Jankee's awesome looking PBY paints

[Navy Chief]

I downloaded a paint that Yankees had uploaded to Flightsim.to, but ran into a unexpected problem. Apparently there have been several updates to the freeware PBY on the French-VFR website. I went to download the latest version, but naturally I cannot recall my sign-in info, and was unable to. I requested a password reset, but never receive a email to do so. If someone could share the most recent version with me, I would be most grateful!

Thanks for that, Jan!

Grrr...... Ok, so I enter the information, the code, etc... and get a popup saying the account is "not enabled, contact the webmaster".

Pete,

It's not on the left hand side, go to the bottom of the site, click on the download icon and you'll be prompted for the credential above after 5 seconds!

Pete,

It was simple to send me a MP on SOH and I will answer you in the day !

To download on my website you don't need to be registred ( i.e. create a personnal account),
a) Goto this URL: http://frenchvfr.free.fr/download.php?lng=en&pg=808&tconfig=0
b) Clik on the download link,
c) Enter the datas/credential given by Priller yesterday to enable the download.

If you encounter problems, flush your navigator and retry or use another navigator (I works with Firefox and no souci).

PS: This system was implemented due to several attacks on my website since 2015, as I am tired of banning certain IP ranges from Asian or Russian countries, I chose this solution because otherwise I spent most of my time repairing my site or contacting pirate sites to remove hotlinks ... instead of developing other planes.

I downloaded what I took to be the latest version:
MSFS_frenchvfr-canso-pby5a_WIP_v096g.zip
In there is a folder
frenchvfr-canso-pby

JanKees' NZ paint refers to
base_container = "..\frenchvfr_canso_military"
This didn't work for me, where could I get the right base model?

Turns out my Catalina paints were not working in 2020, but I've now posted updates that do work.

Your version 096g is the correct one

change Panel="\..\..\frenchvfr_canso_common\panel" to Panel="\..\..\frenchvfr_canso_common\panel.20 or panel.24" in the aircraft.cfg file

in 2024, it actually doesn't make a big difference I find

I tried it yesterday, worked just fine. Maybe a typo in the signup?
