Rick Piper has uploaded his third texture set for the HS748 Budgie and a paint kit to boot. It's in the library now. Whoo-hoo!BlairCYOW

Hi BlairI still have a few more to paint but pack 3 grew a little too large.the aim was for 25 liveries but it ended up 34.Thanks for posting a heads up mate.RegardsRick ;o)

Thanks Rick -The HS748 is absolutely outstanding, and now we have even more choices of liveries. Dale

Hello Rick,thanks a lot for this amazing aircraft!!!GreetingsTim

Hi Tim83 is a small amount ;o)My Viscount 800 folder has 176 liveries! ;o)Trouble is i'm getting flack both ways.some people want to paint some liveries and others are requesting liveries so i have given up and released the paintkit.I waited until i had made the Large Freight door modelas now all model shapes are covered so people will hopefully put the right paint on the right model.There where quite a few unofficial repaints released but mostly painted on the wrong airframes so now they can try agin with the correct ones ;o)RegardsRick

This package includes airlines that used the HS748 in the USA -- Cascade and Air Virginia. "Cascade Airways (1969 - 1986) served the American Northwest, primarily Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake City, Pullman, Boise and Yakima. The headquarters for the company were in Spokane, WA. Other points served by Cascade included Wenatchee, WA, Moses Lake, WA, Walla Walla, WA (the main maintenance base),Lewiston, ID, Idaho Falls, ID, Pocatello,ID, Kalispell, Missoula, Helena, and Butte in Montana, and Calgary, Alberta in Canada." (Wikipedia)Some interesting approaches there for the "hard core" devotees of realism. Especially in real weather conditions. Ought to be some genuine tests of skills for anyone up to the challenge of flying this accurate simulation of a classic turbojet, with period autopilot and navigation equipment. Thanks a million to Rick and the whole team who made the aircraft and the great wealth of repaints. There goes the weekend!Ed

Correcting what I wrote above, the HS 748 is a turboprop, of course. Brain (of little use anyway) disconnected from typing finger.Ed
