Here are some early WIP's on the next 737 in the shop.







Lots of alignment work to do yet but it's getting there.

Nice.

I can see another one added to my fleet.

It still is.  Loads of issues trying to align everything. It's getting there though.

David,

She is a beaut(e?)?

I am super impressed with the color stripe alignment you got on the fore and aft sections of the fuselage. 

Captain Sim!  Hear us!  We need a better paint kit!  This one makes painting a PAIN.

i personally stopped painting the 737 for a while since the problem with alignments and stuff. It really takes to much time to get a decent livery without spending hours and hours.

Edwin,

Sadly I am in a similar bind.  I am investing too much time finishing details and matching the center section to the rest of the aircraft and not enough actually designing the livery and getting it done.

It's taken me some time, but it's finally done.  My Air California repaint is being uploaded to Avsim as I type.  Once it has been hosted, I'll post the usual links.







Some new screenshots to keep you going until then.

This must be one of the first repaints for this plane. Could there be a problem with current 1.0 version?

Air Cal looks already in my aircraft selection screen like its draining light, it is certainly not reflecting it. When loaded cockpit is all dark, only thing visible are the gauges. From outside, it shimmers and windows are grey.

Any suggestions? The other repaint I just added was CP Air and it showed up correctly.

Actually there are more problematic repaints. Same effect with Malev.

Copy the texture.cfg from texture.aa folder and replace the one in the texture.Air_Cal and the texture.Malev folders. This should fix the problem.

The liveries you are installing must have been created when the 737 was an Exterior Model.

Great thanks! That was the culprit.

(Before this I re-installed the plane 3 times with manual regedit actions, run the repair action with Acceleration disc, tried various combinations in the aircraft.cfg, downloaded a new exe and removed Mogwaisoft Shade... I was just about to update nvidia drivers)

Sorry the answer took so long. I didn't quite understand exactly what the problem was until today. I'm sorry you wasted time reinstalling the 737 unnecessarily, but I'm glad it all works fine now. Enjoy. Grin
