Malzabin 35 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hey guys, Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm pretty excited for the upcoming A33X, so I want to get a headstart on repainting. Now obviously the repaint kit for the 33X isn't available yet, but I want to start on the 320 kit so I have some idea of what I am going to be doing. I looked for some good tutorials on youtube and through the search here on the AS forums. But I didn't really find anything useful (there was one post with alot of pages and I went through a few and most people were posting requests there as opposed to learning how to repaint) -- So I guess I want to start self-learning. I know I need Photoshop, which I already have. And I've seen people talking about using DXT as a converter (I'm assuming as a last step to convert to a readable format) -- Do I understand this correctly? I am also assuming, this is the DXT converter I need http://www.mwgfx.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm -- Can someone confirm this? Rest of the steps from the posts I read is just basically trial and error? Also, does anyone know if I can use one of Holgi's liveries for the A320 as a template and play around with it? If so, do I just copy the folders and use the files? (For my own personal use only ofcourse) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetunes 85 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I think I'll make a video detailing how I do it sometime. Maybe today is the day I'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

por928 65 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Dave, Fantastic video. I have often wondered about repaints and how difficult. You very easy to follow video will make me have a go at some mods. Be great if you could do a start from scratch video series...total repaint of a A320 to some thing you have found a JPEG picture of. I can then have a go at updating my aircraft where required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much for that. I just wanted to ask you, could you please make another one covering the end of the repaint? I'm still researching how to get that reflection effect every Aerosoft repaint has, lol. Thanks, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
