Dans bits & bobs

Myanmar MiG 29's are uploaded, along with the some flightplans for the Magway based J-7's. They're meant as retro but can be used for modern purposes. I'm going to hold off the Mi-24 repaints for the time being, there is a good reason but I can't go into it right now. Cuban aircraft will be uploaded later in the week.

As for what's next, well it's quite honestly the biggest project I've ever done, more than 1,500 individual repaints for this country. Screenshots will appear here later this week hopefully.

Here is my next project, India.

This includes air force assets as well as naval & army aircraft as well. Still quite a bit left to do but all the repaints are at least done, which also includes 554 MiG 21 repaints as well. The aircraft will be released individually as some aircraft, like the Mirage 2000s for example, can be used in the modern era as well.

WOW!!

Awesome to see all that diversity..

That should keep you going for a while.

[Jim]

Brilliant!

I did let out a tiny sigh though, at the thought of all the work just to install them

[shaggy22]

All the packages have now been uploaded (sorry Martin ), all except the Il-76's have representative flightplans to go with them, they're meant as replacements so don't even have a cfg entry as it's not required. Mainly because I had such an issue with the cfg entries which were causing ctd's for some reason. Anyway a big thanks to Mason Curling (jetpilot1980) for the waypoints & testing these out for me as well, hugely appreciated good sir. Here are a couple of navy helis I missed out in the first post about the Indians:





As for what's next, well it's a new model that my dad is building, I won't say what it is yet but I've just started making the paint kit for it so I'll reveal all once we're happy with it, watch this space...........

Thanks for the Indian packages Dan, I appreciate the amount of work that must have gone into them.

I have a waypoints query. Some included flight plans use waypoints IND1 - IND9, but I don't see them included. (I do not mean IDN1 - IDN8 which are.)

My query though is about the coordinates of IND2 - IND6 which appear to be in Israel? (IND1,7,8,9 are in India.)

Jim

[shaggy22]

Thanks Jim, much appreciated.

Honestly can't remember where I got them from, I can only assume that there are 2 conflicting waypoints as none of the waypoints show as being in Israel according to aifp in my sim. I'd change them to using the IDN versions if they are indeed duplicated somehow.

[Jim]

Cheers Dan, I'll sort something out on my sim.

But, just to be a pain again: The Sea King waypoints IN10,11,12 are re-using P3D stock Indiana airfields' names. I just copied your locations to some I called I010,11,12 and hope that works for me.

Thanks again!

Just uploaded some E-3 repaints for the NAAI model for NATO & the USAF. The NATO ones are direct replacements for the already released package but in their late 90s scheme, also done the special scheme that was applied in 1999 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of NATO.

The US ones are basically the same as the original US E-3 package on the Elvis models, but on the NAAI models. Both repaint packages use 2048x2048 paints now as well.














Enjoy

I am a bit confused. Is the E-3 updated paints or just old repaints on the new model? I was looking at scramble and Kadena has two e-3's (71-1407 and 81-0005) but those two paints are not in the Kadena livery.

[shaggy22]

They are just old repaints on a new model. The airframes move about all the time so it's nigh on impossible to get them up to date for very long. Besides which the vast majority of my paints are retro anyway so it's good enough for me

[raclim]

Many thanks for these paints Dan! I was always hoping for someone to do some USAF paints for the NAAI Sentry model.

OK thanks.

There is a pack with USAF paints for Awacs on NAAI Model.

File is : NAAI-AWAC-E3B-C-G.zip

But I don't remember where I download it. No Readme inside.

Next projects will be some much needed African air forces. Starting with Angola, a much bigger air force than I realised but with some nice stuff & different roundels on them as well. I'll release these in 4 parts once I'm happy, fighters, transports, helicopters & trainers.

[Nigel]

Fantastic, love any add-ons that make our skies more realistic.

Angolan packages are uploaded to the hangar, please allow them time to become available.

Already started work, & mostly finished, on the next African country, it's not as big as Angola so didn't take long to do. That said, they do have/had quite an eclectic mix of aircraft. Screenshots to follow soon

FYI

In the package there are flightplans for SU-27s, but there are no repaints included.

Mig-21 there is an error in the title for airframe 308, it reads 3008
PC-7 there is an error in the title for airframe 415, it reads 4105

2 Mi-8M airframes are not allocated to a flightplan.. H-515 and H-562

Lovely package, look forward to the next one.

Thanks for picking this up, I'm sure users can correct the typos themselves should they need to.

Should have mentioned as well, the Su-27 flightplans are for Mike Pearsons repaints on avsim. They're the same as they were back in the day except the roundel was different, an easy fix to make if you're that way inclined.
