May 4, 20224 yr Anyone hard at work burning midnight oil? None up yet at TO. Who will be first? Will it be the Songbird? Or 331 Bravo Charlie? Or a U3A variant Air Force or Army Blue Canoe?

May 5, 20224 yr For the Blue Canoe, you should wait until the service pack, it may be included then. Edited May 5, 20224 yr by qqwertzde

My first ride in a 310 was as a USAF meteorologist in a USAF Blue Canoe from Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri, to a commander's call at our weather detachment hdqtrs at Ft Leavenworth, Kansas. I can still recall the smells of that cabin. It was based at Leavenworth, not hangered, resided in an often hot and humid environment, with no sunshades. If I recall it had less than 300 hours on it. I favored the Beech T42 from Ft Wood, in which I gained my multi and IFR ratings. It was hangered and kept spotless, by the Army! Go figure! I do long for a Milviz B55/T42 Baron for MSFS,,,,, Ron Attwood did a perfectly fabulous T42 livery at my request for FSX. I have thus not uninstalled FSX SE.

May 5, 20224 yr Hmmm....been wrapped up in another "twin" (slightly bigger, LOL) coming soon to even look at what seems to be a decent plane. No paintkit yet for this one...and without even seeing the texture maps I couldn't say how easy she'd be to paint. I'm still behind on this one (on hold actually until the 737 releases), but not even sure if I can justify the price of the 310 just to paint her for you guys. 😞 I figured @ryanbatc would have had 10-15 liveries done for her by now. 🙂 Maybe if someone posts screens of the texture maps I could see what it'd take to at least strip all the paint off her like I did the 414a. 😉 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

Just a lot harder on some aircraft depending on the texture map layout. With some aircraft I never used the official "paintkit" if it was released way after the bird, by the time they released one, I had already created my own and had several liveries already out the door. Almost like you can fly the DC-6 with only the keyboard...but having a good yoke, throttle and other peripherals makes it much easier (and enjoyable) hehe.

Hoping I'll get a chance to paint the 310....just can't pick her up right now because of this one I'm currently painting (This shot was taken this morning after I made some tweaks to the paint and checking her out in the sim. I can't wait for you guys to fly her, she's an absolutely stunning plane) 🙂 Painting her and beta testing her at the same time is taking 100% of my time. I'll need a break after she's released and probably will do some relaxing GA flying afterwards. I've already started browsing 310 liveries...thinking "Hmmmm" LOL. Its a sickness. Determined not to buy the 310 yet as it will lead to me straying off task, I'll say to myself "I just take a peak at the texture maps and see how they are setup".🤔 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
May 5, 20224 yr Well, I for one, am not buying the 310 until there is a Songbird livery to use on it. Ryzen 7 5800 x3D, Asus Tuf Gaming X570 Plus, Geforce GTX 4080 F.E., 32GB Corsair PC-3600, 1TB Samsung Evo 970 nVME SSD, 1TB Samsung Evo 870 SSD, 500GB Samsung Evo 870 SSD

I always wanted to fly after that. Didn't get my PPL until I was 38, but I got. https://commemorativeairforce.org/aircraft/144 Edited May 5, 20224 yr by Bobsk8
May 5, 20224 yr WIP 🙂 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1htnBN87T1XAif5vuCly7nauN3pV13h2n/view?usp=sharing The variant of the original plane is not the 310R, though. Edited May 5, 20224 yr by qqwertzde
