Repaint Request For An F-86E

Hi all,

I was wondering if some kind soul would do a repaint of Capt. Cecil G. Foster's F-86E "Four Kings and a Queen" using either for Kirk Olsson's or the Flight 1 F-86 as the canvas. Capt. Foster grew up in Midland, Michigan, my wife's hometown, and was Michigan's highest scoring pilot during the Korean War.

Thanks,

TW

Here's some pics:

From the readme of the addon texture pack:

Product: Skin Texture Pack to complement the SECTIONF8 F-86E/F Sabre model for FS9/FS2004
Filename SF8SKNS.ZIP
Licensor: Jan Visser for SECTIONF8
 
Hi guys,

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded and converted the SF8 plane using MDLC v1.90. The plane converted well except the pilot nor the droptanks show. I get almost 30 fps with this bird against a clear sky/unlimited vis which is almost double that of KO's F-86.

Oh, and I did download the extra skin pack and then went hunting for additional skins in our library and over at Flight-sim. This really is a nice plane!

Hey Bearcat, what's the trick of getting the pilot to show up?

Thanks again for your responses,

TW

Its a looooong, boring story amigo...LOL, but i converted and uploaded this one back in '08 (the original thread here) ------ http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?4207-The-Hunters....Section-8-on-station

No disrepect to the designers of other beautiful Sabre models, but this one is my absolute favorite in my Korea CFS2 install. Jan and crew did a great job with lots of creative, FS-style detailing, a good bit of which is lost in the conversion process. However, i managed to save the animated pilot with a lot of help from scasm. Its mission-ready also.

By the way T-Willy, thanks for highlighting Foster's plane with this thread. I always thought this was an interesting name and noseart scheme, but never took the opportunity to investigate. After viewing your close-up pics i realized that this was his family displayed in the cards - his wife and four sons.
 
Hi Bearcat,

Thanks for the links for your conversion, I thought someone had converted the F8 Sabre but couldn't remember who. I think the reason I went with Olsson's plane is that someone did "The Huff" skin, which is my favorite Sabre paint job.

I didn't know that the cards represented Capt. Foster's family, nice word play there. I first heard of him while I was up visiting my in-laws and there was an article in the Midland Daily News which roused my curiousity.

Thanks again for your help!
