No problem Brandon, I've just PM'd you my e-mail address. Just attach it when you send me a message.

John

Why is it you can display a texture on an NBAI F-15C and not on a JYAI F-15C? The process to get either to display is the same, so long as each is in the right format for the sim version you are testing with. If you don't find out why it didn't display, you won't move on. Send me the JYAI texture an...

Jolly good, but Randy asked for a repaint of my model which is consistent with your topic title.

Are you going to show us the result?

John

The aircraft will show up in the sim with an empty "atc_airline=" entry. I test all my aircraft initially with that line empty and add the call sign later. The key thing is that the aircraft name in the aircraft.cfg file must match the name in the aircraft.txt file component of the traffic...

I keep trying to convince myself of that Miljan, but the added complexity of a few dozen models at least makes for a good challenge that keeps the brain active. It's good to have Brent on board for scenery, painting and flight planning and others too that have contributed similarly to previous large...

Just discovered (in time) that I can't spell "Drogues".

John

The first C-130 and scenery packages from Brent and I (FS9 and FSX/P3Dv4) are coming along well. I thought through a number of options that would simplify the packaging process, not just for me and for the users, but for Greg who will be incorporating them into the optional Matrix installer for P3Dv...

Very cool indeed. Well done Mark.

John

Glad you like the aircraft. Alas, adding cabin lights is not quite as straight forward as just making a "JYAI_Poseidon_L.bmp" texture. That texture needs to be specified in the model as well for it to work. For FSX and P3Dv4 it's more complex because I have not been able to get the Lightma...

Why paint an AI C-130H with 4 bladed props to represent an Italian C-130J with 6 bladed props, when a whole squadron is already available as proper Italian C-130J's in the Military AI Works AMI 46th Brigata Aerea package?

It's a step backwards and a total waste of time.

John

You said "I can do an AC130" which is why I queried it. Italy doesn't have any C-130H's either, as Giorgio said, so I presume you are going retro.

Look forward to some Middle Wallop screen shots in your other thread.

John

I don't want to discourage you from doing anything, but what's the point of painting an AC-130 for an Air Force that doesn't have them on a model that's going to be superceded shortly? The mapping on the new model will be different to the old one in any case, so you won't be able to transfer over th...

Good spot Barry, thank you. The aircraft in the photograph is 11-5733 at Mildenhall that I had already produced, so it was quite easy to add the APQ-187 to the nose: https://i.imgur.com/tj0QpjK.jpg According to the article, at the end of 2018 there were at least two MC-130J's equipped with the devic...

I'm really pleased Brent has done this. It provides a complete Spec Ops set up featuring the new AC-130J's, AC-130U's, MC-130J, MC-130H's plus repainted CV-22B's and U-28A's.

John

No problem at all and consider it done. I just need to adjust the alpha channel to make the tip rings less intense and then copy the new texture into each of the relevant aircraft folders.

John

I've added them to the "generic" list, together with the EC-130H Compass call. I'll decide what to include when I get to that stage.

These are the AC-130U “Spookies” of 4th SOS at Hulburt Field: https://i.imgur.com/07i4zgE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XdAIiRC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GPxCXI9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0zHor7e.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ol1kZHJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PvbslVP.jpg I’m currently thinking along these lines for r...

Nice job Woog. I love those camo schemes.

John

The PROP_ANIM_RATIO= is a throw back to FS2002 and works also in FS9. It's use is to create a steady spin of the prop disc in the required direction (clockwise or anti clockwise) by altering the value (+ or-). I have yet to find a formula to calculate the value for the particular prop drivers in the...

Thanks for that. After a quick bit of research to check the visual differences between the "E" and the "H", I think I can put a plan together to create the rest of the 4-bladed variants in an order that minimises the work. I think for sanity sake, I will need to split the package...
