HJG's Latest "Great British" Releases

Post by Mark C »

Like to take up "a wee bit" of space here to present some of the latest "Great British" aircraft/airline liveries that've just been released by HJG today

Some liked the following when they began appearing some 25 years ago .... and some didn't .... that's appreciated/respected and there's no desire want to risk generating "The War Of The Roses II" since there's enough conflict and disagreement going on in the real world around us at the moment, but for what it's all worth, HJG's just released textures for all of the known BA Utopia/World Tail livery themes for the B737-300/400/500 (some what's presented below includes earlier released textures for BAe 146, B727-200 ADV, CONCORDE and MD-80) as follows ....


"BAUHAUS"

Also known as "STERNTALER/FAIRYTALE" .... by German artist Ante BRUGGEMANN .... was a theme representing the simple/rational but functional asymmetry of Bauhaus inspired design. It was applied across 3 of the BRITISH AIRWAYS fleet .... including that of its DUETCHE BA subsidiary.

B737-300

"BENNYHONE TARTAN"

This was one of the most favored of the "WORLD TAIL/UTOPIA" livery themes and was also known as "MOUNTAIN OF THE BIRDS". It was created by self-taught Scottish tartan weaver and historian Peter McDonald and influenced by WILLIAM WILSON & SON OF BANNOCKBURN colours. It was applied across 25 of the BRITISH AIRWAYS fleet .... including that of its South African based COMAIR franchise.

B737-300
Image


"BLOMSTERANG"

Also known as "FLOWER FIELD". This particular theme .... featuring hearts and flowers .... was created by Smaland located Swedish ceramics and stained glass artist Ulrica HYDMAN-VALLIENN. It was applied across 7 the BRITISH AIRWAYS fleet .... including that of its South African based COMAIR franchise.

B737-400
Image


"FLOWERS Of MAZOWSZE"

Also known as "MAZOWIECKIE KWIATKI". Inspired by flowers and Peacoke feathers this was one of two "WORLD TAIL/UTOPIA" livery themes created by Polish paper-cut artist Danuta WOJDA. Although applied to a single aircraft only it was two similarly based designs by the same artist that were adopted by BRITISH AIRWAYS.

B737-300

"FLOWERS FROM LOWICZE"

Also known as "KOGUTKI LOWICKIE" and "COCKEREL OF LOWICZ". This was the 2nd of two flowers and Peacoke feathers inspired "WORLD TAIL/UTOPIA" themes created by Polish artist Danuta WOJDA and which were applied across 10 of the BRITISH AIRWAYS fleet.

It was applied across 3 of the BRITISH AIRWAYS fleet.

B737-300
Image


"PAUSE TO REMEMBER"

Although this was never a part of the BRITISH AIRWAYS "WORLD TAIL/UTOPIA" livery themes .... it was applied across at least 3 of BRITISH AIRWAYS feet during the same period.

B737-400
Image


"UNION FLAG"

Also known as "CHATHAM ROYAL DOCKYARD". This particular theme represents a stylized and waving British Union Jack flag .... based on a banner displayed at the Kent located Chatham Royal Dockyard. It was initially applied across the 7 strong BRITISH AIRWAYS CONCORDE fleet. A restyled version of this same theme eventually replaced all previously applied "WORLD TAIL/UTOPIA" livery designs .... to form the airlines current fleet wide/definitive livery following public objection to the lack of distinctly "BRITISH"/national identity expressed by the other "WORLD TAIL/UTOPIA" livery themes.

BAC CONCORDE 102

"WHALE RIDER"

Created by Joe DAVID .... this particular theme was based on a wooden carving representing whaling traditions, and which also incorporated mythological creatures from the native folklore of Canada's Northwest coast located First Nation Tia O Qui Aht people.

It's mostly common knowledge by now that for the past 1.5 years HJG have given the DMFS flight line a new/permanent home.

In doing so HJG have "fixed" all the known previous issues that existed among the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DH COMET, HS TRIDENT, and VC10/C1K panels (which remain FS2004 native but are also now FSX portable *without any known issues") .... and also "without altering the appearance and/or functionality of any of these panels or any of their supporting gauges/utilities (this's simply simply been "a complementary repair job").

Also ... last December HJG released brand new HQ sound packs for the entire DMFS line (separate FS2004 and FSX specific productions) as an alternative to the original DMFS audio (the latter of which HJG continues to offer). This "NEW" HJG audio is by Benoit PLAMONDON and is as follows ....

BAC ONE-ELEVEN RR Spey 506 turbofan
BAC ONE-ELEVEN RR Spey 511 turbofan
BAC ONE-ELEVEN RR Spey 512 turbofan

DH COMET 3 RR Avon turbojet "no reverse"
DH COMET 3B/4/4B/4C RR Avon turbojet

HS TRIDENT 1C RR Spey 505 turbofan
HS TRIDENT 1E RR Spey 511 turbofan
HS TRIDENT 2E RR Spey 512 turbofan
HS TRIDENT 3B RR Spey 512 turbofan (with booster effects)

VC10/C1K RR Conway fanjet

These "NEW" sound packs are "FAR SUPERIOR" to Benoit's earlier audio releases for some of the DMFS flight line.

