  1. Thanks for your efforts Bill. Great series of videos.
  2. It's good to see that someone finally came along and did an excellent FSX native panel for the classic Douglas DC-4, instead of FS9 crossovers. Great work GM. I have actually downloaded almost all your panels, and will continue to do so. As a diehard classic airline fan, I'd love to see more FSX classic panels from you in future.
  3. Did you read the Info text in my repaint folder? I specifically stated that "This USAF texture is the proprietary possession of the creator; Ted Giana. It is only for personal use and may not be modified, copied, reused, re uploaded, or placed, in any shape or form, to a package or pack without the express permission of Ted Giana." I did not get any request from you to modify my fuselage paint work. An email with a request would have been the obvious thing to do.
  4. Great work uenoshing :) I hope we see many more aircraft from you in future.
  5. Hi there Peer, Rick, Larry, Michael. Thanks, I hope you all enjoy the repaints.
  6. Continued from previous post........... That's it, enjoy. TG
  7. Hi there fellas, How's everyone? I haven't posted here for about 5 months as I had been busy writing a history of Braniff International Airways. I finally completed the book last month and is now on sale at Amazon, (and I believe soon at Barnes & Noble). Here is a link to the thread about the book in another section of this forum: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?324595-quot-Braniff-International-Airways-The-Texan-Giant-1948-to-1982-quot-Book Anyway, to the repaints. I did 15 repaints of the aircraft that Braniff operated from 1948 to 1982. I missed one, the DC-6. I actually did one for the book, but later I screwed up the Photoshop PSD file. The pics: Continued.....................
  8. Thanks Aaron, Larry N., and dlfrenchmd, I'm glad you like the book. Aaron, I decided to write the book for the very same reason. I wanted to focus on the airlines history, write as much information as needed, without overdoing it, and off course, focus on the aircraft. Also, the fleet data section at the end of the book, took me ages to finish. But, it was worth it in the end. Whether, you guys buy the book or not (hopefully you will:)), it's a joy to know there are people out there who appreciate the hard work that others put in. Cheers, T.G.
  9. JSMR, I think I will leave it to someone else to publish a book on Braniff's "sexy" uniforms. LOL.
  10. Hi Larry, long time, no see. Thanks for your support. The book kept me busy until the middle of this month (August), when it all came together. I finally published it on August 20. The research, and writing of the book were easy enough (it took just over 2 months - working on it almost daily), but when I got to the editing/proofreading/formatting/cover design/ publishing, things got a bit stressful. But, I finally got it done. Actually, I did do some repaints of Braniff's fleet, which I will upload on Flightsim by next week. So, look out for those. A few of those repaints are also in the book. If you do decide to buy it, I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Ted.
  11. Hi everybody, I'm a new author, and have written the history of the colorful, and flamboyant Braniff International Airways. Prior to the writing of the book I had uploaded around 400 repaints on Flightsim. I used the nickname of "Ted Giana" here. My actual name is Theodore Gianna. I got the approval of Nels Anderson to promote my book in the Flightsim forums. I am very grateful, and would like to thank Nels for his support. This is my blurb for the book: "Braniff International Airways revolutionized the civil aviation industry in the 1960s with its colorful and enigmatic President, Harding Lawrence. It went from an airline which was not dissimilar from other U.S. airlines, to an airline that infused color and soul into its image, and its passengers. This is the story of that airline. From the founders Paul and Thomas Braniff, to the bright airliner colors, unforgettable advertising campaigns, pizzazz, and High Couture air hostess uniforms, Braniff was unmatchable. This was an airline that Texans were proud of – Braniff International Airways, The Texan Giant." One important thing I would like to point out is that the book was vetted, and approved by the President of the Braniff Airways Foundation, Mr. Ben Cass. This snippet from the foundation's website can give you an idea of what they stand for: "The Braniff Airways Foundation is currently spearheading the effort to preserve the history of Braniff Airways, Inc., through collecting, preserving, promoting, and protecting the carrier's legacy." To be able to get that approval of my book from the President of Braniff Airways Foundation, Mr. Ben Cass, is for me, a monumental achievement. For anyone interested, here it the Braniff Airways Foundation's website: http://www.braniffairwaysfoundation.org/ The book is divided into the following 4 parts: 1)The history of Braniff International Airways, 1928 to 1982. 2)Over 60 color photos of every airliner used by Braniff International from 1948 to 1982. 3)Images of Braniff’s timetables, from 1931 to 1982. 4)A full data list of all Braniff International aircraft operatated from 1948 to 1982.
