Not sure how much I'd trust that. Its a very poor translation with many errors. It states that it was an ex-Italian ship Milwaukee. Returned to American. Although the facts could be correct enough even if the translation is not.

Here is a good read. The second to last story is the best. IMHO.

Agree with John & Allen. Milwaukee was an Omaha Class CL, a 4 stacker replaced a promised Italian war-prize

Couple of photos here from her Russian service http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/005/04005.htm
That said, the grey over white scheme looks like a Soviet maritime aviation scheme, probably immediately post-WW2(?), as the photo records indicate the Soviets bothered to repaint the Milwaukee (including white boot-top waterline), makes sense they would also repaint the aircraft.
 
Hi folks,

Concerning textures for Piglet's Kinkfisher, just have a look in the Library (FS 2004 Military skins - World War II, page 80 when sorted by submitter/ ascending), lots of repaints already done by Steve B (Stalin) for the FS2004 version, including Soviet and fictional Dutch versions.
Also at least 2 Australian versions.
Should work without problems for teh CFS2 version, except you have to delete the Glass.bmp.

Just wondering if you will address the spray issue with this plane? When using the alt panel(much better than the default) it kills the spray effect when touch water. Hit the L key to try and activate it, it only appears when L key is pressed.
 
Sounds like one of the panels is missing the DAP_CFS2v1!Amphibian gauges.
 
It should be on its way. I have to finish my part for the 'CAT' launch setup.

Shessi,

You've got mail.

Hi Folks,
Been away at RNAS Culdrose for a few days, I help with the Royal Navy Historic Flight out of RNAS Yeovilton. Unfortunately it was a wash out (no flying!!), but managed to see the Corsair and the LF Spit, along with the PBY Catalina/Canso and others come in. Then on air day managed to have a clamber inside and out of the Catalina. Good to see what the the actual beastie is like inside and up close after virtually messing around with one! ha!

John, has sent me some catapult bits, and as I catch up over the week end, may get it out to you.

Cheers

Good evening,

Okay, I'd like to know where this stands, so I can make corrections and/or updates. What can I do to help?
 
Rami,
I've been very busy with others things, so will get to back to it soon. This will be a pack of modded Kingfisher, texs, new 2D panel, catapult and mission.

So either update other things and this will be a separate pack so if you can wait a while........;)

Cheers

Mark,

I wasn't insinuating laziness, I understand you've been busy. All I was doing was asking where things stood. No problem. :redfire:

Thanks for the pics Shessi. That close-up of the Catalina gear-well and surroundings is very cool! Its a wonderful old bird.

Andrew,
No, no prob at all, I know you were just enquiring, not insinuating anything...you know how life has an annoying habit of getting in the way...ha!

MR,
I was so chuffed to have a look round the Cat. I remember looking round thier first on in the 90's. The Cat would be a great round-the-world touring ac, quite big, superb views and can land on fresh/sea water and land, and has a huge range.

Cheers
