So far, I like this EuroFOX because it does not seem quite so eager to ground loop, I can fly an approach with the AoA indexer on speed, and it has a fairly simple cockpit with GPS available if I want it.

I flew a familiarization flight over most of the "The Emerald Milk Run" mission destinations (thank you for that BTW) yesterday and it handled well I think. I do have an Islander model but for now I'll use the EuroFOX. 😉

What I have done here is as follows: Each one was made up using the Thranda Dynamic Livery & then brought over to my hanger & I made some additional modifications. eg. on the Classic Models I added an additional stripe on the forward half of the fuselage, logo's & changed the wheel rims to accentuate the aircraft a little more and then made up a Fictitious Company and made up it's logo to go along with the aircraft & a different piece of art on each tail. The Modern version (Snowy Owl) just got a new set of rims, logo's & the company logo.

As for the art work, all five liveries have a different piece of art that was created by Robert Bateman and that can be seen in any of the bush or tundra of the North.

Got an intriguing problem here that maybe you can help me out with.

Since posting my newest livery, I have had two individuals contact me, "Joao Paz from The Alaskan Bush Flying Club & an Northernlites" that are experiencing the same phenomenon. See attached pics.

Below is a communique that I've sent to them.

"What version of FTLX's Cessna C170B are you using. My version that I created my livery with, was version 1.0.0. I've just become aware that there are two newer versions. They are v1.5.0 & v1.6.0. What caught my attention is that you mentioned a liveries folder that contained 6 other liveries. Version one (which I'm using) does not have that liveries folder at all. That's what originally made me put together this new livery in the first place to add some variety to a plane that was honourably mentioned in the section "Our Birds by Gerard Cuomo.

I'm going to contact "northernlites" because he just recently contacted me with the same problem, but his registration numbers are of a different colour.

I'm also going to contact FLTX Design to see if he can make hides or tails of this issue."

I believe we all need to work together on this problem to get it worked out.

Had just recently approached FLTX about adding some liveries & he said "go for it. I think some liveries will definitely add to the interest for this one." So, here is the 1st of a few more to come.

Pulled a few pics off of the internet and this one caught my eye right off the bat, so I added a few of the pics I found of her. C-SAGY Wheeler Airlines, St. Jovite, Quebec, which is near Mt Tremblay, a well known Ski Resort.

Anyway, have Fun, Enjoy & Stick That Landing.

Oh! by the way HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

As a way of thanking you for joining the Club and for all your great input so far, here's a small New Year gift for you - but also for all the wonderful X-Plane community.

I'm hoping that you have the VSkyLabs Maule, as this one is really a treat - this is the first one displaying.. let's say.. the Club's official colors :) (nevertheless I'll gladly do a freeware favorite of the Club's Members)

Hope you like it! Happy New Year!

Please note, that I have brought them over from XP11 to XP12 & in using Planemaker, made them compatible to XP12. They are very stable & work very well. See my postings in PIREP's

Go to the following web site: https://propstrikestudio.com/products/172-mod-workhorse & you can get the Propstrike Studio's Cessna C172 for free.

I have found that she is a very stable platform & is a lot of fun to fly.

Also for your info, I have brought her over to XP12 & converted her using Planemaker & she works really well, even on this platform.

Using Planemaker:

First Step - Open Planemaker & load the aircraft.acf (172SP BUSH) you wish to modify. A pop-up of an exploded view will appear of your aircraft in question.

Second Step - At top of screen click on Standard/Viewpoint then "Ext Lights". For the Landing & Taxi Lights, there is a little box with a green light partway across the page. Turn light off to "unhide" said lights.

Third Step - At the top of the screen click on Standard/Objects. Scroll 3/4 down the page until you find "glass_out_bush.obj in the far right box. Just to the left is another box. Change that to read "Outside_Rain_Glass"

Fourth Step - Hit CTRL+S simultaneously to save your work.

**Now, Don't forget, go back and repeat steps one thru 4 for the other .acf (172SP BUSHTW)

This is all I had to do to get her up and running in XP12.

For those who are more experienced with Planemaker, "Landing Gear Height" can be adjusted, "Payloads" can be modified & "COG" can be adjusted if need be. None of this was required for me at this time.

See examples below:

I'm going to list here the files on my hangar (X-Planee 12) and you guys fell free to add more below as you see fit.

(it was somewhere between my ages 7/11 that I had the chance to "fly", not the PA18 but the J3 - as I was riding the front seat and my uncle had the controls, on the back.. we had been flying together for a long time, usually every Sunday, but that one time was a truly special "I'm the king od the world!" moment!)
