Hi everyone!I was wondering first if anyone knew if there were any repaints out there for the Milviz T-38 in an AETC paint for Columbus AFB? If not would anyone be up for it?Secondly, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to make a repaint of the iFly NG series in an AirTran livery (B737-700). I've done some searching and all I could find was a paint for FS9 not FSX. -Brett

Hey thanks specialist! Sorry for the late response too. I downloaded the paint and I've been having a lot of fun with it since.

These are wonderful paints Rui but is there any chance you will be converting these to FSX? I hate to have to look at these paints and know that I can't use them because I have FSX and not 9. If you won't then how can these be converted over? -Brett

Hi, I am wondering first off if anyone knows if there is a repaint of the Feelthere ERJ135 v2 out there painted in American Eagle colors? If not would anyone be willing to work on making one? I never knew why most other airlines in the US who use the ERJ 135/145 series are represented except for this one. I know that there are a set of repaints out there in these colors for the 145 but they are for FS9 and they don't seem to work when you use them in FSX. Thanks!-Brett

Sorry about the delay, I had gone away the past few days. Thanks for looking into it anyway Fritz, it's not a big issue just a minor annoyance.-Brett

Thanks for looking into it Fritz. I understand not many really look at the tach for anything more than setting the RPM. I'm just in the habit of looking at it before the flight, during flight and after like I would in real life. Hehe, you wouldn't believe how happy I get when I see a developer install a Hobbs meter in their planes. :(

Although I know that this is a good way to model having a GPU hooked up, is there anyway to model it like Eaglesoft DG did with their Citation II or like like any of the jets that offer GPU options? I know Carenado is a bit newer to the turbine powered territory so I wouldn't expect the bells and whistles like this but it might be nice to add to later projects especially the C90 (or retrofit it to the C208). Hehe nobody likes to drain the plane's battery sitting there on the ground inputting all the flight data or even worse burning the Jet A and doing the same thing!

Wow, thanks bliksimpie! I agree with Ron that Carenado GPS cover took away from it a bit. It kind of reminds me of how Captain Sim puts their logo everywhere in their planes. Not to be a nag, but had anyone looked into the tachometer not correctly logging engine hours in this plane? I've done a few hours of flights since my last post and it's still giving me erroneous readings.

Hehe guess I'm just use to the older model Cessna and Pipers :(. It does makes sense to add that extra bit of redundancy, I could have used it a few times when I had a failed AI situation. Stupid question, I know, but would this mean that a secondary vacuum pump and electrical system is installed in case something goes awry?

Yeah I second that...Just noticed the extra attitude indicator sitting there in the lower left. That's interesting, can't say I've ever flown anything with a secondary AI in it. A full panel shot would be pretty nice too. :)

Has anyone else had any problems with their tachometer readings? I'm in the habit of logging my flight time using the Hobb's (if the plane has one) or by using Tach time and the Commander isn't logging it right. I just did a flight and noted that the tach read .5 before start up, after a flight of .8 hours I noted after shut down the tach read .3. I can see that it's not advancing the hour dial just the tenth of an hour dial since, considering that the ending time should have read 1.3 hours. Any ideas of how to fix this little problem?No other gripes from me, else-wise she's a wonderful plane!

Lol, Seconded on that! :Tounge:Oh yeah and I wasn't too impressed with Aerosoft's DHC2 either...

Wow! Thanks kiwikat! Well, I guess I'll cross a few things of my wish list. The Flight1 Skycatcher and the 182 look pretty nice. I just hope that the detailing they do doesn't look too synthetic. One of the reasons I love Carenado so much is that the textureing, both inside and out, is so realistic that it makes me feel like I'm back in the cockpit flying. I also really like Baytower's RV-7. I guess I've got a lot to look forward to this year

You know, despite some people wanting some crazy planes on here, this actually is a pretty nice idea. The B1900D/C line is doable since it uses the same PT-6A engine, it's panel and cockpit mirrors a C-90 in a lot of ways and its due time that it get some recognition once again. Hehe I'm still flying my PMDG one! :PAs a side note I'd love to see these planes made by Carenado someday:Cessna:162 Skycatcher 177 Cardinal (B or the RG version) 182 (S or T model...their old model could use a revamp IMHO) 402C Businessliner (Like what Cape Air flies) Piper: PA24 and PA30 (Maybe... the Eaglesoft one is still amazing.) PA28-161 Warrior II PA31 Navajo PA44 Seminole PA46-500 Meridian Vans: RV-7 (A)It's all wishful thinking but I think Carenado is on a roll and I know they can do a wide range of planes.

Did some research and you're right. Looking at those leaf-spring looking main gears struts made me think it was fixed not retract. I guess I was thinking the main gear struts would be more tubular like the C182RG. Apparently Cessna did make a fixed gear version but they called it a Cessna 336. lol oh well I'm happy about this development nonetheless! :(
