Thanks guys :) I left my question quite broad, as I wasn't really sure what I was asking! I guess I am trying to figure out a workflow from idea through to completion, which is what I do at work for my design/modelling. The big 'take-away' (I sooo hate corporate speak) is coming up with a scope, the...

This is a question, or discussion starter really, for both the established and beginning developers: I am most of the way through a modelling project, and every time I think I am done I find something else to add. So my questions are; - How do you go about planning a project. And do you define your ...

The rabbit hole has become something of an interesting journey! As I said earlier; I wanted to model some ships for my Wasps to operate from, and HMNZS Monowai, an oceanographic survey vessel was my first subject... http://ta4ksim.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Monowai_New.jpg Tonight I had a cool m...

As Sean said of his Wasp, I can't imagine my subject being a popular one; if he reckons seven people in the world are interested in his Wasp, I reckon no more than six for my MFI-17. However, if anyone is desperate for such a thing, I will get to LOD's at some point, or PM me for a beta "as is...

Oh... and if anyone improves my RNZN paints... please share

Gee you guys are quick!

Just converted from PSP, so not tested in Photoshop.

Enjoy

Small update has just been sent to the hangar. It fixes the side numbers on the right side being reversed....



I have uploaded the fixed complete package to the hangar, replace the previous download

This was the Helo on my first ship in the RN - HMS Berwick a Rothesay class frigate. Great to see it modelled even if its only in FS9. Thankfully I was never asked to fly in one of them as they had an annoying habit of going swimming when you least wanted them to. We had a couple of Rothesay's down...

Best have a look at the Wasp before you ask for a Scout!

Maybe I’ll do a v2 with an interior.... and removable doors for aboard ops (because of the aforementioned habit of going swimming)...

Thanks John, Yep, this was the original test-bed for the lift animation I sent you all those years ago... I thought it was time I pulled my finger out and actually built a model around those animations!! I should thank you for your tutelage over the years.. without which this would probably never ha...

May I present my first complete AI Aircraft package for FS9 (only... sorry!) the 'So Ugly it's almost cute' Westland Wasp HAS Mk.1 This is my first Full aircraft package for a very long time.... so please be gentle with your critique ;-) I present my humble, simple Westland Wasp HAS.1, with 4 LODS, ...

Thank you so much for putting this mammoth project together! I can see many hours of exploration in my future!

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 Centr...

\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

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...
