Issue with the Repaint Fokker F70 - Myanmar AF (AIA) Package just uploaded

[jetpilot1980]

I found an issue with this package that was just uploaded... I noticed the textures in the main texture folders do not match the layout of the other AIA F-70 textures I have, and the file names are different:

fokker70_t.bmp versus aia_FOKKER_70_t.dds

while the files in the 32-bit subfolders match the proper layout and file names; the 32-bit sub-folders contain files for Alliance Air and do not match the Myanmar Government Paint Schemes of the non 32-bit files...

There is a simple answer for that. There were actually 2x models for the F28, one by AIA the other by Fernando Martinez. It would seem that you need to have the FMAI one to use the textures.

I can only assume that the AIA textures were left in accidentally.

Odd as it is titled to be for AIA and the headline in the download section says "Repaint Fokker F70 - Myanmar AF (AIA)" no less I don't think the FMAI F-70 was ever converted to FSX / P3d was it?

I don't think there ever was an AIA F28 model.

Good morning.

I have removed the upload and asked the painter to please provide a new package without model mix.

There was it was released under its newer designation of the F70.

I didn’t know that. So the F-70 is the same as the F-28?

I believe that the following is the case.
The F27 became the F50. The F28 became the F70 and F100. i believe that the F100 was a stretched version but somebody with more knowledge than myself can give a more complete overview.

[Fokket50]

Having flown both the f50 and f100, here is the story:

To keep the model certification simple, Fokker updated the old Fokkers. So the F27 became the F27 mark 050, advertised as F50.
F28 became F28 mark 0100, known as F100.
Same for the F70, the F100 is a stretch of the F28.

Thanks for the explanation, Menno

Thanks Martin! That best answers my question on the matter.

Also for what it is worth AIA released both F70 and F100 models which are converted for FSX / P3d and AIG released PBR versions of these models...

Well the biggest difference between a F28 and F50 is the engines. The F28's had RR Speys which sound amazingly loud.. and the F50/F100 had RR Tays which preserved the hearing of many young ramp workers and also were more fuel efficient.

So modeling-wise there is a difference and not too many F-28's around anymore.
