Milton Shupe's Fleet Freighter50K Aircraft and Texture packs

[GarryJSmith]

Hi Good People,

It's time to release the GJSmith.net's packaged version of the excellent Milton Shupe and Team's Fleet Freighter 50K aircraft.

I have set the download of the aircraft to be three independent aircraft - Floats, Tundra (Wheels) and Skis
5345 5346 5347
Also - between Milton and I we create a new 2d Pane for this aircraft.
5348

This aircraft has a plethora of doors:
5349

Now for the good bits - a small bucket of 12 repaints are available as well which will work with any of the models - so you can put them into one or scatter them over the three different models and they will all work fine.

Additional good bit - each model download includes my master blanks for the models so that simmers out there can start pumping out some of their own creations.

Now for a good Aussie saying - "Where do ya get it" - of course at my home site http://www.gjsmith.net - check the Catalogue Page.
or if you want the direct link: http://www.gjsmith.net/Textures/Fleet50K.htm (if you take the shortcut then don't forget to look around at all of the other free stuff available on my site)

And of course the entire set is also available via the Ford Project Site - http://www.ford-tri-motor.net - Check out the Other Aircraft Page
5350

More about the Ford stuff in another post coming soon.

Remember to have fun with this aircraft - both flying and repainting - look forward to seeing some other repaints by other artists for this girl.

Regards and happy simming.

Thanks Garry and Milton! :)

Hi Good People,

Appreciate your "Thank you's" - lot of slogging in the background by Miltion firstly for the clever models and his team for the other magics - and finally - lots of fun and tinkering by me to get this girl dressed up in a couple of styles.

No doubt Edward will get a few more Ford Project liveries done for her and I will probably have a few more tinkers so keep your eye on the project.

Regards and thanks again - hope you enjoy the Fleet Freighter.

[zswobbie1]

Thanks again. Just to confirm... we gotta make our own configs for the new textures? Not a problem at all.

Also, Forgive my little confusion, I have the 3x new Fleets, but then I found an older download. I think I'm confusing myself here. I'll delete the older fleets because I'm sure they are beta versions & install the 3x new ones.

Hehee, I also must prune all my download folders of duplicate stuff as well.

[GarryJSmith]

Hi mate,

Yep - build your config for each one - simple reason - any of the textures can be used in any of the models - so you can mix and match to your hearts content.

The aircraft models come with one entry - the Paint Kit (Blank) - so you have something to copy/past for each of them to build your config to suit your needs.

The Fleet girls released on my site are the very latest - just released by Milton and his Team - so any others will be definately older stuff and basically obsolete.

Regards and happy simming.

Thought so.. So, pretty pleeeeze, any possibility of any South African livery for the Cape Town scenery? Air Force or civillian, maybe even AA or Shell?? (or BP) lol. :applause:

[zswobbie1]

BTW, the link for the F13 FLOAT version will download the WHEEL version

[GarryJSmith]

Hi, Thanks for the heads up on the F13 Floats girl on the Ford Tri-Motor Project site - fixed and updated :wavey:

As for some repaints on the Fleet girl - Edward has some already in mind for the aircraft for use in the Ford Project - but focus will be on the India Project - from Egypt to Australia :wiggle:

There is a good paint kit that accompanies the aircraft - why not have a tinker and create one of your desired liveries and share it with us all - the more repaints by others the merrier we will all be.

Make sure you test them out in the Cape Town Scenery Pack that is available at the www.Ford-Tri-Motor.net (http://www.Ford-Tri-Motor.net) site - monster set of scenery :wiggle:

Did you guys know that there is a Fleet 50 Freighter in storage in a Canadian museum? http://casmuseum.techno-science.ca/en/collection-research/artifact-fleet-50k-freighter.php

[GarryJSmith]

Hi Stoney,

Thanks for the heads up on that one.

Hey Garry,

When I drop in a fresh install of the tundra version, my 2d panel is a bit scrambled. Any ideas? It looks like the last beta setup I had but I removed that from my drive.

Thanks!

[Milton Shupe]

That looks like the old original WIP release cfg you are using.

Try this panel.cfg.

[Moses03]

Thanks Milton.

FYI- The one that comes with the tundra download at Garry's site is dated: // Built Friday, January 11, 2013 at 06:48 FSPS Build:22767

The one you attached above is: // Built Friday, February 14, 2014 at 05:28 FSPS Build:22767

Does it work?

[Moses03]

Yup, the one you attached works.

[Milton Shupe]

Great, maybe Garry can correct that archive. Thanks and sorry for that confusion.

Yes, I did. That would be this one I think.

******** did this paint of the original livery but it has not been released.

I was holding this one for the Wright and PW985 versions to be released ... sometime. :-)

[GarryJSmith]

Hi Good People,

I will check out the panels in the Fleet Freighter Downloads. :-)

Regards

[GarryJSmith]

OK found the culprit - old panel.cfg file somehow in the download zip - have corrected that for the Tundra - and for safety sake also dropped the new in in the other two models as well - all have been updated and now on my server.

And just to be safe I have updated the same zips on the Ford Tri-Motor Project site :-)

Regards to all - thanks for the heads up..... only through feedback do we know that something has gone wrong - so thanks for the heads up.

[Moses03]

Thanks Garry.:encouragement:
