Project Airbus – Talk

Private Custard

It's £26, you may as well! Put it this way, My autogen is maxed, I'm running my textures at 4096 and a L.O.D. radius of 8.5000000. I started at Manchester in the Real Air Mk.XIV Spitfire this evening and flew at 286kts, right across to the east coast at around 100ft and under. Framerates were solid ...

Whilst we're all awaiting the upcoming aircraft from PA, you might want to try out some new scenery. Go on, treat yourselves, Christmas is coming!

I've never looked at that one. Right, time for some research!

Private Custard

:/ What happens when you run out of them? Slightly more controversial targets, such as forum-goers, move into the crosshairs!! If they run out of kittens I'm pretty sure esg will throw me against a wall so let's not talk about release dates shall we? I'm just sitting here patiently, knowing that wh...

AAAAAND.. another kitten died!

It was kind of a dual-meaning comment.

Basically, what I just did was swing a kitten into a wall and then lovingly nurse it back to health!

Private Custard

I've been really bored recently, so decided to put this together.

Calling dibs on a clean Singapore livery for the A330. I already have my reference material ready!!

If your laptop's weak, you've done a bloody good job hiding it. I really enjoyed that vid, thanks for posting :) What was the tune? It sounds a couple of generations old, like early 2000's Bukem or Pacific Heights, really nice clean bassline! EDIT: Forget the music question, I just read the decripti...

Private Custard

lol. Cliches have never before been presented so originally I try to keep things fresh. A little humour never goes amiss! :D Oh... So that's how you guys make nice FS videos? That's totally not the way I do it! :mrgreen: I go through a lot more work to end up with something crappier! Like flight fo...

Private Custard

Thanks for providing an aircraft that it really good on the framerates...........and really easy to paint!!

Made possible due to the models from you guys that are not only pretty, but great on frames too

Private Custard

Coming to the end of my vintage world tour. How many PA aircraft can you spot?

Much better than bog-standard A.I...........but much more time consuming for videos!!

I painted an A320 in Jamaica colours when I was first learning to paint. It's not quite up to this standard, but if you want it, the link is in the description of my video

Ughm.. Ok so I just watched the video... The plane had to be without passengers with 5% fuel remaining to be that light? haha. 84%, full of paying passengers! I was really nailing it though, losing a lot of height for each manoeuvre! He, if Tex Johnson can do it.....! [youtube]KLlWvr6jPRw[/youtube]

I was going to go for the 'circle around to view' approach, but I was having fun!

Private Custard

Not a real world livery this time around, but pretty close. I used a photo I took in 2009 for the tail and gave it a made-up I.D. I'm quite happy with it and may do more in the future with my other wildlife shots. [youtube]0_LMMHGYgmI[/youtube] http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/9859/thumbnailub.jpg

I only spotted the hidden layers tonight!!

Private Custard

It's not stealing if I delete everything that was created by another painter.

Private Custard

Here's the problem.

I mistakenly used the one on the right, which flopped about madly inside the IAE unit. So I had to grab a bigger one from a different livery!

EDIT, Ahh, now I see what you mean.........I'm having a brain-slur tonight!

Private Custard

Actually, forget me, I'm not thinking straight. I've pasted some textures from a BA a320 over the top and then manually deleted all of it but the engine part I needed! Although I am interested to know if there's a psd file for IAE engines..........there has to be, I screwed up like this last time......

Private Custard

I remember having this issue when repainting my Air Jamaica A320, but I was painting the model with the CFM engines. Now I'm painting a Spirit A320 with the IAE engines and am having the same issue. It seems to be haunting me. What's the name of the psd in the A320 paintkit that I need to be paintin...

A work in progress!

Every time I see some new paints for the A321, I hope and pray no-one's done the first one I've got lined up (got all my reference photos at the ready!). I don't see the point in painting any more A320s if the A321 is sooooo close I can smell the burning avgas! Does anyone know if the paintkit will ...

