would you try to do a geebee like repaint for all 3 birds? Roll Eyes

It took longer than expected, mainly because of the distortion on top and bottom of the fuselage - nice smooth curves on the bitmap came out with surprising shapes on the finished plane.  Again, shame about the red tail fairing but there's no way around that.  At least the other two should be fairly straightforward.

Or should I make the whole fuselage underside red?  It would look nice in yellow and black too  Grin

I think TSC already has red and white, would you like to try the yellow/black option?

I'll start making these available soon, I have an idea to keep the download size within reasonable limits (trying to keep the total below 20mb if I can).

I didn't really say that did I?  Really?  Someone remind me not to say that again.

Here's the Extra in the GeeBee black/yellow paint scheme, numbers can be added later.  Now that I've got the shapes sorted it only takes a couple of minutes to change the colours.  That's the KingAir and Extra done with this setup, just the Comet to go!

Hey Gryshnak, did you get my e-mail that came with my repaint?

I figured that you should try it out and see how it looks [up close]. I was also hoping you might be able to distribute it so that others can see me with that liverly.

I have one more favor, but you don't have to rush on it. Can you make a similar liverly for the Extra 300 and the Comet? I will appreciate that. But if you don't have time, just send me a blank set for the two aircraft and I'll do it myself. I don't have any blank sets for the Comet and Extra and there is no such set on SimV.

Doh!  Sorry Katahu, that'll teach me to check my email more often.

I've got my hands full with repaints at the moment, but I'll send you a blank for the Comet and Extra so you can do your own repaint.  If anyone else wants to do their own paint job as well, that'd be excellent!

A leaky water pipe in our dining room wall is probably going to take me away from repainting this weekend  Cry

I'll paint one in overall white and label all the bits tonight, then put it on the website for everyone who wants one.  Paint it up, fly it around, then if you're happy with the results send it back to me and I'll include it as your race entry  Grin

What I was planning to do was make 3 or 4 patterns for each plane and put them on the website.  Then people could either fill in the colours they want and send it back, or tell me and I'll change the colours for them (changing red to blue or black to white only takes a moment with a simple bucket fill).

Many thanks for that... gonna try a ww2 type Yak paint with a 'red star' spinner, so i'll take on the paint thing myself

And another question: where do i get the rest of the textures in case i decide to join a race

What I did last time was to repaint a whole bunch of planes in random colours, zip them all together, and put it on my website so everyone could download it.

This time I'd like to make templates available so people can do their own repaints if they want to, or at least tell me what colours they want and I'll do it for them.  Then I'll collect all the files together before the race and make 3 separate zip files, along with the appropriate aircraft.cfg file for each.  Since there are several dozen competitors already, my biggest worry is running out of web space!  I have 20mb available, does anyone have more room if we need it?  Of course we could also submit the zip files to SimV but I'm not sure if that's appropriate for a one-off race event like this.

We don't know the race date yet, but I'll probably close the paint shop 48 hours before it starts.  That would give me 24 hours to put the files together and another 24 hours for everyone to download and install them.

Remember that repaints aren't actually necessary to compete so latecomers could still use the default planes, but it looks so much better if everyone has their own team colours   Grin

I haven't a clue how to do that!  Something about alpha channels on transparent parts.  I'll see what I can do, I need to learn about it sooner or later anyway.  Meantime would you settle for a jet black interior, with a jet black pilot?  It's the Ninja look!  8)

Oh dear, someone accidentally ran a forklift into it last night while we were packing up!  But I'm sure we can fix it for you, one more scratch will give it a bit of character, eh?  I'll throw in an extra roll of duct tape too.  Coming your way soon...
