I was going to do a repaint for St. Paddy's Day, but forgot about it. This was the best I could find in my hangar.

So Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Cool shots Larry.....is that repaint for the Iris Christen Eagle?

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks Greg.

That's ok, patchz is ⁴/₅ ~~Scotch~~ Scottish. Roll Eyes

Actually, I am of Irish, Scotish, and Cherokee descent.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

No, it's the Long Island Classics Eagle II for FS9 updated to FSX and I have never been able to get the gauges to show up. And I have not flown it enough to justify buying the IRIS model. But right now, I can't remember whose repaint or where I got it. Have to find the zip file, which is getting increasingly difficult. Roll Eyes

Try editing the Alpha Channel of gaugeglass.bmp. Palette Index 50 works for me. http://www.simviation.com/phpupload/uploads/1300418979.jpg

Other VC textures might need a few more tweaks to get it right.

Well that's why you and I get along so well on this forum, we have exactly the same blood running through our veins sorta speak

The only difference is my daddy would have smacked me up side the head if I ever referred to myself as Scottish...it was always 'Scotts/Irish/Cherokee
No worries, I can't explain it either!!!

Exterior wise, you are 100% correct. Grin

Unfortunately, Doug's panel fix did not work. Sad
