This is the nd in a serious of repaints for countries that flew the North American T-28 in their military. Ten T-28As were ordered by the Batista regime but were never delivered owing to an arms embargo, although at least one T-28 seems to have been acquired at some stage which was put on display at a museum at Playa Girón. This version represents that aircraft. T28 Cuba AF.zip -

How To Be A Repainter Part Four Fantasy Or Real, Newer Or Vintage By Alejandro Hurtado (23 August 2006) Well, at last we are closing to the part that bring us here: to repaint a model! On this part we are going to select the plane that we want to repaint, and how. Usually many of us select a picture of a real plane and "just" start to do the best transformation of this picture into the virtual world (me included). But a few of us do a fantasy painting, a kind of "how will I paint this real plane if I were a rich man?" It depends of the imagination skills of everyone and our artistic orientation. Doing fantasy models allows us to commit mistakes without problem. If you don't put the national markings in a fantasy military plane, it does not matter. In the other hand, you need to have decoration skills! By the way, if you think that the included white, blue and red 727 (right) is a fantasy plane, it's not. It's one of the Braniff planes painted by Alexander Calder. To paint a real plane requires you to find pictures of both sides of the real thing, and sometimes up and down ones to see the wings. This plane had up, down, left and right wings totally different. But we will talk about it on the next part. The repainter who wants to make a "real" plane, must take care of the details. He has no invention needs, but must know about weathering, shadows and sometimes he has to figure a missing part if it is not displayed on any picture. Newer or vintage planes? Well, I do both. Each one has pros and cons. The newer planes have plenty of documentation, sometimes you just need do to a trip to the nearest airport to find the real one. But many times they are already done. That's why I always do a search on the web before start a project. For example, I was thinking to do an MD-11 from Citybird. I searched, and found one already repainted that was really good. So I downloaded it and started to search another to do. I'll want to propose something: If you are member of a virtual airline, do first the planes of your airline. If not, do the planes of your country's airlines. Take a look: how many planes can you see in your nearest airport that are not made for Flight Simulator? About 18% of my repaints are Spanish planes, and 8% are Venezuelan ones, my two countries. Another 8% belongs to South American ones. If you don't live in USA, help the rest of us to know your country. Of course, the finished files will have less downloads, but we are not doing that for money, but for joy. On the other hand, the older planes have less repaints. That's for two reasons: there is less documentation, and there are less models to paint over. Where can you find a freeware model of a B-26 with less than 20 MB, or a Lancastrian? Or an O-400, passenger version? If you want to do vintage planes, and find a model with permission to repaint and release as "ready to fly", it's a gift! Tell me! About the documentation, I have two or three tricks to find it, but I'll tell you on the next part. The vintage planes, just because there are difficult to find, have the charm of old things. Not just to fly it, but to see how the old things were done. Of course, there are some planes that are new and old at the same time: the museum machines, especially the flying ones. One of my repaints is the P-51D that flew in the movies "The Empire Of The Sun" and "Memphis Belle". It's an old or a new one? Or one PBY-5A Catalina that was converted to a water bomber and was being sold on the Internet the last time I checked it. Of course, you are not obligated to paint your planes in the standard, always the same airline colors. Sometimes, especially on an anniversary, or Christmas time, the airlines change the decoration of their planes. It happens too with the military ones: almost every air festival or Tiger Meet the planes wear special decorations that never repeat again. And sometimes, when an airline rents a plane to another, the resulting painting is a mix of both decorations. Really, it does not matter what kind of repaint you want to do as long as you must have done your selection by now, and you must be eager to start to put colors on the screen of your computer. We are almost there, because the next part is to find drawings, pictures and history of the real plane. Alejandro Hurtado dracosist@cantv.net Read other articles in this series

How To Be A Repainter Part Three "Ready To Fly" Files Against "Textures Only" By Alejandro Hurtado (17 August 2006) Let's start with definitions: For "just fly" simmers, "Ready to Fly" means a file that you can just unzip into the ..\aircraft directory and the next time you load Flight Simulator, the plane is in the list. Even easier, there are utilities like FSAOM that can automatically install this kind of file. "Textures Only" is a file that must be assembled, or added, to the original plane. You must find the file ("base model") released by the modeler (and that's not always simple), install, copy the textures folder inside the original plane folder, modify the "aircraft.cfg" file, change the textures folder name and pray for the result to work. [Please note that there are tutorials to help with this sort of thing.] There are two good reasons and two bad reasons for "Textures Only" repaints. The good ones are: the resulting file is smaller, so you can upload and download it more easily and quickly, and for a modeler, the final user must download the original base model file, so his work becomes well known and very often downloaded. The bad ones are: if you are a "just fly" simmer, and you don't know about folders, notepad, aircraft.cfg editing, renaming and another niceties, you'll never fly this plane. The second one is that sometimes the original plane can't be found. I have downloaded "Textures Only" files with the legend such as: "for the model of John Doe", but it doesn't say where to get this model or its file name. Sometimes it says: "the model is in the www.plane.plane.plane.com address", so you open Explorer, insert the address and get a beautiful "error 404: page not found". I'm sure that you are now believers of the "Ready to Fly" option. I am too. But it has two problems: the first one, its size. Usually a ten megabyte model has only two or three megabytes of textures. But that's not the real drawback. The real problem is that sometimes the modeler feels that his work is not appreciated, that his original file and texture are not always known. There is at least one file where the repainter put the name of the real modeler but with my email address--I protested immediately. But the truth is that a modeler who releases his files with including permission to repaint better known than the other modeler who does not. Because each repaint with his name says that he is so good that we, the repainters, want to work with him. That a model of Mike Stone, Kevin Trinkle or SGA is so good that you can download it and start to repaint without fear of finding some big mistakes in the plane that your work is lost. And for the "just fly" simmers, sooner or later they, as us, will learn who does really good models, and in this moment he will recognize a good modeler by his name no matter if the repainter included the name or not. And, please, don't refuse the joy of a "ready to fly" file to all these simmers. We, the repainters, are aware of the great need that the virtual world has of you, and we will give you proper acknowledgement of your work. And that's why I put on my knees every night praying that the modelers keep releasing planes giving the permission to publish repaints with the model, panel and everything included. Because the idea of all this is that the many of you, "just fly" simmers, can download and fly these beautiful planes. We, the expert simmers who know how to correct a missing gauge problem, or change a pointer from a bad panel to some favorite one, we can live with "textures only" files. But the ones who are starting to enjoy this world, the ones who will make the future of the modelers and repainters, they can't do it yet. Well, enough for now. In the next part, we will talk about what's better: fantasy or real planes, newer or vintage ones. Alejandro Hurtado dracosist@cantv.net Read other articles in this series

