EuroHoliday - the most ignored division?

[EHM-1689 Lukasz]

Hi,

yesterday I did a small comparision of our fleet divisions in order to:

1) no. of payware aircraft liveries:

- Main Division    8
- Cargo               2
- Business          1
- Holiday             0

2) new corporate livery availability:

- Main Division   yes (since December 2006 )
- Cargo              yes (since June 2007)
- Business          no  (expected - summer 2007)
- Holiday            no  (expected - autumn 2007)

Well, just wondering - why EuroHoliday's fleet is so...ignored?

Regards,
Lukasz

I can't go into details Lukasz, but we have a thread in the MT forum called "The Great Payware Debate" that lists just about every single payware aircraft it would be possible for us to support and there's a lot of them (either available already, or due in the near future).

The current stumbling block is time - repainting takes time (especially if the aircraft doesn't have a dedicated paintkit) and up to now we've really only had one person responsible for the designing and repainting of the entire fleet.

I'm sure there will be public discussion about this soon...

Lukasz,

As Murray has said, there are many plans in place for all of our Divisions this year, have a look here for fuller details

Don't worry, each Division will have its own time in the spotlight this year !

Hi Lukasz !

Do not worry, EuroHolidays is not ignored Let me give some answers to your questions:

1. EHM Main division have 3 times more models than the "sub" Divisions, which means more available payware models. Thats simple statistics

For EuroHolidays, we have 8 separate paywares available, and 2 are expected releases. We have selected 1 for each model that is nice enough to add a EHM livery, or popular enough. When we have painted 1 for each models, the others on the list are expectable to be painted too.



2. The order of Division repainting is simple technical. After releasing the Main Division, we are releasing Divisions 1 by 1. As 2 years ago, Gergely (our former president) painted the EuroHolidays fleet, I do not have the paintkits for those planes, and started to paint those planes that I had paintkit for. Not to mention, that the fleet releasing process is not all about repainting : we tune the dynamics 1 by 1 and prepare the planes for a proper panel, also renew the website sections. That is together a lot work, and requires time. I have some 6 planes already repainted, but cannot release it before the whole process is finished

And finally.

Janos, our new Fleet Assistant got the task of repainting planes. This means we can share our time and talent, which means faster releases, and meanwhile we can fill in the gaps in the payware area. Last month we released 4 paywares thanx to Janos. Meanwhile, the Flight1 ATR was done, and he started work on the CaptainSim 757, being the 1st payware repaint of the EuroHolidays fleet.

Thanx for patience

Guys!

Many, many thanks for this info (and for your time of course)!

I'm...errr...I was just worried, but now everything is clear.

Maybe it's silly question, but...where can I get the EuroHolidays repaint for Overland or PerfectFlight MD-11? Just from avsim or flightsim?

Once more - thanks!

I think that's the answer...you just have to wait for all Euroholidays aircrafts to be painted (plus .cfg files), and the online page to be updated
I'm so looking foward to fly the new Md-11! :8

Great to see the Captain Sim will be supported by the airline - really looking forward to flying it officially!

Thanks for your time Robert

Okay, maybe the chart was not clear completely

The X simply means that the aircraft model is Available ro buy. The green background for the type means, it has payware versions, while the box means it is released in EHM colors. Therefore there is not any EHM livery for Overland products yet.

To be honest, I could not find the Overland product as a downloadable pack. It has many liveries on AVSIM and other free sites, but it seems, the product is not available anymore :s

Robert, are you sure? What about with this: http://www.overland.co.jp/japaneseairports/special.html

[EHM-1001 Robert]

OK, that is MD-11 And the others ?

Well, as we have MD-11 we don't need the others any more

Just picking up the bones, and I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, but has everyone had a look at the screenshots on the AirlinerXP website of their A320 project...

Alls I can say is holy bejesus...

They have movies too, but my Linux desktop at work doesn't do video (don't need it, why install it - LEARN MICROSOFT!!!)

Pfft. Unimpressed, Murray

The CS 757 is definitely of the same quality... if not better!:)

If only they would get the FMC sorted on the CS757!
