By request: Fictional... well sort of. I haven't seen this design on a 182 but who knows maybe they'll get one now lol.

Here's a couple of real planes with this design:

Enjoy!

Very nice.......Aerial Apparatus for the Forestry Service, it does look better on A2A

Thank you Scott. Yeah I really like it. Just somethin bout it. Cheers!.
Repainted the pilot to match a bit too... (Shirt, Jeans, Cap).

Know what really funny? I only have about 20 minutes in this plane LOL I guess I'll have to take a break and do a little XC.

Step away from the paint cans and go fly this airplane Don't make me have a conversation with your Doctor

LMAO! goodluck, after our last visit he jumped out of the window ten stories high and died on impact!

Super Alan,thanks a lot.

Are you going to do shiny metal repaint of the 182?

I would really like a paint of the old style shiny metal lower fuselage and cloured top half.

Thanks again.
regards Chris

Another damn fine paint Sir! Is that Matte Black on the Nose!?

Thanks everyone!.

John,
Something like that. Anti-Glare panel matte finish with some wear like Oxidation of the paint and weather beaten. Also starting to roughen up a bit from microscopic cracks due to the wear, temperatures, rain, sun... especially down here in Florida.

Maybe but nothing like that soon. Want to get a couple of recreations going that I've been looking at.

Amen! i never thought my request would become virtual reality so quick!

This one will get some serious work done!

Cheers!

dammit I forgot one little part!!! UGGHHHHH Tired I guess. Haven't done that in a while.
The red leading tip of the Fin against the fuselage just front of the Yellow/black stripe should be WHITE!!! oooops!.lol)
OK It will take me 2 minutes to correct that so I'll make an update of the main *.*_t.dds file.

Uploading UPDATE, Stand by

UPDATE ONLY. for repaint N145Z U.S. FOREST SERVICE. Please be sure to download the model in the beginning of this thread then download this file here in this update and just overwrite your original T.dds file in your US Forestry aircraft folder

UPDATE Fixes the Red tip. Changed to white.

Beautiful stuff, there's something about the 182 that makes it look really good in "formal uniform" (e.g. USFS or CAP). And it would really be a shame to have a plane look so beautiful and stand idle, so here's a nice little utility I saw mentioned in another forum that will keep it busy:

https://github.com/ollyau/FSActiveFires/releases

Essentially, it downloads data from NASA's FIRMS site and inserts active fires in FSX/P3D (the fire/smoke effect is actually rather nice).

Tym,

I use FSActiveFires to determine ALL my virtual flights. Something different every time.
