A little help here - with RAF AI?

[speedbird591]

I'm just making sure my local airports and traffic are up to scratch. There are only two - Bristol (EGGD) and RAF Lyneham (EGDL). Bristol's all sorted out with UK2000 and World of AI traffic. I've got a satisfactory Lyneham scenery which comes with some AI which, as you can see, could be improved a tad ..



I've got the very nice Henry Tomkiewicz AI C-130s but can only find camouflage paints for them. Does anybody know if there are any current RAF paints anywhere? And is there an RAF AI C-17 anywhere? And what else might be found at Lyneham?

Just to save me driving over and trying to look through the fence

Thank you.

Hi Ian..

UKMIL did a C-130 AI pack but I can't remember that the liveries were. If you can find it, there's an excellent PAI C-17 in RAF grey. If you can't find it.. I'll be happy to send it

Thanks very much, Dave. I can only see camo paints on the UK Mil site.

Do you think those RAF A319s would like better in camo? Or sky blue pink?

Hi Ian,

At flightsim.com -

ai130raf.zip - Dee Waldron AI 130 in grey textures by UKMIL.
c130raf2.zip - grey Lyneham textures for Mike Stones 130 - link to model in readme.
c17raf.zip - grey textures for Mike Stone's C17 - link to model in readme

HTH,

Rgds,

Thanks for those links, Colin. I've downloaded the 'allegedly' Dee Waldron/UKMil file but haven't installed it yet. Mysteriously, the readme file in the download folder says it's DW but the readme in the model folder and the aircraft.cfg says it's by Henry Tomkiewicz

whatever/whoever - it looks just the job in the jpeg I'll install it later on and see what I've ended up with!

I've now got the PAI C-17 that Dave mentioned, so I'll do that at the same time.

Thank you.

Thanks, guys. It might not be truly authentic but now I've got pairs of C-130s flying in low circles around the Wiltshire countryside which is pretty normal - or it was before they got busy elsewhere. Lyneham looks a bit more like an Air Force base now.



Thanks for your help.

Looking good Ian - nice one!

Thanks, Graham. I saw those but I wanted the current grey livery as, apart from at my 3 retro airports, my AI is as modern as I am

It's a shame because there are two different models.

Thanks anyway.

I've just finished doing the flight plans for the traffic at Lyneham. I shot a few minutes of video as I checked it out and I've strung it together in a five minute YouTube video if anyone's interested. There's no soundtrack except the generic AI prop or jet background. It's only Hercs, a couple of C-17s and a VC10 but quite a nice scenery package.
