DJ's repaints / Re: Fleet: Yorkshire Cessna C182 pack

...on the PA28 Archer lll before moving on the Jordel and Cessna 152. All models included have been given an update with the paintkit to UHD.

It'll be nice to see a new Jodel, presumably from David F, since obviously none of the RFAI models are allowed to be plagiarized.

I created some 52-week plans for my own use in FS9, they are formatted for FS9 (week day numbers). Some categories of aircraft (eg club and school aircraft) will tend to be busier at weekends, while for business aircraft it will be the other way around. All weeks have aircraft that fly into the early evening after dark, and all but the Piper Seminoles and C210 will be flying VFR. There are a very small number of TNG details.

Some aircraft (eg Druine Turbulent, Tiger Moth etc) that absolutely look mad flying at night will get flightplans that vary with the seasons (shorter flying days in winter, longer in summer), but there's nothing here that needs that sort of detail, so the flying day is the same year-round.

Bases are derived from these sources in order of acceptability
1/ Tracking sites
2/ G-INFO where possible
3/ Images where possible

There are some bases with accepted FS9 ICAO substitute codes for FS9, for example X6IN (Insch) and X2EG (Eggesford). Only aircraft based at these places will tend to visit them.

I think the repaints for all of these are here on OCH.

You can use just one of the weeks if you don't want the routes and timings from their bases to constantly change.

But if your setup reflects the current moment, these NAL Engineering aircraft (and probably their C210?) are both now in Greece and cancelled from the UK register. Both flew to Megara. I would expect them to be Greek-registered by now.

In 2020 G-MOFO was HB-CYT.

They were transferred to the Greek register in September (marks not yet known). NAL got rid of them, they were listed for sale in the UK earlier this year.

In my 2019-fixed setup G-BBNZ is current and HB-CYT is current.

The N17274D repaint is N1724D, I just checked.

Ross, check your PMs.

Replying to an old post. The registration N17274D is incorrect. If a registration goes to 5 digits it should not have a letter at the end. If 4 - then 1 letter, if 3 digits or less, then up to 2 letters.

Forum members' repaints / Ravenair

« on: October 20, 2024, 10:47:15 PM »

Three sets of aircraft for Ravenair, UK. Basically intended for FS9, but those of a strong disposition could possibly stand to see them in later sims.

Partenavia P68 fleet, including the two Observers with fake noses, G-RIPA and G-OBSR
Their Piper Arrow, G-GFRA
Their Piper Cherokee 180 G-KIMZ painted up on the ANAI Piper Warrior. I've included a screenshot of this livery on an older Cherokee model with the slab wing. I don't intend to release that one. I don't even use it myself! An ANAI Warrior is close to a Cherokee 180, with a different tail tip and the non-slab/Hershey wing. It's still overall preferable, in my book.

I believe that most if not all other aircraft in the Ravenair fleet are already painted.

I have a huge amount of UK GA flying around, and yet the aircraft you've chosen so far have very few overlaps with what I'm using (so, some are drop-in livery replacements). I think the last tranche added something like 49 new specific registrations. I'll guess that this is because you're are paying attention to what's already out there, which would explain it. It's much appreciated.

I've not used my sim in a while, but when I do, the environment will have changed quite a bit.

I'm hoping to post up a revised Ravenair fairly soon (but with their Cherokee 180 on a Warrior, pending a model!).

I think OCI is a closed system and the plans are locked up in it. It's another reason why I make my own (52-week plans).

G-BBNZ and G-MOFO both "sold in the last month to an owner in Greece" - it's possible that the owner has themselves moved to Greece and taken the aircraft with them. Both fly there with the ADS still showing their UK identities.

De-registration recorded on G-INFO.

My sim is locked in 2019 and so this distinctive livery is still valid for me! Thanks Danny.

I'm making some plans for these various GA aircraft presently and researching the bases.

Hi Ross! Nice to see you here! 

BTW, Ravenair to appear here shortly... just need to get a few of the club aircraft painted up. I remade the Partenavias I put online 15-20 years ago, now including a couple of slightly dodgy fake Observers.
