Hi all,
Here's a preview of the modified version I made, I haven't uploaded it anywhere, mainly because I don't know what I need to do... never done a repaint/upload before, so I will have to investigate the process.

Both of them look great - first time I've seen the "Piper Stinson" logo.

WOW!

The repaints look awesome! Something like this is what makes flight simming so satisfying! To have a 'personal' aircraft to fly around in and explore... and to have folks who are cognizant of that fact & willing to help out!

Good Job!

LeeC, you can easily upload it here to SimV. Here's the upload page.

This will explain how to upload your repaint:


Hope this helps,

PS: I like the repaint! I just downloaded the plane and took it for a test flight. It is really nice.

Thanks Hughes-MDFlyer4 (you should all have 4 letter names like me  )

Hopefully, people will be okay with a non-technical description. I'm not a flight enthusiast, I just like planes, flight sims and computer games, so I couldn't tell you anything about the plane other than what someone else tells me.

I will get it all into a package later and probably upload it tonight.

One other thing, the plane was from another site, is it okay to provide links to other sites?

[BrandonF]

I think so.

[LeeC]

Well I uploaded this repaint on Saturday but it still hasn't appeared. Anyone know how long it normally takes?

[ViperPilot]

Good Morning, Lee!

Hi ViperPilot,
Ah, oddly enough, if you click on the "Go to page" link from the search results, it isn't there on the page.

As for the repaint, I can't do much right at the minute, my wife is going into hospital tomorrow, so I am a little distracted.

[ViperPilot]

Lee,

Thanks for the reply! I understand, and don't want to pull you away from more pressing needs. I have a De Havilland Beaver in the hangar that has a good repaint... I just wanted to add a couple of minor things to it, like some outlining around the registration # and possibly an anti-glare texture in front of the windscreen. If you want (and are able to), just let me know and I can send you whatever you need.

I sure hope everything is (and goes well) with your wife...

Thanks again!

Alan

I can't express enough of how thrilling it is for me have a couple of guys take time out of their lives to do this, so an enormous public thanks of appreciation goes to LeeC and FrequentFlyer for these efforts. This is truly an accurate portrayal of what I had and I do hope it gets uploaded for others to enjoy also. This plane was indeed one of the loves of my life in my younger years and I managed to accumulate about 500 hours of time in it, hunting, vacationing, and in business travel. An honest 4 place sporting a 165 hp Franklin it saw many small strips and a few dirt roads, like the one pictured below on a hunting trip in central Arizona. And it appears to still be in service in Oklahoma according to FAA records.

I see the upload is available now and works ... I just tried it to check it out.

[LeeC]

Alan,
Can you send me a link to the plane model and the current repaint you have, along with a bit more detail about what you want doing please?

I can let the idea tinker about in the back of my mind, and at some point, I will be sat in front of my PC and it will happen. Sorry I can't be more specific on time than that.

... and thank you, I just wish things were going well... unfortunately, Chemo's a bitch and so is what it is fighting. 

Cheers
Lee

Ah, it looks like the repaint is not going to be available here in the download pages.
