Felix448 21 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi everyone, as I´m a big fan of special liverys, I´m happy to say that airberlin presented their new livery for 2015! This year it´s not one of their Boeing 737´s, they gave an A320 (D-ABNM) a fresh christmas styled repaint. I´ll add one of the first pictures I found for this one, hope to see some more because it´s actually not the best for repainting purposes. Just wanted to ask if someone could work on this one as soon as the situation allows?

John Glanville 821 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Notice that it's not enough to ask for donations in Holgi's own repaint forum ( and site ) , now you are asking the same in the " other " painters forum as well . In this thread : http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/87258-paint-request-thread-was-closed/#comment-626268 Mathijs himself said that Holgi is not just a painter but is also a member of the development team ( in post 10 ) , so surely the " easiest " solution is to lend Holgi an Aerosoft company PC until he has enough money to buy / make his own instead of asking customers to pay for repaints , whereas others like myself provide our repaints for free . I don't presume to speak for any of the other painters here but I find this quite distasteful as Holgi himself on his own site states that anyone " donating " would receive priority when requesting a paint . Also , just how " broken " is the PC as Holgi has also been painting for the CRJ project ? You don't need a gaming PC to paint so we're not talking about a €2000 computer . I started painting the Bus in February 2010 and since then have " lost " 2 external drives , 2 monitors and had to rebuild my own PC ( CPU , GPU , RAM and motherboard ) without having ( or asking for ) any help from Aerosoft or the forum members . Add to that that I also had to buy the Airbus ( all versions ) in order to paint it . Even after the American A321 paint made by DetCord and myself was added to the product ( download and CD ) we were not included in the manual or received any recognition for it .

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted November 26, 2015 Aerosoft Share Posted November 26, 2015 We'll remove it from that forum. We decided that knowing about the circumstances Holger faced it would be a correct gesture for us to assist him and to ask other people to do the same if they felt it was a good idea. That has no influence on our gratitude we have towards you, Detcord and many other people. It is however a fact that Holger plays a different role and that is part of the reason we did what we did.

I kinda got the same opinion about this situation, but well let´s get back to the christmas airbus shall we? John I´d like to ask you, would you want to make a repaint of this airplane for us? Just if you have some free time left of course. Here are some more photos of D-ABNM btw: COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL REMOVED Idk why you would remove these photos, the offical photographers were displayed + there was a "jetphotos" watermark...

John Glanville 821 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I apologise for " hijacking " your request but felt that the comments placed by moderators regarding donations have no business here ( and have now been removed ) . The Air Berlin livery has been painted several times in the past , so the original painter is the one to contact as he has everything needed and only has to add the " extra " details as seen in your pictures ( now also removed ) . For another painter to attempt this paint they would have to start from scratch and is the same as having to re-invent the wheel . I am certain that someone else may be willing to paint this livery . @Mathijs Kok I'm well aware of the " elevated " position that Holgi has but the point I am trying to make ( badly ) , is in the post I linked to above ( in particular #10 ) , you yourself stated that Holgi is a member of the development team , so surely the obvious solution is to " lend " him a company PC until he is able to buy a new one or repair the old one himself . Asking people to " donate " is the same as asking them to pay for repaints while others are expected to do the same for no reward apart from contributing to the community . Other painters of the AirbusX , namely JanKees Blom , Heliapin , Tyrion and FSXAddict all produced quality work ( for others , search the AirbusX liveries in the Download section ) but never continued with the later versions . Did you ever ask yourself why ? The whole paying for paints is a very slippery slope and the question is , where does it end ? What happens when another painter is unable to continue when his PC is broken ? Maybe I should consider asking for payment to cover for any eventual PC repairs / internet connection costs that I incur , although I don't think that it would make me very popular in the community .

Ok, didn´t know that until now, thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
