I havYou can't upload them e the files, how do I upload them?

Albert .... PM Tony to work out a supply to him .... and which he can then attend to himself and for "WALLY14".

My understanding of the file concerned is that's it's a texture for the standard L-1011 model we host (not a -500 model) .... that's dressed up to look like a -500 or in the first BWIA livery supported by the -500

Although I don't like bothering with "FAKE" subjects (if I can avoid them .... simply because I feel the time spent attending to them is better apportioned to something more legitimate) I'd, under normal circumstances, "maybe" suggest we host it (upon it being resupplied to us) within our "WHAT IF" section .... if it didn't have the "TRISTAR 500" titles across its #2 engine intake, but, to do so "in it's current form" it'd then be a "DOUBLE FAKE" since the textures 3D model requirement is that of the standard L-1011 we host (given there's no -500 model here .... yet) and by virtue of the fact BWIA never operated L-1011-1 through -250 series aircraft and which aren't -500's.

Again PM Tony .... Albert

Will do Mark. I remember somebody requested the livery back in 2016 and Tony kindly did it for them. It's just 3 bmp files stuck onto the standard Cantu/HJG offering, as you say,

Thank you very much gentleman. Really appreciate all your help with the BWIA textures.

Ok a kind member of the forum has messaged me and hopefully I will have them soon

[Tony Madge - HJG]

I did post the file here but its not opening, will get it sorted though and send it to Mark to publish

[wally114]

Thank you so much for getting the BWIA textures out. However when attempted to open it I get a "BWIA.zip is invalid" message and the file does not open. Hopefully it can be resent. Thanks again

I concurr with regard to the file error.


TA HELL WITH THIS ....


Tony .... send the bloody file "directly to me" please.

Although I'm "not keen" on FAKE/WHAT IF liveries (it's just time I spend administering them is better applied) I'll process it and it can then be added (hopefully soon .... along with a couple other files we need to replace also) to the "FANTASY LIVERIES" section of our downloads page and those interested can pick it up from there once announced.

I thought it was ok but upon checking again yes it is a faulty zip file, I have asked Albert to resend it to me and I will pass it on to Mark once I have it

[Tony Madge - HJG]

Ok I can now confirm I have the files again and all reworked so they look far better than when I did them many years ago! file sent to Mark who will sort out where they will be for downloading, thanks for your help Mark and Albert on this

[wally114]

That is great news!! Thanks again gentlemen for all your time and effort in getting out the BWIA textures. Looking forward to seeing them soon. Cheers!

I've received and processed the BWIA L-1011 texture file .... which isn't a -500, but rather, just an standard L-1011 supporting the original BWIA livery as applied to it's -500's. This texture's also now been "further enhanced" by Tony, so, it'll be "SUPERIOR" to the original compilation. I've made it an "L-1011-250" .... configuration-wise (base pack requirement) and which will give it the best payload/range capability, so, it should be capable of flying the virtual Trinidad & Tobago/New York route direct .... in fact it "might" even be trans-Atlantic capable from T&B too "if" one loads and flies it properly



In addition to the above "FANTASY" subject .... I've also activated Tony's other such L-1011 featuring the 2000 era HAWAIIAN AIRLINES livery too ("NO" .... HA's L-1011's never supported this variation of the airlines identity and had been replaced by DC-10's (which never supported it either) long before it was ever introduced) .... since it makes sense to do so. Configuration-wise (again base pack requirement) I've made this one an "L-1011-150" .... which should guarantee it slightly better payload/range capabilities than the other HA -1's and -50's we offer .... again "if" loaded and flown properly



PLEASE NOTE: We're "INCREDIBLY BUSY/VERY HEAVILY LOADED" behind the scenes here at the moment .... organizing the release of our next 146X files. Given we've had to fix the BWIA file I'm not sure how quickly we're going to be able upload these 2 (when we do it won't be per forum attachments .... not after our last 2 security scares ("False Positives" though these were) of a little while back) .... nor am I comfortable pressuring my Admin/Management colleague to get these files uploaded sooner than he comfortably can either, so, I simply appeal for the "patience" of those whom are interested .... and all going well we should have textures uploaded soon .... at least some between now and next Christmas

Now I want to get back to the virtual real world .... and "STAY THERE"
