FSX Native Howard 500 from Milton

[Milton Shupe]

Milton, you are fire. Your hard work is really apreciated by propellers lovers like me. In a couple of months you have updated XP-47, XP-72, D18S,Fleet Aircraft 50K, Avia 56 and the Lodestar (perhaps I have forgotten some one).

What are your plans for 2019? Congratulations Milton and team.

Arkanoid

Thank you Arkanoid.

I am restricting myself to converting FS9 projects to FSX native. My eye sight is not what it used to be and I have much to do yet.

 

[Milton Shupe]

Dear Milton

WOW

I postpone my Avia 57 wish

And yes christmas is over, and easter far away-BUT

Some humble wish/suggestions to the new model(s)

bit higher VC resolution
an detachable steerinc column

with a gap lower priority

Those windows in 1 version

Trigear

Thank you for at least reading

Roland

Roland, I agree that is a nice looking aircraft. Not likely you would find any detailed 3-views from which to model it though.

I have to be careful what I take on as I have restrictions in what I can do. Teamwork is what made our projects in the past. I pretty much work alone on most conversions. New project work is barely possible now.

 

[Willy]

Oh yes! Now we're talking! I'd gotten sidetracked on doing any Howards by r/l issues. Guess I need to get back on them.

As non modeller --> just FDE,Effects,Panels if I can help just ask

Apart that its allready a miracle how far an FS2002 model has come

THANK YOU

Roland, thanks for the pics of the tri-gear version, I've never seen that before. The style of the windows make it look like a flying yacht.

 

[TuFun]

That a beautiful pic right there TuFun.

I cannot make the adjustments requested as that would nullify the whole purpose of doing this project, which was to give the original model mapping FSX/P3D compatibility. Everyone of the 26 liveries I have would have to be changed, or would be unusable.

Regarding your two paint schemes on the remapped tail versions, if I can do those two models easily, I will do them. All future paints then would have the benefit of the revisions made.

I personally wouldn't want the original version changed and have almost all the repaints for that one.

I'll rework with bumps/spec on the revised models and add N4363F, N277X plus the other two.

Flap detail that I have... would like to add the metal strips and screws.

This will give an idea with bumps added...

LOL Actually, the Howard 500 was built for FS9 and converted to FS8 for the many users of that at the time. I did the same with the D18S and a few others once I started building for FS9.

I had the same impression..like one from a Bond film..Octopussy etc..

 

[dvj]

Bring it on.

 

[Milton Shupe]

Bring it on.

Just doing some testing with a couple pf P3DV4.4 users ...

Looking for a paint kit that I can't seem to find here.

Just picked up a pack of 37 liveries from Com-Central ... link available will be posted later.

 

[Milton Shupe]

Found the original Paint Kit for the Howard 500 thanks to Willy.

Here is a link to Com-Central's pack of 37 liveries for the Howard 500 - Members only.
Liveries are setup for the original so they will need to be changed to mirror the aircraft.cfg [fltsim.nn] sections for the new release.
Over half of the liveries are already in WIP package, those done by team members over the years.
Since I already have 18 paints included, I did not see a need to add more. But if you are interested, and a member, go for it.

Wellis, Willy, Maj Kong and I are doing some testing and I hope we can get this out before too much longer.

 

[Milton Shupe]

Can anyone identify the original authors of these two paints? There were no identifying docs in the paints I have.

D-ITPP and N639SA

Milton, N639SA was done by Gregory W. Hux "Mad Max" I have his listed email, if you need it.

Also trying to identify artists who did these paints:

N785SA and Forestry Alaska C-GKFN

 

[Willy]

Milton, I was under the impression that D-ITPP was done by one of the guys at Com Central.

Strange there was no doc on it, at least that I can find.

Willy's TWA livery has been rocking my system today, and Damian's Coastal Command, Blue, and N500DR paints. Great stuff!!

N785SA also done by Gregory Hux.

I can't seem to get into Com Central's website. My log-on no longer works, and their security system won't let me re register, (won't show security word.)



Milton, check your inbox.
