I’m happy to get rid of PMDG and was gonna get the iFly once a Max is released but maybe I’ll switch earlier if there’s a good reason. There's a thread about that here:
February 11, 20224 yr Author Hey Guys, Tarom is in the library now. I made a few more tweaks to the colors and such (always tough on a gray paint to find a good average that will look correct on all simmer's P3D/monitor settings) I dunno what it is about this livery...but I really like it and it'll be my go-to plane for flights around EU. 🙂 This makes 29 paints for the iFly 737 series...a LOT of painting for one guy, but certainly only scratches the surface of the vast amount of liveries this series has worn over its long career in the sky. I like to paint all variations throughout the years to keep it interesting, so you'll see liveries that don't grace the skies any longer, but appeal to me due to their uniqueness and flair (like the TUI Banana @Knoblet😉 ) I'll keep churning them out when I can, browsing my favorite site (flickr) for #30. 🙂 I have a few ideas floating in my brain....will post the winner when I make up my Covid-fogged mind, LOL A note about the "Get Liveries" tool included with the iFly package....I LOVE IT.....OMG it is soooo easy to grab a livery right off the Flight1 library and it downloads/configs and installs it for you with one-click! Plus its a list of all the ones available, so you can browse one screen with a scroll bar vs going to the flight1 library and going thru the few pages of all the liveries. 🙂 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
February 11, 20224 yr Another great looking livery Steve! (I may be a little biased toward retros though.) 🙂

(I may be a little biased toward retros though.) 🙂 Thanks Rob...still waiting for your 1st 737 livery. 🙂 In the mean time...I found what livery I'm doing for #30.... Hehe...I'm so witty.....tying in my 30th paint to a livery of an airline who celebrated their 30th year (a few years back). 🙂 Still very much a WIP as you can tell....but I've mocked up the texture layout pretty good...tail needs a lot of work but the colors look pretty close.

February 11, 20224 yr 18 hours ago, Chapstick said: There's a thread about that here: That's a bit disheartening. All I see there are areas the NGXu is better at: engine spool times and ground friction in the iFly won't see a fix because they refuse to work outside the sim logic, and there's no rain effects. The only positive I found is the sound but I've got the sound pack for the NGXu so I doubt I'll see an improvement.
February 12, 20224 yr Author Almost ready....will upload her soon but probably won't post to the library until tomorrow....Kind'a like this one (funny how you start to appreciate a livery when you have to spend a lot of time paining it, LOL) This one is almost done too. 😉 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
February 13, 20224 yr They're both nicely done, Steve! I really like that middle green with the mini planes in the Germania paint...a very unique paint scheme! So I was wondering...is there a "31" Easter Egg in the ASL repaint? 🙂

So I was wondering...is there a "31" Easter Egg in the ASL repaint? 🙂 Yes! there are 31 pixels in the ASL logo that are 31% darker on the left side than the right. 🤣 JK of course. No Easter eggs on 31. Germania is in the library now...ASL should be there soon...and another one not far behind.

She almost didn't make it to the public as there were some issues that I could not completely resolve to my normal standards, but from normal viewing distance she looks quite lovely and I didn't want to scrap her just for a few imperfections. But that's just me being my own worst critic, LOL. Uploading this one now.....Jannie is online so should have it posted as soon as I send it to him.

I misread that as 32 pints (🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺) later. That would be some drinking session 😅 Hope you enjoy the beta testing and it gives you the variety you need to keep up with the occasional repaint whenever it takes your fancy.
