Hey Davec,
Thanks for the repaint 😉
One problem though....my PC decided to shut down as the download started and now all I get when I click the link to download the file is a blank screen. Do I only get one oppotunity to retreive the file??
Thanks 😉
Thanks for the repaint DaveC.
I haven't downloaded yet as I'm at work. But the first thing I'll when I get in is try it out.
RadarMan.
Sorry I stole the tail number. If I knew you where a star trek fan, I would have choosen something else. But as it was first come first serve

Sorry if I have stolen your idea - can't recall seeing a previous post suggesting a Flying Club - might have been a telepathic implant 🙄
I am not in the habit of stealing other peoples' ideas without giving due credit.
If I had known, I would have stamped all the Flying Club Spartans with - "From an idea of Steve T" 😉

Very useful link - if I ever got time to fly the thing, I'd certainly read all the gen 😉
Have another idea in the pipeline - for the heavy metal lovers.
Cheers my friend.

Reading the first page written by DaveC would be a good start.
What Should I Search For In The File Library

Would you care to read the instructions again and follow them explicitly - it would appear that you are the first to have problems with it - I have neither the time or the inclination to query applications - it distracts me from repainting.

I Know It Is At avsim.com its just where you find it on there

Is That Ok Now
If you still haven't found the Spartan from Avsim then this is the direct link:
http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=80142
Save it to My Documents when the box appears and then install it into FS9 - DaveC will get around to your repaint when he has the time.
Thanks a lot Mate
Oh My God Now I cant Move it to My documents
Where did you save it then?
oakley26 wrote:

Yes, I can see that you read the instructions thoroughly - one of the the conditions is that you must have the a/c installed on your system and you don't meet that condition.
Will you let me know when you have the Spartan installed on your system and then I will do the repaint, otherwise it would be a waste of repainting time which may be fun to you but it is very frustrating for me.
I realise that you are just learning about FS9 and I would like to help more but I am sure that 99JoLegg and others will advise you - I just don't have the time.
What i mean is it doesnt show what you want to do with it like save it or open it it just shows me a window of all the stuff there is and what happend is that happend opened up my documents and tried to cut and paste it but i couldent so thats the prob NOT HAPPY
Im Not Giving Up Yet
Do you have an account over at www.avsim.com ?
If you don't then go to this link:
...and click the first of the three links just above the boxes to type your username and password - named "If you don't have an account, please click here to register". You can then register and follow the instructions it gives you.
If you do have an account at www.avsim.com then go to this link:
http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=80142
...where a box will appear asking if you want to Open, Save or Cancel. Click Save. Then you will need to choose a place to put the file once it has been downloaded. Click the arrow at the top left hand corner and a box will drop down - choose Desktop and the file will appear on your Desktop.
Extract the file there and copy and paste the Spartan aircarft file into your FS9 aircraft folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft) and copy and paste the gauges files from your downloaded Spartan to your FS9 Gauges folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges) and then open your FS9 sim and see if the Spartan is in your aircraft folder.
Once you have done ALL of that (read it all carefully first, and the conditions written by DaveC in his first post) then come back and you'll have your repaint done.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh It IS NOT WORKING LIKE I SAID EARLIER
I will try restarting my PC
What part isn't working?
Dont know
I'll explain again. The steps are numbered. Go through each step as I have written and then tell me which step it is you are getting stuck at.
1) Go to this link:
...and click the first of the three links just above the boxes to type your username and password - named "If you don't have an account, please click here to register". You can then register and follow the instructions it gives you.
2) Once you have an account and have signed in go here:
http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=80142
...where a box will appear asking if you want to Open, Save or Cancel. Click Save. Then you will need to choose a place to put the file once it has been downloaded. Click the arrow at the top left hand corner and a box will drop down - choose Desktop and the file will appear on your Desktop.
3) Extract the file there and copy and paste the Spartan aircarft file into your FS9 aircraft folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft) and copy and paste the gauges files from your downloaded Spartan to your FS9 Gauges folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges) and then open your FS9 sim and see if the Spartan is in your aircraft folder.
you said that when you start downloading it will say save or open well my PC , when i start downloading somthing it doesnt say save or open It automaticly opens it . its ok on this site when downloading things onwww.avsim.com or www.simaviaton.com it Opens the thing that you download automaticly.
Im Only Saying This ONE MORE TIME
you said that when you start downloading it will say save or open well my PC , when i start downloading somthing it doesnt say save or open It automaticly opens it . its ok on this site when downloading things onwww.avsim.com or www.simviaton.com it Opens the thing that you download automaticly.
First things first, drop the sarcasm.
Secondly, you'd get an accurate response if you explained yourself fully the first time. When you say "it automatically opens it" what do you mean? It already has the files for the Spartan there? In which case, what is the problem if you have the files on front of you?
Do you get this screen...
...when you click on the Spartan link? (Click on it)
I am A Registered Person and when im looking for files i dont get that pic
Ok I don't know whats going on then if you are registered and the files are opening in front of you.
I'll try uploading it somewhere else for you.
OH HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS:
I start downloading, theres no save or open button what it does The computer opens the file downloaded and i have to open my computer and put the file where i want it to go but the prob with moving the sparten into the aircraft folder it wont let me cut or copy it to the aircraft folder.
THATS WHAT THE PROBLEM ISSS
Im Going to look for other sites that have a freeware Sparten

