New planes and repaints wishlist

Milton Shupe said:
I would like to add to the wish list:

1) More freeware modelers for FS2004

2) More freeware modelers for FS9 :)

3) More people interested in learning gmax so they could fall into categories 1 and 2 :)

I am trying to develop video tutorials (to supplement my C-162 graphic one) on YouTube to ease new modelers into gmax and get them productive.

I always thought that when I retired I'd learn to make models in G-max. Little did I suspect that when I retired I'd have less hobby time, not more. I had G-max installed on my previous confutor but never registered it and never even booted it up to check it out. It isn't on my present rig, though of course I still have the FS9 installation disks and could presumably install it from them. I thought I'd read somewhere that the publisher had either gone out of business or abandoned the program, and that it was no longer possible to register it and get it working. Is that correct?

I would like to check out that video on You Tube - can someone post the link? Given some good instructions, and assuming I can get the program installed and working, I would like to check it out.

Gmax Registration (requires membership at Turbosquid): http://www.turbosquid.com/RegisterGmax/Index.cfm
Not sure they still do this but the site seems to indicate they do.

If that does not work for you, this will: http://www.fsalpha.com/gmax_tips/
I have used this for years to switch back and forth between gmax 1.1 and 1.2 as they have different edit results reporting on export. Gmax 1.1 export gives better error messages on issues, especially with regard to materials and mapping issues.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have not published the video tutes yet; just getting started with them. However you can checkout the Design forum for links to the C-162 tutorial and a lot more helpful stuff.

I second all of the above,its hard to beat fs2004,it is the most enjoyable sim out there (IMO).

Thanks Milton,

I have made a note of the information. No telling when I;ll get a chance to use it,but I hope someday. I have gotten my Golden Wings, Classic Era and Jet Age sims developed to the point they were at on my old rig before my hiatus from the hobby and even gone a bit beyond that. I'm not quite at he point of having time to actually fly the planes I've been painting or visit the scenery I've been setting up, but that time seems to be getting closer. Hopefully then I'll get to fiddling with G-max. I seem to have some inner compulsion that forces me to continue making this hobby more work than fun. :dizzy:
 
To complete our DC-3 collection, a tri-turbo DC-3 would be simply amazing.

My second (& 3rd 4th) choices, as we already have AN-2's on wheels & floats, would be an AN-3 (AN-2 turbo powered), An AN-2F, (observation, with a 'glass' body), & an AN-2ZA (or AN-4).. [FONT=Verdana, Arial][SIZE=-1]An-4 is the design bureau designation for the An-2ZA, a variant of the An-2 intended specially forthe role of high-altitude meteorological research with a glazed position immediately in front of the tail fin for an observer.

Also, anything french... they have some of the most ugly planes ever!!

Ive been simming FS2004 since the very early days, & I love the odd aircraft designs out there.

Two others I've always fancied are the Piasecki HUP Retriever and the Sikorsky S-58JT. There, I'm done.:santahat:

Baldy's CFS2 HUP works fine in FS9. It's in the library here at SOH. It has a VC.

I see that I made an FS9 conversion of it that's right here:

That package has four skins, and another skin for the NAS Glenview reserves is in the library. I painted a number of other skins and made an optional FS9 panel too, but they didn't come up when I searched the library.

 
Many of my wishes have been fulfilled, here on SOH, or elsewhere, and I have stopped counting the fantastic planes that I really like ...

Except perhaps here or there some forgotten jewels or little represented.

The beautiful Fiat G55 Centauro by Ignacio Alfredo Mendive is very good, and also decorated by the talented Huub Vink or Marco Gadoli, but its 3D model is not modeled in suspension. Delicate landings ...

This superb and elegant plane has been little honored in the community CFS2 OR FS9.

Good speed to the Centauro ...!
 
I only need a Mallard TP with a classic interior and with a stuning texture as Lodestar N555H or N60419 by Andre19 !

But my wish list in terms of repaints is longer (an Aeroworx Beech 200 in French Sécurité Civile color, a CLS DC-10 as a Tanker 10 910 or 911 colors...)
