Project Do228

Finally we have some new renderings to present. They show a part of the pedestal with the autopilot on the right.

It’s been more than a week since the last post. This doesn’t mean we are not working though! Here’s a little preview of the panel. As soon as there is something worth showing again, I will let you know of course!

Hey everyone!

When we posted those screenshots of the gauges (”Details baby…”), Tristan from Soleluna Airways asked us, what those pictures actually show. Are those the modelled gauges for the VC? Or just photos of the real panel? I gave a short reply in form of a comment. Now André suggested to create a short post on this topic, so you guys know what we are actually working on at the moment and what our work looks like.

So, what is needed to create a gauge? First of all, we need pictures of it. As we don’t have our own Do228 (not yet…), we have to rely on our partners. We request a picture - the next day we usually have it. Nice service, that is. The pictures we usually get look like this one:

The “Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter - LGW” has been founded in 1980 by Bernd Walter with Dortmund as homebase. The Airline is currently operating five Do228-200 and one Do228-100. It’s destinatons are Berlin, Dresden, Düsseldorf, Erfurt, Hamburg, Köln, Leipzig/Halle, Nürnberg, Stuttgart und Westerland/Sylt. (http://www.lgw.de, June 19th, 2007)

The following screenshots are showing the three different paintshemes of LGW’s Do228-200 fleet.

If you are wondering what we are doing all the time, except writing blog entries about prototypes and demonstrators, I have an an answer:

In hope of new, interesting Dornier pictures, I search the internet at least once a month. The photos I usually find show planes of LGW, Arcus Air, Vision Air, Kato Air etc. But they are far not as fascinating as a rare picture of a DANA Avition (Nigeria) aircraft or a stored prototype.

So, this time, I tried to find the whole fleet of Dornier’s 228 demonstrator aircraft. Airliners.net, Myaviation.net and Dornier228.de helped me a lot. I found several Do228 in “house” liveries. Three of them are Do-228-2XX. Number one shows the prototype of the Do-228-200. It’s the D-ICDO (s/n 4359). This version is a little bit different from the -202 and -212 that we are working on. I decided to paint it anyway. I hope you like the result.
