    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

Horten Go229 liveries - 4 fictional repaints for the SkyUnlimited Horten

This package contains alternative textures for the FS004 SkyUnlimited Horten Go229 model. It includes liveries for two nightfighter versions, a "normal" dayfighter in a standard green/green splinter scheme and a livery depicting the V3 prototype in the colours in which it arrived in the USA in 1945.

To use the textures inside this package you must have a legal version of the payware SkyUnlimited Horten Go229 model installed.

Enhou,

Hi Huub,
I don't have this payware but from the screenshots, the texturing work looks state of the art for sure. Really nice job on an uncommon subject !

Cheers
 
Thanks for the kind words. I used this model to test some different paint techniques. I tried to simplify mottles of German aircraft by using pre-made mottles layers. I used this model as it has a simple texture layout and relative large textured areas (read, "upper side wings"....).

I have mixed feelings about this technique, but on the V3 prototype I think it worked quite well.

For those who like to have a Horten Ho229, but don't want to spend $25, I can recommend Allen's CFS2 conversion form the CFS3 model.

Horten Ho 229.zip

Pulled from CFS3 and rebuilt for CFS2. Has most animations with breaking parts and damage texture logics. Model is Multi LOD. Has Normal, Winter Night and fictional OD USAAF textures. Flight Dynamics only tested in Free Flight! Anyone is free to...

Thanks Huub, I saw that website, but was confused by the description, as it says 'FS2004 only' at the top, then 'Full FSX model' in the description. If you are sure it is for FS2004, then I will buy it.
Cheers
 
Hi Graeme,

Although I was already convinced it is a FS2004 model. But to be sure I ran the installer from the model I have, which added even more to the confusion......

As I had never checked the FSX model, I ran the installer again. And the package contains both an native FS2004 model as a genuine FSX model with bump and spec maps.

So you can't go wrong with this model.

Cheers,
Huub
