The EAGLE is out ........

Incidentally Jeff - I can see the hard work gone into your Harpie... I look forward to seeing it out of FSRepaint and in FSX.

Looking forward to having better sound files though. Will make it more fun.

Loving your new Argentinian-flagged hot rod, Chris, but got the ole black
rotating prop here. Other than that- SUH-WHEEeeet! Gorgeous repaint.

Sorry - missed this comment about the black prop.

My answer here for all:

If you find that when you add a new paint, the propellers are suddenly black, don't panic! Simply go to the "texture.Common" folder and copy four "prop_****.dds" textures into the new paint folder.

Don't ask - I don't know why, but I am passing this on to IRIS. There must be something in the way the fallback is not working properly.
 
Heya Chris,

PM just sent. Worked great, though for the sake of any others experiencing a like problem, the 4 prop textures weren't found in the Common folder. They were "next door" in one of the models' folders.

Easy as cake. er... Simple as pie. AHhhh, you know what is mean!

Thankee, my friend. Good to see you here this evening/morning, for you, & early at that! Crazy Horse is coming soon. :) Am quoting the Joker in the 1st Batman movie here:
"What until they a load of me."​

Much appreciated, Chris. Iris has a winner on their hands here & she'll only get better, especially with folks like you staying after it. Kinda like me, being the single malt agitator of beta testing scenery packages, you know? :) Pain in the patooty for developers during, though the end results are sweet.​

Oh, am feeling a canyon run coming on strong with this beautiful repaint...​

Later,​

David​
 
Good correction there David - thanks.

Yes - it seems Iris may have forgotten to put the prop textures in the common folder - in hindsight, I had put the props from an IRIS texture into the common folder myself - and forgotten.

So - as David says - just look for the four prop textures in one of the IRIS paints and copy them over. Either to the new paint or to the common folder.

Thanks Chris....I hate putting them out half-arsed.....It does look "Right"...Not 100% thought...

On the that "Tire" company...I hope it started with a "P" and not an "F"!
Cuz there is a gorgeous red and white scheme.....

Interesting - I followed that airliners net link and got this (see pic). Probably one of the advertisers there.

Geez, Chris!

That woke me up! As the post above was the first thing seen after clicking
on the email link notifying of a reply to the thread all that is seen is the security warning.

If you guys have been wondering...



Within the limits of the given model, this is the cockpit of N540ET. The real one has only been posted once at airliners.net so far and I must apologise for the fuss I made when Gajit started, because I was already in touch with the owner. Ken Bowen owns this very highly modified Eagle II. It has the same nose cowling as the Oracle Challenger as flown by Sean Tucker and the wing tips are squared off to the rear with extended ailerons. The insides are close - yes, he really does have an engine turned panel. And yes, it is blue. Guess.

There are still a few fixes I need to do. The red is a little too red. I still have to get used to the changed materials and alphas that I am working with. Also - big nuisance - when you have things like stitching and seams and rib tape that goes over red and blue, the merge effects react totally different, so you have to cut out the bits over the different colours and merge differently. Lots of masking and cutting out involved.

But here's some more views of the beta on its first paint drying flight...

Excellent job Chris - you have more skill and patience that I so i would prefer to fly your repaint than my own any day! :ernae:
 
@ Jeff - Airliners net and other sites have "Ad rotators" - little bits of code on their pages to change the adverts every time the page is opened. I guess in this case one of the ads was a known dodgy source and set the alarms off. I have been back to airliners and it came up clean.

Either one advertiser or a false positive.

@ Jeff - Now THAT is very nice! Far better in sim than in FS repaint!
Lovely. That will be one I want to download and fly myself.

@ Gajit - I really have to do some housework today (three weeks at home with the pigs has been no barrel of laughs. But I should finish it later on.

Thanks all...

EI-BKA was an Irish registered Pitts S-2A (actually the very first Irish Pitts) owned and flown by the Irish aerobatic champion Arthur Wignall....a true gent and a fantastic display pilot. Sadly he was killed in Kilo Alpha when the aircraft impacted a beach on April 1st 1984 after finishing a display at Sligo.



I'll send that PM now ,Jeff! :)
 
I'll have to get this when I'm back on FSX! The LIC Eagle was my favourite FS9 plane.

Sure... but just remember that my bumpmaps also mean you have to re-paint the textures too - the rib tape, stitching, shading are all out of line otherwise.

The Iris original paintkit only caters for 10 wing ribs (9 gaps) and the ailerons are also different. My bumps reflect the true rib layout, i.e. eleven wing ribs with 10 spaces.

If you go to Barnstormers.com you will see a good few images of "naked Eagles" and you will see where I get my facts from.
