Thanks - it has been long due. But since I needed to host my paints on my terms...
installed all the repaints
G-FISH and Carolls are exactly my taste
have not looked into the paintkit yet!
but think I will do that tomorrow
PS:
my system makes slightly troubles since the last few days dont know if hardware or OS is the Cause ( if it is hardware it could be Powerunit or graphiccard or Display)
when starting I have a blackscreen and after 5mins or so when you hear from sound that windows is up the screen comes up very weird!

Hi Chris.
Been a while, my friend. Your revamped website looks great, guy! Your Eagle skins are brilliant as well. Highly tasty, sir. May have to look hard at acquiring this beauty.
Just to brag on you some, Chris, CBris did me an incredible kindness earlier this year before I needed to take a break from the internet over some pressing family matters, a kindness that will always live in my heart. He painted my Spitfire contra-prop for me exactly as initially envisioned by me. Check that- he exceeded my hopes. Most kind. His personal repaint for me:

The future of this tour remains to be seen, several Lakota Elders already expressing their disapproval. As always, will follow my heart. So far as my concerns go, the tour will still take place in due season. Anyhoo, it's a pleasure to see you here active & continuing to be of service. Had a chance to read that book, by chance? If so then am hopeful that much of it resonated within you, my friend.
Anyhoo, am on my way over to Iris to check out the details on this amazing Eagle. Thanks for the heads up. See you all out here...

FSX Acceleration!
Ahh nice one Chris thanks for that I'd never have noticed!!! I must admit though I have had to convert three testures out of each texture folder to DXT 5 because of the 32 bit textures making my ground textures crash, the three were Eagle2_LH_Fus_T.dds, Eagle2_RH_Fus_T.dds and Eagle_Wing_T.dds, sinse doing this it has worked great!
for some reason my comp just doesn't like 32 bit textures lol!

Is anybody else's eagle jumping around uncontrollably at the end of the landing rollout, during anything above a 1 knot taxi, and during takeoff? Ground ops are impossible for me?
Other than that, wonderful aircraft! Great smoke effect, very well done. I'm impressed!

What a blast! Had almost too much fun with her this evening:

Tom- Thanks, guy. Am glad you are enjoying the set. The sky works great set at Unlimited too. Tried my best to get a realistic panhandle Nebraska sky, complete with a faint hint of dust but generally quite clean. Am working on a pristine sky set next, for those magical days out here after a day or two of good rains.
Chris- Amazing repaint, that Eagle paint. The flag & all is wonderful, my friend. My, that plane is a ferocious little beast with a 540 Lycoming out in front, yowza! Did my Immelman in the lesser powered Eagle II after trying out the high-powered Eagle I. Mighty tasty aircraft, both.
Wingnut- Just reporting that all Eagles flown here thus far have extremely good ground manners both before & after a flight. Best handling taildragger ever flown in a sim, imo. Hope you get your squared away. Is likely a minor adjustment to be made somewhere to get her calmed down.
.
At this early stage it would appear that Iris has produced a winner here. Fine performance in FSX, handles excellent, looks amazing. Got some canyon flying to do with this gem soon.

Guys... "Bouncing around on the ground" - I have heard that quite frequently in a couple of other beta tests on totally different aircraft recently. I have been lucky and not had this phenomenon, but there is something that FSX doesn't like about some addons.
If you'd care to go "complain" on the IRIS support forums, you'll get heard. Eventually. That is not a negative thing, it just means that David (Smudger here) is going to be slightly involved with the real world for a week or three and he might not have the time.
If your planes are skippety hopping on the ground it will be curable. It was fixed on other planes I beta'd. I'll try and coax that info out of the other devs - it may be the same cause here.

Wingnut, Chris is right, I'm flat out with family commitments right through October and into November.
With that being said, I did adjust the damping of the wheel struts right at the end of development for a 'stiffer' strut. This game IMO a more realistic 'bumpier' ground handling on grass.
I've not had the problems you're experiencing in my aircraft, however I that's not to say it's not an issue.
Are you experiencing this on ALL ground surfaces, ie, on taxiways, runways etc or is it JUST on grass and dirt surfaces. It might be a simple thing to just increase the damping ratio of the contact points until you have a ground handling you're happy with. That I can talk through easily enough.
David.
Boxcar, I noticed your thread on the Flightsim forums. Regarding the cropping of the model in preview mode, that's something that we can't change. AFAIK the view distance in the preview window is preset by FSX depending on the geometric size of the model. In FS9 we had to use an external program to 'mod' the view distance that FS chose for us, but as far as I am aware, this isn't available in FSX.
I'm sure some designers might point me in the right direction if they can..

Benn,
It looks like either you closed the paymate window without pressing the 'return to store' button or whatever it is paymate prompts you to once payment has been completed, or for some reason out of your control, you weren't passed back to our storepage once payment had been processed.
In a nutshell it meant that the payment was received by paymate, but our store was not updated to show a successful transaction. Fortunately it's an easy thing for me to check the paymate records and confirm a successful purchase.
I've now done that, and updated your order accordingly so you should now be able to download the file.

Well done to Smudge and Team. Now I must go and get some repaints.
