Thank you, Milton. I am so glad whenever a Shupe plane is released.

Thanks very much Mr. Shupe. Yet another excellent, top of the line, payware quality aircraft in the hangar. Christmas all year long!
 
Hey guys; thanks for the comments. I'm just happy that these products still provide some flying pleasure for you.

I have the French civilian one as a WIP at the moment. It will require 3-5 days to complete.

this is not a complaint or anything of the sort,just a conversational comment.but it would have been nice to see a T89 in Joe "Hoser" Satrapa livery,yes i know that the only difference would be his name under the windows,but he was such a well loved pilot by ground pounders as well as other pilots,something in his memory would be nice.id even get fsx back just to fly it.lol

Hi Dave,

I understand your sentiment.

Keep in mind that I simply converted this 2013 project to FSX native. There is no one on this project but me and I do not do paints. :) The paints were done in 2013 by Firekitten.

I agree, it would be nice if someone could do that paint scheme.

Hello Milton,
You could have asked me the french texture since it was me who did it, it would have made me happy.
Regards
Marty

Hi Marty. :)

Yes, I know well who did this beautiful livery. I was going to release this without bumps and specs and there was nothing required to be done to the textures if that was the situation.

However, about 2 hours ago, I decided to add bumps and specs and that is now done and tested.

I started to email you earlier to let you know and see if you wanted to enhance the existing textures to take advantage of the FSX features, but decided I would just send you the package anyway once all the changes were tested. I have just completed the testing and will upload a package for you.

Of course, it is your decision whether to enhance the textures or not.

Thanks

EDIT: Marty. my comments above regarding Firekitten's paints were regarding the thread original S2TCDF release for the California Dept. Of Forestry, not the version you painted.

Great timing and nicely done FSX native conversion, just watched one launch from Redding,CA a couple of days ago. Log in to SOH, and here's a thread on it!

Marty,

The release you painted (s2t civilian PT6 version) is a different model from the one that Firekitten painted.

If you look at the pics I posted with your livery, it is the S2Turbo with wing tanks. That is the model I am working on now and just finished converting to FSX native.

That is the model I uploaded for you; link I sent in email.
