Huub,
All you have to do with small tex templates it to just re-size them using the recognised standard of 256/512/1024/2048 in Fs9 and 4096 in FSX. Teds Hind's are in 1024, you can re-size them to 2048, and carry on with your repaint, keeping them that size when saving...in the attched pic I've just resized them to 2048 and they display the same.

Presumably saved with mip-maps enabled? That way the 1024 size of the 2048 texture ( ie first mip level) is what you see ( per discussion in another thread ) . That's fine if your system / graphics card can cope with missing, but some folks with ATI Radeon cards (like me) may have to resize them to 1024 anyways.

Pete,
Nope, that last pic was taken on my XP machine fitted with a Sapphire Ati Radeon 4890, and as said, the texs are at 2048, with no MIPs.

It really comes down to how Fs9 uses LODs and MIPs. Obviously it's not essential with Fs9 ac, as we know, but how helpful are they has never been defined. LOD's are really only for CFS2 aircraft, they're not in CFS1 and 3, Fs9 or FSX aircraft by default, only in their sim scenery. Fs9/FSX obviously was designed for single ac flying, only meeting ai ac and airport traffic now and again.

The question is, for Fs9, do you need LOD's?; if you do, do you need MIPs?; and which is better, to have both LODS and MIPs or either?? And if either, then which is better LODs or MIPs?.....my brain hurts now!

Cheers

Huub,
What's happened, with my thumbnail pics, they're not clickable and large size viewable now (also others from other posters)? The first set of Hind pics were uploaded from my XP pc, the single one from my Win10 pc, and that one is large size by default. Please don't tell me that the new server provider has changed things or just a minor glitch?
 
This from my Win10 pc. Ahh found the issue, if you load more than one pic it will not allow them to display small and be clickable to a larger size. We had this problem before years ago, also you can't see your uploaded images in the file selector as well. A glitch in the system.

Cheers

And where did you find that one Huub?
Looks like Wim Regers model, with one of your paintjobs

Hi Pete,

It is Wim's Fokker FS9 Fokker C.X and as I did the (exterior) paintwork for him all it is indeed a paint job by me. It is available here in our library. When you do a text search on "regeer" it will pop up, together with his Fokker D.17 a Hawker Fury like fighter and some additional liveries, which I did to enable me to take screenshot of the Fokker C.X flying in formation.

If I had done some better thinking I could have realised that the wings were not canvas covered, but all wood, like all Fokker wings were in those days.

There is a very nice full size replica, which can be seen here. One side is more or less finished the other side doesn't have canvas over the fuselage, so you can see the internal construction.

As you can see it is quite a large aircraft with a wingspan of 12 metres and over 9 metres long.

The man you see at this picture is Jack van Egmond, who has restored many warbirds and is now constructing a full size flying Fokker D.XXI fighter, which contains more original parts than many restored warbirds.....

Cheers,
Huub
 
On 7 October 1919 The KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) was founded, as one of the first commercial airline companies. To celebrate this event a TV series was made, called Vliegende Hollanders (Flying Dutchman) which is mainly about the (difficult) relation between Albert Plesman (the man behind KLM and one of the first Directors) and Anthony Fokker (the aircraft builder).

So far only one episode has been shown and it looks quite promising. There is a mixture of real aircraft and computer generated aircraft and sometimes a mixture where they have build a part and added the rest with a computer. One full size replica was build for this serie, as it played an important role for both Fokker and the KLM.
This a Fokker F.VII/3m. The Fokker F.VII/3m is an aircraft with an interesting story. The original F.VII had a single engine. As engines were not that reliable in 1925 Fokker already had plans to produce a three engined version. This idea was also pushed by the Dutchman Robert B.C Noorduyn (yes the one from the Norseman, Bellanca and Pitcairn...), who represented Fokker in the US. In 1925 Ford organised the Ford Reliability Tour and the first three engined Fokker F.VII was entered.

The replica full size replica is finished in the colours of the Fokker in the Ford Reliability Tour. I think the aircraft will also appear with the registration PH-AEZ, with which it is currently on display in the Durch Transport museum.

The real thing in 1925

And Jens B. Kristensen's model in the Replica's colours (still work in progress)

The squadron badge is displayed on the fin; inside the 8 pointed star symbol which (at the time) denoted the squadron role.

Hi Huub, where this vintage Shiphol came from?

Bernard,

This is an unfinished version of 1940 Schiphol by Cees Donker. The old terminal came from freeware scenery for Lelystad made by somebody else.

And the Pumpkin, of course, is Aeroplane Heaven's Pumpkin, from 2003..in 2x versions, the Ed Harley version, from the 1988 horror film Pumpkinhead, & the Ichabod Crane version,
 
Flying in the mountains isn't simple with an under powered aircraft like the Fokker F.VIIa

IIRC the DVII was designed by Fokkers Chief Engineer, Reinhold Platz ( later to become Chief Designer)

Correct! Reinhold Platz entered the service from Fokker already before the Great War (1912) as a welder. Because he was one of the few who was able to weld aluminum he had a lot of influence. He was already involved in the design of the Dr.1 and I think he was also responsible for the design of the D.VIII.

After the war Platz joined Fokker in the Netherlands, and was responsible for the design of many of Fokker's early airliners. Most likely because he lacked the required education he was not able to convert to newer techniques and materials. In 1931 he left Fokker and joined Pander.

Anthony Fokker was mainly a smart salesman. Although he was most likely involved in the design of new aircraft, these were mainly designed by people who worked for him.

Huub

He was very good at selecting his employees, an important ability for any businessman in any industry.

He was a good pilot too, so he could personally evaluate his company's products.
