Forum members' repaints / Remaining Piper singles for FFH Flight Training

« Last post by mage on September 13, 2024, 01:58:22 PM »

Attached are the remaining Piper singles that I believe are operated by FFH Flight Training from Stuttgart and other airports in that area of Germany. In the absence of any solid information I have decided to base some of the fleet away from Stuttgart to places where they are more commonly photographed. This will ease problems at FS Stuttgart that would be created by a busy GA fleet operating from the same runway as the rest of the airport's traffic. It's easy for me to change. Aircraft now painted are in italics.

The screenshots for the Arrow IVs are prior to a small modification to the tail livery, which doesn't extend completely to the fuselage in the images (it does now).

Development / Re: Possible C172 repaint template for new livery

« Last post by mage on September 09, 2024, 09:08:04 AM »

I might have mentioned that I would revise the first template, and I have. It is attached. G-BNYM seems to wear a one-off version of this pattern. The one attached here as a revision is far more common.

It normally comes in just two colours, with the bottom fuselage stripe and the top tail stripe being on the second colour.

There are also quite a few 172s with a third color. This sits between the primary colour's main part and the secondary colour, as on OH-CAM. Using my terminology on OH-CAM, the red is primary, the silver is secondary, and the black is the third colour. Normally there are two colours used, and the black on OH-CAM would be red on aircraft like those.

Forum members' repaints / 2x ANAI Piper Warriors for FFH Flight Training - D-EELY and D-EEXL

« Last post by mage on September 07, 2024, 02:44:29 PM »

I intend to paint the rest of this fleet, even the Seminoles, or "Piper Semolinas" as I call them because of the way they handle, like a wet pudding. There is a UI model that can be stripped back for AI use. I ought to make one but I'm way too lazy.

They use Piper Seminoles, Arrows, Archers, Warriors (these two), Cessna 150s and a pair of Grob 115s that will be painted on Nick Black's Grob Tutor model. It will all take time.

I created 52-week plans for these 2 years ago on an early version of my modified-from-RPP planner, but with some really good updates to that software, I'm now able to make better sets for training operations, so those will also appear, probably before most of the repaints.

For now, here are the Warriors, which both seem to be based at Stuttgart. If anyone knows the real bases for the fleet members (I know some live elsewhere) just let me know before it's too late.

Forum members' repaints / HTAI C172 Aeropartner OK-BZF

Cessna 172 operated by Aeropartner, whose base is Prague Ruzyne, LKPR.

The image and the zip say Aerorent, because I mixed up the two actual companies in that part of the world with similar names! It's also why I initially thought the base was elsewhere - at Brno.

Hi Doug!

I'm sorry to hear about the health problems getting in the way of painting for a sim you obviously care about. It's never an easy decision to come to, to quit something that was important to us, for any reason at any age.

I hope it's some comfort to know that your work is out there in other peoples' setups, mine included, plying the virtual airways!

I made a few Guatemalan Cessnas in the One Click repainter that I've also flightplanned, so Guatemala City at least looks like it might be in Guatemala now, with a few local registrations floating about. Just about enough to give some sense of place. Looking at aerial images of airfields it is evident that aviation is vital to Guatemala, even if some of those airframes are no longer active.
