Re: Aero Ae-45S
Cheers Larry
you can pick it up at "The Pond" and I have a feeling your correct -- they used handed textures - because it appears on the Left side of both cowls -- so the one on the left engine wouldn't be much use.
Couple of things about the Aero for those who might be interested
1/. It has NO nav radio's in the package -- I'm going to have a quick chat with Mr Molyneaux and see if we cant code
his rather nice Narco 12D com/nav package from the Gemini/Messenger - also the period piece ADF if built for
the Auster.
2/. Sorry folks Baron sound cfg just doesn't cut it -- you may want to add the Cirrus Major set up for the Gemini, they
are similar in size and sound to the Walter Mikron.
3/. I have sent Dave Haskell an email to see if I can persuade him to produce a 2D panel that ISN"T in metric instrumentation
if he decides to do it - it will be at the pond first.
4/. Anyone who feels the need to do PRR's faux Heinkel paint scheme I'll gladly publish it at The Pond.

Oh yes and everyone -- A Big Thank You to our gracious host over there Rob English who has been cutting into his drinking
time to clean up the pond

Re: Aero Ae-45S
Just grabbed it Leif and had a quick look at the textures and all four sides (i.e. inner and outer faces of each engine) are mapped separately so it's just a matter of identifying which one is which and then moving the mirror over. It's a bit late now but I can look at in more detail tomorrow.DispatchDragon wrote:Cheers Larry

Any piccies on the net that you know of Leif?DispatchDragon wrote:4/. Anyone who feels the need to do PRR's faux Heinkel paint scheme I'll gladly publish it at The Pond.
Edit:
A quick Google search turned up just two photos of her in the 111 disguise and it's really hard to tell what colours she was painted in as it looks like purple and grey on my monitor! :o

Re: Aero Ae-45S
Looks like blue over grey on mine as well. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Let-Aero ... 00e29093d5
A German camo colours site would help.
Do I spy a RAF Catalina behind her too?

Re: Aero Ae-45S
For a whole lot of Aero 45 photos and quite a few of APRR in different schemes have a look at:

Re: Aero Ae-45S
Thanks Martin
I remember PRR in the two tone blue colour --Right after Maitland sold it -- seems to me that the Sokol was the same pattern but two tone brown and beige.
amazing how many actually found their way onto the British register.

Re: Aero Ae-45S
This one has a half decent view of the paint colours....

...it looks like there is a nice hovercraft in the background too.

Re: Aero Ae-45S
Leif are you sure about those dark circles you mentioned earlier? I just found this photo and it shows them to be more like louvres and located on the left side of each nacelle as they are in the current textures.

I have looked at a lot of Aero photos online now and have not seen any mirrors on any of them.

Re: Aero Ae-45S
Thinking it looked like a He.111 was to say the least a bit embarrasing
A bit like thinking a Heron looks like a Viscount
