Iris easter eggs!

[vonstroheim]

Ready!



No, I'm just joking... This is the old Posky CRJ-700... (old maybe, but FSX native). I really hope any Iris CRJ-200 paint or repaint will pop up soon! Mine is really going nowhere... I scrapped it, sorry... Help!

Sorry about your repaint, however, so as not to confuse anyone else, the Posky model
it NOT native FSX.

[vonstroheim]

...the Posky model it NOT native FSX.

You're right, the CRJ-700 Posky FSX native model is not available anymore in this Posky Archive web site.

But Hiroshi Higami (ex Posky modeller) did a native FSX conversion of his CRJ-700 at some point. Unfortunatly I can't find the official version, but a repaint I found at Simviation here do use the FSX native model file "OSXCRJ700.MDL" (the FS9 file is "OSCRJ700.MDL", without the X).

Maybe the official FSX native OSXCRJ700.MDL file was lost or not properly archived when Project Open sky closed its web site a few month ago...

Sorry to bump and hijack this thread again... Very nice "Hop!" repaint by Paul Craig for the FSX native Posky CRJ-700, with default VC:
(complete package hop_posky_crj702.zip @ FlightSim)



Now back to the Iris Easter Bombardier thread: I'm trying to convince Paul to do a nice civilian repaint for the Iris CRJ-200 and CRJ-900!

If anyone still flying....WIP

:salute:Now that one is a beauty. I am still flying her with CC-130J_AVN's RCAF White while waiting on a USCG 1. My ramp space at KNGP CGAS looks odd and a invasion of the CGAS with RCAF Global's lol.

[Brian_Gladden]

I threw together a "generic biz-jet" paint for the Global. I'll try to get a screen of it sometime today.

Awesome, Looking forward to it! I don't fly it much at the moment as I have been flying and painting the Majestic Q400.

Still hoping and searching for some IRIS CRJ-200/900 paints

[Brian_Gladden]

Here's the quickie I threw on it. Not gonna release it since I screwed up and didn't get the stripes even...Attachment 87820

Hello everyone! Like most of the people that are following this forum, I have too waited for a CRJ-200 to appear that was easy on FSX. It's a shame that they did not continue with their model, but at least most of the things are animated and laid out for us to use. I currently run a virtual airline and have been busy repainting our fleet - so I have gained some familiarity with Photoshop.

Though I have never started from total scratch, painting the parts seems pretty easy to do. In the last few hours I have played around with the kit and tried to start on some of the "Easier" things. LOL! So far I have created a texture for the engines at standstill and at full throttle (Please ignore the cowling for now). I have also created a texture for the outline for the window with rivets, but that needs some more work so the shine comes through. If anyone has some CRJ-200 pics to share, by all means share! I hope to continue this project over the coming weeks and to hopefully have a scratch made paintkit for the CRJ-200 by the 4th of July. :USA-flag: Wish me luck!

Sweet! looking forward to the paint kit. I want to try making a few Challenger 850 Paints

How is it coming? I hope you're progressing well... Here's a few ideas with very simple, but quite common, liveries...







I'm following this thread closely, since I'm a bit disapointed by some brand new payware airliners. I just want to go back to enjoy simple aircraft with no FPS hit or buggy glass panels... The Iris Bombardiers with default CRJ700 cockpit are just that...

Ditto on that!!!

[vonstroheim]

There's a freeware Challenger coming our way soon, by Ozzman1997 from FSDevelopper.



Thanks to airdailyx for the news.

Yummy... I suppose it will use stock CRJ VC?

Is everyone still using the stock CRJ VC in these "eggs"? One reason I was holding off for a good VC or at least an updated one like stock B737 recieved by A. Lucena. I can still sim E-11 BACN flights I guess with the stock VC.

[Naismith]

Looks good.

[vonstroheim]

Is everyone still using the stock CRJ VC in these "eggs"?

Yes I'm afraid the default CRJ VC is the only freeware option for these Bombardier CRJ/GEX/Challengers... There's a few payware options though...

Here's an idea for a simple repaint of a Challenger 850 (the exterior is identical to the CRJ-200, isn't it?):

Yeppers. There are internal changes (more gas etc.) but the outside is identical to a CRJ 200

[mirage3]

This year i have appreciated the Bombardier Sentinel R.1 of the RAF.... It was super:thumbup:

[vonstroheim]

At last, an Iris CRJ-200 paint kit and a Delta Connection livery surfaced a few days ago at avsim's library, thanks to A.J. Cook. Search for iris_crj200_delta.zip and iris_crj200_paintkit.zip.



As A.J. points out in his readme file, this Iris model has some flaws, like untextured cockpit (in outside view). So I tried to darken the cockpit windows with some DtxBmp and MDLMatXX tweaks, but so far I got it all wrong... I hope someone will find a trick...

[mirage3]

Super! Very Nice:sly:

Did anyone make any light configs for these?

[vonstroheim]

Did anyone make any light configs for these?

I don't think it's necessary, here are the one I use:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing 
light.0 = 3,  -69.85, -37.00, -0.50,  fx_navred
light.1 = 3,  -69.85,  37.00, -0.50,  fx_navgre
light.2 = 3,  -109.90,  0.00, 14.645, fx_navwhi
light.3 = 1,  -45.626,  0.00, -2.30,  fx_beaconb
light.5 = 1,  -45.65,   0.00,  7.00,  fx_beaconh 
light.6 = 4,  -10.00,   0.00,  3.90,  fx_vclighth
light.7 = 2,  -69.85, -36.50, -0.50,  fx_strobeh 
light.8 = 2,  -69.85,  36.50, -0.50,  fx_strobeh 

[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=-86.490, -7.751, 3.401, fx_smoke_f6
smoke.1=-86.490,  7.751, 3.401, fx_smoke_f6

I've adjusted the front gear contact point:

[contact_points]
point.0=1, -22.00,   0.00,  -6.236, 1600, 0, 0.5625, 46.8, 0.28, 1.11, 0.20, 10.0, 10.0, 0, 260.0, 260.0
...

Playing with the paintkit (I hope I'm not the only one...). I choose this JAL livery for its simplicity, but still a long way to go...
