A2A 172 RELEASED!

Thanks for your kind words gents - did a third one in red and darker plastic-parts at the doors. I've asked for permission to share them at the A2A Forum because it is their original work that i only change a little.
If i get the permission to share, i will see what i can do to let them look a bit "used" :icon_lol: I think i'll do a clean and a "dirty" variant of them.

Dirk

You going to make these available for download.?
 
I`d just uploaded a package with all six color variants here at the Outhouse - should be available soon. This package contains V1.1 of my modifications. They looks smoother now in outside-view. If you have installed the textures from dropbox, i'd uploaded an update-package there too, please download the updated textures here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/n8j0awbh1ucshod/Update_1.1.zip

Greetings :wavey: Dirk
 
first paint for this amazing Plane

Really? Are you serious? You HAD to paint it in ERAU colors. Now I have to get that plane. How could you do this to me? :jump:

Looks great! Keep up the great work!
 
WIP of my dear old SX-AWD outside the Athens Aeroclub hangar in Tatoi. After having painted this for the Carenado model, the A2A paintkit was a blast.

The realone is actually an "M" model so I'm going to release it after I've managed to repaint the interior to be cream with light blue leather seats and door panels.





real one:

This one will be next, same airport, different club. My favorite ride so far in my limited flying time (a "P" model this time, quite posh inside, needs to have black panel, brown leather seats and tinted glass):

Well, the interior of the older models is so much different that I decided it is not worth trying to change the colours only (there are no headrests, the door sides are plain and the panel has an extra cover). I will release the exteriors of SX-AWD and SX-AEW in a few days. I hope I'll be able to at least do the tinted glass in AEW.

What scenery is this?
Andy
 
This is the Tatoi AB Scenery, the first one I made a couple of years ago. It is available here and at AVSIM.

I have been working on it over the years mainly to reduce the cliffs and plateaus due to the difference in elevation north and south. I have not released any updates as they are still WIP. You may however get the latest version here:

Great Paint Dimus! still regularly use your Tatoi scenery for virtual commuting between Athens and Thessaloniki... :salute:

May I suggest a solution for easy use of Dirk's internal textures?

Create a new folder inside "A2a_c172" called:
\interiors
In this folder copy all of Dirk's provided inner textures folders like:
\black
\black_d
etc.

Now you choose the C172 texture you want to change the interiors.
Open \texture.xxxx
Backup the original texture.cfg
Open texture.cfg with a notpad and change as following:

[fltsim]

fallback.1=..\..\A2a_c172\interiors
fallback.2=..\..\A2a_c172\interiors\blue_d
fallback.3=..\texture

Save

In this example I chose \blue_d. You can change this into any of the provided colors.
 
Almost there with the SX-AEW too. I got the right tint on the glass but some of it has spilled on the landing light glass too. I can't seem to find their location on the glass texture. Any hints appreciated.





The real one again on the same location more or less:
