Islander Repaints

[fsafranek]

It`s not really that hard to add the alpha layer to a repaint.
Here is what i tend to do: First, Export the existing alpha from one of the repaints allready in the package. (using dxtbmp) Then... Import it to your repaint bmp file. All you then have to do is to convert the bmp to dds. (I use imagetool for that)

Voila! a nice shiny plane.

Exactly. Works a charm.

Thansk for the Rockhopper gajit. And also for removing the individually painted (or masked) rivet heads. :salute:

Since the rest of the Islander threads are closed; Love the bird (except for the lack of military versions/repaints and the redicilous license warning at start-up) :salute:
Hope people will make some British and Belgium military repaints, and other that i dont know of

Fun flying the bird!

Tx Frank - now working on a US one - quite a lot to do.

Hey Gajit,

Thanks for taking the time to do these paints and to post them. You work is very much appreciated.

 

[gajit]

Thanks Andy - almost completed the port side of this one - an hour more and it should be ready.

Working on the Headcorn para scheme..

Headcorn is just down the road from me.

Just a pity I will have to wait to get this model, as one of our cats just cost us £500 at the vets.

Good man Noddy - I would give up FSX completely to save my Retriever who is now 12.

Meanwhile here is N555JA

Back to the thread. She looks a great model.

Nice! I did the Headcorn one for the FS2004 version by MK ages ago. I did the UKCG one too.

Hi Tako

Do you think that I should keep it matt or shiny?

 

[noddy]

I would say dull and battered looking at this picture!

It looks to flat to me Gareth, I think it needs more shine, but thats just my opinion! :salute:

 

[Matt Wynn]

nice a parachute bird! *Picks up RAM Canopy* "Ok i'm good to go!". combines 2 of my loves this... STOL Aircraft and Parachuting, and a darned good job of it too Gajit...

 

[Tako_Kichi]

Like others have said the original was/is pretty battered and worn. I would be tempted to give it maybe a little bit of shine (i.e. not totally flat) but nowhere near the shine you would see on a regular aircraft.

All the best,

I will carry on with the Headcorn one tomorrow - meanwhile this one i used to see often as a kid at Bournemouth Hurn airport in the 70s. I cant be sure but I think i few to channel islands in it once.

Servant Air

According to the what is available on the WWW this was the 4th aircraft off the production line. Up until March 15, 2010 this was the oldest Islander in service.

You might want to revise the manual to include the undocumented feature of combined operation of throttle, props and mixture...

Which is, in case anyone else is wondering, is by left mouse clicking on the `close`, `feather` or `cut-off` markings on the pedestal. Left click to combine engines, left click again to separate.

There is no mention of this in the manual, on the kneeboard, in any of the literature or on the official support forum.
