Steve,

There is always /A !

I'm actually quite enjoying that, back to the basics and keeps you busy again. A handy skill to retain, until 2020 when they pull the VORs.

Andrzej,

Here are a couple of links for aircraft ICAO cods for you to bookmark:

http://www.icao.int/publications/DOC864 ... earch.aspx

http://www.flugzeuginfo.net/table_accodes_en.php

I have another site bookmarked on my flight computer. I'll add that link later, but these two should get you going.

Thank you , Steve,

Do not forget the link Keith posted, it is on the PE site http://www.pilotedge.net/pages/connect-xplane

Lol,lol just realized that it is the same link you posted, sorry.

Looking for the paint schemes, I am so excited... this plane is the best so far I have flown using X-Plane.

Did you paint yours?

Where do I look for paint schemes, went to flightaware and it stopped responding after several pages ... arrrgh.

Orest,

I agree flying /A is a blast! It can be challenging at times, but it really is rewarding when you get to your destination that way.

Here are some more screenshots of my N6MY Beechcraft V35B. I still have some minor tweaking to do, but she's allllllllmost done! I've tried to fly SBA to PSP 3 times and I keep crashing to desktop around the DARTS waypoint. Finally got a good message in my log.txt indicating a problem with my apt.dat so I have installed the latest version from Robin Peel and I'll give it a go again tonight. I hate CTD while flying PilotEdge. Sorry for the disappearing act this morning!









and the panel:

I find my paint schemes on the following sites:

http://www.flightaware.com

http://www.aso.com/ This is an aircraft sales site.

I also google the model number looking for pictures of planes for sale primarily.

Thank you again, Steve. BTW, I bought V33A , not v-tail version but I love it. Can't wait for the weekend and flight from ZOA.

Andrzej,

You mean the F33A. I have all of the Carenado's for X-Plane and my favorites are the Beechcraft. (Although the Cessnas are pretty sweet, too) Both the F33A and the V35B are awesome! They have very similar flight characteristics, but I believe the F33A is a bit faster.

Here's a shot of the F33A I liked and a screenshot of the paint I did:

Steve,yes, I mean F33A with BE33 ICAO code.

I like the trim but I would just change the colors. If you send me the gimp or photoshop file that would be the best but I can probably work with png also.

In case you forgot, my e-mail is arb65912@gmail.com

Man, you got me going, Steve...

The F33A paint still needs a little tweaking, too, but it's pretty much done. What colors do you want? And what tail number do you want to use?

I would like top - white as it is, red replaced with metallic blue and bottom yellow replaced with maybe black but I am not sure, would have to see.
Tail number N2067Q
