I don't understand why you would insult me by that remark ? I was going to share my liveries if some one ask, I spent my life trying to help people and now every time I post on this site I get slammed, I will post no more. Lee
 
NAMC YS-11 fil-asian airways

Boxcar, thanks for your generous comments and the tip for touchdown effects - I'll certainly give them a go. The repaint is almost finished, just a bit of checking and tidying up to do. I'll most likely upload here and the usual places. It's the least I can do given the generosity of those who created the model and other repaint authors whose work I am enjoying. Most likely two versions - one with tailfin deicer boots painted and one unpainted. Painted is accurate to photos of the actual aircraft but I prefer unpainted and I have seen photos of other YS-11s in fil-asian service with unpainted boots so not too inaccurate.

Lee- Fascinating, that you'd take my remark as insulting. Nothing could be further from the truth. Admittedly, not everyone shares my rather unique sense of humor and there was absolutely no offence intended. If you want to use this as an excuse not to share with others then that's your call, and if so then that would be most unfortunate in my estimation to withhold your work from our community over a misunderstanding. Am happy to take this more fully via PM should you desire, sir.

erm, the boots aren't painted, normally a natural rubber black boot glued onto the leading edge, the tails (aeroplanes) without the black boots ie painted same as rest of plane, are early production models. The rubber boots were added later in production run after test flying for icing had been completed.

Yep, I would generally agree. But, perhaps I didn't explain myself properly or I'm not quite understanding the point you're making. The repaint is of a mature aircraft that had been flown by several airlines before fil-asian operated it between 2011 and 2014 - as such it is not a prototype. However, photos of the fil-asian aircraft show it with the tailfin deicer boot overpainted white - at least that's the way I see it. Personally, I prefer the fin deicing boot painted black rather than white. I will include both variations in my repaint when I upload it.

ps by painted I mean showing as black or white in the photo/repaint whether that means black 'rubber boot fitted' or white 'no rubber boot fitted' in real life.

Lee,

Don't take Boxcar too serious. I think you just became a victim of his weird sense of humor (although he calls it "unique")
When you don't want to be confronted with his messages you can easily put him on your ignore list..... (See below)

Cheers,
Huub

Thank you.

Hmmm... unsure about "victim", Huub. Have thought for the longest time that no one gets offended unless they want to be.
My better friends have taught me this over the decades... and everywhere I travel my better friends are peace officers. They're
also the ones branding my sense of humor as "unique" over the years. "Strange", in my own words. Again, no harm intended.


When you don't want to be confronted with his messages you can easily put him on your ignore list.
...or he can just ignore me like most everyone else here, heh! :rolleyes-new: The exceptions are respected and appreciated, really.

Look, have said this before and will say it once again: Many people don't care for me at first, especially online, though if
they'll make an effort to respond instead of react, to communicate, engage me, get to know one another just a skosh then
they really can't stand me. :smile-new: 'Nuff about that (I hope).



Moving right along, the weather was great for soaring today, even a hundred miles west near Laramie Peak in Wyoming.
Haven't got a sailplane addon yet. Only have 10 addon aircraft packages in my FS2004 hangar so far, keeping it simple.
The default Schweizer 2-32S would have to suffice for now. Got a tow out of 76V, Thomas Memorial, Glendo, dirt strip.
It was fun...




Laramie Peak looms large beside Glendo.





76V, Thomas Memorial by the reservoir. Am (in)famous there too. Why, they even...





...erected a memorial in my honor. :stung:

Never ever crashed my Schleicher ASW28 years ago, but this one hates me.​

.
 
Now that was a blast form my past...AND present!
I learned in the 2-32 back when I had just turned 15, long and long ago! Although, honestly, that looks more like the 126. The 2-32 was a high wing, 2seat job. Stable, great to learn in. The 126 was closer, not quite but closer, to a high-performance glider.

But ANYwho...

My middle daughter got out of the Corps, and now lives in Laramie. Wave to her as you sail over :D

Have fun!
Pat☺

It must be my old age 73,that I now let things bother me , I would never withhold any help from any one on this site.

I go to this site several times a day and found a good friend from Hungry on this site. I read the remark with no sleep and a 73 year old brain and took it wrong.I know there was no harm now, I guess at my age I need to get more sleep. Lee

Ah, gotcha, don't know why they would do that (overpaint a de-icer boot) ; it would mean the boot no longer functioned ; unless they had changed their flight manual for no flights in icing conditions? hmmm

But yes early build (not prototype) YS-11 did not have boots fitted, here is serial 2023 with no boots

likewise 2029

by the time we get to 2062 ; boots installed

NAMC YS-11 fil-asian airways (finished?)

