SibWings FSX Saab Safir Released

:wiggle: Yes I do Like shiny:jump:

safir-4.jpg
 
I'm really fond of the FTX scenery for Australia, which is best enjoyed low and slow..what better aircraft to do this with than the Safir??
All that was missing was an Australian Safir, to give it a feeling of authenticity. So....here are my first shots of VH-BQK (former SE-BYZ) more or less as she looked in the '50's. What do you think?
The third shot was made using a new exterior viewpoint I made for the Safir. I like this view when flying really low..
I've also upgraded my ZU-DES repaint to 2048 textures, so that I can at last see some of the details that I put in the first time. If anybody likes it, I can upload that as well.
 
See at their forum they will be fixing this issue _ _ _ _ makes it almost unflyable with a crash of the sim...Love your paint Jankees the update for this paint would be great... got all your paints loaded the sim just crashs every time I change to a different paint :banghead::costumes:
 
Here's my new viewpoint:

[CameraDefinition.0]
Title = "Left Wing Root"
Guid = {59181B43-9231-4fb0-8FF7-FB4318532141}
Description = View from the left wing tip looking at the cockpit
Origin = Center
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = FALSE
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = FALSE
Track = None
ShowAxis = FALSE
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.5
ShowWeather = Yes
InitialXyz = -2.0, 0.3, -4.0
InitialPbh = 5, 0, 7
XyzAdjust = TRUE
Category=Aircraft
MomentumEffect = True
ClipMode=Minimum

edit: let me know what you think, do you want the other textures in 2048 too, or do you say don't bother...
I did it for the Safir as it has just two texture files, I tried it with the B-24, but with 9 files...well, you can imagine..

and these are uploaded:

to quote Alex over at their support forum about the crashes some people have:

"problem fixed.
Please wait FSX Safir update."

:jump:
 
Yeah buddy, I just sent them a email for the update...my email address has changed to Cox so I gotta wait for the update. She was sweet to fly in FS9 so me is looking forward to flying her in FSX.
 
I can personally vouch that the update WILL WORK PERFECTLY !! :jump:

I couldn't even get the model to show up, nothing but a system crash !

Now everything is fine !! One of the most amazing and innovative models i certainly have in FSX !! :applause::applause::applause:

Update is just around corner !!

Jan

Javis, coming from you...money in the bank:applause: Thanks for the reply :ernae:
 
By the way,,,Do they send it to me?

or is there a place to get it?

or do I request it?

Sorry, :kilroy: just not sure :costumes:
 
I've upgraded my Air France Safir repaints to 2048x2048 too. Is anybody interested in those, or do you think the difference is not worth it?
I now suffer from the CTD bug too...grrr. However, if I end the flight and then change, no problem. No update yet?
 
Because of the crashing...I haven't even been flyin this beauty:banghead:, and have not added repaints but I'm looking forward to all of them Jankees:kilroy::applause::ernae:
