92 A-29s, if we were to include them all, would take a lot of flight planning work, assuming we don't have them already. I'm finding the flight planning for the C/VC/E and R-99s a little tricky, with Scramble leading me astray. I need to check each flight too that the destination has the right parki...

FAB Tim!

I've re-done the paintwork on the KC-390 to match the RGB values used by Ray on his Brazilian camo. It's quite a bit lighter and will help with the P3D gloom. This is FSX:



John

Are we recommending 2048 x 2048 textures for P3D? I've always stuck with 1024 x 1024, being a quarter of the size, storage-wise.

John

Yes, I found those too at SBRJ while I was doing some prep for flight planning the EMB-99s.

John

I would certainly support Ray's FTP suggestion.

These are the finished initial paints for each of the EMB-145 derivatives for the upcoming Brazil package for FSX and P3D. I'll paint up the fleet, once I have made the LODs: https://i.imgur.com/0v7TSiL.jpg C-99A in the standard grey: https://i.imgur.com/9SBi636.jpg VC-99A in the VIP livery: https:/...

Well done Ray, the paints look great. I'm glad you raised the query on spelling. Mine is OK on the KC-390, but on checking, I realised that I have missed out the "Forca". It was hiding behind the engine on the reference photo! I can correct that when I revise the camo RGBs. It's great to h...

Yes, indeed as I said at the end of my first post.

John

Ray, thanks for that. I'm going to run with your RGB values for the Brazilian camouflage. It's a little bit lighter than mine and that will help in the more gloomy P3D setting. To see the difference in the texture sample below, the left side of the KC390 fuselage has your values and the right side, ...

Mexico has the P-99 Maritime version too, with a large radome under the fuselage like the R-99 but with an added hump on the top of the fuselage towards the nose.

John

Thank you Steve, those ideas are quite appealing.

John

What is the difference between a regular ERJ-145 and the C-99 version? Couldn't you just use the AIG model for those paints? I had to build the C-99 first in order to make the E-99 and R-99. The base paints are essentially the same for all 3 aircraft. Sorry Steve, I meant to include the Indian AWAC...

Ray, could you post the RGB values of the grey and the green you are using for the camouflage please? I'll see if I need to adjust my KC-390.

John

Just finished the modelling of the EMB-145 derivatives for the upcoming Brazil package. There are 3 aircraft types: E-99 (AWACS) - 5 based at Anapolis (SBAN) R-99 (Electronic Sensing) - 3 based at Anapolis (SBAN) C-99 (General and VIP transport) - 10 based at Brasilia (SBBR) and 5 at Rio (SBGL): htt...

Yep that seems to be the case in the photo - the C-98A has seats. So from our point of view, I assume the same model will do both variants.

John

Got it thanks. So, is it right that the C-98s have passenger seats, while the C-98As ("pure cargo", according to Wikki) do not?

John

Just to clarify, Jon says 7 Caravans for Brazil. Scramble says at least 30 (C-98) active. Which is the correct figure?

Let's review whether you want me to make the C-98 or not, after I've finished the 99s (coming along very well).

John

I'll do that. It sounds like the better option. It's an important aircraft for Anapolis, numbers-wise.

John

If we need a new Caravan model, I can do that, even if it's added as an update.
