Hello,

This fantastic jet is the Dassault Mirage IIIC by Restauravia (http://www.virtua-aerodesign.net/index.html).

Thanks Rick, your shots always remind me of aviation art. The scenery...yep it's coming along.
Those who know me, know that I really don't care for kerosine heaters, but I do like the early ones, the P-80s in particular. A while back I started a what if project based on Operation Downfall, the invasion of Japan. Here's a few of the paints i came up with based WWII piston fighters paint schemes and a block of cancelled P-80B tail numbers. The old AlphaSim P-80 reworked for FSX
The bare metal is from Morton's CFS2 P-80s with permission. The rest of the paint is mine.
There's some more finished ones and a bunch that were in progress when the project hit the back burner. I've got a bunch more tricks now in the ol' paint can should I start back on it. These will probably be redone.

Those are fantastic! What you need is for someone to create a native FSX version via MCX of those are freeware, and assign the materials to blend the environment by the inverse of the diffuse alpha. And also assign some placeholder specular and bump maps. This would allow some awesome bare metal to be done using the lighting engine instead of painting on the reflectuons permanently. Would make your paints look even better. A lot more work but well worth it.

My favorites are the select few jets I enough interest in real life, and find enough joy flying in the sim, to have in my virtual hangar. (I would love to have a nice Temco Super Pinto in FSX!)
