Hi Simmers,Lou Volland has released a new GMAX aircraft for our flying pleasure.http://www.gjsmith.com/images/DC9-1-Chrome-2.gifI have created my master blanks for her with some added detail etc and on the recommendations of Lou the first livery is of course a Delta livery as I believe they were the first to fly her commercially.http://www.gjsmith.com/images/DC9-1-Delta-1.jpgThe textures is available at:http://www.gjsmith.com/textures/dc9-1.htmThis release now makes more than 350 FREE texture I have created for your simming environment. Check out the others through my catatalog at:http://www.gjsmith.com/textures/catalog.htmHappy Simming and I hope you like her.Garry J.

Hi Garry... Just another Spectacular paint job... Where can we find Lou's DC9? Thanks

Hi mate,There is a direct link on my DC9-1 page to the zip file for Lou's new DC9-1 aircraft.http://www.gjsmith.com/textures/dc9-1.htmI am not sure if he has posted her to any of the major sites yet.Hope that helpsGarry J.

Thanks Garry... Went looking there, but must have missed....Cheers

The link on Garry's page is to an alpha version of the aircraft.ftp://oregon-coast.net/Hanger/gdc91twa_alpha.zipThe aircraft is not completely finish as I need somemore images for passengers. This only affects the cabin interior... everything else is done. If anyone would like to contribute an image suitable please e-mail them to me at [email protected] . So if you'd like to be a passenger in this plane or want to show off your g/f, I welcome the help. Please make it a clean full side view of a person seated on an armless chair with as clean a background as possible, 128 x 128 or 256 x 256 pixels square. Editing out the backgrounds is very time comsuming. If you can do the editing yourself that is even more of a help. See my example.http://www.oregon-coast.net/images/pax2.jpgThanks in advance for any help anyone can supply.

Nice! :D Good to see there is an audience for both freeware and payware alike!

Hi Lou and Gary,This looks absolutely gorgeous. The paint work Gary, is outstanding as ever.Lou, does this model have 'hollow' windows you can see the passengers through? (like Posky's CRJ) Also does it have a Virtual Cockpit?Looking forward to downloading it and I absolutely loved the 707-320.Cheers to you both,Boone

Thanks Boone,As always, Lou's aircraft are fun to do textures for. This one does have the Hollow windows effect and you can see the people inside the aircraft passenger area - hence his request for some pictures of people so that he can populate the cabin area. It looks very good up close. Therefore I had to apply attention to detail for the aircraft textures as many people will be up close to check out the passengers inside.Garry J.

As Garry mentioned the passenger cabin is 3d. It has a semi-vc, in that when you are in vc mode you are not just sitting in mid air but rather you can see that you are sitting in the pilots seat and can look around the cockpit. Nothing is animated here as in a full vc. You can access the insturment panel (2d Cockpit mode) momentarily while in vc mode by pressing the "0" key on the number pad with the NumLock ON.

The NorthWest Livery is also now available on my DC9-1 Page for your flying pleasure.Regards and happy simmingGarry J.
