Stu Antonio Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Cockpit and cabin windows seem „more transparent“ hence darker than others, is this intentional or is it an indication that I messed something up?

They are slightly darker - we tried to make them lighter to make hte cabin shades appear whiter behind the glass but then it just looked wrong. Next WIP 9 2
Christoph Sebek Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 You`re on a roll. Great lineup, very nice. Thanks for your hard work chaps ! 1

Thanks man! Do you by any chance have your settings/visual add-ons etc. posted anywhere in order to get close to the look of those awesome screenshots?
Daniel Du Preez Posted July 26, 2020 Author Posted July 26, 2020 Hi Stu, I don't but it's pretty much stock P3Dv5 with no shader addons and HDR disabled. 2 1

Robin Locher Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I love the Accurate LH Wings:) But I think the text has to be between the line like this. @John Tavendale Do not walk outside this area Or Am I wrong 1

Instead the FSL uses overlays which are only mapped to a specific part of the wing and does not extend as far out as the text requires so you'll have to live with it as is I'm afraid. Sometimes we have to deviate from reality due to the model / texture mapping implementation. 3

He included the proper text on the wings but keep in mind its mirrored on the other side. 1
Robin Locher Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I am hoping for a EWG one.. with the new paintkit:) It just looks much better No matter of the text on the wings 1

John Tavendale Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 I was planning to see if I could do EWG justice.. but will be delayed. Need to travel to attend to a medical issue and will be away for the next few days 3 1

Daniel Du Preez Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 Next WIP. A painful experience indeed, especially in 4K. It's also not complete yet even after 2 days of painting and adjusting all the patterns and triangles to intersect correctly. The geometry involved here doesn't quite fit with the FSL due to the fact that the rudder is too small on the FSL and the vertical stab doesn't meet the fuselage in the right position but I'm getting there! The patterns and intricate details of this livery is not a joy to paint and align and I hate it Remind me to never do Air Malta again 11 2 3

Daniel Du Preez Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 More teasers of the fruits of my utter frustration She's nearly there - I've done most of the geometry align work now. The only things that remain now is to create the patterns on the fuselage triangles where needed and adjust the belly logo to match IRL (may not be possible). 6 3
Daniel Du Preez Posted August 1, 2020 Author Posted August 1, 2020 More patternwork completed this morning after another painful session of aligning Now there is pretty much just the green and orange patternwork left on the lower fuselage then she'll be out (finally!) 4 2
Till Lukas Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Wow! Amazing stuff. I would love to see a Jetstar livery! That metalic shine 2
Daniel Du Preez Posted August 2, 2020 Author Posted August 2, 2020 After almost a week of excruciating faffing and alignment work, Air Malta 9H-AEP is finally available here There are some areas where I couldn't replicate the IRL bird due to extreme texture distortion (mosly on belly areas at the rear) but it should be a fairly accurate representation of 9H-AEP. 8 4
Daniel Du Preez Posted August 4, 2020 Author Posted August 4, 2020 Next WIP - Joyal Jordanian JY-AYR 10
Daniel Du Preez Posted August 4, 2020 Author Posted August 4, 2020 I gave this one a lot of "rivet rash" as it shows quite easily on this frame. Most of the line work now done apart from nose and tail area and then it's onto the belly logo. I also got the grey looking fantastic using PBR metallic effects This frame from Flickr: 5
NilsUnger Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Shame there is no way to make the window blinds brighter. Although I like the idea of them being dynamic, my old setup definitely pleases me more visually.

John Tavendale Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Due to some challenges with the texture on the bottom of the rear fuselage I've scrapped any plans for EWG. Sorry. 1 9
Daniel Du Preez Posted August 9, 2020 Author Posted August 9, 2020 Airbus A320-232 IAE Etihad Airways A6-EIH is now available here: EDIT: I made minor corrections to the repaint as of 15h04 UTC, please redownload if you acquired the repaint before then. 4 1
Robin Locher Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 If you can not do a EWG livery any chance for a Laudamotion? Would be nice. I think it is not so complicated 2
Daniel Du Preez Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 I have started work on transitioning over the A320 kit to the A321. Due to them not having the same scale on the texturing side of things this is a monumental undertaking as most parts have to be remade where downsizing destroys details but it's now at least at a point where it's somewhat presentable Usual WIP disclaimer as incorrect/misaligned details will be seen. 6
Brian Swintal Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Major thanks to @Daniel Du Preez, @Hugo Bicho and @John Tavendale for putting this kit together. I just put out my first 2 paints on it! 4
Till Lukas Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 So clam here! Everybody flying the new game?

John Tavendale Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Nope. I can't speak for the others, but I've lost interest in painting again.

In between all that I was juggling crazy work commitments but things are smoothing out now Work is continuing on the enhanced A321 kit. We are hoping to get it out and ready for release sometime this month (if all goes according to plan!) Ignore the overly obvious rivets; they are darker to use as reference while working on the kit (4K res image). 8 1
