Here's a Cessna 206 , also the same " problem " with the tail . At least the interior is an improvement on the C182 !! Will see if I can change this to a nice cream colour .　　Still a " WORK IN PROGRESS " .John

Now a couple of interior shots of the C206 . Still not happy with the carpet though .Uploaded with ImageShack.us@ Brett , if you have any interior shots of the C182 or C206 , it would help to finish this . In your original post you didn't mention if the paint is for FS 9 or FS X ( most Carenado aircraft work in FS X - with a patch ) .John

The 206 looks wonderful John. I don't know, that red is rather garish but it kind of fits... I am using FSX for all planes. I'll see what I can do for pictures, I might not have access to a 182 until the 28th though. Even then I don't know if it will be available. On Monday if the 172 is on the ramp and not being flown I'll try and take a few shots.This is rather amazing if you think of it, if all three Cessna's can be painted then this would be the first complete CAP package for FSX and even FS9. Since no one has developed a Gippsland GA8 Airvan yet, which CAP also uses, that title would still hold. :)BrettI had to do some searching but here is the only personal picture I have of a CAP 172 that I've flown. Rather standard paint job minus the Florida Wing markings on the tail. I believe this was a C172N as well, can't really remember. I did my first ever unassisted landing and soloed in this baby! This was taken at Blackstone AAF in Blackstone, VA (KBKT).

Here are some screens of the C182Q interior , finally got rid of the green . This is ofcourse my own rendition as the true colours will probably be different .Uploaded with ImageShack.usJohn

That interior job looks good, much cleaner and newer looking than the default one.

Sorry that I haven't replied sooner , but some helpful truck driver used my car as a bolllard when he reversed his truck and trailer around a corner . Result , my car has been written off and have been busy with the insurance / garage and looking for a " new " car . Insurance has come up with a price ( just about enough to buy a new bicycle ) , so at least that problem is solved .,Here is my new screensaver on the computer :Uploaded with ImageShack.usWill have the paints finished after the release of Aerosoft's Airbus X ( been working on that as a Beta painter ) .John

Ouch, that's painful just to look at. Sorry to hear, and see, that. Hopefully you'll get a bit more from the company the driver was employed with. I'd think they would cover damages and the insurance would take the rest. Maybe its a different game where you are than it is in the States. Anyway no problem with the paints, obviously this is a volunteer job anyway and because of that I'm more than grateful for any and all work put towards the final product. Btw that's cool to hear you've got a hand on the new Aerosoft Airbus. Are you at liberty to say how she flies and whatnot? I'm hoping that a few American liveries are put in the package, I've seen a lot of companies as of late do more European schemes. Good luck with everything John!

Brett ,As far as my car is concerned , the insurance ( using a list ) tell me it's wprth so much , the damage is more than the value so I recieve the value created from the list and that's all you get .The Aerosoft Airbus X should be out today ( but the website is down ) . I painted about 40 liveries , 3 of which were American , namely Northwest , Delta and USA 3000 . Aerosoft have US Airways included in the release package .John

Wonderful news about the Airbus! So-so news about the car still. :rolleyes:Good luck with everything John!

Hey John,I know it's not CAP related but I just got the Airbus X and wow is it nice! I just completed a flight that I do a lot from Madrid to Palma de Mallorca with the Air Berlin A321. I don't know if you had your hand at the paint or not but it looks great!

Brett ,It's your post , so you decide what's on topic or not ..As for the 'Bus , the paints released in the download are from Aerosoft . They ( Aerosoft ) want to release the paints in packs ( according to continent - with an installer ) , so it could be a while before everyone is " happy " .John

That seems to be the trend as of late. Wilco and their partnership with McPhat seemed to have lead to the resurgence. It reminds me of when PSS and Ariane made you by each paint. I'll hold my opinions on selling separate paints from the plane but nonethelass I'm curious to see the release and the paints included.

A bit of a misunderstanding there Brett , all paints are free , there is no charge . The reason behind the installer is simple , because there are four types ( A320 CFM / IAE & A321 CFM / IAE ) , the chance of putting a texture file in the wrong map leads to all kinds of problems in the sim . I am still uploadiong paints to Aerosoft ( the site was also having problems - kept crashing ) , so a lot of double work at the moment . When this is completed will finish the CAP paints .John

Brett , You should recieve the download link from YouSendIt shortly , you can try out the paints before I upload to AVSIM . Let me know what you think . Comments / suggestions welcome .John

Hey John,I got the paints last night and installed them right away. You did a wonderful job on them both and I'm very thankful! The first thing I did after installing them was fly the FSX Civil Air Patrol mission. It was definitely cool to finally fly the right plane in the right paint job for that. Now I'll I have got to do is figure out to use EditVoicepack and make the "CAP" callsign and everything will be complete. I honestly can't see anything wrong with them. Aside from the limitation of the paint modeling itself and the tail-roundel, its great!Thanks once again for all your hard work John!-Brett