Well, I think I've fiddled and tweaked it as much as I can so here is the finished article. I'll package and upload it later today or more likely tomorrow. I'll include an alternative tailfin texture with the black/rubber deicer boot on leading edge for those who, like me, prefer that look.

Hi Pete, totally understand and agree with you. It does seem strange but I think fil-asian overpainted them. Take a look at this photo...

https://www.airliners.net/photo/Fil-Asian-Airways/NAMC-YS-11A-522/2829195

They look overpainted to me as I can see bleed through of the underlying black boot. Of course, it might just be that they removed the rubber boot and what I'm actually seeing is residual staining rather than bleed through. My eyes may be deceiving me as I get older ;-)

Pat- Yes, the lines MS gave her do make her appear a bit 1-26. Yesterday after posting here, a lot of researching was accomplished. Downloaded a couple of files to update the default sailplane to hopefully avoid future memorials. A Schleicher ASW 28 too that will hold me for now. Would love to have a 1-26 in the sim as well as irl but haven't found one for FS2004 yet and I'm a broke philanthropist. Laramie is chill. This one's for you, man, virtual Wyoming west of Dayton...

Lee- Am thinking we're much more alike then different. Ever hear of the "4 Agreements", an excellent work by Don Miguel Ruiz?

Be impeccable with your word.
Don't take anything personally.
Don't make assumptions.
Always do your best.

Have had 3 of the 4 down well through my life, though still have the tendency to take things personally. A lack of sleep never helps, me too sometimes. So many times over the decades I've posted things in forum replies early in the morning before my widdle bwain had enough joe to begin to fire on all thrusters, and many of those posts went south due to my taking things wrong. Am only 65. Maybe when we're 120 years old then we'll have it all down right. Good benefits come with being 120 too: You can smoke, drink, do drugs, no one bothers you, you won't get arrested, they leave you be. :) (good luck with that) This one's for you, Lee, another "blast from the past"...

Taff- Heya, just learned something. "Taff/Taffee" is essentially Welch for "David", my name also. Your repainted YS-11 looks really good, thanks for your willingness to share the skins. Take care of the lady and she'll always bring you back home with feel-good inside of you. This one's for you, from my home base...

YS-11 fil-asian airways - uploaded.

Have just uploaded it here at sim-outhouse, should hopefully be available soon. Look for AFG_NAMC_YS11_fil-asian-airways.zip

Wasn't quite as finished as I thought, added a few extra details and completely repainted the tailfin logo to better match the colours, design and dimensions of the actual aircraft/livery. Right, time for my bed.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Doh!

I have just uploaded v2 of my repaint which now includes textures for the wheel chocks, warning cones and 'remove before flight' tags when the aircraft is parked with engines switched off.

Look for AFG_NAMC_YS11_fil-asian-airways_v2.zip

The movie "Always" is so enjoyable. Being able to fly Pete's A-26B is a gift for a gift...









Landing Rwy 23, 3 to 5 knot winds from 312 with mild turbulence configured @ 1.4x. Love flying her!
Am grateful to the nearly 100 SOH members who contributed to this fine project. May you all live long and prosper!​

rgatkinson- You'll also love their KA 300. smooooooooooooooooth From this a.m.'s flight...



If you give her a go then be sure to grab the V1.01 update. Nice skins are also available for this fine bird. She looks great in the hanger beside their YS-11.​

boxcar - thanks for the suggestion downloading it as I type. Your suggestion prompted me to check my FS2004 freeware archive (I have almost 130Gb saved) which proved I didn't have their KA 300 but I do have their PC-12, Caravelle and also their YS-11 but an older version perhaps v2.5 The nice thing is though that my older YS-11 archive appears to have a few v2.7 compatible repaints that I've so far failed to find elsewhere - happy days indeed.

Taff

ps in response to a comment you made in an earlier post. As far as I'm aware Taff is a generic nickname for Welsh people used after the river Taff which runs through our lovely capital city, Cardiff in South Wales. The Welsh form of David is, as far as I'm aware, Dafydd (pronounced Daf-fid) shortened alternatives being Dai (pronounced Die) or Dewi (pronounced Dewee). My name in Welsh is Rhisiart :mixed-smiley-010:
