John, Your models are always amazing and hugely anticipated, but I have to say that the JP/Strikmaster pack is outstanding! Whether it is the fact that the subject is closer to my heart than most others or not I am not sure, but I absolutely adore this model! Flying formation with the JP's out of Cr...

To add another possible angle to this project.... Strikemasters are used as contract CAS Training aircraft with 'Blue Air Training' in the US. https://blueairtraining.com/ Could add a 'non-retro' aspect

Hi John, The Kiwi "Blunties' look awesome! Just for some reference, http://www.adf-serials.com.au/nz-serials/nzstrikemaster.htm So if you wanted to select active airframes from a specific era.... Even though you don't need them I now have the NZDF Official Paint and Stencil guide from the Central Mu...

\o/ woohoo!

I also have RNZAF paint charts here somewhere... and access to a real aircraft if you want detail photos etc....

SeanG

John,
I have an almost finished retro (1991 era) RNZAF Ohakea, and a list of airframes from that time period... if that helps give the Strikemaster a wee nudge

SeanG

I'd **love** to see a proper AI JP/Strikemaster <3

Thanks Sean, very helpful. I'm assuming this is for FS9, but do we know how the scenery fares in FSX and P3Dv4 please?

Yes it is FS9, but allegedly runs in FSX ok. I will do a quick test and check that out.

NZCH Scenery Update: The best scenery (At least in my opinion) was produced by a team of locals, lead by John Haines. I have wrapped up the scenery adn uploaded it to my webserver, and have sought permission to re-distribute it. There are two packages; - One which covers a huge area of Canterbury, c...

Ok, since NZCH is my 'specialist subject' so to speak.... let me put together a package of the best airport for FS9. The ones listed were by Ian Warren, and are not that accurate. There was a huge Christchurch photoreal project years ago which had a quite good, though now outdated NZCH, with the cor...

I've been giving that some thought too Sean. Do you know how many of the 109th AW Ski-birds actually deploy to Christchurch for the "Deep Freeze" season? I'm not sure what to do for flight plans for such a deployment. It looks like a 4000 mile round trip to the Antarctic ice cap from Christchurch, ...

Those LC's will be a lovely addition to NZCH for the Summer 'Deep Freeze' season!

John,
Try a batch file like this:

cd /D C:\FS9
start "fs9" fs9.exe

timeout /T 60

taskkill /F /IM fs9.exe

timeout /T 5
start "fs9" fs9.exe

Change the folder/drive locations to suit, and play with the time-outs...

Cheers
SeanG

What Windows Version? In a windows update this year they broke FS9 loading... it starts but then freezes. Go to the Task Manager and kill fs9.exe, then start it again.... Happens on my Win7Pro64, so I've written a startup batch file for FS9 which starts, waits, kills then re-starts fs9.exe HTH SeanG

Retro RNZAF Aircraft are in the MAIW File Library for P-3's, B727, Andover (Using the YS-11) and Cessna 421.. All in their early 90's schemes.

I don't have much military AI in New Zealand.

We don't in real life now anyway

I *am* still slowly working on a retro RNZAF AI package C1991... I'm mostly there!

SeanG

Well... I'm keen to help in any way... given that NZ was the only export customer of the 780

Well I made a complete set of RNZAF schemes, layered paint shop pro templates etc.... I could throw that in if it helps?
SeanG

I'd love to see it finished... The I could recycle my Andover paints onto a real C1 model! (instead of the YS-11 stand-in)
Sadly, I don't have FSDS or enough talent to take it on

SeanG

I suppose this means I'd better dust off my Ohakea project and update it for the T-6's then...


SeanG

If Jake is happy, I could share what I've done to date.... LOD1 is complete, and the hover-taxi animation is working.

Let me know

SeanG
