Any painter care to do a Flight Safety paint job on the FS9 default piper? Would love to have one :)

After not having used FRrepaint for some weeks ( and some XPupdates later) I tried to use the program today.It did not start and a message was shown telling me the user32.dll was moved within the memory because this adress was now needed byc:windowssystem32hhctrl.ocxIt advised to contact the supplier for a new dll.Is there anyone who know what this is about and how to cure?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/169578.jpgRegardsLeen de Jager

sorry ignore this one please reply on my other post about this subject.Leen

I can't find the LAN repaints for the Overland Airbus models.Anyone want to paint these?

I've just got into aircraft repainting with FSX and need help in a couple of areas.The plane I've been repainting is the default CRJ-700 and I'm happy with my repaint - except for one thing. In doing the repaint, I've overwritten all the detail (rivets, vents etc) from the lower half of the fuselage. Does a bump map do what its name suggests i.e. allow me to add 'bumps' like rivets without actually redrawing them onto the main texture sheet, or have I misunderstood what it's purpose is. Is there a general description available somewhere what all the different files in the texture folders do such as bump, spec, fresnel?thanksDavid

Does anyone use Abacus's FS Repaint and Windows Vista together? if so im having a error on start-up of FS Repaint saying error due to a .dll, Does anyone have any ideas as i used FS Repaint and Windows XP together with no problems before, im now thinking FS Repaint is only for XP and previous operating systems and maybe its not for Vista, unless anyone else uses them together now and have a way around it?Kind RegardsJason

Hi guysI am trying to convert some of my old FS9 repaints of the default DC-3 to FSX versions. So far I've got the main visible texture working OK:http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6960/k684fsxqm8.jpgWell, I know I have still got to do something about those green windows. In my first attempt I have used a pure white alpha channel like in the good old FS9 days to avoid to much shine, but I will have to refine that a bit :-)The real problem lies in the specular map of the main texture. I have looked at the spec. maps of the various default DC-3 paints in FSX, and they all seem to be very closely connected to the visible part of the texture. On the military surplus version …

Hi all,At this moment i'm working on a repaint of the skysimulations virtual cockpit. I've got the feeling this aircraft was initially developed for FS2004 and therefor using smaller textures than FSX can handle in the end. So what i did was double the texture size to 2048x2048px. No problems so far. But, the minute i hop into FSX and load the MD-11, the changed texture turns completely black. When i save the file on it's default resolution of 1024 this issue doesn't occur. Downside on that case is that my new paint practically isn't visible since the end product does not differ that much from the photo paint Skysimulations made. Also alot of details simply aren't visible…

Hi guys.I am looking for talented 2D/texture artists for the task of repainting specific aircraft models as requested. They are expected to use considerable imagination and creativity besides Photoshop or texturing skills and techniques, and must have experience, knowledge and preferably expertise behind aircraft paint schemes, preferably in civil aviation. I know that 1 out of the possible 3 3D models already exists so that would be just the texturing job. The other 2 models would have to be built from scratch so...I am also looking for 3D model developers to develop these 2 aircraft (not necessarily for FSX-that would be an added bonus).Previous completed projects or a …

I've been trying to install Mike Pearson's textures for the A330-200 (f332grnl.zip). These require fsp_mdl.zip. I have tried installing these using the FSP base A330-300 as instructed in Mike Pearson's readme but I get missing textures. I wonder if this is anything to do with the winglets. I am using the ge model. I've tried using the base A330-200 but get the same result.Any advice would be much appreciated. Betelhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/167718.jpg

Hello,I am making an attempt to repaint the new XL Airways livery on the Boeing 767. Unfortunately I don't have the font Excel/XL Airways uses on their aircraft.Maybe someone of you can help identify the font or even better provide with a bitmap including the font in a large size.Example: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1165958/L/ I know I am asking for much, but I can't think of better opportunity than here? :D best regards,Christian

If anyone wants to tackle this one I will greatly appreciate!The new TinMouse B732 came out a few months ago and there have been several repaints for it but i cannot find one in AA colors...

I am attempting to do a repaint on my PMDG 747F. I am using 2 sets of repaints that are already working in FS9. But when I use paint shop (can't get the hang of photoshop) the images display fine in windows explorer but the textures are not shown in FS. I haven't a clue what I'm doing wrong because all I am essentialy doing is copying and pasting the images onto a template. I could do with some pointers.

Please, i'm painting a 747 Queen of the Skies after having downloaded the Paintkit. I want to test it but i don't know how. where should i paste the .psd files i have painted???Thanks, Ignacio

Yesterday I made a repaint of the default FSX Baron. All well and good. But something happened while I was installing it into the sim, and it started showing the fallthrough white paint. So I played around a bit, and now EVERY Baron shows up just as the fallthrough white paint.The only files I (knowingly) changed were in my new texture directory, and the only part of Aircraft.cfg I changed was the addition of a new texture entry corresponding to the paint. It was a copy/paste of one of the others, name changed and altered to point to the new texture.I made a second install of FSX on a different PC, and my new paint works fine in that. So I'm convinced there's no problem …

Hello guys, This is my first post here, just to ask if any of you could shed some light on how to change the color of FSX default aircrfat Reg Number(N number)? :-hmmm I've tried adding 'atc_id_color=xxx' to the aircraft config with no success. :( Thanks Francisco Aguiar

Hi there,I've just done a DXT1 batch conversion for all the textures on my AI traffic using imagetool. All went well however I have one question. Does the imagetool converter scan and ignore files that have already been converted or will it redo them all and thus reduce the quality further?ThanksDan

Anyone up for it?Thanks in advance!
