Another repaint after a profile by Ray Rimmell. This time a aircraft which belonged to Jasta59.

Still some minor things to so, but it will be ready/available either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. (Willy, clean some disk space as number 32 is on its way!)

Cheers,
Huub

Thanks HUUB!
Next to "K.O's" Sabre....think I have more repaints of this bird than any other in my hangers. Never can have enough D-7's..!

I have made some minor changes compared with the screenies above (can you find them?). The repaint is uploaded and will be available as soon as Douglas comes around again.

Below the final version and a (poor) picture from the real thing.

Enjoy,
Huub

Hey Huub,....for the life of me,.....I can't find the minor subtle changes you made on the final D-7 skin. This reminds me when I was kid and you'd have these two 'comparison' drawn pictures,...and you were to find the differences. I failed then and I failed now. Anyway,.....terrific skin for the SG Fokker D-7.
p.s.,....maybe the cat logo is a bit more plumper since it ate a few mice?
 
I already told you it were minor changes :costumes:. One is the wheel which is more detailed and has another valve. The alignment from the while lines and the white part of the tail fin has been improved, but this is hardly visible.

Like with these old puzzles I should have printed the solution up-side-down ;) :d

Cheers,
Huub
 
I am having problems getting the skin to show up on the available list. I installed the Jasta59 texture directory, and modified the aircraft.cfg, but no luck.

Every once in a while I have these problems. So far, a solution is evading me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

navychief,
Did you remember to change to sequencing number within the flightsim brackets? ex. [flitsimxx] Change the x's to the next number what's listed within the cfg. file. So if the last/final number is '3' let's say,....put within the bracket [flitsim4] for the Jasta 59 skin.
Also,...when you bring up 'Fokker' in the aircraft library,...there's two listings. One is 'DVII' and the other(listed beneath) is 'DVII GERMAN.' The Jasta 59 aircraft falls under the DVII GERMAN headings
 
Yep, did all that. But undoubtedly I didn't do something right, because it isn't showing up. But I will go check everything again.

Thanks.

in the aircraft.cfg file check that under the [flightsim.XX] entry
the line
title=XXXXXX
is different to any previous entry too.

Thanks for the nice comments guys, it's good to see you enjoy our (Cazzie's and mine) repaints for this beautiful model.

Navychief, I hope you have been able to sort out why the Jasta 59 repaint doesn't appear. As Brad Kaste alreasy mentioned it should appear under aircraft model D VII German. As I have all available repaints installed I did make sub-folders by nation to divide them a bit.

Here is the entry for the aircraft.cfg file again however without the "German".

Hopefully this helps,
