Just had a thought you could use the HJG version and change the colour if that will do.

@swoop, I sent you a PM.

 

Col.

ColR1948 , i should have been a bit more specific on my post , i have the HJG Orbital paint , im looking for a L-1011 with rocket underneath , but i'm guessing there is not one available. Thanks for the help.:pilot:

The STARGZER livery "may" (no promises") be added to HJG´s L-1011-1 inventory "soon" (already discussed internally), but, there won´t/can´t be any model edit "with the rocket" :( .... for the foreseable future ;)

 

MRC

HJG "will" be offering a new texture representing this aircraft .... L-1011 TRISTAR 100 N140SC .... in the ORBITAL ATK/STARGAZER livery as follows ....

 

 

HJG "don´t guarantee being able to offer an edited model featuring the lower fuselage rocket .... BUT THEN AGAIN .... it "doesn´t guarantee this might not happen in the future.

 

MRC

HJG "may" also add yet another variation of this livery for this same aircraft too .... featuring the "GRUMMAN NORTHROP" titles.

 

"No promises though .... so .... we´ll see what happens ;)

 

MRC

Did they just change the colour like I posted above, that's what I did and saved another download?

 

Col.

Not sure what you´re on about there COL :confused: .... BUT .... the texture I presented below, was only produced by one of the HJG painters just a few days ago. It will accompany HJG´s already downloadable ORBITAL livery (orange titles) produced back around 2010 .... or thereabouts. What I hinted today .... that "may possibly" be comming later on too is a 3rd livery .... featuring the same aircraft once again but with NORTHROP GRUMMAN titles .... and which will accompany the ORBITAL ATK titled texture version presented below. Not aware of any other versions of these liveries currently avilable .... and even if they were HJG would still be doing "it´own versions" anyway.

 

MRC

What I am on about is I have the orange version and all I did was change the orange to blue and there you have it lol.

 

Col.

There´s a bit more to it than that :)

 

HJG´s "later" livery version/s features the slightly resized font due do the additional titling .... and there´s other subtle variances too.

 

It´s represents more accurate depiction than just a changing of the font colour .... this being the way HJG prefers doing things ;)

Thanks aerofoto for the heads up , looking forward to the skin . HJG guy's do an AMAZING job on all aircraft and paint's. :pilot:

HJG guy's do an AMAZING job on all aircraft and paint's.

 

Thanks "SWOOP" ;)

 

It´s not easy .... but then again .... anything worth doing, if done poperly (as properly as motivtion, skills on-and, information available, and certain FS limits all conspire to permit at least) .... ever is easy.

 

HJG does things "somewhat differently" than other groups .... and in doing so really caters for "a different type of FS enthusiast".

 

It´s run differently too .... and in accordance with a fairly enforced internal and public code of discipline.

 

Some like what HJG does .... and the way it does it .... and some don´t.

 

One can´t please everyone of course .... so at the end of the day HJG just pleases itself (first and foremost) that whatever it does/offers is good enough "for those whom it endeavours to "TRY´N" satisfy".

 

HJG´s been doing this for 19.5 years now and I´ve been involved with it amost from the very beginnng .... representing and aiding its transition from FS2000, to FS2002, to FS2004, and to FSX (portability in most cases but not nativity in regard to the latter FS version) .... and I s´pose, with a new M$FS version on the horizon next year, the question (not for HJG only because everyone/everything will like be influenced by what may be about to arrive) should be .... How long can it keep on doing what it does ?

 

I s´pose the logical answer to that is .... "So long as it wants to" .... or rather .... "So long as it feels it can justify doing what it does, the way it does, and has been doing it for the past almost 20 years",

 

Before anything/whatever else may be about to happen though there´s still quite a bit HJG wants to "TRY´N" make happen, and share with whomever else may be interested, so, we´ll just see what happens :)

 

Thanks once again ;)

Given recent interest in this particular aircraft expressed "here" .... HJG have not only decided to add the more recent blue/white ORBITAL SCIENCES CORPORATION ATK and NORTHROP GRUMMAN liveries, but also, add the original OSC red/white livery as well as the minorly different 2013 version too, whilst also upgrading its current red/white OSC livery .... as follows ....

 

 

1995

 

2001

 

2013

 

2016

 

2018

 

 

 

This particular aircraft is apprarent "the last" L-1011 TRISTAR still active today.

 

As previously stated HJG's remaining "non-committal" (at this stage) in regard to the possibility of a model edit featuring the PEGASUS rocket.

 

It's not that it can't .... or won't do it.

 

It's just that it's far too late in the year now .... and there are "other priorities" .... so .... we'll see what happens later ;)

 

In the meantime .... these "NEW" and upgraded/improved textures will be available soon.

Looks great, I can't put that in my sim, not because I don't like it, because now my sim is in 60's era retro mode, so any aircraft later than 1969 are out lol.

 

Nice screen shots by the way.

 

Col.

All 5 of these L-1011-100 textures are publicly available now (thanks to the efforts of both Tony MADGE and Erik INGRAM) from HJG .... having been released as part of the groups December/Christmas 2019 website update of 2-3 days ago .... and as referenced among the current FS.COM community news items.
