Talon,

These are outstanding, I'll test what you send me ASAP! :mixedsmi:
 
Outstanding skins. Are you planning to upload them?

Well oldwheat this thread has had 140 hits with 2 replies.That seems to show not much interest in them.Only Rami has the A-24 right now.

The other 2 are for missions I was working on. If I decide to finish the missions the skins will be in the package.

Rami the A-24 I sent you does a great job in DOA.

I'm sure there is interest in them. I don't have the FDG SBD my self. I happy with the OH SBD.

Talon,

I took her out for a little flight testing at Henderson...nice work!
 
Nice looking aircraft Talon, I especially like that A-24. Seems it never received as much praise as did the Navy SBDs in the Pacific from what I have read over the years. I hope you release them regardless. Thank you.

:USA-flag:
 
Will they work with the FS2004 FDG2 SBD? I'm always up for more Dauntlesses.

Willy,

I'm pretty sure the model is the same in terms of the paint schemes, and I'm sure that some of our repainters may have a little fun with her. But as you saw in the Admin forum, I'm checking with the mucky-mucks to ensure that this goes through the proper channels.
 
As long as it's a repaint there shouldn't be an issue. But I don't have the final say on it either.
 
I did some cleanup work and reformatted the skins and they look much better now I think.
 
Wow! Great skins.

I thought I read somewhere that you were on a boat. Where didja find time to do these. Any plans to upload them? Hint, hint.

Yes I'm on a boat and we have been out to sea for 11 days.We made port yesterday in Tahiti. I don't do all the sailing so have free time to work on the sims.

The skins are for projects I'm working on and will be uploaded with them.

Good evening,

Talon did some nice mods for Port Moresby, adding port facilities and an anchorage for the harbor...
 
Very nice skins, Talon! I look forward to seeing them in use! Glad you had a good landfall. Are you in Papeete? What islands do you plan to visit? Best trip of my life so far was 10 days on a Jenneau 43 in the Societies. Sail, dive, eat, sleep, etc..., repeat. Hope to make it back someday with a lot more time and a little more LWL. Gonna be in your neck of the woods in July (Kauai) Bonjour/Aloha!
