Good. The Black field looks much better know. I think you cant get it sitting perfect. I think. it's a modell mistake. But i say, that this problem is my disfigurement ;D

I'll set me in some hours on the next one.

VA-86 "Sidewinders"

and after:

VA-82 "Marauders"

Fear not, I know how to fix that. Its usually because the title of an aircraft in the cfg file has been changed, or removed.

On your computer, browse to:

C:\Documents and Settings\*your username*\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files\

Find the flight (*.flt) you have set as defaut, and either delete it (easier), or edit the aircraft its trying to load as follows (takes longer but means you dont loose your saved flight):

Open the .flt in notepad (or similar), and find the following line:

[Plane.0]
Aircraft=XXXX

Open the aircraft.cfg of the aircraft you want to load up, and copy the 'title' from there, into the 'aircraft' from the flight file.

Mine looks like
Aircraft=T-6 Proto

Save the flight file and it should load up fine.

Thanks, it works now, but some very bad news:

My father deleted the A-7 Folder with all repaints ive done, and the he deleted the bin, because he was cleaning his computer. I said him that he had deleted the Repaints, he looked very  excusing...

So, im trying to get an Un-Delet Programm, that i can rebuild the folder. The i will finish the Sidewinders and Marauders and uploading the Package.

So, some news.

The last weeks were very busy (school, girlffriend...this stuff, you know) and i started a new rapint. It's a Corsair from 76th TFS

Image

I think this is looking realy nice!

Will start today and i will make a lot of them ready in the following weekend, because I'm at one of the biggest model jet exhibiton of the world, called "Jet Power" in near of Cologne. So, I've much time to make the last 4 ready, after I will upload them. But first, i will start on the paint of the SEA Scheme.

Cheers

Yes it looks good, and will be surely a great paint!

Great, hmm, do you already know when all these repaints you've made will be finished to release them?
Or do you want to paint all painting shemes that ever existed before publishing any of its??!  ;D