How To Be A Repainter Part Two Pick Your Model And Request Permission To Repaint By Alejandro Hurtado (12 August 2006) What does it mean that you should pick your model before you find a picture of the plane? Aren't you supposed to first find the pictures and later find the model? Well, no. To find first the documentation is like the joke of the bride who is testing her wedding dress and says: I have the dress, I have the church reserved, I rented the party house, I just need to find the man. But first of all: what is a model? And what is a repainter? For "just fly" simmers, a model is the totally blank plane, without colors. Have you seen when you load a complex plane that before you see the colored plane sometimes appears a white form of the plane? That's the model. It is the form of the plane, its weight, its power, fuel, speed, everything except the colors. When a modeler releases a plane, he includes one or two basic paint schemes, usually of a big airline or a big country air force, if a military one. A repainter is someone who takes this model and adds another color scheme to the plane. Let's take one of my favorite modelers, Mike Stone. He released his Boeing 727-200 plane with the colors of Air France, Alitalia, Condor, Eastern and Piedmont. I have released repaints of this model in seventeen colors, from the very well known Alaska Airlines to the almost unknown Pride Air. By the way, I just discovered recently that Mike only allows "ready to fly" planes for virtual airlines. The rest of us must conform with texture only repaints, but we will talk more detailed about this in the next part of this series. In a perfect world you can find any model of any plane you want. But in the real one, some flightsim plane models just don't exist. I'm still searching for a good CN-235 freeware model to repaint. Freeware? What's that? Well, there are two different kinds of models: payware and freeware. The first one must be bought, and its repainting is limited; as you can't distribute a payware model for free, you are limited to the people who have bought the package and liked it and see your repaint and know how to download and install it. The second group, freeware: it's free, OK, but the modelers not always want someone else to do anything with their work. They, as authors of the plane, can authorize or not to other people to make repaints. Let's say that each model is like a child of its author: you can't go to a father and tell him: "I just met your daughter today and I want to take her to the beach this weekend". The list goes from Shigueru Tanaka, who does not let anybody make repaints without written permission, to iDFG or Robert Versluys, who include a written authorization for repainting their planes. And, of course, not all the models are good. I know at least one model which is so badly made, that you can draw a straight line, and the line is displayed like an "S". That's why you must search first the model, and later think, with this model, which plane can you paint. And request permission? Very important. Some models don't specify if the author allows repaints or not. So, you must send an email requesting permission, and must include the permission with the finished plane you release. If not, the modeler can write to the web site where you uploaded your job, and request to remove it. And worst, if he gets upset, he will never release another model. So, if not directly specified, PLEASE request permission. Many of them will give it to you. Another kind of permission you must have is the one from some airlines, as American Airlines. You can't release a repaint of its planes without informing the company and without a notification telling that you have nothing to do with the company. Well, enough for now. In the next part, we will talk about "Ready to Fly" files against "Textures Only" ones. Alejandro Hurtado dracosist@cantv.net Read other articles in this series

How To Be A Repainter Part One By Alejandro Hurtado (9 August 2006) As a daily reader of the FlightSim.Com news page, I get to know about the history of pilots comparing real and simulated world, new scenaries, new payware planes and new computer information. I enjoy it, and every day I check for new articles to read. But I feel that there are some parts of the flight simulator world that aren't reflected. One is the modelers area. Another is the repainters area. The scenery makers area was recently covered, and there was a recent triad of articles about the plane modeler Mike Stone. But in general these parts of the flight simulator world are dark ones. Maybe you, the "just fly" simmers, believe that to make a plane is just to take a 3 view drawing and scan it to obtain a fully flyable plane. And to paint a plane, you just need to take your scanner, go to the airport and apply it over the real plane. As a long time repainter, I feel I can give you some impressions about the art of converting a small picture in a magazine into an "almost real" flight simulator plane. I have planned a series of articles, with this being the first, about how to repaint a plane. The next ones will be: Pick your model and request permission to repaint "Ready to Fly" files against "Textures Only" Fantasy or real, newer or vintage Drawings, pictures and history of the real plane Painting and weathering a plane or seaplane Uploading the file and some history after the release/li> Of course, I have mentioned above three areas without cover. I'll be happy if some modeler and some scenery maker agrees with me and releases another series of articles about his part of the hobby. And maybe there are others areas that you, the "just fly" simmers, or another repainters, want to know. Alejandro Hurtado dracosist@cantv.net Read other articles in this series
