Return of the...

[EHM-1001]

Hi mates,

Robert Szikszo here. After about 10 years of absence I am planning to return to flight simming and also to the community. But is is so hard.

First of all, I was waiting for 2 years so the chip prices were low enough. Finally I could build recently a tough Ryzen system, which can run smooth the long waitied MSFS 2020. But I am not satisfied In the good old days with FS2004 and FSX we had a ton of freeware stuff. We could fly almost free to anywhere. We could choose any good aircrafts. Freeware stuff was very good quality at the level of the sim capacity. Some were even better than the sim itself. Also there were a lot of paywere planes and scenery, and I could choose a few at my own taste. But now, I cannot find any good freeware stuff. The sim quality level became so high, it is understandable that noone wants to put hundreds of development hours to not get paid for it. 20€ for this plane 30€ for that airport... as I see it became a very very expensive hobby. I cannot really imagine how can you fly the 40 different EHM aircraft in the new world. OR do you still use FSX or FS2004?

So what is the situation now at EHM? Cheers all!

Hello guys!

I know quite late but I am slowly getting deeper and deeper into MSFS 2020. Since I have prepared almost all of the current fleet repaints I was interested in creating again repaints in MSFS 2020. Everything has changed: the technology, the quality, and unfortunately I lost my base materials, in recent years. But anyway I have to recreate everything from scratch because the texture quality increased significantly so the old graphics would look awfully on these shiny new planes. So I started with basic things, like the EuroHarmony name and logo. There is not a clear hires version remained from it, so I started from scratch. Here is my first attempt as attachement. I am going slowly, but the big plan is to make the A320neo and the B747-8I (available free models) repaint in EuroHarmony colours.

Currently I do not own any of other payware aircraft so I cannot promise surely more repaints. But who knows

Best regards,
Robert

Hi Robert, long time no see, yes I agree, the   move to  MS2020 is expensive if you want to fly a variety of  planes,  l have invested a lot in fsx money and time wise, so the prospect of spending again to build up the new hanger for me would be step too far at the moment , l know fsx  and fs9 are way out of date, but there is still plenty of payware and freeware still out there, to make it worth while still using them  , nice to here from you again,   regards Bruce EHM2131

       Welcome back Robert.   I think we are all looking forward to seeing EHM liveried aircraft back in the air. I hope your enthusiasm and effort come to fruition mate.
       We have been lacking a Painter for quite some time.
       Cheers Trevor

Thank you guys the kind words.

I have to learn some more tricks, because painting is now half Photoshop/half Blender job What should be linear in reality... sometimes tilted/curved on the texture. In the good old days textures were easier to edit.

The A320 is slowly taking shape on the painting board:

Best regards, Robert

    Looking good Robert, very impressive.

[EHM-1001]

Well, this is going to be better and better. There is still some work around the tail stripes.

And finally... Microsoft released a whole new A320 as V2 I can do it all again from scratch.

            WE can look forward to the end product, hope they don't put anymore hurdles in your way.

Hi folks,

I think it is ready. The paintkit is not the best one so the stripes are not crystal clear "linear" curves, but that is it. Where could I post it so everyone can download, who wants to try it?

Regards, Robert

Hi Robert,
welcome back!

I know I am late to respond; had a lot to arrange before I could go on holida the last two weeks
But now I'm back from holidays, so I can have a try at making your new livery available for download by all member pilots through the website. Not sure if I can manage that (haven't done it before, so I think I can do it), but as a plan B I can always pass it on to Murray.
Please mail it as a single zip file to ehm.operations@gmail.com, as that mail adress will get my attention sooner than the contact link through the website.

Hello,

Thanks for your really beatiful A320-EHM Robert, I really like to try, because I just installed fs2020 and hope to fly with this beauty. Any news Jan, because don't see the airplane in EHM website?

Thanks again and see you in the sky...

   Hi folks Hope your all well.  Just a thought. Would Uploading PH-ROB to " Flightsim.to " be feasible? 
   Obviously the Flightsim.to  rules have to be adhered to.

[EHM-1001]

Hi Folks,

As Trevor advised I uploaded the livery to Flightsim.to. This is really only a prototype work for FS2020 when we think the v2 aircraft is just released some weeks ago Anyway, if you can, try out the livery and tell me your comments. I hope I can make more repaints soon. As you know, the 747 is my all time favourite so you can expect that next.

    Hi Robert. I made a extended circuit of EGLL last night. the Paint job looks great, thanks a lot.
                    Now not to ask for too much too soon Would you possibly add your paint job to the FlyByWire A32NX also available on Flightsim.to
                    I find that the FlyByWire A32NX is advanced and appears with its own installer, and has a flight pad.

Thanks a lot Robert, looks very good, not possible to install in v2 or in Fenix... Thanks anyway
