defaid Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 More or less what it says in the title... I'm having difficulty accessing Dave Maltby's site and am wondering if there's a paintkit available for his BAC 1-11 500 for FS9. I don't even need a full kit: all I really need is a plain white repaint onto which I can layer a tail logo & registration. Cheers, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 What I do if there is no paint kit, I clean one of the others off then add my own paint, but remember to save the original first. What program are you using to do your paints? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defaid Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Hi Col. Photoshop 7. Somewhat elderly but I've grown used to it. I do occasionally use Paintshop Pro too, though I forget which version. I bought that because, after I moved to Win 10, Photoshop wouldn't handle text layers. A few weeks later I discovered that Photoshop wasn't the problem: only that in Win 10 I'd set text size to 125% as the OS fonts are all so small. I reset to 100% and installed WinAero to change the fonts rather than the zoom (hence the retro image in another thread)... and found I no longer needed PSP except for some work involving transparency. And occasionally late in the evening because, unlike Photoshop, it has a dark background. I guess I'll have to find a reasonably plain & light repaint.

ColR1948 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Have you tried FSRepaint, I use it all the time, very easy to use? https://www.fsrepaint.com/fsrepainting/suporte.htm I painted all these using it: https://imageshack.com/a/qg7l/1 Col.

defaid Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 @ussmidway You're a saint. Thank you! @ColR1948 Not repainting much, I'd never looked into it. But then, having continually to reload a flight to see what I'd made was the only thing keeping me from repainting. I may be opening an imageshack account before long...

defaid Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Having fun now, repainting for my tiny Air Hauler fleet. (logo light... I know, but what's the point in having a shiny new logo if you can't see it? :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well done, hope we see many more. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
