Scenery and supporting AI for John's KC-390

[Jorgen]

Tim, I have this one for the Brazilian Navy's A-4 (attached). Can't remember from where though.

Jorgen

[TimC340]

Thanks Jorgen. This is presumably the original that accompanied the NBAI A-4. There are far fewer in service now, but it's a very useful start.

[f4nutter]

ok I know this is now back in normal camo scheme, but I just couldn't resist I will include it as an optional extra.

[John Young]

Absolutely Ray, it's gorgeous.

Beautiful, Ray! I wanted to see some pictures of this paint and found the one attached. Might you be tempted?

[f4nutter]

it would be a shame to leave it out Martin, I'll see what I can do.

[TimC340]

Ooh yes please!

[f4nutter]

best I can do Martin, not much reference data out there !

[gsnde]

Many thanks, Ray. That looks gorgeous!

The EMB-145 derivatives (C-99A, VC-99A, VC-99B, E-99M and R-99) are all done.

For the developers and painters working on the project, I have added the aircraft to Tim's FTP folder/SimObjects, along with a traffic file that covers these aircraft plus the KC-390s in the traffic folder. Please delete Tim's KC-390 traffic file if you have it installed. Also in the SimObjects folder is my KC-390 with the new lighter textures.

I have checked the appearance of the aircraft on each leg for the right destination and time. They all appear fine, but not necessarily on the right parking spots. That's OK for now, we can refine those when Tim has finished his design work with the AFCADs.

good job John, I best get a move on lol.

Are those F-5 paints on the JAI model or the MPJAI model?

[TimC340]

For those with access to the FTP folders, this is the currect state of play:

The latest version of SBAN and several other airfields are in the P3Dv5 Airfields folder. An early working copy of SBAN, but all the latest versions of the other airfields are in the FSX folder. The Brazil AF and Navy aircraft that I currently have are in the SimObjects folder - where applicable, these are in P3D format (though John's Lynx isn't working for me in either FSX or P3D). The traffic folder contains the working traffic files I have, again mostly in PV5 format but as there have been no ICAO code changes in Brazil that I'm aware of, they should work fine in FSX. They have been updated to use Ray's latest paints for the JMAI F-5s and Mark's paints for the F-39.

I'm trying to update the contents at the end of each day to reflect the latest progress, but please don't give me a hard time if I miss a day or I don't get the very latest aircraft in! But please do notify me if you think I've missed something or you see mistakes in any of the files. John picked up a howler this morning re SBES!

I've come down with a cold at the weekend, give a couple of days and I'll be on it.

I've come down with a cold at the weekend, give a couple of days and I'll be on it.

Me too! But I'm struggling through...

I have done some housekeeping in my FTP folder and added a 'Documentation' directory with a 'Changes and Progress' Word document inside. Please read and comment if you think I can improve it.

[f4nutter]

Tim, I struggled through
all the A-29A/B's are done I just need to compile them.
I can jump onto the T-27's if you want me to ?

[TimC340]

Hi Ray. I'm struggling a bit more today!

That's fantastic. Yes, the T-27s would be great for the Air Force Academy. If you fancied doing the Caracals and H-60s... although if helos are not your thing, I'd entirely understand. I hate the bloody things.

[TimC340]

To all contributors, there is now a Changes and Progress document in the Documentation folder in my FTP. It gives an overview of what's been done, what's being done, where you can find it, and who's doing it. I hope it's useful.

[f4nutter]

92 A-29A/B are done now moving on to the T-27 Tucano.

[TimC340]

That’s wonderful Ray. I’ll get on with matching them to the traffic files tomorrow.