Stop behaving like a spoilt 2 year old. I don't know what the problem is because your explanations are vague and I don't know how to solve your problem if I don't know the problem - so I've uploaded it to Yousendit.
Download it from here:
I Found One Finaly http://www.pmstone.com/aircraft/

I have been busy repainting a/c for other better mannered people but should have come back earlier to inform you that the Spartan at Mike Stones site, although excellent is not compatible with the texture files I make for the Original Avsim Executive Spartan. Mike Stone's file is 377 Kb while the original is 16+Mb. So I repeat - until you meet the condition of downloading the proper a/c then I cannot entertain your application for a repaint - sorry but these are the rules.
I can only apologise and say thank you to 99jolegg for all his trouble.
I was getting really exited this morning and now its just turned into a whole heap of wasted time i am really upset
Try reading the replies your given.
Download it from here:
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=22E52FC5550F99BD
Ive got the plane already ❓
And it was definitly the right plane 🙄
You've got the WRONG plane as DaveC said ❗ ❗
Jon's link is the RIGHT plane 😉
Did you download it from the link I gave earlier and not the one you found, and installed it?
If so, then DaveC will get around to your repaint shortly when he has time 😉
I installed Both
I should delete the one i found because its probely not the right plane
oakley26 wrote:

Have you checked that it is actually in the sim?
Yes ive earlier on flown the plane you gave me from the link you gave me 😀
Good.
Now go to this link and answer DaveC's question about half way down:

You are at liberty to start as many political wars as you want - it's a free country - but the Flyaway forums are not the place and is even against the rules.
The flag I paint on the a/c is entirely the choice of the requester and as far as I am concerned has no political association whatsoever - it merely indicates (mostly), the country where the pilot originates. You seem to think that there is a political inference in the flag and this may be one of the reasons why your request for a repaint is declined, apart from the fact that as a repainter I always have the prerogative to decline a request - as I have done in the past and will no doubt, do in the future.

I do not have the knowledge or skill to judge you as a person but your 'forum personna' would appear to be attracted to the controversial which I do not want to get involved in and therefore will not do the repaint.

Can't really see the point you are trying to a make.
Both of you, DaveC is nice enough to offer free paints to us and I if there is one or more that he doesn't wish to do that's entirely his prerogative.
In conclusion...get off his back!

Davec, I'm not trying to make a point. I'd just like a membership application. Thiss is serious, It's just that I keepmoving everz year or so so that i though instead of one flag why not do the whole world? I'm not trying to make a point or anything, this is just my application. Serious.

As a well known US tennis player/champion would say "You can't be serious" - I doubt if I could get all the world's flags on an A380 😂 I don't even mind changing it every time you move house!!
.. but tell you what I could do - use a represention of a global traveller in lieu of the flag - would this suit you? I'll let you see a pic of it for your perusal when I devise it.
ok, well than just make it USA 😀
I have a fixed place over here.

OK - will advise you about download link when I get it uploaded to hosting server - glad you like it.
I think there should be a screenshot competition on the "davec" re-painted Spartans. 😉