Private Custard

Yep, 3 looks pretty good. Have you tested it in all weathers to see how it changes?

Private Custard

For the time being, it's on flightsim.com. I have an idea how I can get it onto AVSim though. I have a netbook running 32bit XP, so I should be able to use a much older version of winzip that should be compatible. I'll try tomorrow as I'm currently having a genius moment on affinitymask tweaks for h...

Private Custard

New update at the top!

Private Custard

Is AVSim the only site I could upload these files to? Does anyone use simviation?

I'm unsure of any possible website rivalry politics, I just always see AVSim links around these parts!

Private Custard

Thought I'd have a little play around with my newly painted island hopper! http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/145/jam0015.jpg http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5673/jam0011.jpg http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/4020/jam0012.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/9774/jam0013.jpg http://img207.imag...

Private Custard

Did you try the 0, 55, 123 that I got from the official website?

I just painted a little into your shot to give you an idea.

Private Custard

Had any luck then? Don't mind taking a look for you, just drop me an email with the zip No joy :( It's a pretty big file as I'm uploading the model with the textures, sounds and VC all ready to go. I think it's coming in at around 35meg. I'm baffled as to quite how they can make something this simp...

Good to know you didn't forget about this one.

I want all of them!!

Stunning paints, really really nicely done.

They're not recognising my zip file, claiming it's missing!

Odd thing is that I got the e-mail telling me it had been checked for viruses and was clean, but then about 8 hours later, I'm getting the failure e-mail!

Private Custard

So far they've rejected four of my uploads because they don't like my zip files. First I uploaded in zip form using winrar, and then today I uploaded using a zip file created using the windows compression utility (which they advised!). What's going on? How is everyone else creating their zips? To be...

I like this livery, very nice

BIG EDIT: Sky Team have a nice eps file to download on their website. I got a colour reading of 0,55,123 straight from their own logo. http://www.skyteam.com/downloads/news/gallery/logos/skyteamPartnersColor.zip - Save as I think both blues are too purple.

I knew that my major stumbling block would be photoshop as soon as I'd been sorted out on the other factors by posting here. Patience and time are two things I have a lot of!

But photoshop makes no sense. Never has, never will!!

Private Custard

I had a few moments of confusion! The first was when I had a single layer bmp and needed to add the pink, fading stripes to the tail. A bit of messing around with the blending options got the yellow logo to shine though. Then I had to fool about with the pink join where the tail meets the fuselage. ...

New shots above!

This is now ready to download :D http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=152701 Just testing the fuselage paintwork. I'll have to totally re-write the tail though, as for some unknown reason, at dusk or night, it's not only a different color to the fuselage blue, but I have the MS Flight Simulator text...

Private Custard

Many thanks. I'm just modifying the readme (whilst retaining all Project Airbus copyright info and credits to the modellers, testers etc...). I've changed the sound.cfg so that it uses the default A321 sounds (people can add their own sounds as they wish) and I'm busy creating a decent thumbnail. In...

Private Custard

You may take the night textures from one of the official paints. That's very much appreciated :D Exactly which ones are official? There's a page on AVSim dedicated to the A320, but the links are all dead. My only other option is to head into the huge file libraries there. But that's dangerous terri...

Private Custard

I have (hopefully) one last big question.

How do I go about creating night textures, where the windows are lit up, along with the tail? Is there a default set floating around anywhere (where credit would have to be given in a readme), or is it a create-from-scratch affair?

Private Custard

I haven't done anything with the engines or wings yet, so would a simple texture swapout be possible? Where would I find the right ones? EDIT: Forget this post, I have an air canada a320 that will do as a base to strip back and edit! Just ensure you dont paint over someone else's work and save it a...

Private Custard

Right, first-timer training is almost over. I have an airworthy livery that proves I can do it. Now to try putting what I've been taught into practice on something more daring!

Private Custard

Cool, that worked.

My fan blade textures are wierd though, wobbling about like they're off centre!!

I'm gonna go out for some drinks and pizza and then finish this when I'm sober!!
