We've actually already got a couple of container loads of new and updated textures for the DMFS flight line Ben ​.... and which are planned to be released per installments over coming weeks/months

Aharon, the reason some do not look crisp is that you have not read the readme files in the packages that David Maltby did. He has a little tool that is inside the aircraft folder that you click and it converts all the images to higher format and option to remove mips, its really simple and easy. Try it and you will see how good it is

Thanks for tip. That is very strange. I did not see that when I downloaded the Trident and Bac 1-11 packages for FSX years ago. Would this tool feature be available in the same aircraft packages offered by HJG and does HJG plan to write sticky explanation on how to use this special feature for anyone who is not programmer or skilled repainter?

Aharon, I am not sure if theses will be in the packs you will have to download them and check.

Plenty of new repaints available now at HJG.

I think it is typo because I do not understand your comment??

Anyway, I downloaded retro Braniff repaint called El Dorado hoping it will be very very crisp sharp enough for me to create beautiful screenshots.

For anyone who wants to use this Braniff retro repaint in most realistic manner, here is interesting info I got from official Braniff historians:

If any of you are curious to know how BAC 1-11 planes were delivered from England to any airline in America, here is fantastic example of how this plane was delivered to Braniff airline as seen below that any of you can recreate historic delivery flights using your flight sim platform.

Delivery Details:Ship N1543's Flight Log from Hurn, England, to Dallas Love Field for March 10 through March 13, is shown below:

Yep, the joys of auto correct when typing on my phone. Sorry about that. It should say:-

"Well done to all concerned"

I agree!!!

To Tony Madge one of the HJG administrators,

Happy 21th birthday to HJG!!! Many many many thanks to Tony Madge, Dan Kjeldstrom Hansen, Ben Hartmann, Michael Verlin, Jim Hornit Campisi, Eduardo Rocha, Eduardo Villanueva, Philip Foglar, and Paul Haak for their great painting contributions to HJG and its planes for past 21 years and many many many thanks to those same people mentioned above for honoring and accepting my repaint requests for past nine years.

Regards,

Aharon

Thanks Aharon for the post re HJG, sadly we have lost a few contributors over the years to the clouds above and others have moved on to other things but it is always good to remember those that gave others enjoyment from their work in HJG. Today HJG has a dedicated staff headed by Mark and Peter who does the website and continue to build on the repertoire that has become expected of HJG
