix for the Kodiak Panel since v2.5?
It still has this issue (Please see "Kodiak_3D_Panel.jpg" Pic. attached)...

Also, I noticed this on the Epic 2D Panel, as well... (v1.8 [G2.01b])
(Please see "EPIC_2DPanel.jpg" Pic. attached)...

Thanks! :wavey:

Yes. I'll take the photo-real MAF as soon as it is out. Does anyone here know the registration of the MAF Kodiak that was sent to Papua, Indonesia?

Wombat_VC,

I went over to this link :

http://www.maf.org/home/

I did a little reading about their organization... wonderful stuff, BTW.

I found links to photos and did a little tour and I found this photo.
It is a little hard to read but I think this is it. # N58NH

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k7/Big_Don_2006/Papua.png



Bill had released with his Kodiak pkg. a MAF paint that had reg. # N58NH or was it #N59NH....

Anyways, I'm a member over at Flightaware :

http://flightaware.com/


I had to pull up the reg. # N58NH to see the dated actual flight plans of this aircraft... the last flight was about 8 weeks ago. I flown some of those flights in FSX...thanks Bill for a wonderful Quest Kodiak pkg. and a big thank you to all of the repainters. :engel016:

[BananaBob]

Yeah Flameout, I found this shot too that shows the reg plus I notice it says, "Mission Aviation Fellowship" in the dark blue stripe, will have to add these things.

Gee! Thanks! (Slap my own head :isadizzy:) I adopted the Papua plane on that site and I didn't read all the stuff there. Yes, they do good work with their planes.

I just registered myself into flightaware.com. Looks like they can't track any planes outside USA.
