hi everyone, i have had a friend of my paint me 5 Eaglesoft citation X 2.0 for my va, but hes only done them for FSX, is there any who can or knows someone or is there a tool out there that will allow them to be used in fs9 as well, because i have pilots on both systems.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could do a repaint for me for free for my P-51 Mustang team. The name of the team is still unknow but i do know that the team colours are going to be Gold, Blue, and White. So if anyone can be extremely helpful and make me a paint for the default P-51 Mustang that would be appreciated. Thanks, Little Buddy524 (Justin)

Good day everyone,I'm using the overland/Simmer's sky models. And on the 737-700/800 to see the winglet enlightened, I must to switch the landing light to see them enlightened.Is someone could tell me is a solution to fix that ?Thanks you in advance

I want to do repaint of an Overland A320, but the format of the paintkit is different from the actual texture i found from the repaints. I've googled again maybe i can find another paintkit but seems the only available is from there website which the fuselage is whole and not chopped. Any help from this? thanks

The last Citation X paint job did very well in the download department, more so on flightsim.com than on avsim library. So I've decided to paint another one by hand. This is what she is starting to look like, but still has some ways to go.

I'm working on my next livery, and should finish it by this weekend. It's the Eaglesoft Citation X for FSX livery in real world color scheme with registration number SX-ECI.

Hello all,I've recently noticed something very strange that only appears to be present on the Feelthere ERJ v2, ERJ-145XR model. Looking at the House colors and a repaint I'm working on (using the public paint kit), despite a door frame and handle being painted on the actual texture file, it does not actually show up on the ERJ-145XR model when I load it. This is only true for the 1L boarding door. An example of what I'm seeing is below.Please notice how the door frame and handle are painted on the main texture file, but don't show up at all on the 145XR model. This is very, very perplexing to me, the first I've seen something like this in the 60 or so repaints I've d…

Does anyone know of a repaint for the Wilco/Feelthere E135/145/145x in the new (2011) United Express colors for FS9? There is one out for FSX I've found, but I'm not sure if that works in FS9. Jim

Anyone know where I can get a Paintkit for the FSP MD11, prefer the F model. There used to be one posted here, but it seems to have been lost.

Hi guys,anyone have this one? I found F-70 but F-100 is probably lost on AVSIM.ThanxKova

After many, many hours...I'm pleased to finally be close to finishing on this repaint. I've been dying to see a Mokulele repaint for some time on the Feelthere/Wilco E170, awesome for island hopping.With that said, here's a preview of what will be coming onto Avsim in the coming days. Just need a few touchups and to paint the antennas.

Hi! I am new to painting and am trying to find a tutuorial that is no longer available online. It was on the website flightsimulatorguide.com, since shutdown. It was a tutorial on how to paint the POSKY 777, the example was that of a Korean Air 777. If anyone has a pdf of that could I get a copy PD'd to me? Or if it has moved to another website.Thanks.Drew

Hi guys, I really need your help with this one. I nearly finished my repaint of SGA´s MD80 for FS2004 in Austrian Airlines special logo "grüezi Zürich" as shown below:What annoys me is, that Austrian´s MD-80s had a thin red outline on those protruding fins (marked in red circles) at the engines and on the fuselage way below the cockpit windows. I followed Leen´s instructions on how to find certain spots on a paintkit texture, but had no luck with this one.So has anyone of you ever succeded in painting those small fins?Regards from Graz,Werner

Era doesn't have a J-41, but I think they ought to consider one.:Love:

I am doing a repaint of the POSKY A330-300 and cant find which texture file the starboard main gear doors are on. The port one is on " a330fuse3and4_t ".,I have painted this and is ok..Any help will be most appreciated.

Hi everyone! I'm new to repainting my own airplanes, but I find it quite simple. I put this in the main FS9 forum, but no one replied. It didn't occur to me to put here first though. So, I was looking through my archive of planes, and I found Yannick Lavigne's Falcon 50. I got a paint kit for it and repainted it. The problem is my repaint doesn't show up in FS! I named my new repaint folder TEXTURE.lzdoy (fictional livery). Here is the aircraft.cfg: [fltsim.0]title=Falcon50fullsim=Fal50caea2model=panel=sound=texture=kb_checklists=Fal50caea2_CHECKkb_reference=Fal50caea2_REFatc_id=F-CAEAui_manufacturer=Dassaultui_type=Falcon 50ui_variation=fullvisual_damage=1description=…

I am repainting the Wilco A332 for a VA and for the life of me can't find the texture file containing the paint for the horizontal stabilizer. Anybody else who has painted this aircraft know the name of the file or where exactly it may be located? I thought it would be called Wing2_t or something like that but I just am unable to locate it. Thanks in advance for the help!

What are the font?Shanghai Airlines & Chongqing AirlinesThanks!

GreetingsI've been attempting to convert textures of various payware aircraft for FSX for the VA I'm involved with. I use 32 bit 888-8 encoding on all my textures for FS9. These textures do load in FSX, but various aircraft parts are lit incorrectly (doors are dark etc...). I still primarily use FS9 but may finally make the switch to FSX soon, plus many of our pilots have been requesting FSX textures as well. The first aircraft I'm trying to tackle is the QW 757. As I said 32 bit 888-8 BMPs load fine, but the doors are dark. So, I tried re-saving them as 32 bit 888-8 .DDS textures (flipping them of course), but the same problem occurs. I've attached a screenshot to…

Just finished the "C" version of PMDG 1900 Era Alaska. Will be posting it on AVSIM some time tomorrow. My link

Hi everyone,Honestly I have to say, IFLY paintkit is the second after PMDG B1900 that I've seen worst paintkit!!! In normally, whole side PSD pictures are exactly fit size by divided Texture BMPs.So you can easyly crop by 512X512 or 1024X1024. But Ifly sideview paintkit has empty areas and divided 3 fuselage textures parts are too close to other model parts in the picture.I've a question; how do you crop fit size of main sideview PSD file (name is 800.PSD)and how do you put correct pixel positions in fuselage without touching other pictures parts in bmp file?PMDG800 paintkit was fitted size example 3072pixels wide and we could divide correct size each 1024pixels as 3 par…

Hello Everyone,I'm trying to make some ANA Wings liveries for Majestic's Q300. I've finished the ground work on the livery, but all I need now is the small Q300 logo seen on the real plane. Does anyone know where I can find this logo? or the keywords I could use to search for it? I've tried with no luck.
