Roger Wensley Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Anyone interested to make textures for Ravn Alaska Dash 8 100? I am making Kenai PAEN for FS9 and Ravn make at least 10 flights a day between Anchorage and Kenai, but in FS9 (and FSX too, it seems) it does not exist. email me at rogwen at rogers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi Roger, Glad to see someone still making stuff for FS9 - always been a fan of your work and would love to see more Alaska airports... I'm pretty sure there are some Era paints that should be easily converted - with the proper permissions of course... I remember setting up traffic files using them in the past... Might make good stand ins until a true Ravn is available... Regards, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I had a look and found this, era_dash8-100.zip Is that the paint look you are looking for? (I don't know Ravn Alaska, but I Googled it and the Wiki shows the same paint job.) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hi - yeah - probably - Era changed the name to Ravn to the best of my knowledge Looks like they kept the scheme only requiring a new letter job... Just keep in mind if you plan to distribute a mod of someone else's work - you need permission of the author... Honestly - as a fan of "Flying Wild Alaska" - Era would work for me and it's probably only a few years out of date. Regards, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks. At this point I was just trying to get the question clear. Not planning to do the paint. I started my first steps painting a few days ago, and am still figuring out gimp. Semi-fan here too.:) Watch it when I happen to see it, but it's not like I set my alarm for when the show starts. Nice to know this is the era paint. (hadn't realised!) Somehow I was imagining a large 2 (4?) engine green+grey aircraft when thinking of era. This may be the one I was remembering from the series. (They make a very different impression when seen on TV then when seeing a picture I notice. Probably look bigger with people walking round them.) The nose also seemed more round. http://airlinersgallery.smugmug.com/Airlines-UnitedStates-3/Airlines-United-States3-QZ/Ravn-Connect-Hageland-Aviation/i-CLZmtJV I remembered this paint too: http://www.airteamimages.com/short-330_N168LM_arctic-circle-air_103868.html Thanks!

Roger Wensley Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 If Ravn is just ERA cunningly disguised then I can manage the lettering, to a degree. Anyway, I don't expect users to be pressing their noses to the cockpit perspex to see if Roger got the right planes in AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hi Folks, All sounds good... Just to set the tone - this is my favored FS9 Alaskan ride - the Carenado 206 (lead sled) painted in Hageland colors (predecessor to Era) that I converted to FS9 from an outstanding FSX paint job... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/scottb613/FS9/fsscr010_zps9038e411.jpg OBTW: For Alaska - the Aerosoft Anchorage and Fairbanks for FS9 are quite good...
