SSI01 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've managed to locate and download the Dave Garwood Dh89fsx.zip for FSX. I have two skins from Jan Kees Blom for Dave's Dh89aV4, which I am unable to locate and searches of several websites, including CBFS, can't surface it. Where can I find this download? thanks.

il88pp Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Why locate the paints if you have them? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSI01 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 So that's V4, huh? Wonder why the JKB write-up for the textures calls it the DH89a? Texture names within the two JKB downloads do not match what's in the DG FSX file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 What makes you think these paints exist for fsx? What is "the DG FSX file"? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwafer Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi SSI01, I found Dave Garwoods Dh89aV4 on the Classic British Flightsim site easily enough. Like you, I looked at the version I had (Dh89aFSX.zip). Dh89aFSX.zip appears to be version 3. On the CBFS Home page the aircraft manufacturers are listed - Avro, BAC etc. Click on "DeHavilland", then click on "Rapide". A page will display, with 2 pictures and 6 zipfiles. Click on "CBFS_Dh89a_V4p2.zip" and download it. Its about 69Mb. Hope this helps. Regards, Philip M. Wafer EIWT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSI01 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi, Ants. Thanks for coming by. I've got a few of your aircraft in the hangar, wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy flying in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSI01 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thanks,pwafer. Did exactly as you described and found it right away. Will install shortly. Much thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSI01 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 "What makes you think these paints exist for fsx?" -Every texture file in the referenced texture ends in .dds. That's usually the case for an FSX file, isn't it? -Texture.cfg included in the texture file is in a format common to FSX texture files. -The aircraft.cfg file entry title in the "readme" file states: "FSX Dh89 V4 Dutch Air Force Gelderland." The "DG FSX" file I am trying to use shorthand for is, in full, "Dave Garwood de Havilland Dh89a Dragon Rapide V4 for FSX (SP2 / Acc) & P3d." That's a bit much to be printing out in full every time you want to use it when you're under the weather. I've been flight-simming since the mid-90s and have lost track of the times folks have posted a texture for a sim aircraft that contains just the texture files - and that's it. Not even a .cfg entry. The rest you've got to figure out on your own. That's a form of shorthand, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Your first post reads to me as if you have the fsx plane (fsx.zip), as if you also have the fs2004 version of the plane, have 2 textures for the fs9 version, and you then assume they exist for the fsx version as well. Nevermind, I'll leave you guys to it. I'm tired as well.;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSI01 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Taking a hiatus from FS for a while. Unsure of length. See everyone later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
