Coming Soon - Curtiss Jenny Liveries.

[GarryJSmith]

Hi Good People,

Some interesting stuff happening within the Ford Project Team.

Edward and I have been busy and have been creating some very good liveries for the Default Microsoft Curtiss Jenny JN4D aircraft.

This old girl has not been a friendly model for repainters and there is a void of historical,Fact, Fun and Fictional liveries for her.

Edwards, after a bucket of research has come up with a bucket of historical aircraft data that we could paint up for the Jenny that would work with the "mirror mapping" and other qwerks in the overall model texture mappings.

Just a couple of liveries we have create are:

Daredevil Lindbergh - a close representation of one of Lindbergh's early aircraft
10324

Another is a Jenny hanging from the roof in a museum - The Fish. I am normally fairly creative but this livery is a real beauty.
10323

There are over 20 other liveries already painted and you can check them out at the Ford Project - Coming Soon Page - click on any page top banner and you will be taken to the Coming Soon Page or the direct link is:

We are trying to cover a good global use of this girl and give her a burst of life for simmers that enjoy LOW and SLOW flying in the simulators.

There is still several more to be repainted up for this girl - some listed on the Coming Soon Page.

IMPORTANT - These liveries are for the FS2004 Default Curtiss Jenny JN4D aircraft - HOWEVER, I believe that the aircraft ports very easily to FSX and these liveries will work very well in FSX as well (even a little bit richer)

So if your interested in LOW and SLOW flying in your sim (FS2004 or FSX) then there are some pretty good new liveries soon to become available, hopefully early August 2014

One more livery just to demonstrate our global reach for this girl:
10322 (http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/Curtiss-Jenny/images/China-AF.jpg)

That's all for now - hope you enjoy our FREE stuff designed for your simulator entertainment.

Regards
Garry and Edward.

Looking forward to them Garry and Edward! One thing thought MS gave the Jenny had an "open" model so it could be played with and as such has been converted to FsX (not just a port-over). It is in our library

That's great news mate,

That means that the FSX'ers will have access to the relevant FSX Jenny - textures should work with that girl as well - I simply copied the FS2004 Jenny to FSX with the texture pack (done so far) - and she seem to operate without a problem in FSX.

But then again that is to my level of simming - I go in - load up an aircraft - take off in spot view - check out the textures and then onto the next texture set :untroubled:

Thanks again for the feedback mate.

The texture mapping was unchanged so all Fs9 textures work.

Always looking forward to more repaints for the Jenny! My simple favorite has always been the stock/default red scheme, but with the barnstormer decals removed. It's neat to see the 'Daredevil Lindbergh' scheme recreated - that one of course was actually a Standard J-1 (often confused for a Jenny), which I've been wanting to build.

Here's a link to the FsX Jenny in our library:

Awesome news on the new paints.

Hi Good People,

Edward and I have drawn a line at 40 repaints - at least for this first batch of Curtiss Jenny JN4D's releases

There is a slideshow presenting all 40 liveries (including two Paint Kits) now available:

http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/counter/DH88-Counter/click.php?id=55

It is an Inalbum slideshow - so very safe to run and hopefully enjoy.

We now have to work out a strategy for how to release this small bucket of liveries to both the FS2004 and FSX environments - but we should be able to get it all out to the simming buffs by very early August 2014.


Regards and happy simming from the Ford Project Team
