AeroSoft Dehavilland DHC6 Twin Otter MAF P2-MFT by Thierry Lustremant

Version: 
Microsoft flight simulator X

Browsing the internet, I recently discovered a ready-to-download addon texture of a MAF DHC6 Twin Otter. It is only flyable with the payware Aerosoft Twin Otter X, but owners of this plane will be happy and... who knows, there can always come a repaint for a freeware DHC6 in the future ofcourse. For now this is the first DHC6 MAF skin.

MAF Australia VH-NTC repaint for default FSX C208B

Working on the FS2004 textures for the Gippsland GA8 Airvan, I ran into pictures of a Cessna C208B from MAF Australia. In the previous release due to the incomplete photo's, I did not have the complete registrationnumber. In the meantime MAF at Gove airport has been so kind to mail the complete registrationnumber to me: VH-NTC.

They also confirmed this plane in not in service anymore, so...

Two more GA8 MAF repaints

Browsing the website-department www.maf.org.au, I discovered there are more Airvans that look about the same as the two published earlier this week, except they bear a different registration and - in the case of the RMG - one is registrated in Papua New Guinea, instead of Australia.

Another thing I discovered on those pictures is the registrationnumber being reflected on the downside of the left wing too.

MAF textures for freeware Gippsland GA8 Airvan

FS2004 pilots had to wait for a long time. Now finally their waiting is over. Accoording to the author of the plane himself, the plane possibly works in FS2002 too.

Here are MAF Australia textures for the freeware Gippsland Airvan made by the ultimate FS aircraft builder Tim Conrad. The planes that are depicted are the Gippsland GA8 Airvans VH-SPG and VH-MFX.

Textures for FS2004 default Cessna 208B with floats

Daniel Wanvig, our pioneer on MAF paintings for default aircraft, has created a second piece of art. As a matter of fact several weeks ago allready, he sent me this repaint for the default FS2004 Cessna 208B Caravan on floats. There is a freeware FSX conversion of this plane, available on the bigger flightsim sites, so FSX users, rejoice too.

Because of the diiferent handling of aircraft id numbers in FS2004 and FSX, Daniël purposely decided to leave out the registration number.

Here it is: the first MAF default Cessna 208B texture

We have a new pionier person in Daniel Wanvig. He may call himself the first one that created a MAF texture for one of the default FSX planes and ofcourse - for MAF - the one he chose, is the one it should be: the Cessna 208B Caravan. Daniel did only a few repaints untill nu, but regarding his enthousiasm, it,is not unlikely we will see more of his hand...

Here they are: The first real MAF repaints !

Joost Schlebaum created two MAF repaints for the Carenado Cessna 206 Stationair with cargopod. Thanks for the beautifull work, Joost and for your patience untill this moment of actually making them available.

First repaint depicts the Cessna U206G Stationair 5X-MSP, operating in Kajjansi, Kampala, Uganda. Take a look at the beautiful picture of it, taken by Peter Fitzmaurice, here.

The second repaint is the MAF Cessna 206 Turbo serving in Papua, Indonesia.

Coming soon: MAf textures for Carenado Cessna 206

Joost Schlebaum is a professional artist draughtsman who is creating MAf textures. The first three will be textures for Carenado's Cessna 206, the at this moment most used plane in MAF service. To get a taste of the artwork, Joost send me two screenshots and it is looking very promising. Check MAFsim.com the coming days for these beautifull new paintings. Joost is planning to do more MAF textures for other planes, for instance textures for the FSX default Cessna Caravan.

MAF landing and take off movies

As a flightsim hobbyist, if there is one thing that attracts me in the work of MAF, it is ofcourse the challenge of landing and taking of on rough terrain, small airstrips and between huge mountainwalls. Take a look at these videos and let challenge your flightsim skills by these professional pilots.

An idea for FSX Mission devellopers...

Version: 
Microsoft flight simulator X
Difficulty: 
1/10

Here's a nice reality base for a great FSX mission. Searching for online movies about the work of MAF pilots, I found this video, providing a good and executable idea. I have no experience with creating FSX missions, but since FSX has a default mission that resembles this action very much, I guess this would be a piece of cake for the develloper. Curious? Take a look for yourselve... (Source will be evident...)
