New Silhouettes

Quote from: RodBearden on December 15, 2010, 09:13:14 PMHere's a zip with 23 "silhouettes" including the ones posted here since the previous zip, plus a few extras including the sample here.

Hi Rod,

this morning I downloaded and installed all this silhouettes for the first time. The result was a verry beautifull-looking "Silhouette-column" on my screen!

Thank you and all others who are working on this and keep up this good work please!

Thanks, Hans. There's a zip with 450 of my silhouettes on my new downloads page here http://rodb.gofreeserve.com/RadarBox/Downloads.htm

Ingo - sorry, I did a Wrong Code instead of a Test silhouette - now changed - and here's a C414.

Thank you a lot for the C414 and if you have some time it would be great to have one for a Aero Commander 680FL AC6L (http://www.planepictures.net/netsearch4.cgi?stype=reg&srng=1&srch=D-IABB)

EDIT:
Just a thought: Due to the quite huge amount of Tactical (TACT) entries for the German Air Force CL's it might be a considerable idea to make a TACT Silhouette like you already did for the TEST entry.

Here's an AC6L.

I've just updated my Downloads page so that you can download the standard RadarBox silhouettes or my photo-style ones (or both) - I have AirNav's permission do do this.

Thank you Alan and Rod for your help...
Eveything is o.k. now :)

Hi Rod, because I got one at the moment, I want to place a request for a ROBIN HR-200 HR20. If you could be so kind...

EDIT: Just got another without a Silhouette: Xtreamair XA42 Sbach 342 (XA42)

RodBearden · January 09, 2011, 02:27:10 PM

Here you are, Ingo:

HR20, XA42 (never even heard of this before) and an extra one, VEZE

Rod

PS I haven't forgotten the TACT one - working on it...

Neither did I -until I got them in my list. ;-) Further I didn't expect that they have an ICAO Identifier, but according to DOC8643 they do...

No need to hurry...

Just got another without a Photo Silhouette:

Navion G-1 Rangemaster (RANG) (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled/Navion%20Rangemaster%20G-1/0319432/L/&width=1024&height=745&photo_nr=&sid=&set_photo_album=hide)

RodBearden · January 09, 2011, 03:22:05 PM

There's something very pleasing about the shape of Rangmasters:

RANG and another : E400

Thank you Rod!

Looking at the TACTICAL question, the updaters have decided that the word TACTICAL should be in the registration, with the aircraft type blank.

Most of these are allocated to particular aircraft types, apparently, such as CL60 or F15, so surely it would be better to show the aircraft type as a silhouette rather than a generic Tactical silhouette.

I've amended my database to show the aircraft type with the appropriate aircraft code, and I'll rely on the TACTICAL "registration". I'll see how that works out.

So do we need, or do people really want, a "tactical" silhouette?