In addition to this HJG's also .... over the past 1.5 years .... been slowly expanding the original DMFS texture line .... and which includes these latest liveries for both the BAC ONE-ELEVEN and HS TRIDENT ....


NORTHROP/GRUMMAN AEROSPACE BAC ONE-ELEVEN 401AK N162W (2017 .... had to use the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 475 Radar Model for this subject since there's no specific or equivaent 3D model ve foor the -400)
Image

BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 401AK G-AVGP "County Of Nottinghamhire" (1984)
Image

BRITISH AIRWAYS/MAERSK AIR BAC ONE-ELEVEN 401AK G-BBME (1994)
Image

BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 537GF G-BFWN (1979)
Image

BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 539GL G-BGKF "County Of Warwickshire" (1982)
Image

BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 530FX G-AZMF "County Of Northumberland" (1990)
Image

BRITISH AIRWAYS/MAERSK AIR BAC ONE-ELEVEN 501EX G-AWYR
Image


Some of the above BAC ONE-ELEVEN and TRIDENT liveries may "appear to be" similar to those offered by DM, but, be assured that's "not" the case though. Each are "different" .... and are "historically oriented" .... because that's what the "H" in "HJG" has always stood for since 2000 ;)

There's a whole lot more that's been added .... and a ot more still to be added too .... BUT .... without risking re-writing something in accordance with the length of both Old and New Testaments I think what's presented above is sufficient for this reveal .... for the time being :)

A visit to the DMFS aircraft section of the HJG website will reveal the full extent of everything else that's "so far" been added/released ....

Thanks so much for the update, Mark. :) The new paints look great! The 'Delftblue Daybreak' paints takes me back to the late '90's when Mrs. FlyTexas flew on a BA 777 (Delftblue Daybreak livery) from Dallas to London-Gatwick. The livery always reminded me of plates that my Grandmother had back in the day. :lol:

Same here, I miss them too in MSFS, but there's no doubting the quality and research that goes into these models... even if some of them are 737's 8) :lol:

A few new TRIDENT's coming soon at HJG .... these are all fresh/new recently compiled HQ textures ("not" upgrades of previously existent material) for the DMFS TRIDENT -1E's ....


IRAQI AIRWAYS HS121 TRIDENT 1E YI-ABC (1969)
Image

IRAQI AIRWAYS HS121 TRIDENT 1E YI-ABB (1975)
Image

KUWAIT AIRWAYS HS121 TRIDENT 1E 9K-ACF (1966)
Image

KUWAIT AIRWAYS HS121 TRIDENT 1E 9K-ACH (1970)
Image


"OTHERS" liveries are also being compiled or are planned ;)

Each of the above 4 TRIDENT's won't become publicly available until sometime next month/December (2022)

There's a bit more I can say in regard to a number of improvements HJG have successfully implemented to the DMFS flight line ("without altering any of what was originally offered" .... at least not beyond the "fixes" we've applied but which have't altered any of DM's original concept /s either), but, I may present that later .... although most of this has already been communicated on the HJG forum.

Just thought I'd mention ....

The above presented and "new" IRAQI AIRWAYS and KUWAIT AIRWAYS HS121 TRIDENT 1E textures are now each publicly available .... added to the DMFS collection at HJG ....
simviation.com/hjg/

Released last weekend ;)

FS2004 native and FSX portable .... along with the fixed DMFS panels and some other aircraft base pack expansions too.

Also supported by "brand new" RR SPEY audio (by Benoit PLAMONDON) for each marque of these engines which powered the TRIDENT's .... released last December as separate FS2004 and FSX native audio productions.

These audio releases were also accompanied by "brand new" RR AVON, RR CONWAY, and RR SPEY sound packs for the DMFS COMET's, VC10's/C1K's, and BAC ONE-ELEVEN's for the HJG hosted DMFS simulations .... each of which are "far superior" to Benoit's earlier audio productions for these simulations.

Some video testimonials for these "new" sound packs ....

RR AVON COMET III/IIIB/IV/IVB/IVC (2021 production)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPG0kkS9n4o

RR CONWAY VC10/C1K (2021 production)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q6kKYWB83s

RR SPEY TRIDENT (-1 SPEY 505 version .... 2021 production .... SPEY 511, 512, and 412 with Booster each now individually represented)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFvez1svyEQ

No BAC ONE-ELEVEN "new" audio production video, but, SPEY 506, 511, and 512 version audio for these simulations (2021 productions) is also now each represented.

Mark C , a belated thank you for this info ...been travelling in NZ !
Will start to look up the HJG site again .
In the real world , whether you liked them or hated them . Different tail liveries were operationally a real pain ......
In Milan airport ramp crew bus ... ''Ee no 'ere'' from driver .. 10 mins later looking out and beginning to pace ...''Eee still no ere''.
I insisted we drive out around the ramp and look ... There was a dodgy tail [ one we'd not seen before ]
..Driver ... '' Eee no BA '' !
Warsaw , f/o and myself walked down the pier to the circle at the end ... Not in yet , just an Air India looking tail ...
Sat around 'til the dispatcher hunted us up !
What did I put the delays down to , and what did I say to pax ?
ATC probably had it worse at LHR , '' follow BA '' , '' go in front of BA '' to foreign airlines .... Not understood at all with these odd tails . Countless minutes of delay caused .
