September 21, 201510 yr This is another aircraft photographed by Ryan Butterworth at Duluth airport, where he is often seen hanging around looking suspicious. :ph34r: This is what he's been up to: Thank you Ryan. :smile: This is what I've been up to: It's on AVSIM Library awaiting clearance and on my MediaFire. P.S. This time the panel registration numbers have been done. :blush2: The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
September 22, 201510 yr That's really funny - I did that paint with another guy - but never publicly released it for personal reasons (pic of mine) Yours looks great! And a lot better... more true to what it really looks like, so thank you Ron! | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
September 22, 201510 yr Great job Ron! You know, that one might not look too bad with a pair of PT-6s hanging on it : :smile: Cheers TJ "The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams Tejon 'TJ' Stanley
September 22, 201510 yr Author Great job Ron! You know, that one might not look too bad with a pair of PT-6s hanging on it : :smile: Cheers TJ Thanks TJ. If there was such an animal you'd be right. :smile: Thankfully there isn't, as I think I've done my last Duke. Far too fiddly. Getting the cockpit view of the engines anywhere near right is a royal PITA. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
September 22, 201510 yr Very nice repaint, Ron. It's now ready for departure at a hazy PAPG. Thanks, Ben Ben Rikken, The Netherlands

Getting the cockpit view of the engines anywhere near right is a royal PITA. Oh yes I understand, the Duke and it's Turbine sibling are wonderful planes to fly for sure, but they are not the easiest planes to paint. Not only is it a complicated shape, its got a lot of duplicative textures. Even changing the registration on a scheme required changing Fuselage main/alpha, Fuselage Oil main/alpha, spec file main/alpa, wing underside main/alpha, wing underside oil main/alpha, wing spec/alpha, panel day/night...lol. I made some blank textures for the Turbine Duke V2 that could be layered into the P Duke V2 kit, however the hangup is not having layered oil textures for the nacelles which has kept me from doing more T Duke paints. There are some fantastic Piston schemes that I would love to convert to Turbine, but can't do much with the nacelles until I can get layered oil stains lol.
