In the Update section of our website you can now find a simple paint kit for the Huey X. The files are in standard layered PSD format with a wireframe overlay. We included the set of VC textures that has English decals. Please note that you need your product registered to see the updates for any product!

When you got repaints done please share them in our forum download section so we can inform other users of your work!

One additional note from my side:

If an original texture folder contains also a texture with "x" in the name, for example "Bell205-002x", keep booth of them.

That means. the x version should be identical to the normal one.

(At least I think so. The structure was made 2 years ago, lol)

Have fun with painting, and don't shoot me, if you get a few little troubles at one or another place. Painting this thing is not that easy, because seams are not always clean, but I know you talented guys will find a way :-)

Awesome thanks for the paint kit

The C340's on hold

When you said simple paintkit you weren't kidding. I can see why it's stated, painting this thing is not easy. Go figure. A properly mapped kit would have helped immensely.

Thanks nonetheless.

Well, it's indeed very easy to use. All you have to do is to choose the layer option 'multiply' within your paint program!

.

Thanks for the paintkit!

Tim your not wrong there. Its very simple really. Alternatively you can use a remove white tool Which is my prefered method.

Thats looking good too Tim

Edit: heres a sneaky peaky at what im working on at the moment

Still a lot to be done yet

Can't wait for some repaints. If I ever get around to buying a good paint or photo editor I may take up the hobby, but those programs run too steep for me. In the meantime, if anyone is taking requests, I have a few suggestions:

You don´t have to buy a photo editior. Try GIMP or PAINT.NET

I use FS Repaint or sometimes FSX Model Viewer to see changes made in textures while doing a repaint.

For example, to match up lines.

Using these programs saves me time by not having to load up FSX everytime to see a change.

I have activated 'Huey X', but it is blocking these programs from viewing the exterior.

Is there a way this could be fixed please?

Hi,

my first repaint with the paintkit is more or less finished

I will upload it later today.

There are a few details that needs to be separated from the background if you're using the multiply option, with the paint layer as a normal layer but that will take about 2 minutes on each psd. What exactly do you mean by " proberly mapped" ? If a repainter cannot use this kit, he is no repainter, as far as I'm concerned. I find it refreshing not to have 150+ layers on a psd these days, too many are distributing their unedited master textures and that is turning off a lot of painters.

Good kit, that's my verdict. Add what's needed by yourselves :-)

Thanks

Dag

First two repaints are nearly ready - simple white but ............

Hey Fireball6, while you are doing a pure white paint can you also do a nice shiny pure black one?

Travis, give me the weekend and I'll modify my black one for you. Any particular tail number?

Short info - my first Repaint-Pack is available in the Download-section. Hope you'll like it.
