Such fine weather here, I took a 30-mile bike ride this afternoon and came home and flew Piglet's Mooney Mite to Roanoke from Danville using Active Sky. As you can see, it was a gorgeous day.

Piglet, this is my favorite aircraft of yours and the best for me since your classic T-28 series.

Dang it, Cazzie...What did I do to your great repaint :kilroy::banghead: mipmaps or ??????
Click to expand...

Ya sho gots me DC?? :isadizzy:

Textures are 565 160-bit, shouldn't present a problem, one step up from Piglet's default DXT5, I like the better sharpness. Would use 32-bit 888-8, but that takes up a lot of room and slows down the sim.

Lemme check that repaint I sent up, might have made a boo-boo and sent an early copy. There should be two here, one with an all-blue fuselage and one with an all underwing yellow.

Caz
 
Sho' nuff didn't send the all-blue fuselage up.

Gettin' old's a :censored:! Sent it up.

I fixed it DC, the all-blue fuselage and clean windows should be up tomorrow at SOH.

Cazzie, I sent a better shot...yours is clear as day, mine looks Like we all may have had to much to drink :costumes: all blurry...

Thanks for lookin into it Cazzie...

What are your settings in FSX for Aircraft DC? Jf they are low, set them to high and see if it is sharp.

Hi Cazzie

Great stuff. I enjoyed your pics - remembers me to the lonesome cowboy flying into the sunset.
Seems that the Mite could have been a fevourite equipment for lots of different WWII fighter squads:costumes:

Hoot man, where that Blighty paint job mate?

Caz
 
That's from Mr. BB (Banana Bob) and available here and at AVSIM. In combination with Piglet's planes Bob sometimes makes simmer's paradise:jump:
Mike
 
Thanks Mike, just stashed it in the Mite folder. :applause:

BB hasn't done a prop for it yet, but I find that his Jungmann propwash for Oliver Fischer's Bu-131 works like a charm on the Mite and use it.

Caz
 
Nice screenshots guys!

I never knew that the cars at night had headlights and tail lights...! (Saw that on your screenshots Cazz).

Love that cool Spitty repaint too!
