Another nice little Saab jet.

[Blackbird686]

I have the Saab 105, It's for FS9 but might work in FSX. I did a texture fix which gets rid of the "blurries" on the model. It's more of a casual flyer, will work with the "Cntl:E" and other Flight Simulator commands. If there's an interest in this visually georgeous little plane, I bundle the whole kit, and upload it here.

Yes please do upload your version! Thank you.

Is it the Saab 105 by Tiger Staffel ? I have it (released in 2013 maybe) and a native FSX version was available back then. Textures are indeed a bit low-res...

But I can't find it for download... The Wayback Machine has kept the Saab 105 web page, but not the installer...

@vonstroheim ,

What do you use for your AMAZING mountain scenery in your first screenshot showing the Swedish plane? The mountains look CRISP SHARP and realistic.

Then by all means....
I converted the external textures from DXT-1 to High Res using Martin Wright's DXTbmp. It really crisps up the model nicely.

That's the French Alps by FranceVFR (payware):

Actually I have the cheaper/older version with no autogen, nice all the same:

Simviation has the FS9 version, there's a FSX native one at the russian Avsim. Authors Christian Haibock, Thomas Czerny. Proceed with caution...

Thanks for answer. I love and have VFR France products but I bought sceneries of French Caribbean islands. Will check out the French Alps scenery. Does it work in winter setting with snow?

Summer only sorry, but there's some snow left at higher altitude! No heatwave in FSX...

Can't wait for new/improved repaints!

Hello,
I found this photo of the SAAB 105 on the web with a very beautiful livery!
Could anyone make it?
Thank you.

Perhaps that photo is of a repaint that already exists, which was created by Christian Haiböck and can be found on the RB Design website -

Hello,
Thank you Rohan, unfortunately, these textures are for FS9 models, and are not adaptable to the full FSX model!

The mapping on the native FSX model is complex and, in the absence of any sort of paintkit (unless I missed it), I think recreating that scheme is a non-runner, certainly above my pay grade. However, the initial part of the installation process puts in a 'basic' model (at least it did on mine) which does share the same mapping as the SK.60 on the RBDesign site; so the selection of repaints in that pack would be usable, albeit with the upscaling suggested by Blackbird. Certainly the route I am taking.
