Try this:

 

red="243"

blue="243"

green="239" />

 

red="241"

blue="250"

green="5" />

 

The pole color is actually a very light grey, which works better than pure white in-sim.

Pure white will be:

 

red="255"

blue="255"

green="255" />

 

But there'll be no shading on the pole, it'll shine like a landing light! If you find it's too bright (and I suspect it will be) try the very light grey I posted above. It's about the same shade as used for the "white" paint on airliner fuselages, because it allows for some degree of highlight and shadow on the rounded surface.

blue="250"

green="7" />

Hi,

 

It's pretty easy to do this yourself, so why not try it?

 

1. Start/Accessories/Paint

(that is the Start Button, All Programs, double click the Accessories folder, Click on Paint).

 

2. Click the Edit Colors button on the upper right.

 

3. You get this box:

Then click on a color you are interested in in the upper left. I have clicked on a yellow square. Then you can change the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness to get the exact color you want. Or instead change the Red, Green, and Blue. Changing one set will change the other set. Or you can use your mouse to drag the black cross and black arrow above these numbers to change it visually. Once you have the color you want, take the Red, Green, Blue numbers displayed and enter them into your windsock code. In the example above that is red = 240, blue = 11, green = 240.

 

Hope this helps,

Tom Gibson
