Ole Peggy really requires some tender love and care, a more realistic repaint :) ... Super Screens Marty B-)

" Ole Peggy really requires some tender love and care, a more realistic repaint" I agree Ian .... I got all three addon's for this and I'm very disappointed.
Ive tried to make them look good screen shot wise .... but it just won't happen .
Thanks anyway .

Ironically there is a'Peggy' up on Flightsim.com this morning, I should pull my incomplete paint out , I created photo real engine textures, AdrianB use them on his paint of Manfred Jahn's 'Connie'.

Great shots Marty, love the first one. Now this has reminded me that A2A are working on a Connie so must go and check up where they have got up to - though they usually keep it very close to their chests so nothing is known until days before the release.

Still, it has been some time since they announced it was in beta so maybe . . . . . .

That is one I'm looking very much forward to , This time its going to be my first A2A .. well first P3D buy thanks to you guys .. I seriously wonder if the A2A may add, just for the possible extra paints , the radar nose, on it .. So little difference so I wonder ?

Thanks Greg , but not that great ... but i will keep an eye out for that A2A model.
A long nose with tip tanks would be great.

The Pegasus on flightsim this morning is by the late Frank (Reinaldo) Gonzalez. Tom Gibson has been steadily releasing them from the Memorial Archive he set up. You can see the same paint in the gallery I linked yesty. In the pic filenames, FR=Frank Reinaldo, and MR=Marcel Ritzema

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Thanks for the heads ups and info Mike , I did not realize or know 'Frank (Reinaldo) Gonzalez' had passed, did not read the 'readme' simply just noticed the paint this morning and thought was ironic.

Frank was a great artist, and very protective of his work. His executor, Wayne, asked Tom to host the archive - that is irony, if you like; Frank would announce a new paint on his website, but you had to email Frank with a request and he would reply with a link.
