:isadizzy:It's all Willy's fault! Got me losin' sleep by telling me HE'S got 100 'Beech 18' repaints...

It's alright for you lot being around here since the 'Tin Bashers Art' began. Feeling smug knowin' wots 'is name has only got TWO! But he thinks this girl is Miss World, SEE! So there!...
Didnt know I had to 'sus' the secret code to find the 80 or so 'other' paints. 'Tap away all day pal' at ya favourite download site, try entering search: 'Beech 18' or some other ridiculous combination. Haha... Zilto! Zero! Nix...it's Greek to me: μηδέν!

Bet you lot were laughing ya socks off the whole time. This dumbo will never find 'em.
But I've wised up on my wing-borne buddies of the mystical arts in Aeronautical Emulation...

GOTCHA! Yep! Sussed yer little code out, I did! Wised up ta ya little tricks we 'av!

I got a little black book with my poems in, I got a silver spoon on a chain...
and among all the other goodies I got: the 'Buffalo' repaint by Marcus, 67296 by Jim Boynton and more Beech 18's than Willy's had hot dinners. So there!

...and so, cleverdicks WHERE'S THE BALLY AMPHIBIAN REPAiNTS ? Someone spill the beans round here!
COS I'VE ONLY GOT TWO...

That one can't fool me anymore...I'll spell it in Her Majesty's plain Belgian:

WHERE ARE THE BEECH 18 AMPHIBIAN REPAINTS H I D D E N ?
(the one WITHOUT wheels, ya know, wont sink)

and cut out this 'dunno what ya mean' stuff!...

Hey, where's Smoothie? He wont hide them...bet YOU lot have hidden HIM !

...conspiracy...humbug:bump: Sascha66...indeed, bet its another secret code name in this whole coverup!
And it certainly seems 'fishy' that Milton just 'happens' to be away on R&R...bet in Alaska or somewhere in his BEECH 18 AMPHIBIAN, easy to hide. Cos I know he'd tell me where they are. Wouldn't he?
 
Off his rocker!

Yeah, he's got to be hasn't he. I mean, what other looney would be answering his own thread?
Not quite right! Nutta! Bit...ya know up there in the head! (they say he's heard the voices, the bells or something...keeps coming out with 'M' words).

And who's the bright spark then, who had me tailed by those two men in white suits ever since I joined SOH? You know, sort of 'men in black', but in white if it makes any sense. Hey, hang-on...
SOH...Secret Operations... I'm beginning to get it!

And all this: no silly, not because the lady loves Milk Tray...because I'd like some repaints for the aircraft of my life! And you lot keep hiding them from me...
 
sounds too easy...

Amphib repaints are same mapping.

Com-Central has a boat load of repaints for all our aircraft in one place, and usually packaged together with the work done for you.

If you haven't joined, do so.

If you do, you will have access to the D18S and Amphib packs here:

http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=Downloads&file=search&key=pick

So, take that! :)

Now your talking Turkey!

Nothing sounds easier! After nearly six years of waiting, God, allah, Milton or whoever does the prayer duties seems to have answered.

But! If this is some wisecracks idea of fun and is missusing Milton's identity (in order to 'lead me up the garden path') while this poor overworked gentleman is trying to get some rest, then be WARNED: if this HU leads me on a wild Grumman Goose trail the consequences will be dire!
I will in such circumstances use all influence available to me and persuade Milton Shupe to deny the culprits a new version of the Dash 7, and in its stead give you a massive 'red and white' job (the name of which I am obliged not to reveal) that none of you will be able to land at ANY of your fancy airports.

But if this is really you Milton, :ernae: thanks pal!

Poor who...?

Jeepers, now I've got this guy magoo on my case. And so the plot thickens...:mixedsmi:

...and where have you all hidden my pal Smoothie, got him stashed in the boot of a 'Beech 18' doing forced labour repaints for other crates no doubt...

...just because he was caught making bulk orders for red and white high grade aviation enamel, doesn't mean the poor bloke has anything to do with the whole scenario! Leave 'im alone!:running:
 
Revenge...!

Right that's it!

The man 'posing' as Milton Shupe is suspect! "All colours of the rainbow can be found for the Beech 18s amphibian at the above site" he says ..."and it doesn't matter about those darned floats". No way pal, Milton wouldn't say that. He's right though, you can even take a peep at them. Join up, join up the sign says, so always willing to help out in hours of dire, I joins up!

But someones being 'sneaky' and probably warns the 'join up here' bloke that there's this looney going round making eyes at everyone's Beech 18 (Bet it's Willy, now that I've got the wheel version repaints. Lock, stock and two smokin' barrels!). The 'join up here' bloke's really slik though! Sends me an e-mail saying "we're reviewing the situation" we'll let you know. You know the sort of thing...just like the Greek National Bank these days. Real polite stuff an' all!

