The textures in the paintkits help you to see what goes where . Also helpful if you want to paint a complete fleet of an airline featured in the paintkit - all you have to do is create your own registrations .

John Glanville 821 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Still working through a list of repaints that were never uploaded , this time Sichuan Airlines with 4 paints . In this series are an A320 IAE with and without Sharklets and A321 IAE with and without Sharklets .

JarredMark 3 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Is there a tutorial on how to repaint in Airbus x? As I'm finding it hard to do so. Any help would be appreciated from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glanville 821 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The short answer is NO , there aren't any tutorials on how to paint the Airbus ( all versions ) . There is a PDF with the paintkit . The only way you can " learn " is to actually try using the paintkit ( since you have only found it today ) . Just remember to make backups before you begin , you cannot break anything by making a repaint . The only advice I can give is first to create a TEST ( blank ) livery for each model and place your repaints in these folders to try them out in FSX . Pay a visit to the Painters forum at AVSIM ( you will have to register ( free ) ) to post , where there are tutorials on painting in general .

JarredMark 3 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Look at the image below, everytime i try to create a new texture for the tail, it always ends up like that. And yes, I'm using DDS (DXT5) and yes they are flip before i paste them into the folder? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glanville 821 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 For the AirbusX ( and all later versions ) you do not have to flip the textures when saving . With the A318/319 you DO have to flip the textures . John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarredMark 3 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Can I ask for your opinions please. My first ever repaint done with airbus x with LY-VEN. Take a look at the pictures. Also, how do i get the textures more HD and more detaild so that you can read the small print texts on the wings etc. Is it something to do with saving the textures in a correct format or something or something to do with the resolution?

John Glanville 821 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Without knowing which programmes you are using for painting / saving and creating DDS textures no one can help you . As far as more details , have you looked at other paints ? Do they have more detail than yours ? Are you saving using mipmaps ? If you are thinking of increasing the size of the texture sheets themselves , try it and see if it makes any difference . Don't forget to alter the FSX.cfg to allow larger texture sizes or it will be for nothing . Also every time you change any settings in FSX you have to alter the texture size as well or it reverts back to 1024 . John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarredMark 3 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm using Photoshop CS6 for editing and DXT for Converting them into DDS/DXT5 formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted February 15, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 15, 2015 Sorry, but I think I have to stop this discussion now. This is a topic to request repaints and not to give lessons in making repaints. JarredMark, you can open another topic in the "radio chatter" section of this forum. But all other posts reagrding "how to.." will be deleted from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glanville 821 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 @ Otto , I am aware that being a moderator is not an easy task but cannot understand why you had to react in this way . The poster asked for help with the paintkit and although not a paint request is ( at least ) painting related . If no one had answered his questions , others would think he was being ignored . As the download links I have placed in the previous pages are not ( always ) related to any requests maybe they should be removed as well ? There are other things that should be of concern , one of them being the hotlinking of copyrighted photographs in this forum . I pointed this out in #36 and was voted down for it even though my comment was correct . See page 16 of this thread for an example . If sites such as Airliners.net decide to disable the downloading of their photo's , how can painters like myself get our source material ? Not every painter has access to the airside of an airport ( if any ) . On another note I am at a loss to understand why my post #574 has been marked as Best Answer . Best answer to what ? Can this be removed ? John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas618 34 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks for the info, Mas! I think I might switch to the SAS A319 then, even if it won't be used for domestic flights in real life: it will at least feel a bit better then the British livery I am using right now. I already found a good looking livery made by John Glanville. http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/89435-100-accurate-sas/ Np m8;-) Mas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to put you under pressure, just wanted to ask and to make sure Working on it now. The PSD template I had for the Condor A321 weren't quite the same. Helpful yes, cut the work down a bit, but not the entirely fitting. The 320 has the tail section painted and aligned differently as opposed to the 321, so I've had to go in and redo a lot of things. I'll try and get it out of the hanger sometime this evening my time. No promises though. Tomorrow defiantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
