Bummer, airshows only happen usually once a year, at least here in the states. Any chance they'll try to make it up sometime again this year?

Well I guess we should start with this very basic question:

What is it that you want to do, repaint a certain model, modify textures, etc. ?

Ya looks like it might be a bit of a rough ride back to IAH today.

I'll try to get as many as I can before we take off. Just PM me with your email address and I'll send them your way.

Couple more from the other day. Fuel truck vs. airplane http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/DSC00984.JPG Then a special treat as we taxied to the gate in Cleveland. A flight of four F/A-18s were taxiing in to the FBO. There was an auto race in Cleveland on Sunday and I think these four were there ...

Hey Ron, guess where I'm sitting at this very moment?

Fairfield Inn, Killeen, TX, getting ready to fly KGRK-KIAH.............

Oh sorry, that would help. I currently fly the Embraer 145 series of Regional Jets, the EMB-135, EMB-145 and EMB-145XR versions for ExpressJet Airlines. I will soon be switching jobs however and go to work flying 737s here in the states for Southwest Airlines.

So I finally got a new and very compact digital camera that I can leave in my flight bag that goes with me on all my flights. Now I can share some of the amazing things I see from time to time while traversing the skies of the continental U.S. Here's a couple shots from yesterday afternoon on a flig...

Guys you need a program like MSPaint, Paint Shop Pro or even Photoshop if you really want to dive into creating textures. The upper end programs like PSP (Paint Shop Pro) and Photoshop allow you to work with multiple layers in your textures which really adds to the kinds of things you can do and cre...

Nope, IRIS F-15s, using the recorder module to produce the lead aircraft.

If anyone out there hasn't tried this little freeware module, you should, the possibilities are endless! Great tool for creating flying buddies for you to tag along with.

Couple shots from Nellis with F-15 aggressors out for a spin.

The font is called "Amarillo USAF".

If you do an internet search you shoud be able to find a site or two that has it freely available for your particular paint program.

Search for "free fonts" or something like that.

Graham,

I too use PSP and one question I've always wanted to ask you is how you make text appear on your repaints when the text is very, very small. IOW how do you make it show up so that it's not all pixelated to the point where it's not recognizable?

Gary it would be great if you could get some photos to share with us.

Cool IMAX film but I was a bit dissappointed by some of the computer generated shots where one plane is chasing another and it's very obvious that it's not the real deal. But still a great film.

Guys here is a great utility that everyone should have:

Called Scan AFD, it scans your FS9 folders looking for duplicate AFCAD files and then lists the ones it finds, allowing you to delete the duplicates.

Works great.

sweet........

What a great addition that will be to the UPT bases.

How about the auto-installer, what do you guys think (likes vs. dislikes)?
