Isn't This Beautiful

MZee, who makes that P-40 and where do I get the two paint jobs, especially the bare metal one?

Hi @TARPSBird,

Huub is correct re the repaints.

Also please check Avsim Library and link below for more :
https://www.nzfsim.org/tom-weiss-a2a-liveries-archive-p-40/

Tom Weiss also did a lot of beautiful paints for the P-40, but sadly he passed away in 2020, and a lot of them are now harder to locate as his site is no longer active.
 
After A Lot Of Repeats

This morning...Happy Independence Day to ALL Americans...the calendar hosts the NA AT-6 Texan (also SNJ and Harvard). I did the usual Google search for where can ya get it and returned:

Freeware-Rikooo and Perfect Flight of the Dave Eckert, Warwick Carter and Michael Flahault. This is NOT native FSX/P3D. Also at Flightsim.com is a repaint for the Warwick Carter AT-6 that won the Judges Choice award at Oshkosh in 2008 depicting the "Checkertail Clan" 325th FG Mustangs. You can also find other repaints if you look.

Payware - A2A Simulations with Accusim both at their site as well as Just Flight Store.

I have been up close and personal to an AT-6 Texan a few years ago. A pilot here in North Carolina has his in a hanger at the Cape Fear Jetport and he gives Eagle Flights to budding young pilots. I was disappointed that I was too old to snag one. Boooo Hoooo! but one of my students that I had taken out to our annual tour of the flight school did and talked about it for weeks. I didn't realize how large an aircraft this is next to the 172 Skyhawks parked on the grass there when he passed by on the taxiway.

Also a nice SNJ package at Simviation complete including the aircraft: https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=AT6&x=0&y=0
 
There is of course also the Alphasim/Virtavia FSX Harvard/Texan. It is actually a port over and not FSX native (It least the "FSX" version I have), but works without any issues.

Here with a some odd real life liveries, I did for this model

And the T6-G by David Eckert, Michael Flahault and Warwick Carter is actually fully FSX native! It has a separate model file for the external model and a separate internal model file!

You have to install the basis file FSDS_T-6.ZIP, which can be found here: https://www.flightsim.com/files/file/142015-fsx-t-6g-texan/ (You should be logged in at Flightsim.com)

After this you have to install the update FSDS_T-6UPDATE.ZIP, which can be found here: https://www.flightsim.com/files/file/142558-fsx-t-6g-texan-civilian-restoration/

And after that you have to install the mod t6texmod.zip, which can be found here: https://www.flightsim.com/files/file/142221-fsx-t-6g-texan-ii-modification/

If you want you can find alternative flight dynamics by John "Bomber_12th" in the library here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/79075-Wozza-AT-6-Alternate-Flight-Dynamics-zip

And when you have these in stalled you can start to download the many beautiful repaints made for this model. John Terrell did a huge amount and made his better than brilliant paintkit available, which allowed the less talented to so some repaints as well!

A few examples of the amazing repaints done by John "Bomber_12th" Terrell:

And the ones I did based on John's excellent paintkit:

This Time I Looked First

Over the weekend was a C47/DC3 which has already been reviewed by me above in detail for all possible versions. I have never heard of this one: Travel Air-4000. I searched our Warbirds Library FIRST not wanting to be beat up by Huub (just kidding-REALLY you know I am) that it's in the Warbirds Library. Well, it kinda is: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=198&id=11140 this is a beautiful repaint for Bill Lyon's Travel Air package (tamo.zip) which sadly only worked on FS9 because of old gauges. I found at AVSIM This 1929 Travel Air biplane, Magic One, based in Orcas Island, WA. The original model is by Bill and Lynn Lyons has been modified by Bill Schulz of The Cielo Co. for FSX (distributed with permission). This version is for FSX only and uses some default gauges for the virtual cockpit--there is no functioning 2D cockpit. Here is the link for it: https://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=94298 So you have the model for FSX and a repaint in our library.

If you would like to have the scenery and airport(s) for the San Juan Islands off the Washington State coast, Blue Sky Scenery has you covered. Here is the link:

Messerschmitt Bf109

Yesterday the calendar highlighted the Spanish-built Messerschmitt Bf109. I searched but only found payware and a couple freeware German built versions. i didn't find any in the Warbirds Library by searches which surprised me because i thought I had seem them before but probably for CFS2 more than likely.

Today is the Grumman Mallard. Milton Shupe and team created it first for FS9 and then an FSX version not portover. Here is the link to that post:
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...Mallard-v1-0-quot-Gold-Rlse?highlight=Mallard
I also found a lot of beautiful repaints in the Warbirds Library as well.:encouragement:

Hispano HA-1112M Buchon for FS2004 & FSX, from the inimitable A.F. Scrub

FSX / FS 2004 HA-1112 M Buchon.zip (sim-outhouse.com)

I went with the Flight Replicas model personally, mainly because of some lovely Jans Kee Blom repaints in the Library. As I've mentioned on these pages before my interest in aviation stems in no small part from having spent my 6th summer on this planet under a sky full of Merlin-engined aircraft (the filming of the Battle of Britain aerial sequences took place where I was spending that summer), which has left me with the ability to identify a Merlin engine 5 miles distant and an affection for the aircraft in the film.
 
Like Me

I have been able to be in a real B-17G and B24C so I know what you mean. How fun. Though 20 years ago I cherish the memories as you do. I also spent 4 years flying with the 91st Bomb Group Virtual on here from Bassingbourn on many missions in real time. I also helped develop the Flight Replicas B-24 and created the 461st Bomb Group- Virtual flying out of Italy. Hoped to have more guys interested in flying with us but oh well. Ce' la Vie.
 
Some pictures to show what we are talking about.....

The Spanish Hispano Aviacion HA-1112-M1L Buchon by Flight Replicas. If you are wondering about the desert; The Ha-1112s were mainly used in the Spanish Sahara (Western Sahara since 1975).

Chers,
Huub
 
The Plane Of The Day

Today, July 21st is the Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero. Our Warbirds library entries are almost all for CFS2 or repaints for WOP Shockwave payware. The only 2 FSX entries are static. The only freeware I found for FSX is from Flyaway Simulation and FSFreeware. Just Flight, PCAviator and others have payware versions.

I would imagine that you could find them in DCS which like CFS2 makes sense. It's a warplane.

The calendar's picture is of Ed Maloney's Planes Of Fame Museum in Chino, CA. Planes Of Fame restoration is known for their accuracy.

Obvious not a very popular model for developers. Even the A2A/Shockwave Mitsubishi A6M5 is not a genuine FSX model.

Nevertheless a nice model....

When I was young and 1/72nd plastic aircraft were popular, my friend and I used to create actual squadrons of aircraft. We'd save our allowance and then go to the hobby shop on the weekend. When we got a little older and mowed lawns (I was a caddy at the country club) we had the hobby shop owner who I think considered us his best customers, buy them by the case for us from the distributor and he would split the discount with us. I had I remember a book on all the markings of the "sentai's" or squadrons and would buy after-market decals to make them accurate not 12 aircraft with the same markings. We did the same for all of the geswaders and staffels of the Luftwaffe aircraft and groups and squadrons for the RAF, USAAF and USN carrier markings as well. Airfix had really nice line of models. Probably built them all for WWII. Hawk, Monogram and Revell in the USA. Ah, the memories LOL!
:biggrin-new:
 
If Anyone Is Interested

Today's calendar featured the Yakovlev Yak3 Russian Fighter. I can't help it but it really has never interested me but I will probably get beaten up here for saying that especially from Ivan or Petrov LOL!
