Skywatcher12 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 With hockey season coming decided to Penguin-ize my FS9 interface with a new look. It was intended as a quick one hour project but I got carried away after I quite liked where it was going. After coming up with a final version then decided it would be cool to have an interface to match various liveries. If there is interest, I'll finish these up and get them uploaded to Flightsim. They would all be in one download as the download size for all of them would not be large.

CRJ_simpilot Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Was that a simple photoshop, or was there more involved like using resource hacker or something? I'm curios as to how you did it. I like the South West one. Wouldn't mind a F-22 Raptor one. As that's what I primary fly most of the time. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

Skywatcher12 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Was that a simple photoshop, or was there more involved like using resource hacker or something? I'm curios as to how you did it. I like the South West one. Wouldn't mind a F-22 Raptor one. As that's what I primary fly most of the time. No hacking. I decided just to see what I could play with. All done in Photoshop. Amazed with the billion things created for this game no one has really done stuff like this so I did. You can't modify the FS9 text type or color which is a bit of a downer. I included a description text window where the background color would make the text difficult to read as on the Southwest sample above. The other main menu text like "Create a Flight" I didn't worry about. I experimented but found just leaving that area normal was fine and I wanted to stay true to how we've known FS9 all these years. Anything else there just looks too different imo. The description window at the base was necessary as this area contains text descriptions for everything in FS9. See what I can do for the F-22.

tiger1962 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Mark, That's BRILLIANT! I've seen a couple of attempts at 'modernising' the interface which I didn't like much, but these are just genius! Upload them at your earliest convenience, please!

CRJ_simpilot Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I should have paid attention. This is for FS9, and I need it for FSX. I wonder if the files are the same. I doubt it though. Could you do it for FSX as well? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

I've been contemplating doing FSX but going to certainly be a while. I only use FS9. FS9 does now have F-22 Raptor, F-14 and F-16. Same color scheme, different logos.

Skywatcher12 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hi, Well done, looking great. I'm interested in the Delta themes... Regards, DDP. Thanks, glad to hear of some interest. This will be the final version. I have added "Flight Simulator 2004" next to the "Fly Now" button. Feedback if people want this please? I'll give it a day or so for any replies before I make everything final and get it all uploaded. If people don't chime in, I'll make the choice obviously.

tiger1962 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm looking forward to the British Airways version; I can see all of these being popular actually, and a great demand from the FSX/FSX:SE users too - but first things first!

Skywatcher12 Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 As long as there are no real life dramas should have this pack uploaded to Flightsim within the next day. I'll post here once it's been upped. Great work there Mark; any chance of adding a Westjet or Air Canada to the mix. Westjet, Air Canada and Pan Am added. Braniff International. Flying colors? I looked but there are 4 of them from what I can tell and the logos don't appear easy to find so I'm leaving this off. I intend to go further with the interfaces in the future so I'll look to get them in next time. Sorry, would've liked to have put them in. I think the color schemes would look good. Peerhoven airlines? (I think he has fs9, not sure.) That looks like a FSX VA? VA's I don't intend to do. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That looks like a FSX VA? VA's I don't intend to do. Hehe! I think il88pp's referring to Jan Peerhoven (check out the Screenshots forum) who has an unfortunate habit of ditching aircraft into oceans and lakes all over the world. I think he'd be happy with a "splash" screen, never mind a full interface makeover! Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

I looked at the poster name and felt it was some kind of gag but then googled and found it looked like a legit FSX VA. Anyhow, neither is in the pack atm. lol Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yes, Jan Peerhoven, username: Peer Peerhoven Airlines. There's many paints of the airline in the library, (search: peerhoven), I thought you would have heard of it. There is also a painting set with example images for making your own paints. filename for that kit is: peerhovenpaintaids.zip I see it didn't make the cut, well, better luck next time perhaps. No worries. Congrats on your creations. Looks great! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Uploaded. Be in the library soon as it goes through Flightsim's procedures. Search for fs2004interface.zip Hopefully something there for everyone. Now, I'm going to load up the Pittsburgh Penguins interface and go fly finally! Gone well beyond the initial hour I intended to spend on this! lol Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Do you take requests? Maybe a WWII looking interface , a Golden Wings one or even a Space type?

I intend to do more of these in the future as there were many others I would've liked to have included. It was just a matter of not keeping everyone waiting forever. Next time around I'll look to include some things you mentioned. I like the SOH community so was already thinking something along those lines for those guys next time. I'll also make a post over there and at the other main site about this pack when it's showing in the library. I know not everyone visits all 3 of these sites.
