I already own the AH B-17F and to the best of my knowledge.. there's no CC paint for it and I have looked :lol:

I actually booted the 'F' out to a standby hangar just a few days ago (one of many retirements) in an attempt to get my 'Select aircraft' to speed up a bit. With what I've moved out.. I may have shaved a second or so off the load time 8) I've only flown the F twice. It's heavier on frames than the A2A model and textures take longer to load both inside and out. Wondered if some of the JF Canberra/Tornado crew had been involved with it :lol: I'll at that it was a sale item ;)

Here's the link to my RAF CC paint Paul: http://daveg.cbfsim.org/files/B17Coastal.zip

Regarding Sally B, I've got 3 paints for her, but none by myself. :lol: First is an old paint originally done for the pre-Accusim model which I combined with the newer paintkit (my usual ride). Second is a newer paint (I forget by who) but the nose art is too bright on that for my taste. Both have the same number of checkers on the cowling. Lastly, I've got an earlier Sally B scheme from the 80s with a yellow tail.

PTA. *-) It can look good, but there are an awful lot of settings to fiddle with and TBH, I can't be bothered. :lol:

Thanks for the CC repaint - it looked very nice indeed during a short flight from RAF Aldergrove westwards over Ulster. I'd post a picture but it looks like Imgur is playing up at the moment. 8) Regarding PTA, I know what you mean - having to reboot P3D after every tweek to see the result is going to be a PITA. I'll have a read through the Avsim PTA forum and see if there are any must-have tweeks, then leave it at that.

Thanks again for uploading the Coastal repaint - much appreciated. :thumbsup:

There we go, Imgur is co-operating at last. :)
