Re: How to paint?
Just 2 questions now
How long does it take to paint an aircraft?
And
Could you paint AI aircraft after this tutorial.
Thanks

Re: How to paint?
The time you need for painting aircraft belongs to your skills and the difficulty of the livery you like to paint.
(I did the Thai paint for both Airbus in 2 days)
It's the same way to paint AI aircraft

Re: How to paint?
Thank you, I'm a lot further.
But do you know how to paint over an other paint, (not a white texture)?

Re: How to paint?
It's difficult ... and it takes a lot of time. It's easier to use a paintkit, but if there isn't one you have to create the white texture your own Don't forget to include all details, rivets and shadows in your livery, otherwise your plane will look like you dipped it into a paint bucket xD

Re: How to paint?
Hey,
I've repainted one. Thank you so much.
I only experienced one problem.
My texture isn't very beautiful (I'm a beginner, but that is not the problem).
My texture is indistinct
My texture:
Finnair texture from FlightSim.com:
Yes I know I have to repaint some thing, especially the noce, but that's not the problem

Re: How to paint?
In Dxtbmp-program, click on the right side "include when saving" away and save to DXT3 or BMP 32 bit. : ]HahaHoela227 wrote:...I only experienced one problem...

Re: How to paint?
Did it but get a new problem.
Re: How to paint?
If that's an AI aircraft it may be invisible because of fsx and you can fix it by taking shadows off from FSX settings.

Re: How to paint?
New problem and very irritating.
Look:
This is the TFS_A343_T file when I open it.
I can't work with this.
(I wan't to make a A330-300 from Iberia, cutting and pasting everything of the body)
Hope somebody can help me,
Pieter

Re: How to paint?
This is because it's DXT3. Open it with DXTBmp and save it as 32Bit.
Then it should work.
Then it should work.

Re: How to paint?
Sorry about all my questions. But I still have them till it works correctly.
I made a new paint. (Surinam A330-300 PW)
I painted it and it worked to save it in a DXT3 file.
Then I started up FSX but the texture was still blurry.
Can I do something to help it or is this it the end of my paintings?
