Hi Good People

Over at the Ford Tri-Motor Project site we have just released 6 new repaints for the Default Microsoft de Havilland 88 Comet.

5 of them are with fictional cannons and the 6th is the infamous Standard Oil Red Eagle livery applied to the Comet.

You can get them at:

All of them are of course for FREE.

Repaints for the Comet ? That sounds sweet !
I was thinking about reinstalling that plane in my hangar. I haven't done it yet since I switched to P3D (I still have a lot of stuff to reinstall from FSX...)
About your repaints: which version will they fit to ? The FS9 version or the FSX native one ? (the one that was recompiled with the FSX sdk)
It would be nice to see some repaints with the FSX tricks, like bumpmapping etc...
 
Yes! These repaints work nicely in FSX with Classic Wings FSX native conversion. You only need to flip horizontally the bmp textures. DDS conversion is recommended but not required. Apart from this, she looks quite ok to me even with no bump map. Thanks Gary, Edward, and Jamie for all these nice DH.88 repaints. Here an Estonian Air Force Comet:

If you don't have it, the original Microsoft FS9 Comet portover is here (for panel, gauges, prop disk, air file, etc...)
Classic Wings FSX conversion: http://www.classicwings.net/dh88_comet.html
Scenery: Tallinn EETN, fully functional commercial demo from Drzewiecki Design http://www.drzewiecki-design.net/prodEETN_X.htm
EETN works quite well with Estonia X (free vector data) by J. Kelloggs (http://www.jkelloggs.dk/node/600), and FTX Global (includes free Baltic States OpenLC demo).
