The more you mess with 'fake' paint schemes the more anomalies you find trying to make them work on a different model. Took me ages to find where the left-front tiny bit of Tail fin root was mapped to....once I wanted a black bit there....and it kept on being grey .... but I found it....about as far away from 'logical' as you can get. Really needed to give up on the wing stripes on the underside....the gear doors are all over the place....was bad enough with the wingtips. The datum layers are getting convoluted in the attempt to reverse-engineer the model-map.

Here's the fake...mostly done...;)

Thank you Nigel for such a wonderful aircraft haven't flown anything else since I downloaded it. Looking forward to the release of the rest of the packages.

Maiden Captain Sims C-130 Flight

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting a nice Lockheed C-130E flight from PAFA Fairbanks International Airport located three miles southwest of the central business district of Fairbanks, Alaska to CYDA Dawson City Airport located 8 nautical miles east of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada.

CYDA Dawson City airport is TOTALLY impossible to land UNLESS all of you tell me that Microsoft built that airport in wrong way for FSX.

Airborne on climb to FL190 after my first Captain Sims C-130 take off from PAFA runway 02L for my first payware C-130 flight

Thank you for viewing. Stay tuned for next exciting flight.

Regards,

Aharon

Heya Jafo,

Sorry to have been givin you such hard time with repainting our Sabre model. I bow my head in shame. I'm just a bloody amateur, you know. :stupid:

But hey! Good job on the 'fake' CA-27 conversion! A 'real' one was in the pipeline but never got finished:

Did you know that the photos i used for creating the cockpit textures came from a CAC CA-27 ? (shot and provided by my good friend Warwick Carter)

Despite the texture mapping conundrum (created about 12 years ago, how time flies, huh.. even virtually,have a bit more experience now) i hope you still can get some fun out of creating your 'fake' CA-27. I know i would've loved doing all these colourful AAF liveries !

Cheers,
Jan

Jan....it's no great drama....all part of the fun of messing with what wasn't there. My biggest conundrum is finding datum points to align things....nothing worse than finding one side 5 pixels higher than the other....then correcting it by setting alignments to the air-brake doors only to be not quite convinced they actually are aligned themselves in the model. I kinda make a rod for my own back when doing it at 4096.....so easy to cheat [ignore] at 1024...;)
I have 4 real paints 'sorted'....but it's more near-enough-is-good-enough because in reality a 27 is a lot different from an 86....a wee bit more than just the cannon ports...;)

Here's one I prepared earlier [as they say]....

Interesting AC aardvark62, whose model is that.

(For some reason when I try to reply with the previous message in quote it won't show up).
 
Hi Joe.

It's the MonoBi Tundra, part of the abd MonoBi package from French VFR (freeware)

Real hoot to fly! - and the rest of the package is also rather interesting.

Hi,

2 screens from a movie showing aerobatics abilities of these planes to be posted soon.

OK...so now I'm trying to get an 86 look like a 27 .... slowly chasing up relevant notes and details to be a little more like the Avon. Taking forever, of course...;)

Found a walk-around that was invaluable .... managed to get all the texts and details as right as can be - considering it's an 86 ... but needless to say the note font was too big at 8 point.... had to be 7 instead... all the notes are correct enough...they change from plane to plane anyway, it seems. Hardest part was compensating for the model's external power port location, but I'm pretty happy with it....just the right side to do that's different to the left... and a 4096 paint kit might yet eventuate. [kill for a native ver of this 2004 though]...;)
The paint's a fake [just for fun] - but I'll be reworking the 4 real ones once the details are done...;)

These are pretty old (I was at Butterworth late 1970's early 1980's IIRC....KRAFT Syndrome) and the images are not great but they illustrate the overall 'Aluminum Dope' finish that our Avon Sabres wore for most of their service lives.
You might get some idea of the panels and various access ports as well.

Somewhere buried in three filing cabinets are better detail shots of all the assorted NASA ducts and vents required by the engine swap. I'll look but can't promise.
