I don't know if you remember the horrid Canadian Airlines default 747 paint I tried making about a year back, but this is a much greater improvement. Utilizing the Thomas Ruth A330 paint kit this time.

This is after 3 hours of working and learning.

Real Life:


First attempts:






As you can see, I'm having some trouble with the engines, winglets, and tail textures as well. But, it's a first draft.


I plan to eventually do A332, A342, and A343 Sabena repaints if everything goes well.

Constructive criticism is encouraged.

So far so good! Excellent work, I'm sure your efforts will pay off.

[Independence76]

I've put the Sabena package on hold and I'm now working on a Lufthansa A340-300X/A330-300X project. It's towards the end of completion, and here's the result after 2 days of work.

Some things will be fixed.

Any suggestions, comments, or criticisms?

May I ask why all of the textures seem to have a gold tint to them?

I have no idea why.

I downloaded a new sky texture thing from FlightSim, which may or may not be the culprit.

excellent work !

Good work. Try some window variation now shadowing too under the tail all this etc. Experiement.

I just finished an old livery of Air France.




Do you guys think I should seriously consider releasing it?

[seat183]

Why not? What is stopping you. Ive done about 40repaints and only 20 I released now I repaint to my standard 'everyone has different standards' before I release but theres lots I have done and sent to the trash. I kept experimenting till I reached my level.

[Independence76]

I've put the Sabena paints on hold until further notice. I want to learn more about repaints before I attempt more difficult detailing and engine paint designs.

I've completed a Lufthansa A330-300X. I chose D-AIKE because it was the first A330 I've ever flown on, along with my first international flight IRL.


Opinions (Yes, I'm aware of a brightness problem)?

I hope to release the AF A343 (Old Livery) sometime tonight on all 3 major sites (Simviation, FlightSim, and AVSIM)

Here are the preview shots going to be released with it.






Also, thanks so much to Seat183, as he helped me fix some settings in DXTBmp that made my textures sharper.

Good work, remember practice makes perfect!

Just released the AF and 2 LH repaints to AVSIM and Simviation. Will upload to FlightSim sometime soon.