...we're reviewing the situation, cod's wallop! 3 hours, 48 minutes, 24 seconds...still no special key. Who's he trying to kid? He's been 'got to' I say.
"we're reviewing the situation" what is this, Oliver Twist?

So! Enough is enough!... this means war! And don't say I didn't warn you all!

:USA-flag:This is, as they say Hollywood style: Payback!...Time to kick ass!
This is the cavalry coming to the rescue! In the great, full-blown, no stops pulled, wide-screen, technicolor, do-or-die, American true spirit of grit, adventure and style!

GO HERE AT YOUR PERIL!!!

...and you just wait till Milton gets back from them there lakes...gonna tell him everything!
 
I got most of mine in that Com Central pack. Look carefully though as there's a few paints in there that aren't listed on the aircraft.cfg listing. Some I already had, and I had some that weren't in there. Mostly what I had already that they didn't were the airline paints (American, Delta, Piedmont, etc.) and the Merc Air paints.

As for the amphibs and floatplanes, like Milton said, the paints are the same, just add the bitmap for the pontoons and they work fine. That's all I did for my Merc Air "Nitro Express" cargo plane to make it fill all three models.

The guys at ComCentral are pretty good people. A lot of 'em hung out here at one time or another.

I think my work here is done.... ;)

Hmmmm .. I wonder if their registration system still working at all ...
Registration page tell 3 steps ...
When all filled in the first registration page (user name + adress mail twice) and register button hit ... nothing happen ...
Very strange ..... seem's it's a error somewhere.

EDIT:
OK finally it's worked after multilple attempts .. :)
Now I'm waiting one admin to wake up and confirm the registration .... :)

Not a bad little bush floater... :ernae:

I think AlphaSim did one.

I luv ya Willy! Right on the mark. They did do 'one'.

But this is poetry in motion, sheer beauty. Purity in elegance, grace and perfection.
This is Art, and the canvas as yet untouched.
It's the symbolic culmination of the sophistication never far from American aviation.
The sleek purposeful design of genious...Oh God! Here I go again...
 
I thought about getting it, but it doesnt take off very well from a runway. I like my floaters to at least have wheels that I take off from land as well. Bill Lyons' Sikorsky S43 has a permanent home in my hanger.

See! Now even Willy is softening. He has allowed his thought proccess to entertain the possibility of 'owning' this exemplary specimen of the 'tin basher's art'. And that, coming from a guy like Willy is the 'super classic understatement' Don't anyone be misled: this guy ain't easily moved.
You see, Willy's that kind of guy that's cool as a cucumber when the sh.. hits the fan.
He's the wingman who when the 'heat' is on in a dogfight and the 'bogies' are crawling up your neck (and in the sweat, you momentarily glimpse over your shoulder): gives you the thumbs up! And you just know he's all grins under that oxygen mask. Rock steady!...bit like Rami really.

For the uninitiated, what he's really saying in layman's terms is this: I've been wanting to fly this baby ever since I learned to say 'Super Constellation'. And when he says wheels, read: mooring protection is essential for the paintwork. What do you expect-does he have to spell it out? Willy looks after his planes! He provides hangar facilities in adverse conditions. Why? Because he longs to be up there yonder in the blue. Its what he does best. Not closed up in some smelly respray shop wasting precious flying time.
You tell 'em Willy!

And don't worry buddy, bet we can fix you up with a dandy slipway next to a purpose built shiny hanger with beautifully sign written: 'Fly Merc Air'
and subtitled: 'all properliners welcome!'...(in blue I think):ernae:

I'm just not getting through to you guys, am I? Don't you see?
Its not what you do for the 'sign up here' bloke. It's who you know!

Now they're taking it out on this poor guy Crusader! Why?....Why,Why,Why?

BECAUSE THIS INNOCENT FELLOW DECIDED TO EXPAND HIS COLLECTION OF
BEECH 18S A M P H I B I A N repaints

You see Crusader I now have a key to OZ!Yes Siree! It came in my mailbox this morning.
Thought it was another bluff. NO! I now proudly own the 66 repaints, the whole 157 mBugger lot! How? Because I went PUBLIC and threatened those responsible at SOH with this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEeNmSOEgQY

The secret is to fill in the register thoroughly and SLOWLY. No spaces if using two word names.
Then when you submit each stage (three I think) on pressing submit WAIT it takes sometime.
Patience Cusader!
 
I'm getting spooked.

I've never seen Willy "go soft" before.....

....Could it be the end of the world as we know it...? (And who feels fine?)
