DeeKnow's Flight Simulator repaints
Here's a bunch of repaints and panels I've created over the last couple of years for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Some of these are for FS9/2004, some for FSX, and some will work on both, it all depends on the aircraft model they're for. The first group are paints of actual flyable models, the second are of AI aircraft that are used to populate the skies with computer controlled aircraft.

N800DT : Cessna CitationICessna CitationJet 1 N800DT as operated by National Business Review (based at Ardmore). The model is actually a Citation-II by Dee Waldron so I blanked out one of the windows, the tail section is different but close as we can get without a Citation-I base model (filename: paintkit_cessna_citation_ii.zip). |
 |
ZK-TBM : Cessna Citation-IIICessna CitationJet 3 ZK-TBM as operated by Air National (based in Auckland). The model is actually a Citation-II by Dee Waldron so I added an extra window, the tail section is different but close as we can get without a Citation-III base model (filename: paintkit_cessna_citation_ii.zip). |
 |
ZK-HZQ : Bell 222This is my first attempt at doing a repaint of a real-world aircraft for the flightsim. The chopper is a Bell 222 as flown by the service based at our local Waikato Hospital (and flown by a cobber of my Father). The repaint was done w PhotoshopEssentials and is a bit rough round the edges mostly due to my inexperience but also coz some of the texture file components are replicated over the model in places which means I couldn't quite get some of the details right. It was a fun experience and the actual sim model by Alan Devin is nice to fly. |
AI Aircraft
These are AI only aircraft and require flight plan files to be used in the simulator. They dont include sound files or panels and wont generally appear in the list of flyable aircraft in your sim. These were painted for the NZ AI BizJets project
