Hello, introduction, and here's a few repaints!

Hello everyone,

I've been a long-term lurker here, and always enjoyed reading the forum. I've signed up as a member just the other day, I get very little time for FSX these days and was actually going to uninstall the program soon (it takes up so much hd space!), but thought it better I share some of my humble contributions before dumping them in the recycle bin. I highly doubt I'll be a regular poster, but it just seemed fair as I've always been a huge fan of fs warbirds.


Here's a couple of well-known paints I've done for the RealAir Spitfire IX. It's a nice model, even though it's now over 10 years old it still holds up well.

MH434






MV154







PL344






I'm currently trying to upload these to the library, pending approval.

I've got plenty of others knocking about, will upload soon when I have the time.

Cheers.
 
Very nice work Avi8tor. Welcome to Sim Outhouse, the premier flight sim forum of all time. You can tell I am prejudice.
 
Welcome, and I absolutely love your choices of repaints, all of which are superbly done! I always prefer depictions of warbirds that fly today the most in Flight Sim, and these are clearly very well researched and very accurately done. SL633 is of course the Mk.IX owned/operated by the Historic Flight Foundation based at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. PL344 is the Mk.IX owned/operated by Tom Blair, based in Maryland. MV154 (painted as MT928) is owned/operated by MaxAlpha Aviation in Germany (the first Spitfire to be registered in Germany since WWII - still has the original 1944 signature in the cockpit from its female delivery pilot, Mary Ellis), and of course MH434 needs no introduction.

I'm looking forward to adding all of these to my hangar, and any/all others you may have/produce!
 
Lovely repaints to be sure! I'm certain we're all hoping that you won't uninstall FsX anytime soon and share with us any other repaints you have done...or will do in the future.:engel016:

Certainly the easiest to navigate and with the nicest people. Flight sim's version of what iModeler is for us model builders! Love it here.
 
Nice repaints Avi8tor! The first one out of the gate is my favorite. Nice and clean, showing just enough exhaust streaking like a proper warbird. Just how I like 'em! (I also like the rippling of the sheet metal on the cowling!)
 
Thanks very much everyone for your responses and kind words!

The first two should be in the library by now.

Here's a couple more screenshots.













The RealAir Spitfire is still a great model with some nice features and variants. The systems simulations are a little "funky" (pneumatic system/ CSU not functioning) but it flies very smoothly and handles well, especially in aerobatics.

Look forward to getting more uploaded, greatly appreciate the enthusiasm.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum,

Great repaints, I love repaints of warbirds that are still flying today, I'll be sure to download the current ones and any more that you upload.

Thanks!
Jamie

I have a better idea. Instead of dumping everything, why not buy yourself a cheap hard drive and transfer all your flightsim stuff over so they can all be saved. There might come a day when you desire to get re-involved in FSX and will kick yourself for having dumped all your flightsim files. Just something to think about. :encouragement:
 
Hi A,
Very nice Spit re-paints.

Ha ha thought I recognised that uphill runway. Do you fly out of Compton? I fly now and again with a friend of mine, good atmosphere there.

Cheers

I've been really enjoying these a lot! My new favorite among depictions of MH434.
