NZFF

I see we're attracting lots of interest for NZ-related repaints - not only local NZFF'ers but also from talented painters from "abroad". This is just *brilliant* but it's made my job of trying to keep track of them all much harder than it used to be . These [much appreciated] repaints are scattered all over the forums.

So ... a polite request:

To keep an up-to-date record of all NZ-related repaints (FS9 or FSX) would all repainters please PM me with details of any skins they have completed and wish to add to NZFSIM? Similarly, if anyone updates existing files, then please PM me to keep the database current!

The more we have on the system, the better! There are so many awesome repaints available and it'd be great to be able to find them all easily.

For the record - in 99% of cases, the files are hosted elsewhere and I post an easy way of finding them (no direct linking). However, I can host files on the site as well if people want/need to.

For repaints that are on the system, I've created a gif file for posting - eg: Chris Brisland's Catalina repaint could have something like this (click to follow the link):

UPDATE: I've added a basic repaint_info.txt file that repainters can use to fill in all the info and then PM back to me. It may help keep this topic uncluttered and it'd certainly help me entering the data!

Thanks to all that have already submitted

=========================
If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about please follow the NFSIM link (below) to see what I'm trying to do!

Thanks for all those Ian - I'll get cracking!

Yep best place for the files, I reckon - and their search page works well. I just thought a site (with links for only) for all NZ stuff in one place may be handy (for some!).

I use it myself when I'm thinking of buying a cheap add-on (from Flight Sim deal of the day, usually) ... to see what NZ repaints are available for that model of aircraft. I've got so used to *only* flying NZ aircraft that I feel weird/disloyal flying anything else!

ADAM !Best place , I had Waka172 Blake asking for the old Air New Zealand Scheme , Teal blue green pin stripe (1980s) for the LD767 , again good reason supplant plop and post info here , anyone with the paint , send a PM to Blake , but maybe re-post it to a primary site , more likely was on AVSIM but file losted .

Count me in:

Thanks for all those ... adding them now!
If you want to do a quick check to see your paints on there, try this search.

Looking at your site, there are still a few I haven't got. Either they don't have download links or there's just a filename.

Two greens to choose from...

FS2004 RNZAF P-40M Kittyhawk Mk. III, RNZAF NZ3072. Repaint for the IRIS Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk, now released as freeware, depicting the RNZAF NZ3072 'Wairarapa Wildcat', flown by P/O Geoff Fisken, Guadalcanal 1943. Two liveries (olive drab and NZ foliage green) included. These are texture files only. This repaint was made utilizing the paint kit by David Brice/IRIS. By Markus Hellwig.

Hey Adam just a small correction - the Islander is twin piston powered not turboprop (the models that you reference anyway as there is a turboprop version).

Well spotted, Batman! I must admit, my new Flight1 Islander I flew yesterday certainly didn't sound like a turboprop!

One more for the list:

FS2004 Mount Cook Airlines DHC-6, registration ZK-CJZ. Repaint for the Premaircraft DeHavilland DHC-6 long nose Twin Otter, depicting the Mount Cook Airlines ZK-CJZ in its 1970 livery. These are texture files only. Prior installation of the PAD DHC6-300 base pack (D6_FWLG9.ZIP) is required. This repaint was made using the paint kit by Premaircraft, adding some panel lining and a subtle weathering and shadowing. By Markus Hellwig.

It's available at AVSIM and Flightsim.com now, filename is
