SOH-CM-2022
got to sit down at the box today and was playing around with this beauty.

It's a conversion originally made for FS9 by Dave Garwood, Dave Booker,
Saverio Maurri and Brian Withers.
 
DH 89 right? One of my favorites, looks like an aeroplane of that period should look. I'm going to have to download it. Hope it has some skins with it.
 
Howdy Hern, it is a DH89, forgot to include that little tidbit. And there is several skins for it but unfortunately most are civies over at flightsim.
I'll be checking for repaints here at the house today, hopefully one with the passengers looking like goverment issue personnel. :d

Is this one you converted or has it been uploaded someplace. I have been hankering to do a conversion on that very same plane...but it if is already done, no need to redo it.

OBIO
 
Even if it has been converted, who do we know that does excellent repaints of the older British airplanes? Hmmmmmm. By the way you can find the AC here at the Outhouse. :d

It's one I converted and to my knowledge it's not been done before. Also I "borrowed" an airfile and have yet to do the gauges for her so it still needs some attention.

Also, I was UTL on any repaints here at the SOH for it.

Soooo if you have a hankering for another project......:d
 
Some wartime military schemes would be nice. The BOAC one shown is wartime so that is a good place to begin, no need to try and get the camo to match up:isadizzy:
 
Thanks Buddha, Thats not the first time I've converted an a.c. and then find out it's already been done. :ernae:

Same here....the library is so huge that unless you have been here from day one, it will take 10 years to really know what all is in there.

The Dragon Rapide that Buddha is pointing to is a conversion of the FS2002 version of David Garwood's Dragon Rapide. It is a very nice conversion but there are no WW2 skins for it.

The air and dp file drop straight into a conversion of the FS2004 version of the aircraft. The advantage of the FS2004 version is that there are a few WW2 skins available if you search on FlightSim or AvSim.

I started to convert it and use it to buzz around in but I never got the panel sorted out so I never bothered to upload it.

PM me if you want any of the files

Gavin
 
Ha! Gavin you beat me to it!
I noticed that the fs9 version is version2 with improved 2D & 3D cockpit's I'm nearly done with the gauges so if you want I'll send them your way.

Actually, I'm just reusing the gauges from the earlier conversion and placing them on the newer models panels. So I'll just post the panel config. here when it's done...still got the 3d to do. hopefully done by tonight.

:ernae:
 
Alrighty then

I put together a panel config. for the fs9 DH89.

It's not of Bearcat or Obio quality but it will do...and Gavin now you can upload your conversion if the panel passes muster with ya.

Just rename the file "panel.cfg" and then put into the aircrafts panel folder. :ernae:

Hi Gedm,
Sorry - I didn't mean to steal your thunder, actually I was trying to encourage you to keep pressing forward. Doing panels is always my sticking point.

Gavin
 
Another triumph for the collaborative effort of the 'Basement' faithful. Looking forward to the upload gents:ernae:

Never took it as such gavinc, I figured if you already where pressing forward I'd just help out.
And truth be told, I've never got that upload thing worked out, keep intending to bug Douglas about it but seems like "stuff" keeps getting in the way. :isadizzy:

So I defer you my good man! :ernae:
 
Not a bad panel at all G - good layout, clean and simple....a plane like this one needs a simple panel and i do have a penchant for OVERKILL at times...lol

Maybe reduce the vertical stretch on the compass
and the pressure/temp gauges [two on bottom right].​
