Thought I would take this old thing out for a flight.

[SteveB]

Bin flying Mig's too much recently so decided to go low and slow for a while, I rearly should fly this thing more often.

Fun plane, a little tail heavy though (no surprise)

Yes mate.

Flying it led too tweaking it a bit too. I am but a weak willed painter.

Incase anyone wanted a copy of the Atlantic scheme, I have just uploaded it, it will show once admins done it's thing.

Thanks for the paintscheme. I reinstalled the Kingfisher to use it, I also downloaded Henry's paints for this plane from Avsim. For some reason all paintschemes work fine except the ones made by Henry. Every time I select one of Henry's paints FS9 crashes.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

[huub vink]

Alain,

The textures done by HenryW are done for the FSX version of the Kingfisher. Therefore they are in 2048 x 2048 dds format. FS9 can't handle that.
When you convert them in to 20 bits you can reduce the size to 1024 x 1024. Than you have to flip them and save them in DTX3 format....

Hope this helps,
Huub

I did an fs9 Dutch scheme but it got abandoned. I can always give it a quick service in the paintshop and release if you want it.

I installed your atlantic version in the FSX version of the OSU3 and the plane
comes out looking all silver, no paint and all shiney. A chrome looking bird.
I am using FSX with Accell sp2 and the other piglet original birds are just
fine. Hummm......

The fsx only version uses a different mapping and format mate, drop me a pm with an email addy and i'll try fixing it for you and send them your way tonight.

Thats what happens to me in FSX with the Cuban King fish.

If what I done too the Atlantic textures works, as I don't have fsx so I have to wait and see, then i'll do the same too the cuban mate.

I have just uploaded the Dutch, Chinese and a soviet Navy schemes.
The Soviet Scheme is of an aircraft carried on the soviet cruiser Murmansk in early 1945.

SteveB - all 18 repaints MIA

Wondered why I was not finding your past repaints - seems all 18 of the OS2U-3 are not being found - Webpage missing. Sad.... I wanted the non-USA repaints to fly in other areas of the flight sim world....

It works great now in FSX w/Accel. How did ya do it?
Interested in you other repaints of this plane as well,
only thing is they would have to work in FSX.
I'll email you the thumbnail if you want to repack it for FSX....
