SVA 727s and tail color corrections for my TR L-1011 and NAAI 707 just were uploaded to AVSIM, available sometime today. I'll do some research on the A306, I want to update my original package to FSX/P3D standard anyways.

Saudia had the A300b4-600 non R version delivered to them in the 1980s. These were HZ-AJA to HZ-AJK. And they didn't have the characteristic wing tip fences. The model Noob is referring to are those lsd in from Onur Air from 2000 onwards, and thus, they had the tan scheme introduced in 1996 only. Any A300 SV lsd in the 1980s had no wing tip fences. m.planespotters.net/airline/Saudi-Arabian-Airlines/historicFleetKind regards.

The 727s have HC- registrations instead of HZ-. Nevertheless fine work.

Actually I think I was referring to the 620 non R models. I didn't even know there were -600s that weren't models with the characteristic wing fences. Were there any other outward appearance differences with the -600 other than the later wing fences?

Ah yes, and one more thing, do you plan on uploading those files you said you'd be uploading back in 2015 that didn't for whatever reason?

The Austrian DC-9s he planned to upload were something I looked for, he also had a Philippines 747 pack he was planning to upload, but neither of them are available.

One thing at a time...... everybody take a breath....lol 727s with the HC registration, that will be fixed, sorry L-1049s and L-1649s, forthcoming by the end of November, but only in FS9-P3Dv3 format (still fiddling around with FSX-native stuff). It took me six years to figure out how to design FS9 models, so give it time, lol. It is my sincere wish that these will be the last FS9-native models I release. Unreleased PAL and AUA, I will go back and research, but at any rate, I will probably just re-do them with newer models (AIG DC9 and FAIB 747). Release schedule for today, already uploaded: DC-6B Air Gabon, JMAI model DC-6B/BF Ethiopian Airlines (3 variants), JMAI model DC-3/C-47 Ethiopian Airlines (6 variants), SBAI model On Deck, to be released this weekend: Iran Air 747-100/200/SP (FAIB) 1976-2000 paints, lots of variants (4x 74L, 1x 741, 2x 742 serials). Three distinct liveries in play, pre-revolution cheatline, post-revolution cheatline, and white-over-grey (before Juergen's all-white final repaints). I'm not doing the IRIAF hybrids in this package, they will be separate. I wonder if I could con Erez into doing the tanker and Air Force One variants..... Air Burundi Caravelle III (CPAI) and DC-3 (SBAI), DC-3 plans are available, but I will do representative FP for the Caravelle. Repair of that unspeakable HC- error on the Saudi 727s, those weren't the only ones I did that to, but those are the only ones I forgot to correct, my bad. More later.

Heh, gotta remember that 727's from Saudi Arabia, not Ecuador, Mikey. Can't wait to see those updated Iran Air 747s though, those'll definitely be pretty but not too common a sight.

I figured out where I picked up the error, the texture paint kit I copied to do the SVA paint was for a previous TAME (Ecuador) paint, so I believe that explains it. The update was just uploaded to AVSIM and should post in a few hours.

Oh, BTW, the A306s (non-R model) that SVA used are represented by the PW Mothra model from TFS, and eventually became KAL's first A306s. Not sure what Mothra means other than the 1950s Japanese movie monster, but that's the model at any rate. The SVA process continues.

Huh. I always wondered what that "mothra" model was for. The more you know.

Just uploaded FAIB GFA 747-200s and IRA 747SPs, and something more modern, my first FAIB 767 paint, a 767-200 for AZW, who is trading up this year for a 777, so this paint is just slightly retro. IRA 747-100/200 are forthcoming, plus some other things. I am paying attention to some of the obscure Africa flightplans available here, and am trying to fill in some of the gaps. More on that after I release some more stuff this week.

Okay, here's what's coming later this week, this should fill in some of the southern African continent with corresponding flightplans already on this forum: Air Burundi (Caravelle III, DC-3) Air Botswana (DC-3, HS748) United Airways (HS748, Viscount 700) Comair Limited (C-47 x4 variants) Transkei Airways (HS748) Bop Air (HS748) Lesotho Airways (DHC-6 x2 variants, F-27 x2 variants, Do-228, 707-320C, HS748 United Airways hybrid) Air Niger (C-47, DC-6B) Air Tanzania (707-331, uses DWAI 707-420 model), color-matched to the rest of the fleet available here Pretty much all of this is painted, but it takes nearly as much time to package for upload as it does to paint some of these, so all will be available by the weekend. Plus, some of the other aforementioned stuff, IRA, SVA, and maybe another surprise. The PBU Caravelle really needs an FP, I have something very inaccurate set up in my sim, but this is a 950nm-range airliner that flew regularly to LFPB/LFPO back in the day, so I am interested to see where it had to stop for gas along that route (at least a two-day round-trip route, one would assume). If anybody has good FP for this aircaft, please post them here and on the interim FP thread, thanks.
