I use gimp for my repaints. I export the paint as a .jpg in gimp and then convert it to dds in DXTBMP. Note in gimp you have to use export for the paint, and select the format you want. Save only saves the .xcf file. I found exporting as a .bmp gave funny results when converted to dds or dxt3 so I a...

Looking really good Tim. I can't wait to add this and Johns JPs to my retro set up.

Yep. I've included flight plans to various UK and European airfields they were likely to visit.

I've finally got round to getting my paintbrushes out again. I have uploaded repaints for the Tornados of 15, 16 and 20 squadrons and the Jaguars of II (AC) Squadron based at RAF Laarbruch around 1988. These use John Youngs Tornado model and Henk Schuitemakers updated version of Nick Blacks Jaguar. ...

Very nice.

They look absolutely stunning. Thank you John.

John,

I'll be happy with whatever you choose to do next. A JP would fit nicely into my retro 1980s setup. I would love to be able to add the Brawdy based Camouflaged T4s to my sim.

Steve Thank you for working your way through all the old flight plans, that's a huge project to take on. Typically where the RAF has centralised servicing, and I think that's becoming more common, individual airframes are not allocated to individual squadrons. Squadron are aircrew based units with a...

Thanks for that Greg. That worked perfectly, I now have Bruggen looking as it should, for my own use only of course.

Cheers

Thanks for your replies I have DX10 preview mode turned off. This has caused other problems with textures. It is the FS9 version of Manshy's Bruggen I have installed. I thought I had installed other FS9 scenery without any issues, maybe not. I guess this is a consequence of running FS9 scenery in FS...

Hi all After a lay off from FS after replacing my PC, I decided to install FSX Steam Edition. After installing Manschy's Bruggen as a home for Johns superb Tornados, I noticed a problem with various transparent objects, mainly trees, but also ramp lights, antennas, anything with a transparent textur...

It's good to see you back Ray.

Thanks John. This is one package that I've really been looking forward to.

I don't know if this has been posted here before, there are lots of posts related to CTD at dawn/dusk at Nellis, but I think I have just found a fix to the CTD problem. Some of the Nellis textures are located in the Scenery\World\Texture folder instead of the MAIW Nellis AFB (KLSV)\Texture folder. W...

For RAF/UK serials I use the RAF_PW_ATH font, or RAF_PW_ATH-gimp for Gimp users. I got it from the Simmers Paintshop website several years ago, but I don't think that site exists any more. If you can't find it on line and would like a copy PM me.

And there is a military connection. G-RAFG is currently based at the flying club at RAF Benson. Minus the polka dots.

Congratulations on the new web site. Looks really good, and has a fresh new feel to it.

I'm sorry that you've had problems with the flight plans. I don't know how they slipped through. I have modified the flight plans based on Firebirds advice. I have attached the file, give it a try and see if it makes any difference.

I've had similar problems with a Nvidia driver update that wouldn't install for several days. I installed all of the optional windows updates one at a time, then the Nvidia installed ok. No problems with it so far.

Done. Thank you to everyone at MAIW for all your hard work.
