I have uploaded the CV-580 new zealand repaints pack for fs2004 to flightsim,..should be available for download in a day or so. it works sweet in FSX but you will need an alternative panel as the one in the package has mostly non fsx compatible gauges.

Well done and thanks!
Been waiting for this one

Sweet

Will have to get it when it shows up on flightsim.com

Cool. I don't currently have any Convairs in my 'hangar' so this might be worth a download.
Having your paint packs will make it even more worth it

Thanks mate.

I have even put the thumbnails in each of the texture folders so as soon as some clever bugger makes a FSX compatible cv-580 panel for it it will be good to go in FSX..

Awesome! Now all we need is a good fspassengers payload model.

by **Adrian Brausch** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:05 am

It is on Flightsim.com now ready for download..

Got it a few days ago and it is pretty awesome

Thanks for doing such a great job of it

Good to have some New Zealand Convairs in my fs collection

This is the one I've been wanting - I have a half-done paint which I will unceremoniously chuck out now.
The Pepper model has a slight issue with the nose area, but this aircraft is really all about the FANS.
I love models that do prop feathering, and this has a big red button on the dash, marked [color=#800080]FEATHER.
Press it, and they do.

I've been a passenger on this aircraft, and it makes a great Executive Charter.
Fast and comfortable, with just enough nostalgia to make the trip special.[/color]

Yes, i can finally chuck out my old 580 with its Air Chathams paintjob.
Certainly a very worthwhile addition to the hangers.
Paint jobs very beautifully rendered on all.
Cockpit window shape looks almost like its been grafted in straight from a Fokker F-27 Friendship................

Thanks for the New Zealand repaints for the convair.

The Convair is a long time favourite aircraft of mine.

Now I can flyout to Chathams in the Convair.

Keep up the great work

Yeah, nice work Ian. I love them too. I even did a round-the-pacific tour in one a couple of years ago, it was all going swimmingly until my other-half got upset one night while the Cv580 was on auto-pilot and put the thing into a dive into the ocean near Japan, I had to take a screen-shot for posterity...

All we need now is for some clever bugger to make a photoreal Chatham Islands scenery to use with Lawries excellent Chathams Airport,..the default islands look really bad !!.
