AH 2 Blade textures

Hi Huub,
Have you tried the texture folder MkI_2Blader? There seems to be a number of prop related textures in there, all related to the 2 blade propeller.

Hope this helps​

Yes, the prop spinner texture for the two-blader is "WoodenProp_t.bmp" as found in the Texture.MkI_2Blader folder.

Thank guys, I got it.

When you have the name its easy to find. My Texture.MkI_2Blader folder contains only 3 files. The fuselage texture, the wings texture and a generic texture for the 3 bladed prop (AH_hurricane_spinexpro.bmp). As I already more or less expected the "WoodenProp_t.bmp" textures was located in the main texture file. However I expected a filename with the usual "AH_" prefix.

Cheers,
Huub

It doesn't happen that often that you can fly a brand new early Mk.I Hurricane with fabric wings, even before the factory marking are applied

Lovely Huub,

takes me back to the late 1970's when I was painting my Airfix 1/24th scale Hawker Hurricane before applying decals. What a kit that was!

Are you planning a Belgian Hurricane repaint by any chance?? Looks that way!

Priller,

Mind you, but this is the FS9 Hurricane. I already did a Belgian paint for the FSX verion of the AH Hurricane.

Due to the texture lay-out the repaint possibilities are a bit limited, but still I have several repaints for the early fabric winged Hurricanes in mind. Whether I can all do them is depending on what the texture layout will allow me to do.

• the Belgian Hawker Hurricane I H-22 of 2/1/2 Aé (Chardon) at Schaffen-Diest (Airfix model)
• an alternative livery for a "treble 1" Hurricane (L1584) (Airfix model)
• the Hurricane L-1555 flown by squadron leader John Gilan
• the Hurricane "C" flown by flight officer E.J. Kain 73sqn.
• the Hurricane "J" which I also did for the FSX model (or perhaps I will take "L" this time)
• the Finnish Hurricane HC-460, which had still fabric wings after the update these Hurricanes received
• and I might do the Hurricane flown by the Polish pilot sergeant Josef Frantisec who still flew a fabric winged Mk.1 in September 1940

So I have quite a list in mind, now I have to see what the possibilities are..............

I would have loved to do some Battle of France Hurricanes, but these are impossible as the texture lay-out won't allow the "night/white" under surface which was typical for this period.

Cheers,
Huub

Hold on!!

You did an FSX repaint for the Hurricane?

Do you mind posting a link to it please? I'm horrible using the search function on this site!

I just realised I did never upload the repaints I did for the AH/JF FSX Hawker Hurricane. I can remember I wasn't very happy with the result, which is most probably why. I will dig up the textures and upload them.

But here is work in progress on the FS9 Hurricane, which is a bit easier to repaint.

Looks SWEET, Huub! Excellent so far...

Niemand tergt mij zonder gevaar............... (Nobody provokes me without danger......)

Most Belgian Hurricanes were destroyed on the ground, during the first Luftwaffe attacks on the 10th of May 1940.

I will post some images from the FSX version in the FSX screenshot thread.

Cheers,
Huub

Well this works, which opens quite some possibilities

Spectacular artwork Huub.

 

[Motormouse]

Frantisek's gets my vote Huub, he was actually Czech ... but as he had joined Polish air force , was considered Polish

Squadron leader John Gilan 1937

Number 3 from my short list. But I haven't done number 2 yet.....

Airfix model................

Oops, did anyone notice the typing error?

 

[Blackbird686]

"L1854"? Had to look for it. Airfix, now those were some awesome kits. I built quite a few when I was a kid.... brings back memories

BB686

 

[huub vink]

All number should be correct now....

The airfix model has the correct L1584

And what nobody noticed yet, Squadron Leader John W. Gillan now also has the correct number under the wing.....

I must be getting old!

And on with the next one............

 

[huub vink]

And the next one is finished also. The previous ones were all painted in the A-scheme. This one is painted in the B-scheme.
"C" from 73 squadron 1938. Like the early fabric wings and the 2 bladed Watts air screw.

Cheers,
Huub
