Nice one George, I think I did an ASL, not sure what AC it was though. Freighters play an important role mate, don't be sorry lol. Col.

Just playing around with this Lockheed Orion and did a quick fictional paint on her lol.

Great! I see you have been talking to Percy lol. Sometimes he rubs off on me too, Perse Verance. Glad you got sorted in the end, the aircraft looks great.

I was recently re-painting an Antonov AN26 CIS, I had no paint kit so cleaned off a paint from one of the other textures. Everything cleaned off but there was a registration number on the wings, but that number was not showing on the file in the textures, the wings were blank. I looked to see if tit was some kind of alpha thing but I wasn't sure what I was doing but the wings still looked blank, so where is that number stored and how do I delete it please? I'm not sure where I got the model now as I've had it in my sim for ages, the textures already on it are Russian so that might be a clue, nothing in the cfg either as that was cleaned up ages ago too. Thinking back I've had this issue before on other aircraft but ended up using a different model so never looked to find the answer lol. Further investigation I spotted something on one of the other texture files (UTT) so more than likely that's where I downloaded it.

I added another this one is based in Tokyo, Boeing 777-200LR

@George, it's AI Aardvark 747-200, PM me your email. Col.

I took George up on his comment and did a fictional of Ocean Network Express (ONE). I based this one in Singapore, Malaysia, though they do operate around the World, there other main base is Tokyo. Anyway this is the Boring 747-200 leaving Stansted (EGSS).

I had ORBX ground textures supposedly for FS9 already converted but I lost them when my HD crashed, I read what to do but I couldn't get my head round it so I left them stored on the drive.

Yes the cloud one is my favourite too.

Hi George, I've done a few shipping companies plus lots of other fictional airlines here: https://imageshack.com/a/qg7l/1 Col.

Fictional ai AEL Africa Express Line, I based them in Ghana, the 727 is on route to Dakar(GOOY). The AH-26 is on route to Douala (FKKD) in the Cameroon.

George, do you do any painting of aircraft, if so you can always copy and paste a cargo door on to your aircraft, I've done it a few times to make a freighter. Get one from another aircraft and copy it like this:

This one looks nice Rick, why not get this and tweak the cfg from your Harvard, mix and match lol.

I have often wondered where salt water meets fresh water in a river, well FSX captured it here lol.

Great shots there George, is it me or is the cargo door on the right hand side? Every freighter I ever worked on it was on the left.

Perhaps they are high-rise apartments lol.

On the subject of tweaking, I have 2 stories, a German seaplane I desperately wanted to fly as an ai, it would not perform, I spend a few days on it and eventually got it working. Another was the Fairey Rotodyne, again I wanted an ai version, spend days tweaking, in the end got it going, now I hardly ever use either of them lol.

Hi Rick, if your original flies like you want it but the other looks better can't you tweak the aircraft.cfg I've often used one for the other saving the contact points, lights and in some cases the weight and balance. I don't need to tell you to make a backup first lol.

The ones flying over the airport are very good, the level of detail in those is great.

Again I had to change the prop texture, the one on this wasn't black but still very visible, so I used one from a SAAB lol.

I did my own alternative to this after watching the series on TV I decided never to have Buffalo aircraft in my sim. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?311151-Bison&highlight=Bison Col.

Wow Ted, they are fantastic, great work again. Col.

I just had to have a dabble so I did a fictional on the DC-2:

I used to have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I got used to it, I liked it. I have it on disk but when I installed it again after the crash it asked me to register it, which I did but it wouldn't accept the number, got a message saying it had been used too many times. That was true as I had put it on a few of my older machines plus a few laptops, all belonging to me by the way, so in the end I upgraded to Windows 10. I'm not keen on it to be honest and would love to have Windows 7 again but I don't fancy going through all the saving of files and installing again. Col.

Thanks Jan mate.
