VIA F9

Thanks for the tips guys, I might give those a try. Also, does anyone know where the texture for the pilot is?

Britkits pilot is on the right, just above the fuel tank side patch. You have to load the finished .tgpcdx into the textures directory of the fittings folder as well to see some of the changes.

I have some modified Britkits bogey side plate textures, all photo conversions save one. They are: badly rusted, silver, somewhat weathered, and black. If you want them, let me know via PM and I'll send them to you...

Mike you are still alive! Good news.

Still looking for the VIA. Is there a problem one of us can help out with?

I'm just waiting to hear back from Dick. E-mailed him a couple times about a month ago, but haven't heard anything back yet. I believe his website states that permission is required before uploading repaints of his models. Although, maybe silence equals consent....hmmm. In the meantime I'm just going to touch up a few things, like the bogey and pilot textures.

He generally never has a problem and he really likes it if it requires one of his payware sets. . Just make sure you omit the GeoPcDx files from the engine folder.

Good to know buzz. I spent some time today getting these sorted out and I think they're good to go. There are three F9s; one with the VIA nose logo, one without and one thats more heavily weathered. Each unit has been given a series of road numbers that should be kinda sorta historically accurate. Thanks to MadMike for the bogey textures. Here they are, if someone would like to test them to make sure I didn't overlook anything, send me a pm.

They are beautiful.
I'm 10 years old again.
Or maybe 13, sneaking in the unguarded yard at night and into the cab of the idling engine, sitting in the engineer's seat.

[buzz456]

very nice.

Uploaded. I've also been working on a B unit to go with them that I can hopefully upload sometime in the not too distant future.
