Arkia and Wideroe Liveries For Dash 7, Please?

Milton Shupe said:
Typical cruise speeds per the two Dash 7 pilots that did the flight models for this version was 165kias at appropriate cruise settings. Cruise altitudes were typically 15-17K'.

Milton,

Thanks for kind explanations accompanied by cool charts. Darn I did 200kt at 14,000 ft.

What puzzles me is that Dash 7 was flown by so many past airlines and many present airlines yet I do not see any repaints for that plane except seven ones (UN, Air Greenland, old name of Air Greenland, and factory livery) from your freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7 and five Arkia liveries from Israeli flight simming circles. How come?? Or maybe there are many Dash 7 liveries somewhere on some flight simming website whose existence that I am not aware of??? I looked at flightsim, avsim, and simivation only to find liveries that are not compatible with new freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7.

There were only 113 DHC-7s built, but these 113 birds were or are showing more than 450 different combinations of liveries and registrations.

If there are no liveries, then I guess I will put repaint request for Wideroe on SOH forums.

Regards,

Aharon
 
All may not be lost ...

I pulled over the older Dash 7 (2007 version), plugged in the new sounds and panel/VC/Gauges, replaced the props, and she looks, flies, and sounds great.

Not quite the fidelity of the new one but it could easily be confused for the new one.

The flight model is the original I did but you will not have any trouble transitioning between the two.

I'll spend some more time checking it out but can make it available to you.

The textures you are after will work fine with this version.

Milton,

Thanks for all answers and thanks for looking at past liveries to make them available for all flight simmers.

Psst psst I am so happy with your freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7 hence me making a new post requesting repaint for only one airline Wideroe for your specific new model base. Smiling

Also already saw in other websites all those repaints shown in your previous post and found the fictional yellow Canadian air force rescue livery too tempting to pass or ignore!! LOL LOL Wondering if I can export that yellow Canadian rescue livery to freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7???? I also downloaded The Canadian Forces CC-132 livery and BC Air livery but I do not think those will work for your freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7.

Also another quick question about your freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7. Am I hallucinating or is it my imagination that I actually saw the pilots' heads moving and turning sideways during my first Dash 7 flight?

Regards,

Aharon

Those textures were made for the older version and will not work on the version you have. Sorry.

Yes, the pilots are animated in your version.

Just curious, why are you not running the FSX native Dash 7 here in the library? It's the same version you have but converted to FSX native.

I did not know about existence of that FSX native Dash 7 until few days after I installed your freeware FSX Port-over de Havilland Dash 7. I just discovered about FSX native Dash 7 few days later due to not exactly perfect science of search engines of both avsim and flightsim hence me being baffled by two FSX versions of Dash which is why I posted question on SOH here asking what was difference.

The native fsx version "may" give you better frame rates, does not have the occasional disappearing glass and prop issues (in clouds or certain scenery type), and has bump maps.

Other than that, they are the same.
