When I jumped onto flightsim.to this morning (in stealth mode on a VPN from the States) it came up with Romanian as the default language... which would tie in with the GMT+2 right?

Small point John; on the RNZAF roundels, the Kiwi always faces forward, feet down, or towards the fuselage (if on the wings). One screenshot, on the SEA/Green and Brown paint has the Starboard rounded facing aft..

Always loved the VIP scheme… looked smart.

That’s looking great John, the guys at the RNZAF Museum are very excited about this project, they are about to refurbish their Andover for display (she was outside for many years) so are very pleased to see their girl get some attention

Cheers

Hmm, might have to copy the link and paste in a new tab. Probably because my website is not HTTPS.

I can email it, about 8mb

Sean

Righto... a quick message from 'Barf' at the RNZAF museum.... documents in a zip file here: http://ta4ksim.com/downloads/RNZAF_Andover_Paint_Ref.zip Loads of useful info for RNZAF schemes. Interesting fact, in 1991 we had 4 different schemes on the fleet at the same time. Not bad for only 10 airfram...

Morning John,
I've sent a message to my contact at the RNZAF museum re: Paint and marking charts, I'll see what comes back

Sean

John, Sir... you are my hero! And since the RNZAF was IIRC the only other military operator, I thank you sincerely! I can now retire my YS-11's in Andover paint, and start repainting yours in the 5 schemes they carried in 1991 ;-) I have paint and marking guides for them, so will be firing up Paints...

I took a break for a couple of weeks, but got bored easily. Having picked up the reins again, I’m really enjoying myself at the moment with a retro RAF transport aircraft for FSX/P3D. I’m not sure it will be hugely popular, but it keeps my hand In and I think Tim might like it. Please be an Andover...

SU11 may have broken stuff, but it has drastically improved performance in my ‘potato’ PC

Sean

Well I have to say, this is a pretty cool scenery... its a scenery which makes you want to explore it

Thanks

Sean

Wow... I'd never ever heard of the place.... a quick google and it's pretty interesting!

I'm keen on having a look at it, and there are ramp light options in the MAIW libraries... Nice orange glow ones look great.

SeanG

Woohoo... two of my paints in there!!

SeanG

I saw that you were hosting Don's work. Thanks Martin

I don't want to make anything which even hints at copyright abuse, I'm talking very general.. e.g: Somthing like this +==============================================================+ RAF Bentfighters [EGXX] Download XYZ scenery by A.Designer from <link to flightsim.com...> Convert following https://...

Thats a mouthfull of a topic.... but I had a thought; Since I have stepped from FS9 to P3D, and (as usual) playing catch-up... it go me thinking about all the knowledge which lies in the forums, and in all the individuals heads here, and thinking of a way of capturing it, or at least some of it.. So...

I've been using FSRealWXLite for ages, FS9 and FSX... and I'm going to buy the new version (which I think is only 15 Euro) https://www.fsrealwx.de/index.php/downloads/archive/fsrealwx-lite The lite version works pretty well, and lets you choose VATSIM as a weather source as well (which works better ...

.......but I’m not entirely comfortable with having done it and I wont be doing it again unless I or MAIW receive explicit permission. Completely understand, intellectual property is something I hold quite dear. On the upside; I'm stuck in a hotel for the next week or so... so plenty of time to con...

I’ve already converted and moved it, plus added a photo tile under it…. Offers there

I didn't know he'd done Inyokern! That'll add a bit to the China Lake area. I'll get on it..

I can send it to you (for private use of course)...
