Classic British Flight Sim

I'd have to agree Garry. Also rather a shame that BSAA didn't last long enough to develop its own iconic livery. Having read 'Master Airman', the biography of Don Bennett a while back, the history of BSAA is fascinating stuff.

Anyway, this is another repaint which I though may be of interest if there are any A2A Cherokee flyers lurking here. It's a paint scheme once worn by G-AVSF (she's got a spangly new paint job now). I think part of the appeal for me was that it's reminiscent of the dashing 'raspberry ripple' livery worn by the RAE/ETPS. Lots of nice pics of raspberry rippled aircraft over at this link by the way. (See - I'm trying to keep this vaguely on topic! )



A few other pics and a download link over at this thread on the A2A forum.

Cheers,
Nick

Very nice Nick

Beautifully sharp with those lines...first class

Indeed.. a fine paint You're not gonna make me go out and buy the b100dy Cherokee are you?

Thanks gents! You know Dave, without wishing to sound like an A2A salesman, It's been a while since an FS add-on has given me this much fun! It sure is an atmospheric little beast, and definitely not to be compared with Carenado offerings. When I first saw preview shots of the Cherokee, to be honest, I wasn't that excited. However, it's just crept its way in under my skin (and not in a bad way like a fungal infection! )

If PA-28 variants just 'aren't your thing', I'll admit it's not exactly the cheapest of add-ons! I seem to be following an oddly backward path in my flight simming: I think my first payware add-on was the original PSS 777 (probably over a decade ago) and I've finally graduated to... a 1960s Cherokee!

Now - seeing as this is a repaint thread, would this alluring 'baby poo brown' panel mod be enough to push you over the edge?



Okay - maybe not!

Best wishes,
Nick

Yes.. it's typically 'of it's day' isn't it. Not the most endearing colour but if you only look at the instruments, it's not so bad

I did check out the price and found $39 rather too steep for casual use. The majority (if not all) of my Carenado models were bought either at a discount from them or in a sale from other vendors so their 'lack of use' is less painful.. even though I have a lot of em! Your BOAC/BEA paint prompted me to go and find a 'G' reg for the Archer which now sits nicely with the 'one' I have for the Skymaster and 'one' for the C185F. Whenever I fly the F33A or V35B, it's always with the 'blank' texture (boring) and I can't remember the last time I flew the C90! Folk are repainting for models I don't have which is downright bad planning

I think it looks great. GA stuff isn't my bag, but the 14 hours I did do where in G-BGKS, G-SEJW and G-BUMP and I loved every minute of it
