NZFF

Well I've been waiting a while for this one

http://speed99.webhosting.klfree.net/class/witex/index.html

That looks very nice! It would be interesting to compare it to the Lotus L-39. BTW the NZ L-39 population has grown to 4 with another arriving from the States

If this is only the beta......






Paul, wouldn't it be great to see 2 or 3 together at an airshow in NZ

I did a little comparison there are a few differences in both the way it handles and looks. Sorry about the slight changes in angles.


Lotus L-39


Beta L-39


Lotus L-39


Beta L-39

This is very, very good by any measure.
Given it's a beta freeware release: astonishing.
This guy is no amateur.



Vit also has a sense of humour.
This one is for FS9 he says, you want something for FSX, go buy the Lotus model!
(Implying it is unbeatable )

Now that had to come from you Charl , Wicked Screen

One oddity I did notice - the Artifical Horizon is drawn as a Russian type unit (where the tilt indicates the aircraft's tilt relative to the horizon), but is read like a western type HSI (where the tilt indicates the horizon's tilt relative to the aircraft).
Anyway, here are a few of my own:

Nice shots!

Glad to see you having fun with the GDR "144" repaint I did.
Seems like Vit's Albatros is about to become one of the most repainted aircraft - just take a look at this huge thread here:

Charl just sent me an interesting suggestion on this Kiwi-based L-39 here:
http://www.aeroplane-pictures.net/registration.php?p=ZK-WLM

He also mentioned that the photographer of two of these thrilling shots, Gavin Conroy, is a member here.
Gavin?
Do you have any useful closeups, especially on the "skull&bones" tailfin?

I'd love to roll this beauty into my paint hut once again...

Cheers,
Markus.

First little sneak preview:

Looking lurvely bud

Nice!!! I may have a few close up shots....will check later tonight.

Didn't realize you did the paint on GDR 144 - looks great
I may have a couple suggestions on a paint job as well
I soooooooo have to learn to do my own repaints.

This Slovak MiG-29 scheme here would make a neat inspiration: http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.sear...1174341ad6b3d97

"Official" list of identified bugs, which hopefully will be fixed for the final release.
I hope lots of people use the Donate button to encourage the dude...

Markus,

Here is one of the other NZ based alby's

..heres another...theres another one just arrived but not sure what it looks like

That blue scheme is smart, where is it based Paul?

jeeeeeez!!!!! what a waste!!!.......I could be sitting in that rear seat

Much too nicer plane to have spare seats in it

The Blue one is not going anywhere in that photo though....high speed taxi tests...note the covered pitot tube.

Not sure , hi speed taxi or not , covering the pitot tube ? not a bright idea or is this now standard , ... in any machinery i ve operated , you make sure all sensors are on , but in saying that - the work place i,m in advocates work safety only to find many Russian s working in the place and witnessed covering sensors simply to prove a high production level .

Huh!
Not the easiest paint to start with. Placing those tiny squares should become a painter's nightmare...

@ Fauville:
This one looks quite nice - but IIRC, there are some very well done "authentic" russian paints already released. Didn't SteveB over at SOH did them?


I could use a little help on ZK-WLM. This is what I did up to now:










Although I tried hard, I didn't manage to grab a pic showing the upper wing/upper fuselage camo pattern - so this is currently sheer guesswork. It would be great if anyone could help me out with useful references on these areas.
I know that "BananaBob" once did a repaint on ZK-WLM with this pattern for the Lotus L-39, but it seems unavailable now. Any owners of this repaint here to help me out with a screenshot?

Thanks in advance,
Markus.
