Two new Tim Piglet Conrad's OV-1b repaints done

Hi all,

I'm new to this form so forgive me if I'm not posting on the right thread or if I'm breaching forum protocols in some way. I've repainted Tim 'Piglet' Conrad's OV-1b Bronco in both a Canadian SAR and an Australian Customs version which I use in flying ORBX PNW and Australia sceneries as a border security aircraft....attached are screenshots that I use for my thumbnails.

I'd like to get in touch with Tim if I can for two reasons; one so that I can pass on these repaints to his for distribution if he's interested and the other reason relates to a virtual panel question I can't sort out....

Tim, if you're reading this can you get in touch with me please?

Many thanks

Wrench

Hi Wrench,
Welcome to the SOH! Tim has given permission for all SOH members to repaint his aircraft and regarding distribution, we'd like to host them here. Just obtain an upload password and then follow the scripts.

How do I upload?

Thanks Roger...I'm happy to get a password and upload these files; can you send me the link to where I can start all of this and also please can some direct me to Tim regarding the VC questions I have?

Many thanks

Wrench,

Howdy, I'm the head librarian for SOH. To upload, please make sure the package is in .zip format. Also, please include a description text file of its contents. Because it is clear that permissions have been given, no other work is needed in that regard. A picture of the skin (a jpeg will be more than sufficient) would also be nice, but is not absolutely necessary.

When you are ready, you can access the Warbirds Library by starting on the home page and clicking on "Upload add-ons" and following the prompts on the page. The first box should be the name of the file, (Please refrain from using your username or real name, the software will tell me whose file package it is) while the large box allowed you to provide a description of the upload. (The information in your description text file would suffice)

Under "upload file"...this is where you would identify the package that you wish to upload, followed by "image upload." (This is where you would identify the snapshot that you are using to identify your product)

You'll then want to choose the target directory. (In this case, since these are repaints, you would want to choose "FSX Skins")

Then finally, click "submit" and it will be uploaded to the library, waiting for my examination and (almost always) rapid approval, so it will be ready for downloading.

Not sure what an A&P is but I got the nickname when I was in the CDN army reserve many years ago; a bit of a play on my surname....anyway I'm putting the readme and texture files together now and should have the zip ready over the weekend.....

Tim; I need your help. I use my VC exclusively with a Matrox TH2Go....two questions....when I click on the + or -within the radio stack I can't get the NAV1 radio to change frequencies..... can you help me here please. A second request if I can ask is there a way that the default GPS can be embedded into that red screen on the right side of the VC panel? so when you click on the GPS button it pops up in that screen...I don't know how to alter panel cfg's or do panel design so I was hoping perhaps you could have a bit of a look at that if it's not too much to ask.

I'm grateful for your work


Best regards

Wrench
 
Just wanted to pass on my thanks to Tim for the awesome plane and Wrench for the skins.

I was an avionics tech on a USArmy OV-1 Mohawk unit during Desert Storm, and this FSX plane lets me revisit some memories and experiences that started my aircraft interest long ago, and this time from the pilot seat instead of watching it from the flight line.

Very much a favourite in my virtual hangar.

As we used to say in that unit MOHAWK!
 
Hello all!

I have radios problems in this model...
Has someone solved?

The paintkit is available?

Thanks in advance.
 
Helo,
Thanks for these repaints.

This aircraft is very difficult to fly and to land.
It seams very "sensitive" and I cannot land it.
Does someone knows how to reduce the "sensitivity" ?
Thanks in advance.

I've got radio problems too and these have been pointed out to Tim 'Piglet' Conrad who created this plane. Hopefully he can fix the problem for us; as far as the paint kit is concerned; no to my knowledge there is no paintkit...I painted it the hard way slow but sure...

Hope that answers your questions.

Regards
Wrench

yes, everything is clear, thanks for the reply

Many thanks for these! The Aussie job will come-in very handy, but the Canay-jun rascal will get lots and lots of screenplay here!

One of the endearing characteristics of this aerodyne is the nifty "glow" that emanates from the engine tailpipes. For some reason, that never fails to rev my starter!

Thanks again, Wrench.
 
Radio Issue

Hi Tim,

Have you had a chance to take a look at the radio problems that both another member and myself have commented on?

All the best

I seem to remember that being address after the initial release about 4 years ago, but I don't remember there being any easy solution. I know some of us who have FSPanel Studio just swapped out some other radios that worked and went on. I also checked flightsim.com and the archives here for a paint kit and the Mohawk appears to be one of the few that Tim designed that didn't have a paint kit released after the initial release of the aircraft.:salute:
 
OV-1b VC Panel Dilema

Thanks mate...background info was helpful. Is there someone out there who has a file or link to an updated air or mdl file that contains changes that make the radios work? My workaround at the moment is changing aircraft in midflight then changing the radio frequencies then switching back to the OV-1b and carrying on with the flight...not exactly the best solution.

I'm using a Matrox TH2GO so I fly exclusively on a VC and from what I can tell panel editors like FSPanel Studio ( that I don't even have a clue about on how to begin to use ) are more for the 2d panels.

Appreciate any and all help to resolve this issue.

Many thanks, cheers
