Thanks for the "heads-up", Markus ... I wonder how many of these will work in FSX?

What a nice aircraft to fly!



"Currawong" textures already applied - thanks, Steven!

As far as I can see, ZK-RMH / NZ3009 in its 1998 camo still waits for repainting.

I'd love to take over this job!
One question on the colours to be used:
I presume FS34079 Dark Green and 30118 Dark Earth to be correct?

Tell you what guys...what I'd love to see is some RNZAF repaints....the 14/15 sqn paint scheme from the pacific theatre was pretty unique with the crazy stripes...

I'd do it myself but I don'y have FS9...

Crazy stripes?

You mean those diagonal white stripes of 15 Sq?





Looks very interesting!
Just took a look into the paint kit:
Very nicely done with a high resolution, so those transversal stripes won't show up jagged - I'll give it a try!


Does anyone know if the mapping of the FSX model is the same?
If so, I'd release the templates - once they're done - in 2048x2048 res too, so anyone could take over to finish the FSX job...

Looking foreward to this one! New_Zealand_etc.gif

Cheers,
Markus.

Exactly! biggrin.gif

There were apparently a few friendly fire incidents over Guadalcanal involving US Corsairs so they shrunk the red spot in the roundel down to a small (1 inch) circle, and added stripes, so it wouldn't happen again...

Barry, maybe refreshing your browser on the Iris page or deleting some cookies might help..I get the right page from the link

Yeah, thanks Paul - got it that time. There were two options there and I think I was choosing the wrong one.

I opened up the specific folder for the plane rather than just choosing the download option offered under it's name.

All cool now... biggrin.gif
