Finished repaints

[Jason407]

No worries mate, perfectly understandable, I have TAQ already, it is very awesome I have 1 hour flight time in TAQ in real life.

I'm after TAS and TAV because I have 2 hours in each one in real life, I have about 25 hours total C-172R time in real life most of that was on the original ZK-TAX before in was landed in the water a few years ago.

When I took my ref pics for TAQ, we did a quick flight in TAJ - but it's not my favourite livery.

I've just checked my old pics. Yes, I did take a few of TAS. TAV looks to be the same styling as TAS - just a colour change, so if I get round to doing them I could do both.

That will be awesome.

Any idea when your above paint will be alive on AussieX?

It usually takes a day or two. It's not the quickest in the world, but it's an *excellent* site - and I tend to only place my repaints there so I can keep track of them more easily.

I'll update this topic as soon as I notice it's gone live.

Got it mate, it is awesome thanks.

Got it mate, it is awesome thanks.

... I've made a tentative start on ZK-TAS - though I've no idea how far I'll get with it before Christmas. Weird thing about TAS is that it has the rego on the underside of the wing. Quite unusual.

[Jason407]

That is awesome, I had added a two of my many pics I have taken of TAS for some inspiration.





In terms of the under wing rego quite a few of them have it including TAQ

I have quite a lot of pics I've taken of AFS cessnas at Ardmore and most of them seem to have the rego under the wing

[Adam_NZ]

Well ... I got incredibly bored *working* ... so I did this for a bit of light relief!







I'll give it a final going over then upload to AussieX ...

That is nothing short of art right there, it looks so good when I saw your first pic I thought it was a photograph, it is too awesome.

What Ardmore scenery are you using?

Thanks for the kind comments! I must admit, I quite often dive into outside view and just *gawp*. I can't believe this relatively ancient sim can produce such imagery.

The Ardmore is just standard ORBX/FTX NZNI - surprisingly well done - though Whenuapai isn't that great. If you haven't got either of the two NZ FTX regions, I'd definitely suggest you put them on your Christmas list - along with NZMF! Some of the textures/areas around the Hauraki Gulf are wonderfully done.

Awesome Adam, and its OK 'WORKING' is overrated anyway. Gets in the way of drinking tea

[Jason407]

Well I'm still in awe at this repaint, I can't wait to get it mate, well done on this one for sure.

Lewis, I wish I could claim working is over rated , I've been out of work for 3 years now, I've been getting my degree for the last 3.5 years and graduated this past September and I've been trying like mad to get my career started now, lucky I had a decent redundancy package and student loans have helped but now I need a decent job ASAP.

My "day" job is a web developer ... and with all the hacking, spamming and general vandalism that goes on these days, my job has turned into custard. 99% all-day fire-fighting. Grrr ... SO .. I'm turning to FSX more and more for light relief! It's also made my job far less profitable, so there's no way I can afford to fly for real!

I forgot to add a note to my previous post. Credit where credit's due - the A2A C172 paint files are highly detailed and easy to work with - and the model itself is a joy. Throw in some decent scenery and real weather and you can't fail!
