In keeping with many members requests to use a default plane whenever possible to maximize framerates, we have decided to use.......

Bombardier Lear

...

The reason we take time to announce the plane is that we must do a lot of testing as we develop the racecourse and must be certain the aircraft we select is suitable for all aspects of the course. We can't be sure of that until the course is completely constructed. So please keep in mind there are many hours of work involved in creating these races for everyone, and we do our best to accomadate everyone. We'll provide more race details in the days ahead, hopefully it'll be worth your wait.. Wink

Repaint Kit for the Learjet is available here:

http://www.simviation.com/fs_paintkits2.htm

When you're done, just send it to Gryshnak for distribution. Or, you can send a request to him for a repaint once he opens his repaint shop. 8)

I would encourage everyone to do a google image search, there are some really neat paint jobs to be found on corporate learjets already.  Go get some inspiration!

And I thought this was going to be an easy repaint - take a close look at the wing, particularly around the control surfaces.
...
Those squares line up neatly on the bitmap.
...
Thanks again Micro$oft  Roll Eyes  I suggest anyone doing a repaint puts their textures on the fuselage, and leaves all the wing in one colour.

It'll do for now, but there are still some bits I'm not very happy about.  Never mind, there's still time to fiddle with it.

There are plenty of add-on planes that are just as FPS friendly as the default planes, with much straighter texture maps, for consideration later in the race season...

Here's a map of Lear45_T.bmp for anyone who wants to try their own repaint.

Thanks for that Gryshnak Wink

Came up with my own paint (still in blue colours).

...

Just one question. How do you go about reducing the file size of the bitmap, yet still keep the 32 bit colour? My BMPs are 4mb, but the Extra 300 race paints are 2.66Mb, and 32 bit colour. Don't suppose it has something to do with DXT?

Oh, and Ashar, love the paint Wink Very smart!
