I've been painting zeppelins this weekend.  Here's a few of them:

 . . . and the other side.

Wow Jeff, those are cool. Capt. Kirk!

Nice Jeff! How about Sub-Cmdr. T'pol or Lt. Worf ?

     That was a 25th Anniversary print I had on my pc.  I was picking random images from my computer and the internet to see what I could do. 
     I like the zeppelin.  It's great for sightseeing tours.  I've been wanting to make an RTMM version for some time.  I'm not crazy about that green color though.  So I got the idea to use the forum header theme.  Wood.

The RTMM paint job is a great marketing ploy, just moseying up and down the coast line getting the name out there, yuk,yuk. I know you've answered it before, but which lighter than air, airship is that

Looks great, Jeff!!

Hi av8erjm,
It is freeware from 2009.  Its official title is "Flightport Zeppelin NT". 

Authors are:
Model, Panel and Gauges: Thomas Roehl
Airfiles: Joerg Hammes
Lights and Effects:Stefan Medelnik

According to the manual that comes with it, they planned on updating this model from an FS9 conversion to a true FSX native model.  I am going searching for it. Wish me luck.

Edit:  That didn't take long.  Here ya go.  (I use FS Repaint to paint them.)

Here's a link I google'd up.  Try this.  
http://www.fs-freeware.net/downloads/viewdownload/156-zeppelins-ballons/3309-prepar3d-flightport-zeppelin

edit 2:  (It looks like the exact same file dates I had already, so no update in last five years.)  That's ok, it works fine anyways, even in P3Dv2.1.

Edit 3:  Hi, Jeff from the future (2020) here.  The Zeppelin was updated for P3Dv4.  Here is the link to download it. - https://www.rikoooo.com/downloads/viewdownload/7/231

Looks great, Jeff!!

Thanks Klaus.

Well done

Jeff you couldn't be persuaded to post that texture file for the zep would you??

Maybe.   

(note: This is ONLY the fuselage texture file!  You need to have the zeppelin model installed already.)      Link to download Zeppelin-NT is in Reply #6 above.

( . . . and then I made this one. )
"When Pigs Fly."


I put the earth on one for Earth Day.  Happy Spring!


I put the "Hawaii Photoreal" hula girl on this one:   

[av8erjm]

Thanks I like having textures that reflect the local area, IE: try to fly aircraft with either N or C numbers, I've dabbled in trying to paint and what have you, but it seems I'm a virtual idiot

Brilliant Jeff, your painting skills are becoming " Jedi " always something fun to do in this hobby.

[jeff3163]

Ha ha, . . . did the Jedi like to "cut-n-paste" alot too?

Thanks, Jeff for the link to the Zeppelin and your texture.
I've been looking for a nice airship.
