Aero L-39 Albatros

I'm sure the L-39 skins could be uploaded here at SOH. Afterall, it looks like she's found a home here at SOH. ;)

Never really cared about the L-39 much I'm surprised who wide spread it is these days. It even made it to Afghanistan...


About marines and L-39 I just wondered because they could have chosen something ... more NATO like the HAWK or AlphaJet. One the one hand it's nice to see that ex "communist" planes are used now but on the other hand it still looks strange to my eyes. I couldn't get my head around the USAF using the Mig-29 for example.

Well, it was produced and exported in large numbers.Are available for sale because are fazed out and replaced ,Romanian ZA,s are for sale here in US for about 300,000 $ for exmple, wich is very cheap for a military jet .Others donated or sold them to Afghan AF as I can see..
Performance wise was pretty modest if compared with other similar trainer less famous aircrafts,from ex socialist block I.A.R 99 Soim comes to mind.
I,m sure USA has evaluated almost everything that has wings or not. At one point they all had USAF markings for a brief period:,Su- 27,Mig15,21,29 ,Hind etc..

Thank's for all, Olivier.

Olivier, les repaints ne sont pas encore sortis. Faudra patienter un peu.

Jean-Paul

Sorry guys, I only told Olivier in French that the repaints weren't available yet. You didn't miss anything.
 
Hello,
This wait is difficult because these skins are very beautiful and the creator of L-39 offered us a true present before Christmas because since I bought this addon I spend many hours to be piloted L-39.

A big bravo to the creator of this wonderful addon.

In French: Salut Jean-Paul je suis très heureux de faire ta connaissance et merci pour ton aide.
In English: Hello Jean-Paul I'm very happy to meet you and thank's for your help.

Best regards and once again great and nice work for this addon and for your skins everybody.
Olivier.
 
Hi Oli. On the racer, if you look in the end of the manual I've indicated there how to use textures without mips for Pipsqueak. They are contained in a separate folder within Pip's texture folder. That will help clean up the compression artifacts, but they may shimmer a little as a result. Unfortunately DDS texture compression kind of hates diagonal lines with extremely high and sharp colour contrast. This could be cured I suppose with 32 bit textures, but my primary goal for this aircrraft was high framerate performance, and in some cases a compromise like this was neccessary. 32 bit would slam the performance pretty hard.

Cheers,

-Mike
 
@yago9: Is that pic from FSX (a repaint) or a real photo. I looked at it for a long time but I honestly can't say. Some things point towards photo but when I look at your paints I'm simply not sure...

@Lotus: Just stumbled about that subfolder, gonna test it out now. I know what you mean, I've had a few problems on diverse paints with high-contrast lines and curves. Really a pain in the butt. What helped a lot was using higher res textures (2048 square) with DXT-compression. I tested that out on a paint of my Stratocruiser. There was no fps-difference when changing size vs a noticeable one when changing to 32bit. Not sure, but FSX does not react so much in respect to the texture size at it does react to compression/32bit. And on 2048-sized textures those issues were practically invisible.
 
Underside = same blue as fuselage with lithuanian markings, as for the 16 not a clue on font but you can probably hand draw it in 5 minutes flat... its the Lithuanian Trainer aircraft scheme i believe.
 
Ah yes. Looking at the second photo I can just about see the Lithuanian roundel on the other wing aswell. Cheers!
 
Mr. Lotus,

I purchased your aircraft and it is Sweeeeet!!!! :medals::applause:

Now, please, teach Mr. Dino Cattaneo some of your tricks (Ice/Rain-effect on VC) so, we can see them in his FREEWARE F-14D and perhaps in his upcoming PAYWARE F-35; And, get some royalties for all your efforts too. :running:

Looking forward to your next one and Thanks again. :wavey:
 
would love to see an FSX native MB339A / PAN jet of "Frecce Tricolori" with the same level of detail
only problem is that this plane is fairly unknown outside Europe
