L-1049G repaints downloads on hold

[connie1049]

Hi,

In checking the repaints in the released model, I found that the paint kit (flying) that I used in the painting process did not have the added interior detail, so none of the repaints will have them. For those who already I gave a download link, I'm sorry for this. Until a proper paint kit becomes available, going back and modifiing 29 repaints would be too time consuming for me at this time. It would be un-fair on my part to offer them in light of the great work that the team has done, and I feel that I would be offering a half done repaint. Hope you understand.

Hi Frank,

not to try and make you do a lot of extra work or anything ;D ;D ;D but what I did for my TCA paints was basically adding a simple layer in PSP with the interior detail on it using the TWA master. Cut out everything but the interior bits and then merge it down. Then re-compiled the texture and it is basically done.

IF you have modified the Alpha in those areas you can use the same trick to simply make those areas white.

It did not take all that long to do either. The interior textures are on the fuse_t and fins_t sheets so even if someone made a whole new paintkit you would still basically end up doing the same sort of work.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the advise. This method never came across my mind, I must be really tired since I do something similar when I do screenshots into real world photos. Give me a chance so I can do one and I'll get back. Thanks again.

Hi Stefan,

Redid one last night and all went perfect but will do the wings (exhaust stains - landing light fixture ) further down. I have taken the files down and will redo them with their proper cfg's instead of having a master cfg for all the repaints that I did yesterday to cover the changes in the model designations. I think this will save alot of confusion. Again, thanks for your help.

Hi,

I downloaded most of your files yesterday
and installed them.
They are looking very fine and after a quick look
I haven't seen something strange.
But it was only a very quick look.

At first it was a bit odd to have a "master.cfg",
but then I realized quickly that this method
works very fast.
The only thing I would change is to place the
repaints in folders named like the entries in
the aircraft.cfg and then zip them.
So you have only to open the zip and copy
the texture folder in the aircraft folder.

Best Regards
Wolfgang

Hi Frank,

glad it worked for you.

I had posted a question to you on the main thread for your repaints.
1. How does on actually download them...do I need a account with Mediafire or a download link from you
2. Would it be possible to modify the EireAnn paint with the other airline text they use "Irish Air Lines"

One of our team members wanted that and I was going to make one but since you have one already finished that looks very nice indeed the other way would be even better.

Hi Stefan,

Well I got caught up here at home with real world issues. I probably won't be able to get back to redo these paints for a couple of days if not sooner. I will redo the Irish Airlines for you. Media Fire is free. I download files from them constanly. All you will need to do is click the download link, tell it where you want the download, I have a folder called downloads, and presto. Some have reported issues in the past, but this could be part of the security they have on their PC, while others have no problem at all. Once I finish that Irish Airlines, Ill send it directly to you if you want.

Hi Frank,

I only see a download link for the jpg but not the texture....must be something I am doing wrong.

Thanks for the "rework" on the Irish Airlines Paint. If you don't mind you can send it direct to my AOL e-mail.
