Me too, but I suppose you can't really have penguins in a flight simulator Correct. After all, penguins don't fly anymore. The Creator Himself took back their flight license... oh, hundred of thousands years ago now. ;D

Penguins aside, it's a great paintjob on the Navy Connie. Recommended scenery for this plane?

Hi circleman -
I have an Addon Scenery folder named Brunt and this is from the Readme file saved with it:
"Antarctica Scenery for Flight Sim 2004 =======================================
Antarctica has some of the most dramatic scenery anywhere, yet it's rendered in FS as a dull plain scattered with snowy rock. This package corrects the coastlines, landclass, textures and mesh for the slice between 30W and 0E, from 68S to the pole. I've also included the set of macros I produced a few years ago covering some of the British Antarctic Survey bases and depots.
It includes: - Landclass - LOD8 Mesh - Coastlines - Replacement textures - Some fuel dumps, remote observing posts and a complete base - Halley."
I get most of my scenery from Avsim or Flightsim. Couldn't find it on Flightsim or Simviation, and Avsim seems still to be having server problems - so life being what it is, I would bet it is on there. I originally downloaded it with a view to Trans-Polar flights from NZ to Chile, but that idea is on hold because (a) there are some really great Connies in the pipeline and (b) I am still learning how to drive one properly.
Hope this helps - I probably searched for antarctica mesh to find it.

OK, I uploaded a master repaint aircraft CFG to reflect today's release of the "G" model. Disregard the CFG's included in each repaint, just copy and paste from the modified list into your aircraft CFG. Repaints do not contain the VC textures, just copy over a set from one the released paint included in the released package. I downloaded the package early this morning but have not tried it yet, so I'm off to do so. Leave a PM if you want any of them and I'll send you the link.

Cman,
I just tried and was able to download the CFG. MediaFire gets crazy at times. Please try again.

Hi Frank, how does one get a copy of the actual paints Do I need to have an account with the Mediafire site And on a related note..one of our L-1049 team members was looking for a Irish Air Lines skin...which I was going to put together while Manfred works on cutting the cargo door opening out and welds in the hinges and reinforcments.....but you have such a wonderful one already done. Would it be possible to simply make a copy with the "Irish Airlines Lines" text Stefan

Hi there,
For those (like myself) not having Photoshop or similar: there is a new templates package in the making for the Super Connie. It will be available in a few days. Same versions as in the previous package. I'll keep you posted.
Cheers, Maarten

I think you are missing that he took them down (see the thread "1049G Repaint Downloads on hold"), since he is going to redo the interior textures.

Stefan,
I took the downloads down. I will put them back up once I update them accordingly.

See I knew I was missing something ;D I must have tried once before they were active and then again after they were taken down....missing the moment when they were active I'll just have to fly her in my TCA textures then until Manfred is done with the H model conversion ;D ;D Thanks Tom and Frank
