As for the mesh, check:

The Lao air force ground attack scheme is part of the T-28 D (payware) package, I believe.

Here's one flying through north Laos from LS20A to Vientiane during the early morning hours:

[Edit:] nice to see the Solomons are still used :)

Downloaded the Solomon's shortly after getting the P-38L but the 'warnings' put me off installing. I really must read the instructions again and give it a shot:encouragement:

Malta.

Hi Dave. I took a short trip around Malta with some Naval types, and it didn't look too bad. Freeware photo scenery and airport.

Hiya Den..

Can you point me in the right direction for that scenery please. DC's payware 'Luqa' isn't bad but as is the way with these things.. it's modern and there's almost nothing of the RAF side. TBH.. I'm not sure it was worth the asking price either:( As for their mesh/landclass e t c.. that was free so the price is right but it's a bit of a frame killer. The blurb says a lot of photo scenery was used but today.. I stumbled over a lovely freeware pack covering the whole of Egypt and many of the textures IT uses are also visible at Malta!! Been to Malta twice in the Navy.. once on Hermes and the second on Blake. No sign of St Angelo or much of the sandstone buildings I'm sure are still there in DC's freeware scenery. Still.. it was free so nothing lost;)

I recommend you seek out egypt_fsx.zip. It turns the whole country from desolation into something rather more interesting:encouragement:

Some P-39 aerobatics over Duxford this evening - gauges coded, so I can finally monitor everything that's going on. ; )
 
My painting hand has definitely got a cramp so flying the Milviz P-38L over Nellis AFB. Such a pleasure to fly it is therapy for a cramped painting hand.

 
Note

I am flying thru the Ventana Wilderness, from Big Sur to Morro Bay, at tree top, in/thru/out of canyons, at Mac 0.99 in the 'new' AirWolf 3' for FSX, Rebuilt By William Rogers modified (for FSX) by Mark Cranko. Handles surprising good for being a helicopter. See pics. Is at Simviation only (uploaded May 8, 2015).

I have Ant's D and I don't have the Lao scheme. I usually use the USAF SouthEast Asia camo version for flying out of L20A but the Royal Lao would be more correct.

Kudos today to the Hmong fighters and pilots for their valiant service.

I'm almost positively sure I didn't post-install any liveries. Basically, it is almost the same texture like the Raven FAC, which didn't show any national insignia at all. The Lao version has the small roundel on the side of the hull. The Raven and Lao FAC liveries for Ant's T-28D come in three versions, single, double (two persons in cockpit) and attack with ordnance. The texture name is just a 5 digit number, IIRC. I can check tonight.

Ditto on the Hmong fighters, like Lee Lue. I've read some amazing things about them in Robbins Raven FAC book.

Cheers,
Mark
 
Malta scenery.

Hi Dave. I found the scenery on www.freewarescenery.com which is my first port of call when I'm looking for anything. A really great site and frequently updated. Choose FSX scenery and go to Malta. There is a link to Malta photoreal on Avsim. That's the one in my shots.

There's also a landable carrier in Grand Harbour. I also think it would be possible to pick out Strait Street. :dizzy:

Den.
 
Cheers Den:encouragement: I'd been on that site as the Malta landclass/coastlines was already highlighted (maltascenery.net).

By some strange coincidence, there's a flat top alongside in the freeware files at maltascenery.net too.. Malta XGen v1.1 and v1.2.. along with a lot of other stuff. Actually.. something has happened to my FSX install since I put Malta on. It must have changed a setting in the cfg as I get pretty bad stuttering everywhere now.:( Me thinks a new fsx.cfg is in order!!
